Statesville NC Real Estate Guide –Sonya Leonard, Exit Home Team Realty Agent 

Do you have the right North Carolina REALTOR®?

Buying a home is one of the largest purchases you will make in your lifetime so it is important you work with a professional that will guide you through the transaction and provide you with the right information to ensure a solid investment.

As a REALTOR®, my focus in every transaction is to build a relationship of trust with my clients and provide expert advice to help them realize their goals.  I believe that communication is the key to building and maintaining strong relationships and I will work hard every day to ensure your satisfaction.

I specialize in working with buyers and sellers of Residential homes and land sales in the Statesville and Lake Norman NC area.  The Lake Norman area is one of the fastest growing areas in the state and the small town of Troutman just to the north is just starting its growth spurt!  The city of Statesville (known as the crossroads of NC because of its intersection of Highways 77 and 40) is also in a period of growth and the opportunity to purchase a home or land is abundant due to low interest rates and affordable prices.  Please take the time to visit the Statesville Real Estate Guide for links to all the information you will need to learn about Statesville and the Lake Norman area. 

For Sellers:  It is not about listing your home for sale, it is about getting you home SOLD.  I offer a strong marketing plan that includes Internet marketing strategies, media distribution, Realtor® resources and pinpoint pricing strategies.   My strong internet presence and positioning enables me to attract more buyers to your home to help get it sold in less time.

“Excellent Knowledge and Service”  Paul and Sandra B.

“Sonya gave good feedback on the house we were selling which provided a quick sale for a great price in a struggling market”  Steve and Tina F.

“I like how Sonya keeps me updated on how sales are going in our Community”  Tina Z.

For Buyers:  My job is to get you in the best home for your money with the least amount of stress.  I provide all my buyers with a thorough initial consultation to learn about you and what specifically you are looking for in a home.  I have a customized “Homebuyer Toolkit” that will help you keep track of homes we will look at and guide you through the entire home buying process.  I am there, every step of the way!

“One thing we were really impressed with was Sonya’s honesty and integrity.  Never once did she try to sway us towards more expensive homes just to make more money”  Steve and Tina F.

“Sonya has become “Momma Leonard” and it feels like she has been part of the family forever.  She went above and beyond to make sure I had all the necessary paperwork, that I understood everything and that things went smoothly.  I hear from friends that is not always the case with other realtors.  My realtor is the best and I would recommend her to anyone!”  Walida C.

“Our Realtor was the most honest, encouraging and straight forward person we have met and not afraid to go the extra mile to help.  I consider her my friend”  Barnabus and Anna J.

“Sonya is the ONLY Realtor and person I have EVER done business with that did not require my follow up to make sure you did your job.  You went out of your way and took additional, unnecessary steps to help me with house appointments prior to closing considering I lived an hour commute from Statesville.  You answered every question promptly and were NEVER dishonest in order to close the deal. On top of that you and your husband willingly met me at Sears prepared to help me bring home a grill!”  Rachelle C.

"I've moved around more than I'd like to admit. In doing so, I have both interviewed and worked with a fair number of realtors on buy and sell side transactions. Each of them left me feeling they could and should have done something that they did not. That was not the experience I had with Sonya. Sonya's diverse perspective gained through her background in many areas of the home financing/building/buying process was very refreshing. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Sonya and found her skill set to be unique on many fronts. I would gladly recommend Sonya to anyone interested in a real estate transaction. Moreover, based on my experiences...I would encourage you to contact her. Top notch all the way!"  Jamie C.

My Real Estate Background:

Charlotte Regional Realtors® Association

NC Association of Realtors®

Accredited Buyers Representative

Graduate of the Real Estate Institute

Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource Certification

Currently working on my Certified Residential Specialist Designation

It is my goal to stay educated on matters that affect my buyers and sellers so I make sure to take time every day to study the national and local real estate market and I attend as many seminars and continuing education classes that I can so that I can pass that information along to my buyers and sellers.   I am also committed to my community through my volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity of Iredell County and the Greater Statesville Chamber of Commerce.

I have been married for 21 years to my wonderful husband Mike.  We have 4 grown children, a daughter-in-law and two very special granddaughters.  My husband has been a builder for over 30 years and we have built our last three personal residences (this is how I know how difficult it can be to hire people to complete a job!).  I have a bachelor’s degree in Marketing and worked in the Mortgage Industry for 7 years as a loan officer. I have a great deal of personal and professional experience in preparing a home to sell as well as building a new home and settling in a new location.  I know what’s involved in making a real estate transaction as smooth and stress-free as possible and I work diligently to put that knowledge to work for my clients every day.

The relationship I have with my clients is professional, honest and fun!  I promise to return your emails and phone calls and keep you well informed all through the process.  I am proud to say that my clients always remain on my contact list so that they can stay up to date on the real estate market!  If you are searching for a Realtor® that is working for you… search no further.  Call me today or visit me on my website at www.StatesvilleRealEstateGuide.com.  I look forward to meeting you!
