Sonia Bendt is the "I can sell your property" seller's specialist. She has 30 years of successful real estate sales representing both sellers and buyers. Her energy, desire, knowledge, and experience are the driving forces for her success. When Sonia accepts a property listing, she is devoted 24/7 until the property is successfully sold. She is an outstanding marketer with a flair for staging which helps her achieve optimal prices for her sellers and helps guide her buyers to the home of their dreams.

A native New Yorker, Sonia has called the Upper East Side home for most of her life. She is currently licensed in New York, Arizona and Colorado which is a boost to her clients that are looking to relocate or purchase a second home. She chose to work at Berkshire Hathaway New York Properties because of its renowned brand recognition and its vast national and international reach and marketing.

Sonia graduated from Syracuse University with a dual degree in advertising and marketing from the S. I. Newhouse School of Communication and Whitman School of Management. She also received the Certificate of Interior Design from the New York School of Interior Design. She uses that training and her keen sense of color and style to help sell her listings quickly.

In her personal time, Sonia loves to swim and often likes to participate in open ocean races. Watching documentaries about successful interesting women is also a favorite pastime since Sonia finds them inspiring. The latest one was NYAD and the message "never ever give up" is exactly how Sonia conducts her real estate business.

It gives us great pleasure to write this letter to congratulate Sonia on her excellent efforts, skills and thorough perseverance in selling our apartment. Although our apartment was very difficult to sell, since it had been on the market with several other brokers to not avail, because it is a land-lease building. We cannot praise Sonia's efforts enough, she marketed the apartment in an honest way, showed great integrity, and was also very knowledgeable.

It is my great pleasure to write this recommendation for Sonia Bendt, the real estate broker for the sale of my coop apartment in Manhattan. My coop was located at 9 Barrow Street in Greenwich Village. There were obstacles to overcome before placing it on the market for sale. Sonia organized the renovation work and staging, she designed the color scheme with different shades of white and it was brilliantly executed. Sonia orchestrated the photos of the apartment which were so wonderful they resulted in an over asking sales price offer. It sold in less than a month! Sonia's incredible sense of timing and her skill at staying on top of pressing issues ... made the deal happen. In sum, Sonia dealt with every aspect of the sale of my apartment in the most professional and proficient manner. She is smart, quick and charming; a quintessential professional. I would recommend her highly to any seller or buyer.

My wife and I had been searching for the "right" apartment. To be honest, we dealt with many brokers in the past but the person that made the difference and helped my family's dreams come true is Sonia Christian Bendt. We found Sonia to be very professional and yet personable and approachable at the same time. From our very first interactions, she made us feel comfortable and gained our trust. She proactively provided advice and counsel on everything from potential schools for our children to actively sending us clippings from newspapers and trade-magazines to broaden our knowledge of the market and immediate area. It was this added value that helped us "close the deal". I'd strongly suggest that Sonia exemplifies "the best of the best".

Sonia, we tried to come up with the best superlatives we could think of to describe your assistance: wonderful, brilliant, creative, all which are true. The best one that we could think of, one that would encompass them all is Outstanding! We knew we found the right person when you were referred by our attorney and you called me, from Greece, the next day. We realized that the success of the transaction was because of you. Not only could my son and I not have handled it, we feel very strongly that had we had any other broker, the outcome would have been very different. Your referrals of contractors and accountant were perfect. The professionalism, talent, incredible support and empathy that you showed my son and me were overwhelmingly needed. Sonia, you stepped in to guide us through this very strenuous process. You led us to a successful end. Sonia Bendt --- you did it!

Sonia, it was really great working with you! It was a long journey and it paid off ... we are so happy in our new home. We had the apartment painted and floors refinished, and it looks brand new. The movers you recommended did a great job. They showed up at 8 am on Friday, we were all moved in by noon. We were all settled in by Sunday and now getting to know the neighborhood. I just wanted to say thanks again.
