With a background in fine dining restaurant management and corporate sales, Sonal brings years of leadership, negotiation, and client service experience to real estate. Early in her career, she managed more than 150 employees across dining, bar, and banquet operations, where she developed a strong foundation in communication, problem-solving, and delivering exceptional customer experiences in fast-paced environments. She later transitioned into procurement and sales, working with large OEM and CEM manufacturers, including Fortune 500 companies. Through that experience, she strengthened her negotiation skills, learned the importance of relationship-building, and gained the ability to guide clients confidently through complex decisions and transactions. Sonal’s decision to pursue real estate was shaped by her own experience relocating from Southern California to North Carolina. While purchasing new construction from across the country, she found herself navigating much of the process and negotiating directly with the builder despite having buyer representation. The experience showed her how important strong communication, advocacy, and guidance are during a real estate transaction. She knew she could provide buyers and sellers with the level of support she wished she had received herself. That experience continues to influence how Sonal serves her clients today. Having personally navigated a cross-country move, she understands the emotions, logistics, and challenges that come with relocating and starting fresh in a new place. She is passionate about helping clients understand their options, feel supported throughout the process, and make confident decisions about their next move. For Sonal, real estate is about relationships. She feels incredibly fortunate to work with so many wonderful clients, whether helping them find the right home or positioning a property to maximize their net proceeds. Her goal is to build lasting connections that continue well beyond the transaction. Outside of real estate, Sonal enjoys spending time with her daughter, a senior at North Carolina State University majoring in marine science, and her two pups. She loves exploring North Carolina’s parks, walking trails, mountains, and beaches, as well as cooking, traveling, watching movies, and reading whenever time allows. Sonal is also fluent in Gujarati, allowing her to connect with and serve an even broader range of clients and families.
I work on a few simple philosophies:
Every house is the RIGHT house for you at the RIGHT price.
Every house is the WRONG house for you at the WRONG price.
Remember, you don't make your money when you sell your house, you make it when you buy!!!
And finally, there is NO such thing as a once in a lifetime deal...there will always be another one.
My reviews are not from family members 'fluffing' and artificially inflating my ratings....they come from actual clients, all of whom by the end of their transactions I can energetically call friends.
I will work tirelessly for you. Those aren't empty words, I promise. And if we have to visit every house in the state to find the right one for you, then you're probably too picky :)
