About Sonia Dufty

Meeting Sonia you feel immediately engaged. Interested and listening, her sincere approach and innate ability to build trust and confidence is compelling.

Before moving into real estate, Sonia worked with an award-winning business broker marketing a wide range of businesses. Sonia has never believed in the “one size fits all” approach and carefully tailors her marketing strategies to suit each home.

“The UP ‘by design’ philosophy is a perfect fit for how I believe every home and every homeowner should be treated. Because every situation is different, the bespoke curated solution that UP are able to provide combined with my network, gives me the tools I need to get a top result for my clients.”

While searching for a new family home herself, Sonia experienced first-hand what an emotional rollercoaster it can be. Consequently, she is well aware of what it takes to help others navigate the challenges of selling or buying a home.

“Selling someone’s home is such a big responsibility and one that shouldn’t be taken lightly. It’s important you have a genuine, pro-active agent on your team, someone you feel comfortable with and confident in, who understands the value of relationships. Everyone is important on the journey to an excellent result.”

Sonia and her family live in Northcote Point and after 15 years in “The Points” she has an in depth knowledge and connection to Auckland’s beautiful North Shore. She enjoys sponsoring Northcote’s hugely popular Bearcats Basketball Academy and assistant coaching the local primary school basketball team.

Sonia only takes on a small number of property listings at any one time, to ensure her clients and their homes get the attention they deserve. All with a 100% commitment to securing the best possible result.

Testimonials
"I highly recommend Sonia Dufty as a real estate agent. Sonia was caring, honest and kept me in the loop throughout. Everyone was important and the whole process was about everyone being accommodated and happy. Our buyer had last-minute concerns but Sonia was able to bring us all together and reassure them - we were both very happy with the outcome. Over the years, I've been involved in 5 house sales. For me, this was the very best sale ever and I cannot speak of Sonia highly enough". F Dunlop, Long Bay-
"Just wanted to take the opportunity to sincerely thank you for everything you have done to allow for the smooth purchase of our new home. We cannot recommend you highly enough with everything you did from the first time we met you to view the property. Nothing has been too much trouble and we appreciate at times we were highly demanding due to falling in love with the property. Throughout the purchase, you have been kind, patient and professional with our endless questions and able to put our minds at rest with us selling and purchasing for the first time in NZ. We would not hesitate recommending your services and would most definitely ask you to manage any future sales and purchases in the future. It really has been a pleasure and we hope to stay in touch". D & C Bliss, Long Bay-
"We can't express how grateful we are to have had Sonia involved in our house sale. Not only was she extremely supportive during the planning stages, she was mindful that we were running a busy household and made sure disruption was minimal. Such a breath of fresh air in the real estate industry, while still having excellent negotiation skills when it mattered. We tasked Sonia with a pretty tough brief and she completely knocked it out of the park. Thank you!" S Delaney, Northcote Point-
Thank you Sonia! We are so grateful for your help in selling our home. You listened, understood the urgency, and got the campaign underway without delay, timing everything beautifully to coincide with the exit date we had given you. We are especially appreciative of the extra evening open homes and the detail that you provided to create a warm and ambient atmosphere. You overcame the questions that accompany a house with construction such as ours, you prepared thoroughly, were open and honest with your answers to result in a much-needed sale for us. Thank you again. We will be very happy to provide a reference to any prospective client who is wanting a top notch, genuine salesperson. We wish you every success for the future. Lynn and Neil, Herne Bay-
