She went above and beyond in helping stage our house for sale, and managing the process when we were no longer in state. We would highly recommend her!"

"Sona was wonderful to work with. She brought a lot of insight, experience and knowledge to the process. We were particularly impressed with her negotiation skills.

She was never pushy, always forthright with us and always listened to our opinions. We highly recommend her."

Sona has had an extremely successful career in real estate and brings a wealth of experience and professionalism to her career. She began selling real estate at C.S. McClellan Real Estate, a family owned boutique firm, in Pelham, NY, over 30 years ago. She quickly became the manager and then purchased the company directly from the McClellan family. With over 30 agents on board, the office was invited to join the Sotheby’s brand in 2008 and in 2021 her entire office was offered a partnership with Compass, the nation’s #1 independently owned brokerage and the top firm in Manhattan. Sona retains total ownership of the Pelham office. Compass has skyrocketed to the top of the real estate industry in 10 short years surpassing all of the old giants. They are modernizing the industry and have attracted the top 10% of agents across the Country. Sona is thrilled to pair her extensive local expertise and professionalism with a dynamic high-tech high-touch platform to elevate what it means to buy and sell real estate in 2023 and beyond.
Sona was born and raised in Manhattan. She holds a BA in Psychology from Mount Holyoke College and a Master’s Degree in Psychiatric Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania. Sona and her husband, Richard, raised their 3 daughters in Pelham and they all attended the Pelham schools. Sona and Richard have been extremely involved in the community, volunteering extensively in Pelham’s schools, charities, cultural organizations and social activities. Sona has held many board positions and leadership roles.
Sona sells real estate all over the County of Westchester but she is an expert on Pelham and specializes in that community. She has received many awards for her achievements in the industry and is consistently among the top realtors in the Town. She is an extremely skilled and savvy negotiator, both on the buying and selling side. She enjoys helping her buyers get acclimated to their new neighborhood and she is very successful at helping sellers relocate to their next destination. She also has substantial experience in real estate development, most recently on City Island where she successfully spearheaded a 43-unit waterfront condo project. She is currently the exclusive agent for "The Fairchild," 3 rental buildings with 33 units in Pelham, NY.
She enjoys playing tennis, paddle, bicycling, traveling, cooking and, most importantly, spending time with her family and friends.
