We found Sonja through our realtor and Sonja was a true gem from the beginning. She came to our home and explained the process of paperwork. Sonja truly works non stop and held our hand through the whole mortgage process. Truly an awesome lady and now a friend. Sonja will be the only person we will work with when it comes to getting another home. Highly, highly recommended her to anyone.

Sonja Milsom was an amazing guide through new homeownership. Every question I had got an almost immediate answer from her well of knowledge – and if not, she took the time to find out to get the information for me quickly. I can’t thank her and Southern Trust enough for getting me through a very detailed process with skill and grace! The process could have easily overwhelmed me but she held my hand and checked on me regularly to make sure I was steady and ready for this new chapter. Thank you!!!

Working with Ms. Sonja was truly an outstanding experience. From the very beginning, she took the time to make sure we clearly understood all the financial decisions involved in the process of buying a house (like our loan options, market rate, insurance, etc) and guided us each step before moving forward. What impressed us the most was her commitment & availability throughout the entire process; responding quickly with clear and helpful information. She was available LITERALLY morning, day, night & overnight too. I used to wake up to messages sent from her overnight… that right there is commitment, professionalism, dedication & passion for what she does. Ms. Sonja guided us with patience and care, making what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, we were able to secure the best possible rate and close on our home without any delays or surprises. We are deeply grateful for all her hard work and highly recommend Sonja Milsom, Darien Pearce Team & Southerners Trust.
