Get To Know Zonia
Follow the wake of Zonia Alvarez’s career and you’ll soon see its resemblance to one of her favorite Zig Ziglar quotes, “You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” May 2020 marks Zonia’s 13-year anniversary as a Realtor at Coldwell Banker Realty. Prior to entering the real estate industry, Zonia had a thriving career as a professional photographer capturing the magic of couples on their big day. She began contemplating a new line of work when a close friend convinced her to join her brokerage. The industry was a natural fit for Zonia—in fact, she has received the Five Star Professional Award, an award that her clients nominate her for every year since 2012. For Zonia, the art of helping clients prepare for the big move, one of the largest transactions of their lives, is not unlike her former job.
She now works directly with buyers and sellers ushering them through this life-changing transaction. “I build a strong relationship with my clients,” Zonia says. “I personally manage the process from start to finish. It’s important to me that I don’t transfer them off to another agent, leaving them unsure of who their advocate is.” That’s why clients continually return to her—90 percent of her business is referred to her by her database, and many past clients have become lifelong friends. Being a Dave Ramsey Endorsed Local Provider has also enabled her to assist new prospects seeking a trusted partner in the real estate industry.
For Zonia, being the best at what she does is important not only to her own success but to her clients’ as well. She uses her background, expertise, and resources to better serve her clients and prepare their homes for market. Her Broker in turn provides all the marketing tools she needs to be successful at gaining the most exposure for her listings. For her buyers, many of which are purchasing their first home, she is sure to communicate and facilitate every step of the transaction to make it as smooth as possible. “Having both a good lender and a Realtor who can communicate with all parties takes the majority of the stress away from buyers,” Zonia says. “For most clients, any lack of communication is where the uncertainty comes in.” This is what clients remember long after working with Zonia—how she took a complex experience and made it stress free.
Throughout her career, Zonia has been committed to staying educated and informed on industry trends and market changes, earning certifications in everything from negotiation to luxury homes. She shares what she learns with her clients. “The more you know, the more you’re worth, and the more you can help others,” Zonia says. “Business done with excellence matters. I’m dedicated to my clients. I want to be the best I can for them—it’s what I strive for.”
