Sonya grew up in Rochester, NY and graduated from Bishop Kearney High School. She now lives in Fairport, NY with her Husband of 24+ years and her son. Sonya and her family have lived in Fairport for the last 24+ years.
Sonya grew up in the real estate business, watching both her parents sell real estate. She graduated from St. John Fisher College with a bachelor’s degree. Sonya obtained her Real Estate License in 2000. After both of Sonya's parents passed away from Cancer in the early 2000's Sonya was left with the decision to continue with Real Estate or not. Sonya did not want to see her father’s passion and hard work come to an end and decided to continue the business. She had worked alongside her father since 2000, where she learned both the operational and business aspects of the firm and the industry.
Although qualified to continue in her father’s footsteps, it was not an ideal time for Sonya to do so as she was already a partner of a clothing boutique. Despite its challenges, she could not live to let her father down and forged on to manage Geraci as well as continue her role as partner of the boutique.
The real estate firm became primary focus when Sonya and her business partner, Lisa Gianvecchio decided it was time to move on from the retail business. They closed the doors of Solia Boutique in 2012 and focused solely on growing Geraci Realty.
Geraci Realty has continued to grow just as Sonya & her father had planned. She will always stay true to her roots and how she was taught to treat all her clients, Like Family! Sonya has and will always deal with her clients directly throughout the entire transaction. All her clients are her top priority no matter how big or small the transaction may be. You will never feel like a number & you will always get Sonya’s honest straightforward opinion. It’s not about the sale for Sonya, it’s about the lifelong connection.

I could not be more happy with my selection of Geraci Realty. Sonya and Tammy are such down to earth, warm and caring individuals that they really took a lot of the stress away that comes with selling a home. The amount of effort they put into making my home open house ready went above and beyond what i could have possibly expected and their taste when staging the house really brought out the beauty of my home. I cannot thank them enough for all their hard work, constant communication and for selling my home for more than I had ever expected. I would strongly suggest anyone looking to sell their home to call Geraci Realty.

I've bought two houses with Geraci Realty, and sold one as well. Each time my experience was perfect. I worked with Sonya, she understood what I was looking for and quickly found the houses I bought. When Geraci Realty staged my home for an open house the team did a fantastic job showing and listing with beautiful photos.
