KENNEDY GLOBAL REALTY Where culture is based on relationship, because your business is personal

hether she’s preparing a warm, delightful pastry in the kitchen for her two children, or she’s showing beautiful luxury homes in Southlake to potential buyers, Sonya Kennedy is living her dream. Lucky for future Southlake residents, her dream—and passion for life—could help you discover your dream home one day. As the broker/owner of Kennedy Global Realty and a Realtor with GRI, ALHS, SRS and ABR designations, Kennedy is a successful businesswoman who genuinely cares about helping people find the right houses. “I believe in creating and planning my own path rather than depending on others to define my path for me,” she says. “My priority is loyalty to clients while being fair and honest with my teammates and colleagues.” Kennedy switched to real estate in 1995 after a previous career in international sales and marketing. “Real estate was a natural choice because I could apply my skills easily and continue to do what I love most—guiding and serving people with their choices,” she says. Kennedy loved it so much that she decided to take the next step and received her broker’s license in 2011. She then launched her own brokerage. Kennedy’s experience has positioned her as a trusted expert in international relocation. One of her clients says, “Our transition to Texas from Switzerland was always a daunting thought, made all the more easy by the experience, thoroughness and patience Sonya has shared with us to find our dream home. We highly recommend Sonya based on our experience and for her sincere, warm caring approach to her clients.” Although there are many real estate professionals who serve the Southlake area, Kennedy stands out because of her focus on relationships rather than numbers. “My clients become part of my life and I’ll always be there for them,” she says. “I’m proud to say that 90 percent of my business comes from my previous clients’ referrals.” When she decided to start her own company, Kennedy knew it would be based out of Southlake. After she and her husband got married, they fell in love with the city and decided to make it their home in 1986. “I wouldn’t even think of doing business anywhere else besides the place that I know and love,” she says. When Kennedy is not busy showing clients homes in and around Southlake or cooking in the middle of the night for fun (besides pastries, she also experiments with French and Indian cuisine), Kennedy likes to travel. Her experience traveling and living in different parts of the world allows her to relate to different cultures. In her rare free time, she

also enjoys spending time with her daughter, Secil, who graduated from Carroll ISD and was valedictorian of her class at Texas A&M University, and her son Sean, who graduated from Westlake Academy and now studies engineering at UT Dallas. “I’m a very discerning consumer,” says Kennedy. “Buying and selling real estate are some of the most important decisions we have to make, so who you hire to handle those transactions is the first step toward the winning path.” If you hire Kennedy, she will take you from that first step all the way to the finish line: your dream home.
