Sonja Silvers
Broker/Owner
AS A NATIVE of Clay County, I am passionate about this area. I have raised my family here and feel blessed that they have been able to stay here and raise their families here as well. I have been in Real Estate for 20 years and worked in the field for 35 years and I can honestly say that I love my job. I am familiar with the surrounding communities and know a lot of hidden secrets our beautiful area has to offer. My company Sonja Silvers Realty Group came about a few years ago to get away from the corporate world of Real Estate and keep it local. Being an independent company gives us the ability to serve you our clients in a way that offers professionalism and courtesy. We stay on top of changing trends in the market and technology that keeps us working in a more efficient manner to serve you. I would be happy to show why I choose to live, work, and play here in these magnificent mountains and to help you call it your home too.

Hello, as you can see above my name is Jason Whitaker. I have been a resident of Clay county my entire life. My wife and I have been fortunate to raise our family here in the mountains. I have operated a successful painting business here in the area for 22 years!! That has given me a wealth of knowledge in the housing industry. In the painting business, attention to detail is everything, and I try to apply that same attention to my real estate clients as well.. Also customer care is of the upmost importance to me as that is what keeps all businesses flourishing. I want all clients to walk away from a transaction feeling that I have done everything I can for them to make their experience as good as possible.
