Sonia, our BHAUS EIGHT co-founder, started her RE career at Prudential California Realty founding The Benavides Group. The group transitioned into Mar eBrokers, an independent brokerage boutique, operating from her home office in Manhattan Beach.

Sonia earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology from UC Berkeley, and a Master in Business Administration from UCLA Anderson School of Management. Always multi-tasking, she was a flight attendant traveling the world while completing her studies at UC Berkeley. She left her in-flight career to complete her MBA studies, and worked in corporate real estate roles and luxury marketing upon graduation. Her marketing work at Louis Vuitton and St. John Knits gave her a special perspective into what luxury and personal service entails, which she now passes on to the BHAUS EIGHT team.

She serves on the Board of UCLA Anderson Women Group, and volunteers in various activities to help the environment and help people in need through her daughter’s school.

Sonia is a world traveler, pilates and yoga enthusiast, food lover, scuba diving explorer, a ski bunny, and a mother of an amazing girl.

Besides English, Sonia also speaks Spanish and French.
