“I met Monica organically at an open house and we immediately clicked. Monica is amazing, and my wife and I were constantly impressed with her throughout our buying process. Monica is warm yet professional, and was always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we got the most out of our search and to ensure our transaction went as smooth as possible (she even led the charge in helping push our lender to move quickly with just the right amount of tenacity where it was needed!). As first time homebuyers, Monica was also a wealth of knowledge and an amazing safety net for us. She excelled in everything from truly learning our taste in listings to helping us learn what to look for when touring a house to explaining every detail we needed to know in the offer process. She also went above and beyond to always be available to us, move quickly when we needed to, and ensuring solid communication with the sellers. Even after our transaction was complete, when my wife and I were out of town, Monica was happy to go over to the house and take some needed measurements for us! As a Bay Area native with tons of experience, she knows the area extremely well, even down to restaurant and vendor recommendations. We now consider Monica a friend and someone we can trust when we need anything. I can't recommend her enough for your real estate needs!“ - 1/16/2024 - Jared S

“Monica was absolutely amazing! We met her at an open house and we instantly clicked with her. We couldn't have found a better real estate agent. My husband and I have pretty busy work schedules but Monica was super easy to work with and did everything she could to make things easier for us. She fought tooth and nail for us and we got our dream house! With Monica, we found not only a great real estate agent, but someone that we want to share our lives with as a friend. Pick Monica! You will NOT be disappointed because she is THE BEST.“ - 1/10/2022 - Lauren K

“Though our experience with Monica was short, she helped us in purchasing our 1st home. She communicated with us through the whole process and was a great liason between us and the sellers. She also introduced us to a great loan officer that was really knowledgeable and experienced. Monica knows all the ins and outs of the East Bay. Please contact her for selling/buying homes in the East Bay“ - 2/14/2022 - Chris Q

“Monica acted as my real estate agent in my recent purchase of a condo and I cannot recommend her enough. She was extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful throughout the whole process. She kept clear and consistent communication with me, educated me on the real estate process, and acted as my advocate. When issues arose, she simply pivoted and found a way around them. On top of all this, she was kind, funny, and enthusiastic. If you want a smooth process and to have a great time buying property, do yourself a favor and contact Monica.“ - 11/2/2021 - Ellen M

“Monica is a star. We are happy to say we are in the home of our dreams, and are extremely grateful to Monica for making this a reality. Not only did she help us find our home, but she connected us with an awesome lender, and has great connections throughout the Bay Area (which is very helpful, especially for us as first time homeowners). We had worked briefly with other realtors before, but none with Monica's passion, drive, and honest desire to find us a home that was the perfect fit. My family and I would definitely recommend Monica to anyone looking for a home! From the start, Monica was very patient with us. We must have looked at dozens of houses, and each time, she made sure to ask what we liked and didn't like. She always took these into account, and the next suggestions were always better than the last. Also, she was mindful of our budget and the fact that we had to take some time to get our finances in order. In the end, she found us the perfect home and boosted our confidence, so when we finally made an offer, she was with us every step of the way to make sure we were competitive and had a solid personal letter, and that all closing paperwork was done efficiently. One thing to note, she did all of this during a pandemic, and took all the steps and safety precautions necessary for us to look at homes in person.“ - 6/16/2022 - Claudia P

“Monica was great in helping us find our new home. She was always in communication with us about different properties trying to find us the very best fit. Not only are her communication skills great, she also is going to make sure you’re getting the best deal as a buyer. The most important thing for me is she is able to explain a lot of the “fine print” type details of buying a home in a clear way. Couldn’t recommend her more!“ - 6/1/2022 - Young P

Monica takes great pride in understanding and fulfilling her client's needs and it is apparent through her skilled negotiations, industry knowledge, professionalism, and marketing savvy. Her philosophy of open communication coupled with a fierce work ethic, make Monica a pleasure to do business with and have no doubt led her to success in this highly competitive industry.“ - 10/2/2021 - Charlie C
