Monica just sold our Pasadena home and working with her was the best decision my wife and I made.

 

She really knows the Pasadena market!

 

The first time we met, Monica laid out a detailed plan to sell our home quickly while maximizing the sale price. She explained how she would prepare our house for sale (it was beautiful when she got done with it), outlined her pricing strategy and her negotiation strategy.

 

Then she went into action and her plan came together exactly as she had described it. In fact, even better. Monica got us even more money over list price than she said she would.

 

And all those little issues that come up while getting a vintage Pasadena home ready for listing? Monica had people who could handle them quickly, professionally and economically. We didn't miss a step on our way to market.

Plus, she is a delight to work with. Friendly, considerate, responsive and terrific at dealing with other agents, inspectors and escrow. Whenever we had a question, she was there with the answer.

I recommend Monica to anyone selling a house, particularly in Pasadena and the greater SGV.

She's a seller's dream!

We met Monica several years ago while visiting open houses in search of our first home in the San Gabriel Valley/East Los Angeles. We had no experience in the real estate market and had no concrete contacts with any realtors knowledgeable about the area. My mother who is a realtor in northern CA called Monica for us and encouraged us to engage her services to help us find our first home.

The Los Angeles market is quite competitive even 6 years ago when we bought our first home. Monica met up with us every weekend for many weeks visiting open houses, making offers on homes, and helping us navigate through the sometimes emotional process of getting outbid by other buyers. Monica was always encouraging, caring, and gave us the little kick of reality when we needed it the most. When the offer on our first home was accepted, we were actually sad that we wouldn't see her on the weekends anymore. She had become such an essential part of an important phase in our life.

Fast forward six years after our home purchase and we again called Monica to help us sell our house since we were moving out of the area. Monica was responsive, efficient, and personable like she always is and was able to get our house prepped for sale in less than 3 weeks. She managed the clean-up, cosmetic improvements, and staging. After the property was posted and the open house, we received more than 10 offers. The house sold for well above asking and the process to close went smoothly. We would not have been able to get all this done without Monica.

I was a little bit apprehensive when my husband wanted to interview her. Since we really did not know her.

We were meeting Monica through a referral source, our Real estate agent from another state.

After our first meeting, she already had me at ease. We let her know that we need to secure our next home before we would list our current home. She understood it.

One of the things I liked about working with Monica, she never pushed. Gave us breathing room. She would only say she's within a phone call or text away. And she was. Her insight in the real estate market is amazing. She even helped us decide on the home we purchased in another State!

After we have purchased and secured our new home, couple of months after our initial meeting, we started serious conversations with her regarding listing our home in Alhambra. She guided us, informed us and directed us on what we should be doing next .

From de cluttering our home, pictorials to the 3D matterport, Monica guided and directed everyone. I knew she was busy with her other clients but she was always "hands- on". It was impressive .

Letting go is very hard. Letting go of a home we lived on for 18 years and moving to another State, is even harder. I personally went through so many emotions. I am grateful and thankful that we worked with Monica.

Monica, thanks again for your help in selling our previous home. We appreciate you and your professionalism. You did a very good job.

Monica is a great agent, she is very professional, hard working, on time and is a very kind and thoughtful. We appreciated her diligence and her pleasant demeanor, I can't think of anything she could have done better. I strongly recommend Monica and am very happy that she listed and sold our home!

Choosing a realtor is a difficult decision and we interviewed and asked many people for recommendations before we decided to work with Monica. We felt very comfortable that Monica really understood our home and her knowledge of the market impressed. We really felt the sense of trust that Monica would be able to get the best possible outcome for our family. We could not be more pleased with our decision. Monica was there every step of the way. She guided us though every process including how she would ensure a safe environment during Covid and when we had multiple offers, she explained our options. She ensured suitably qualified buyers were shown the house and we were soon in Escrow. Escrow went without drama. Monica clearly knew that the buyers were a great choice who loved our house. I happily recommend Monica to anyone looking for a professional, honest and truly wonderful person to sell their home.
