    "Monica was our listing agent for our starter home in Monterey Park. While every house is different, and every sale is different, she did get us $40,000 over asking with over 10 offers and sold within a week. Because of our positive working relationship, I have recommended her to everyone I know who is looking to sell or purchase a home. I recommended her to my brother, who also sold his house over asking and within a short period of time. Here are a few reasons why I would strongly recommend you hire Monica as your agent: She is incredibly competent. She knows the market she recommended we list our house higher and we ended up in a bidding war. We always took her advice and trusted her completely. She is efficient with her communication. She responds to you super quick. As a nervous seller, I truly appreciated this quality about her. We didn't have to wait days to hear from her, she was quick and always available on the phone. She kept us informed every step of the way. She has an incredible team: photographer, stager, cleaning crew, handyman. Your fliers will look amazing and professional! She had our flyer printed in thick cardstock, in color and had the floorplan available during the open house. Note, I would highly recommend going with her stager it really makes your house look warm, and inviting, and everything to help get it sold quickly! Her cleaning lady is also incredible she made our home really, really clean. Everything looked move-in ready! She looks the part. She is smartly dressed, very professional, and has a calm demeanor. Spend 5 minutes talking with her, and she will soon become your new friend! It is so clear that Monica is the right choice. I can't say enough great things about Monica. In addition to the reasons I listed above, she is just a wonderfully sweet and kind person. You will not be disappointed with your decision!"

    "There was a property across the street from mine that was listed for sale. After being on the market for almost a year, the owner finally switched agents. Enter Monica. She came in, completely transformed it, and was able to immediately sell it. I loved what she did with it and I knew I wanted to have Monica as my listing agent. I reached out to Monica soon after and told her my plans. She replied almost immediately and I just felt like our personalities just jived--she was warm, friendly, and informative. After I was able to secure a new place, I met with Monica and we laid out the timeline. After I moved out, she was able to have my condo staged, photos taken, and listed in less than a week. I was in disbelief! My condo looked fantastic in pictures and in person. Good thing I already closed escrow on my new place, otherwise I'd reconsider selling my condo lol Looking at Monica's track record, I know she is an incredibly busy woman. Except I'd never know it based on how quick she was to respond and how she always kept me in the loop. We were able to get multiple offers over asking the first weekend after listing. She guided me on the offers and explained the pros and cons of each one. While we were in escrow, every time I thought to myself "I wonder when fill in the blank is?" And soon after, I'd hear from Monica giving me an update. It was like she read my mind! The escrow process was smooth--a little too smooth that I didn't feel like it was all actually happening! Even after closing, it all still feels so surreal because I'm not used to things being so easy and it's all because of Monica! Choosing Monica as my listing agent was one of the easiest decisions of my life!"

    "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, and 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 needed 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 me. Gave us breathing room. She would only say she's within a phone call or text away. And she was. Her insight into the real estate market is amazing. She even helped us decide on the home we purchased in another State! After we had purchased and secured our new home, a 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, and 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 in 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."
