A former homebuilder, general contractor, landlord and developer, I bring my unique perspective to bear on every real estate transaction. In addition to my background in real estate development, I hold an MBA from Stanford, giving me expertise in financial analysis, negotiation and marketing all skills that give my clients the competitive edge they need to navigate the often tumultuous waters of real estate negotiations. When working with my clients, I love to educate them about the process, ensuring they not only understand every step but also enjoy themselves along the way. As one of my clients remarked in a review: "[Monica] evidenced high ethics, patience and humor throughout a difficult transaction." My goals are to provide such exceptional service that you tell everyone about me, and to reduce as much stress as possible for you in the process of making big decisions. When not out showing houses or having coffee with friends and clients, you'll find me at home in Smithville with my two Great Pyrenees mix rescues and a foster dog or two, or renovating an old house.
