About Monica

Finding the right house is deeply personal. It often takes patience and the ability to trust the process even when it looks like things may not be going your way. Partnering with an experienced, caring real estate agent like Monica eases the stress and makes the journey fun and fulfilling. She loves touring homes with her clients, advising them on features to consider for potential resale or creatively remodeling if it checks “almost” all the boxes. Monica feels just as excited as they do when they’ve found “the one.” She also enjoys helping sellers stage their homes, ensuring they’re market-ready for the best first impression possible. A seasoned real estate agent in the Chicago area since 2000, Monica is extremely knowledgeable, persistent, and supportive of her clients. She has further advanced her skills earning such prestigious designations as Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA), Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR), Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), and Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) over the years. This Five Star Real Estate Agent (2019-2021) is the ultimate real estate advisor who anticipates clients’ needs and excels at the arts of communication, collaboration, and negotiation. Born in Los Angeles, California, and raised in Palos Verdes, a coastal suburb of LA, Monica graduated from Stephens College in Columbia, MO, with a Bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Communications. She was initially in commercial production as a production assistant, then worked as a children’s talent agent in Miami and Chicago, her home, since 1994. Monica has lived in Lakeview, Lincoln Park, and West Town, and in her current neighborhood, Oak Park, since 2004. While she specializes in Oak Park, River Forest, and Forest Park, she ventures into other areas upon her clients’ request. She also owns a condo in Rogers Park and is excited to add more property to her portfolio. Married for almost 25 years, Monica has three daughters, a stepson, daughter-in-law, three grandchildren, and a Cockapoo named “Agent” with his own Instagram page. Plus, she’s a beginner tennis player looking to better her game! She serves as a director for the Oak Park Area Association of Realtors and on the fund development committee for Sarah’s Inn, which provides comprehensive services for families affected by domestic violence, with a mission to create communities free of relationship violence.

"I had recently moved to the area and met Monica at a property she was having an open house for. We talked and made plans to meet up at another time to go over my property needs and wants. She listened, was very friendly and helpful and really knew the area so could help me broaden my search to areas that fit my needs and wants. Monica not only helped me find my house but has also kept in touch and provided recommendations for movers and handymen. I’d highly recommend Monica Dalton as a realtor to anyone looking to buy a home in the area!"

Monica is an excellent realtor who helped us from getting our house ready for showings till it was sold. Monica went above and beyond of what a typical agent would do (we’ve worked with others before so I’m not just saying it). She was in constant contact with us and always available for questions etc. Even our attorney mentioned how great Monica is. We’d definitely use her in the future again. I highly recommend contacting Monica for a fabulous experience!

"Monica is an absolute star of a realtor

"Monica is an absolute star of a realtor. As sellers, she knocked it out of the park in every aspect of the engagement. She a true professional with a keen sense of the market & valuations, and more importantly an overall fun person to partner with on such an overwhelming endeavor. She genuinely believed in the potential of our house and developed & executed a thorough plan to achieve top offers. Selecting her to assist us was the best decision we could have made!"

"Monica was amazing to work with. She asked all the right questions and had all the answers. Working with her was like working with a family member. You can tell when someone genuinely cares about you and enjoys the work they do. Monica is that person. She will always be my realtor and I will recommend her to all my family and friends."
