Monica Dalton was an extraordinary realtor for my family. Monica sold two of our properties - a condo in Chinatown in Chicago, a house in Humboldt Park, and helped us through the buying of our new home in Oak Park which we just love. Throughout our time together Monica was uber professional, knowledgeable, and personable. I highly recommend her.
My husband and I lucked into finding Monica at an open house. We were first time buyers and having trouble finding the right house and the right location for us. We started looking in March of 2015 and found our home that summer. Monica guided our process every step of the way. She was respectful of our budget, has a deep knowledge about the area she serves, helped us prioritize, gave us the confidence to enter into multiple offer situations and helped us view hot properties immediately when they reached market. Without her help, we wouldn't have found the perfect home for us. And she didn't stop when we found the house, she was knowledgeable guiding us through closing. She treats every client like a new neighbor and when I called her a year after closing about a maintenance issue, she responded within minutes with helpful contacts. She even helped pick the paint colors in my whole house! If you are looking in this area, you couldn't ask for a better agent than Monica Dalton.
When initially we began our search for a home we had not decided on a realtor. We received a phone call from Monica and met with her; we instantly knew that Monica was the right person to lead us in purchasing a home. Monica is extremely knowledgeable and has a great personality. I would recommend Monica and the Weichert Realtors Nickel Group to anyone seeking to purchase/sell a home. Thank you Monica and Weichert for making this a very pleasant buying experience.
I have had to buy/sell over 10 properties in my life, including? ?Los Angeles, Phoenix, and now IL? and have never been as fortunate as working with Monica. ?She was very clear about ?understanding ?what we needed and never? ?asked me to come to Oak Park before making sure a unit fit our basic? ?needs. ?She is patient and obliging, willing to go out of her way to help? ?when I was having trouble dealing with any outside vendor.? I? have never considered myself as lucky as? ?working with Monica?. ?Additionally?,? she gave me a lot of information about Oak Park? I?? ?couldn't have known without her guidance. She was patient, helpful, and always? ?on top of anything new that came on the market during our search.
Monica helped us find our new home that we are very happy with. We were moving from the city, and weren't too familiar with the neighborhood. She showed us a variety of places that helped us decide what we really wanted. She is friendly, honest, and knowledgeable. Always available to talk and to meet up to view a home.
After an extensive on-line search, I reached out to Monica because at first I was impressed by her genuine smile. We scheduled a meeting and became instant friends. I immediately knew and felt she would be my agent, and that she would always sincerely look out for my best interests. As a person who is prone to "nerves", especially when considering a major purchase, I embarked on this process with a hefty amount of fear and trepidation. Monica provided the perfect, calming fit I so desperately needed. On a daily basis, she sent listings which met my buying preferences. We then had such fun looking at properties, and she always took time to discuss the pros and cons of each home with me. I never felt pressured to buy; Monica was consistently professional, so very helpful, extremely empathic, and never abrasive, pushy, or condescending. When things got serious, and as we moved toward purchase, Monica walked me through the mysterious process every step of the way. Her expert training in the field resulted in an amazing ability to answer all questions, and if she couldn't, she would get an answer from a fellow professional immediately. Monica went above and beyond her duties on several occasions: contacted my banker with specific questions, helped with moving concerns and logistics, attended the closing, bought pizza for my volunteer movers, and hired a handyman at her expense to go through the house and fix things. She even attended a performance of a musical I was directing! Of great importance, her follow-up has been so impressive. Weeks after closing, she frequently checks in…"how is home ownership", or "do you have any questions or concerns", etc. I know and appreciate that she is still there for me. In fact, she has become a veritable spiritual and personal counselor, in addition to being a treasured friend and confidant. I cannot recommend Monica Dalton highly enough. Future clients will absolutely love working with her.
Monica was a great representative for us in the purchase of our home. She clearly knows Oak Park, is great at being transparent about the pros and cons of each challenge in the buying process. She has many professional contacts that we leveraged on multiple occasions in the process of purchasing our home. Monica is knowledgeable, trustworthy and I'd recommend her to anyone that might be considering a purchase or sale.
What a pleasure it is working with Monica Dalton. I recently purchased a home in Berwyn, an area I was not familiar with and thanks to Monica's guidance I was able to find a home at a great value in a safe neighborhood close to many wonderful amenities. Monica was so patient in showing me many many homes and was able to speak to the characteristics of the neighborhoods in which I was looking since she lives in Oak Park herself. When it came time to negotiate, Monica was very knowledgeable and able to guide me through the process and make decisions with confidence. She's a fabulous resource and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you, Monica!
Monica Dalton is the realtor you want to sell your home. My husband and I lived in our Oak Park home 47 years and decided to downsize. Monica took on the monumental task of advising us on renovations and redecoration. She was tactful and knowledgeable about what buyers expect and helped us to ready our home for sale. Really, there was nothing that Monica did not do, from producing a gorgeous brochure to holding multiple open houses and agent open houses. Oh, and she lent us her porch furniture and perfect sheer drapes. When the house initially went unsold, she held a focus group with other realtors to determine why. Monica always reassured us that the house would sell and indeed it did. If you are lucky enough to have Monica Dalton as your realtor, you have made the right choice! CarolJean and Phil Kier
My husband and I had competing ideas about what we wanted in our first home, and Monica took the time to really splice out our must have list. After spending months searching with us, she found us the perfect home in Park Ridge. Thank you Monica for all your hard work!
I've worked with Monica on 2 moves in the last few years, and she is by far the most engaged agent I have encountered. She takes the time to discuss wants and needs as well as budgets. She's very intuitive and helped me to see the bigger picture of less than perfect properties. I travel frequently for work, and Monica spent some time scouting properties and sending me videos while I was on the road, which was a huge time saver. She is a highly effective negotiator, and she's versed in local ordinances, ensuring that I was protected with the right contracts. I'm happy in my new home and love my neighbors and the location. I owe some of this state of Zen to Monica. Although I dislike moving immensely, she makes the experience tolerable. I thoroughly enjoy working with her and I know you will too.
Monica has been our realtor for 7 years. Our first time working with her we were coming to Chicago from London and had just 2 days to find a place. Monica went above and beyond and took us on a marathon viewing spree. We ended up with an amazing condo! We have used Monica's services for purchase and rental. She knows the area like the back of her hand. She is very familiar with the neighborhoods, schools and businesses in the Oak Park/Forest Park/River Forest area. What I love most about working with Monica is that she is fun and easy to work with! She genuinely cares about your needs as a client. I have recommended her to family and friends, and will continue to recommend her to anyone looking for a property in the Oak Park area.
