About Monica

I have been an active REALTOR© in the Savannah, Georgia market for 20 years. I work with buyers and sellers as well as investors. In 2021, I was named the REALTOR® of the Year by the Georgia Area Realtors® Association. In 2020 I started working with an investor who is buying homes to rehab to make them appealing to today's buyer. I have really enjoyed having some design input and then staging the properties to help bring them to life so prospective buyers can see themselves living there. That work has also helped when I work with home sellers. Making the right decisions before listing a home can mean a tremendous difference in pricing, ultimate sales price, days on market and even appraisal. And while we have been in a market that has been making it easier for sellers, things are starting to shift. Rising interest rates along with double digit pricing increases have made home prices high for the payment conscious buyer. That being said, a home that has on trend colors or features, good curb appeal and a good floorplan is still selling quickly and sometimes for more than asking. However, to make that happen requires a REALTOR© who is watching trends, both aesthetic and financial. The days of selling a home quickly with poor photography or no photography, and no preparation in the days leading up to showings has ended. This doesn't mean that a Seller is going to have to spend a lot of money to sell their home. It means that doing something as simple as having the home thoroughly cleaned and refreshing the landscaping can make a difference. And with higher interest rates meaning that Buyers are having to rethink their monthly budgets, a home that won't cost them money as soon as they are the owners is really valuable. Spending some time evaluating what will bring the most money by doing some minor refreshing is invaluable. And for the frazzled Buyers who have placed many offers over asking price and had to waive their inspections and appraisals? Those days are over. The only place I am not seeing this is in a very hot area where there is nothing for sale. Even then, however, the amount of money Buyers are having to pay beyond the asking price is starting to lower or disappear completely. If you have questions about your particular situation, please feel free to reach out to me. When I am not helping my clients, I volunteer with my REALTOR© organization. And when its time for Me time, I love to travel with my Husband, spend time with Grandkids and friends, play with my fur babies and play in the garden.

Buying and Selling Our Home

Working with Monica was an amazing experience! She went above and beyond to help us not only find a house we love, but also sell our home quickly. She was always available to answer questions, explain options, and advocate for us. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made a huge difference. Highly, highly recommend!

Best I have ever worked with

Monica basically put this deal together and managed it to completion with a hesitant buyer and seller. She took care of issues while we were in AK for two months. House was never on market, she put the deal together.

So helpful!

We loved working with Monica! She was very accessible all the time through text or phone to answer questions and provide suggestions. Communication is so important with this stressful process, and Monica was fantastic. We have bought and sold several houses, but we continued to learn so much from Monica with her strong experience and vast knowledge. So confident to recommend Monica!

Monica's knowledge, dedication, and communication are unparalleled. Without her we 100% would have never gotten this deal done.

Professional And Caring

Monica was a caring and professional realator with helping sell our property. Living in another country, Monica was able to navigate these difficulties of preparing a house that had not been lived in for several months and had need of several maintenance services with ease. Monica also was able to help coordinate the selling of furniture and donations for what was left in the house.

Terrific from start to finish

Monica was incredible to work with, and we could not have imagined a better home-buying experience. She possess a deep expertise covering all aspects of the home-buying process, and offers a wealth of knowledge on the broader Savannah market. We were extremely impressed with Monica’s attention to detail, effective communication style, and quick turn-around timelines. She surpassed all of our expectations, and would highly recommend.
