Monique Brown

We just closed yesterday on a home in which we were represented as the buyer by Monique Brown -- our first home, at age 24, in Cambria, 3 blocks from the beach. We saw it while at an estate sale across the street, told Monique, a friend of Sean's mother, and she literally took it and ran. We made an offer within a week. Sadly, we were out-bid with an offer substantially over asking price. We thought were done. We were prepared to move on. But she didn't quite see it that way. She was like a dog with a bone. She was not going to give up. We still don't know how, but she convinced the seller we were more worthy, and our offer was accepted, even though it was less than the next offer. Then she went to Cambria from Laguna Beach, where her office is located, after arranging meetings with architects, contractors, and termite experts, upon which information she then went back to the seller and negotiated nearly another 3% reduction in price. And then we closed in 30 days. Neither of us with any credit history. And we got a mortgage rate at a competitive rate. The lending agent, Ciresica Lasc, referred by Monique, really came through, when others said we would not qualify. Monique even got us connected with a State Farm agent (Scott Lord) through which we got an amazing price not just on the homeowner's policy, but our auto policy too -- reducing our monthly auto insurance payments! This was all Monique. She worked every day on our case. We were absolutely floored at how aggressive, determined, and effective she was at getting us something we never thought we could get. She's our realtor forever. Every day we live in our new, cozy Cambria cottage 3 blocks from the ocean, we will think of, and be grateful for our dear friend, and fantastic agent, Monique Brown. Monique – you ROCK!
