The best agent you'll ever have!
I worked with Monique to purchase a house contingent on the sale of my first house. I'm not sure I'll be able to properly express my gratitude to Monique, but I'll do my best.
House buying terrified me, but Monique kept me grounded, and taught/told me everything I needed to know. Once my first house was under contract, the whirlwind of buying a second one began. She was always avaliable by phone, and always got back to me quickly. She worked so hard for me, and I'm still a bit shell shocked it all happened so easily. I'll list some of the most important aspects that really stood out to me, and that I think are really important for a person looking for a realtor.
First, Monique is incredibly knowledgeable, even about the money parts that she doesn't necessarily need to know (as that's the lenders part). Even if she doesn't know, she knows someone who does.
Second, Monique is honest and realistic. If she tours a house with you, and spots red flags, she's going to upfront tell you, and make a recommendation. I toured a house I really liked, and the we got to the room for the washer/dryer. The floor was incredibly pitched. Monique immediately pointed out it probably had a foundation issue, and gave me the full run down of why purchasing it would be a horrible idea. If theres a question about an aspect of the house, she's immediately on the phone to get an answer. During the purchase of the house I'm in now, she was upfront about what was a must for the sellers to fix, and what was just a petty thing not worth fighting.
Third, Monique will go to bat for you. She'll negotiate with the sellers, and so long as you have expressed your parameters with her, she will push to get them for you.
Fourth is again the knowledge - I'm pretty sure Monique knows everyone. If I needed a home inspector, she had a list. If I needed an expert in anything, she had the people for it.
I trusted Monique with basically every single aspect, and I couldn't be happier. She's just the best!
