Meet Monica

From an early age, I was drawn to the idea of "home" - a safe space, an anchor, a place of your own. Daughter of an immigrant mother and veteran father, I grew up moving every couple of years to another apartment and soon recognized the generational impact homeownership makes. Now a Bay Area homeowner and Realtor, I have the great honor of helping people reach their real estate goals, whether you are a first-time home buyer or homeowner looking to sell your home with pride.

Anyone can analyze market data, but what can make or break a real estate transaction in the competitive Bay Area market is strong relationships, effective communication, and being ultra-proactive. With nearly a decade-long career in tech as a program manager and account executive, I bring this valuable set of skills to real estate. Being a connector and problem solver is in my nature, allowing me to effectively guide sellers and buyers through the real estate process, keeping their wants and needs a priority. Combined with meticulous attention to detail, a passion for homes, and the highest client service standards, I am ready to help you make your next move.

In my free time, you’ll find me working on the latest DIY home project with my husband, breaking a sweat at F45, cuddling my sweet little dog, and dining out at local restaurants with friends and family.

    “We had the pleasure of working with Monica to purchase our home in Almaden Valley, San Jose, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the beginning, she provided timely updates from the seller, guided us through each step of the process, and offered fantastic recommendations for vendors and insights into the neighborhood. She was always patient, responsive, and genuinely cared about finding the right home for us. To top it off, she gave us thoughtful gifts at closing and has continued to keep in touch, which we truly appreciate. Her dedication goes beyond the transaction, making her not just a realtor but someone who genuinely cares for her clients. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!”

She really understood what we were looking for in our new home and put in the extra effort to show us listings that matched our budget and requirements. She was very proactive, went through all the disclosures in detail with us and stayed in touch during the entire process. She also went the extra mile to get us contractor contacts as well as getting the house cleaned to make sure everything was as smooth as possible for our move in.
