"We have been in search of a realtor who is also a broker to represent our family home in San Marino. We interviewed a few candidates and meeting her felt like the right fit. She proposed a few remodeling ideas to aid in a speedy sale. She initiated collaboration with our family contractor and truly assisted us in presenting our home with a modernized appearance. We have received multiple offers and sold our home for $562,000 above the asking price, far surpassing the cost of the renovations. I am incredibly impressed by her eagerness to help our family obtain the highest possible sale price. Furthermore, she is extremely easy to work with and has a down-to-earth personality. This was a trust sale, and our family members are thrilled with the success of the transaction." - Daniel L.

"My family just completed probably the most important real estate transaction of our lives, the sale of a large estate in Pasadena, CA. From our very first meeting to the close of escrow, Monica displayed the highest degree of professionalism, always offering sound advice about improving our property yet also showing us her delight and love for the home we occupied for over forty years. Monica is keenly abreast of the real estate market and always available to answer questions and provide useful information both as we prepared to list and also during the escrow process.
I won't bore readers with the myriad ways in which Monica went the extra mile in guiding us through such an important and sometimes emotional experience but suffice it to say she is willing to work round the clock to best serve her clients' needs. Monica is smart, industrious, encouraging, funny, savvy kind and most importantly, your biggest advocate.
How many people can say that they are actually SAD when escrow closes? While I am so happy that she helped us sell our beautiful home to a lovely, deserving family, I am truly sorry that I won't be talking to her as much as we had these last few months! In sum, Monica is the ultimate pro and a joy to work with." - Amy B.

"We worked with many real estate agents and by far Monica is my trusted go-to person for almost any advice relating to real estate, whether is buying, selling and for investment. She is very knowledgeable about the market and often has good intuitions that you would find valuable. She has a keen eye, understands the buyer/seller's perspectives and negotiation style that is a win win for all. She also comes with good network of useful contacts! I would highly recommend Monica for her amazing skills and services!" - Stacy J.

"My wife selected Monica based existing Yelp reviews of her services. I selected another Realtor based on another website. Fast forward four months, Monica listed our home, got us an offer over $50,000 above asking before we even had our first open house, helped us navigate through escrow period, and sold our house. Our home sold for $178,000 above what the other realtor suggested that I list my home at. For sake of comparison, my home sold for less than $900,000. That is right, $178,000 more than the suggested listing price of the other realtor on a home that sold for less than $900,000. In addition to having a keen understanding of our neighborhood, Monica is extremely pleasant to speak with, easily accessible, knowledgeable, has a great support team, and is extremely professional. Time and time again, she went above and beyond what my highest expectations of her to help us during our escrow period.
My parting advice is to listen to Monica's suggestions. If she suggests that you spend a little money to fix minor issues, listen to her. If you have any doubt about giving her a call, just re-read my first paragraph." - William L.

About Monica

I became a Real Estate Broker and as an independent residential and commercial real estate broker in 2010 specializing in properties in the San Gabriel Valley, where I call home. A few neighborhoods that I have serviced in the past decade include: Pasadena, La Cañada Flintridge, San Marino, Arcadia, and South Pasadena. Since 2012, I have consistently been a Top Producing agent at my brokerage.
I owe part of my success as a Realtor® to my ability to speak and read Mandarin, many of my clients are Chinese nationals, abroad and locally. As a longtime resident of the San Gabriel Valley, I am able to share my intimate knowledge of the communities in the area. Everything from private and public school systems to local amenities, I use in my approach in finding the perfect home for my clients. Many of my most successful transactions have begun with long distance communications with prospective buyers or sellers; and due to my knowledge of the minutiae of Real Estate transactions, I have been able to close many sales without having owners or buyers present.

I always bring to my clients the ability to present their property in the best possible way by leveraging home staging, great photography, excellent copywriting, and an in-house Marketing Department to provide support. For those selling a property, I provide simple ideas and concepts on improvements that could bring more value to the property and identify staging options to maximize their interior space and design, as well as landscaping options to create more curb appeal for the exteriors of the home. I identify a pool of prospective buyers and use my marketing strategy to fit the needs of my clients.
By taking the time to get to know the needs and wants of my clients, I always keep their needs and tastes in mind. This approach has proven successful in representing clients at all income levels. I genuinely enjoy working with people and am able to build rapport easily by being a good listener and valuing their individual needs. I am successful at contract negotiation, mediating conflict, and have always come highly-recommended by those who I have worked with.
