About Monica

Finding the right home is deeply personal and Monica aims to make the process both enjoyable and as stress-free as possible. With years of experience and a knack for creative problem-solving, she guides her buyer clients, offering insights on resale value or remodeling ideas to maximize potential. On the flip side, she loves working with sellers to stage their homes and strategize, ensuring they walk away with top dollar and the terms that matter most.

Monica has been a trusted real estate professional in the Chicago area for 25 years. Clients know her as knowledgeable, persistent, and supportive—someone who communicates clearly and always has their best interests at heart. She holds respected designations including PSA (Pricing Strategy Advisor), ABR (Accredited Buyer’s Representative), SRES (Senior Real Estate Specialist), and CNE (Certified Negotiation Expert). Recognized as a Five-Star Real Estate Agent from 2019 to 2024, Monica is also actively involved in her industry, serving on the board of the Oak Park Area Association of Realtors.

Originally from Southern California, Monica has called Oak Park home since 2004 and specializes in Oak Park, River Forest, and Forest Park. Married for 28 years, she enjoys time with family and friends, learning pottery, perfecting her pickleball game, and—most recently—taking up golf (and loving it, even if she’s not great yet!).

Beyond real estate, Monica supports Sarah’s Inn, advocating for families affected by domestic violence.

I loved working with Anne Elyse to purchase my new condo! She encouraged me to see a variety of units initially so we could both feel clear on what I was looking for and that definitely helped me find exactly the right place. Anne Elyse provided a lot of resources during the process and everything went so smoothly - it was a truly great experience. I was also able to meet Monica during my inspection and she is a wealth of Oak Park real estate knowledge. This was the most low-stress house buying experience I've had so far and I owe that to Anne Elyse. I hope to never move again, but, if I do, Anne Elyse will be my first call!

Monica was extremely helpful and accommodating in the whole process from finding the property to negotiations and dealing with the many hiccups that arose throughout this process. I could not recommend anyone better. A True Professional!

Monica and Anne Elyse are great! Fierce advocates for their clients, great communication, and always working from a spirit of solutions. Highly recommended for city or Oak Park/River Forest.
