About Monica
My career is rooted in service, leadership, and accountability. Before real estate, I served in the United States Air Force, and that experience continues to shape how I advocate for my clients today — with integrity, clear communication, and disciplined strategy.
As a veteran-owned real estate broker in Salinas, I specialize in helping military families, veterans, and first-time home buyers navigate the home buying and selling process with confidence. I understand the unique needs of VA buyers, relocations, and long-term planning, and I take a hands-on approach to every transaction.
In addition to being a licensed real estate broker, I also hold mortgage lending credentials, giving my clients a well-rounded perspective on both real estate and financing. This dual expertise allows me to anticipate challenges, explain options clearly, and help ensure a smoother path from contract to closing.
Whether you’re buying your first home, using a VA loan, selling a property, or planning your next move, my goal is simple: to protect your interests and help you make confident, informed decisions.

Monica is an excellent and professional realtor. She listens to what I wanted for my new home and found me a beautiful house that was just perfect.
You can’t go wrong having Monica on your side!

I can't say enough good things about Monica! She was wonderful to work with, always patient and responsive to our many questions. She is very professional and courteous, and really knows her business and the market. Monica had a buyer for our home almost immediately. We signed the listing agreement on a Friday, and had photos taken on Monday. The first showing was on Tuesday, and by the end of the day we had an offer over our asking price. Monica is by far the best realtor I've ever worked with. She knows how to deliver!

Monica was great! As first time buyer she made this headache process so smooth for me. Moving from Brooklyn, NY to California was a very big move and she handled it very well. We stayed in touch during the whole process and every detail and changes she updated me. Highly recommend her! 👍
