With a proven track record of selling thousands of homes, Monique demonstrates her expertise across all aspects of real estate, including bank-owned properties, showcasing her profound understanding of market dynamics. Her certification as a HUD instructor and strategic partnership with Chase Bank further solidify her position as a leader in the field.
Remaining a perpetual student in the ever-evolving real estate market, Monique has achieved multiple accreditations, including Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®), Seller Representative Specialist (SRS), Luxury Homes Certification (LHC), Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE), and Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource (SFR®).
