“Monica went above and beyond. There were many challenges with my building and she weathered the storm. We ended up selling for the price that I wanted cash buyer. Grateful.”

“I have known Monica since I was young, I was looking to be buying a house and I knew right away who was going to be my realtor. Monica was so great on finding us a perfect first home for us. We found our home in under 2 weeks of looking, she was always sending us all of our paperwork to sign ahead of time and always informed us when it was due and what it meant to what we were signing. She never let us down and did everything she was possibly able to do to make sure we got into the house we wanted. She is the perfect realtor and a perfect friend! We love Monica and everything she has done for us! Thank you!”

“Monica was a HUGE help for my boyfriend and I. We were looking to buy our first house and she made our dream come true! She answered all of our questions in a timely manner, gave us updates each week of what was going to be going on and guided us the whole way through.”

“Just finished selling our home in Atwater with Monica's help. Her knowledge of the real estate market locally, and grasp of all the technical aspects of the process was invaluable. This was especially true since the buyer of our house needed to sell their house first, but Monica managed both sales smoothly. She is also a very good communicator and I would recommend her services to anyone.”

“Monica is absolutely AMAZING!! 5 stars. If there was an option for 6 stars I'd give her that. Can't say enough of how grateful I am!”

“I recently had the chance to work with Monica Franks to purchase my first home in Merced. I have to say, it was a very relieving experience for me to have her guide me through the process. I knew that purchasing a home could be a stressful and confusing process, but Monica made it very easy to follow. Monica knows the Merced and Atwater markets inside out, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients. She was quick to answer my questions and gave me honest advice at every step. If you're searching for a realtor in Merced County who combines experience with real dedication, I'd definitely recommend Monica Franks.”

“Amazing agent!!! After originally listing my home with Monica in 2021, I had to remove it from the market due to extenuating circumstances during my divorce. Monica put so much time and effort during that time that went unrequited. We had multiple offers and lost buyers due to my soon to be ex-husband's reluctance to sell. Again in 2023, after obtaining a court order, Monica re-listed the home without hesitation. I felt it was only right that she be the first one offered to list the home after all of her previous efforts. Finally, after much difficulty again with the sale of the home during the divorce proceedings and with an unreasonable ex-husband, Monica persevered and was able to get the sale finalized and escrow closed in early 2024. The sale of my home was no ordinary feat, I believe we were in escrow a record number of times and lost buyer after buyer. Monica went above and beyond in so many ways. There are no words that can adequately describe what an amazing job Monica did!!”

“Monica is amazing, responsive & great @ her job. She's always available & if not her response time is quick. She was able to give great referrals on handling work at the home we sold. She was honest & due to her exceptional attention to detail the transaction was smooth & timely. Based on her advice & recommendation regarding what needed to be done on the house, once it was listed it sold in a day. With regard to the purchase of another property for a family member she went above & beyond, meeting the client to get documents signed, taking him to the bank & even helping him with getting boxes for packing as well as helping in many other kind ways. Her negotiation skills were top notch & she was able to help him get into a home that he could afford. She's really friendly and helpful and I would not hesitate to recommend her to everybody.”

“Working with Monica to sell my home was an outstanding experience. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. She kept me informed throughout the entire process and made sure I understood every step and was always a phone call away when I needed her. What stood out was her strategy... thanks to her pricing and marketing approach, we received a nice offer. Selling a home can be stressful, but she made sure everything went smoothly and on time with less stress for me. She even added some of her personal touches to stage my home. I truly appreciated her dedication and attention to detail, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell/buy a home.”

“Monica Was Exceptional... Highly Recommend! We are so grateful to have had Monica as our realtor when selling our home. From start to finish, she made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Her expertise in the local market was evident, and she provided excellent advice on preparing and pricing our home to attract the right buyers. Monica's attention to detail and her commitment to showcasing our home at its best really stood out. Thanks to her marketing efforts, we had an offer in no time. Throughout the negotiation process, Monica was a strong advocate for us, ensuring we got the best possible outcome. She kept us informed every step of the way, always answering our questions promptly and thoroughly. Selling a home can be daunting, but Monica's professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care made all the difference. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home!”

“Monica is the best. I wanted to move, decided not to and waited a year before I sold. She showed lots of properties and when I put off the sale of my home... she was ready to pick up where we left off! She just sold my home in Merced and the buyers were a bit... difficult. She never lost her patience (unlike me) and worked to make the sale seamless and as easy as possible. Her pricing was spot on, her sense of humor is wonderful and her attention to detail is amazing. I would use Monica again if given the chance. I referred her to a friend who had the exact same experience I did! Please use Monica for all your real estate needs.”

“It's hard not to sound biased, but Monica is the BEST! One thing you'll want most is a realtor who truly listens... Monica takes the time to understand exactly what you want and helps you find it. Most say purchasing a home is one of life's biggest stressors... well, with Monica, she made it easy! Trust Monica. She knows the industry inside and out, and she genuinely cares about her mission and purpose here. Wishing all future first time home buyers a process like mine. So call Monica. #welcomehome”

About a year ago, Monica responded to an email I sent to inquire about market values in the area. She then proceeded to keep me abreast of the market until she thought my property hit the market value I was looking for. She then in a very kind manner worked with the tenants and listed my home and it sold the first day for more than the asking price. She helped me navigate the paperwork all over the internet, as I live out of town. I cannot stress how wonderful Monica was to work with. We are truly appreciative.”
