ABOUT MONIKA
Monika stands by the statement by Jay Danze – “Your smile is your logo, your personality is your business card and how you leave others feeling after an experience with you becomes your trademark.”
Monika has raised her family in Auckland and has in-depth knowledge about residential real estate in the wider area. With many successful sales results and very happy clients throughout Manukau and the greater Auckland region, you can rest assured that you are in the best possible hands!
Homeowners become clients, then become friends “We feel that Monika genuinely cares and is absolutely trustworthy. She will not sugarcoat or dangle empty promises in order to just get a sale but will make sure that our goals always come first. It helps that she’s the foremost specialist in the area and we’ve sold 2 properties through her but her greatest attribute is her sincerity” – Hector & Gina
“Everyone has a different goal – it could be anything from achieving financial freedom to retire or finding somewhere bigger for a growing family. Everybody deserves a premium result and premium service. I always remind people that it is the process that gets you to that premium result – NOT the promise of price.”
Homeowners trust her expertise in all areas when they are considering selling their home, which can be a challenging process – especially when they are parting with what is often their largest asset. She strongly believes her role is to provide solutions to help people achieve the hopes and dreams that they will realise once their home is sold. Buyers love her honesty and willingness to help them through all that is required to buy in today’s market.
Over the past years, Monika has been awarded many accolades including No. 1 Salesperson AT Realty Group, Chairman’s Elite, Elite Performer, No.1 Salesperson 2 years in a row with a previous brand and has sold over $440 Million Dollars worth of property, however, it is the happiness she sees when helping to achieve her client’s goals that drives her.
