Monica Walsh did a supurb job on the sale of my home. She priced it properly in a declining market and as a result, my home was under contract in three weeks. Because it was a short sale, she managed the transaction with great skill and was a strong advocate on my behalf and facilitated the process and parties to a successful close. I would strongly recommend Monica to handle your real estate transaction.

Monica helped us short sell our property in Chicago. From day one, Monica was nothing but helpful. She answered every query and catered to our every need. We were living out of state as well as pregnant with our first child and Monica managed this situation impeccably - always aware of our geographical limitations. We had a complicated situation and Monica was able to make things real simple, no problem was beyond solving. She was always upbeat, knowledgeable and willing to help. The lawyer that she recommended was excellent and incredibly responsive, while informative to our questions. We firmly believe that without her professional and personal skills that our deal would not have gone through and we would not have been able to move on with our lives.

A very heartfelt thank you to Monica Walsh, my short sale realtor.
Before I found her, I had gone through at least three other agents who
were not at all familiar with short sale processes and all but gave up
or stopped returning my phone calls. I was on the brink of
foreclosure and advised to file for bankruptcy, when I found Monica.
She was wonderful, pleasant, and kept my energy up even though the
banks were giving us a horrible time with an inflated BPO amongst
other problems. At one point, we even lost a buyer because the bank
was taking so long, but Monica did not give up! After 8 long months,
the property is in the hands of a more capable family and I can
breathe better at night. I urge anyone who is in a negative equity
situation to consider a short sale expert for help and Monica is the
BEST!

Thank you Monica. I still can't believe you were able to get the place sold in 4 months. Very nice job. The agent that represents you in a Short Sale plays a huge role in whether you sell your home, and choosing to go with Monica and her team was the best decision I could have made. I live out of state and had been losing money every month on my home in the Chicago suburbs. I had long thought about doing a Short Sale but I assumed it was a gamble that, even if successful, would likely take more than a year to complete. I approached Monica to get her thoughts about doing the Short Sale and in talking with her I found that she was by far the most knowledgeable and responsive of the many agents with whom I spoke. She understood the market and was able to give clear, honest and realistic answers to my questions about what I could expect. Once I decided to do the Short Sale, we had to get the approval of two difficult banks and the homeowners' association but Monica did a masterful job of overseeing the process from beginning to end and bringing it to close within four months of putting the home on the market. She clearly understood the local real estate market and the process and was able to anticipate problems before they arose. She and her team handled all negotiations on my behalf and kept me updated on a regular basis. On multiple occasions I thought we had come to an impasse that would kill the deal but Monica never accepted defeat and always found a solution that kept things moving forward. I hear horror stories from others about their Short Sale failures and I still can't believe we were able to sell the house so quickly -- but the difference between my experience and theirs was that I had Monica and her team representing me. Based on the results she gets, I would recommend Monica to anyone that is thinking about buying or selling a home. She is an expert professional who is unmatched in getting positive results for her clients,

Monica was friendly, no pressure, always available, honest, good communication skills, knowledgeable, helpful and sympathetic with my short sale. Initially I thought that going with a short sale was going to be difficult, but Monica made it so easy. She was beyond wonderful.

My husband and I were first time homebuyers and a family member referred us to Monica Walsh. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is very reliable, always on time and extremely knowledgeable. Since she is also an experienced appraiser she's able to tell you whether a property is worth the price or not, how much work is needed, etc. Monica was with us every step from beginning to end. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an honest agent, which I hear can be very hard to find!

Monica Walsh assisted me with the sale of my house in Chicago. I no longer live in the area but had a typical single family home on the North Side that I needed to sell. Her attention to detail was especially appreciated not only in these times of sparse sales opportunities but also because I could not be on hand to do much myself. She and her associates handled all aspects of the sale and I was very pleased with both the results and the amount realized.

Monica helped me with my Short Sale. I purchased the property in Chicago a few years ago and we were way under water on our mortgage. The bank tried to do a loan modification for me, but it didn't help me at all because they weren't lowering my principal and it was only a temporary fix. I was nervous about doing a Short Sale but Monica walked me through it from beginning to end and got me out of a terrible stressful situation. She was always available for me and was extremely attentive and honest. I would highly recommend her to anyone thinking about doing a short sale. She will be your advocate.

Thanks Monica. I can't believe you saved me from this nightmare. I was close to foreclosure when I found you to help me with my Short Sale. I never could believe that the bank would forgive my debt, but they did. My friend Greg was right when he referred me to you.
