FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
To contact a FULL TIME BUYER'S AGENT with a solid track record and avoid choosing somebody that sells hundreds of homes per year because you won't get the personalized attention you need.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
To contact an experienced LISTING AGENT to discuss LOCATION, CONDITION, RE-CONDITIONING, MARKETING AND PRICING of your property.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
1st time home buyers, vacation home buyers, retirees moving to Florida, upsizing buyers, downsizing buyers, luxury buyers, short sales, foreclosures, investors.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
Helping a 72 year old retired teacher buy her first home. It was nerve wrecking for her, but we listened, we provide sound advise, she trusted us and bought her condo. Another one... helping a 76 year old military veteran, living in a half way house, purchase his first home in Port Charlotte back in 2019 and today he has over $200K in equity.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
After going through our own home purchasing process back in 1999, we fell in love with the idea of helping others with the entire process of either purchasing a 1st home or selling and purchasing another one.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
We are always involved in continuing education, attending seminars with government officials, law firms, title companies, in order to keep abreast of the latest changes and real estate practice. Doesn't do any good to have several 20 year old real estate certifications and be totally misinformed of current real estate matters.

We want to greatly thank Monica Garcia at Medway Realty for all her help and guidance during our search for a new home in Florida. Words cant describe all the time and patience she has spent with us; viewing homes on our behalf with detailed feedback and photos of homes that interested us. Even when we finally chose our new home, Monica endlessly continued to advise us and guide us though the process of the inspections, closing and all the miscellaneous things that you really dont think of at the time. Thank you again!!

Monica was amazing to work with. We gave her what we were looking for in a condo and she found it for us even being a thousand miles away. She has always been extremely helpful in our search and even has continued to help us as we move in. She is extremely knowledgeable and will find anyone a quality home. I strongly strongly recommend Monica! You will not be disappointed in the work she puts in for you! She is truly on your side when it comes to buying a home. We will definitely use her again! Thanks Monica!!

As a first time home buyer Monica was an incredible source of knowledge and information about everything necessary not just to buy a house but owning oneaEUR| I cant imagine anyones level of professionalism being any greater or higher than she is... Her experience is obvious the people she works with/recommended were also at the highest level of integrity...

Above and Beyond. I am a first time home buyer and not knowing what the process would be, Monica guided me. Monica took the time to explain everything. She payed close attention to the type of homes I like and found the perfect house in an area I didn't even think about looking. Monica went above and beyond, negotiating the best deal possible, making sure the home was in tip top condition and with her knowledge, experience and friendly demeanor my confidence grew and I trusted her completely till closing. Now I am a home owner, and even though the process is over, Monica still makes herself readily available for any questions I may have. A true professional. It has been a pleasure working with Monica and will recommend her to any home buyer.

Monica saved the day many times over during our buying process. She helped us find the right house for us, even when we didn't know what the right house was! She brought many different options for us to look at. She was always willing to show properties anytime, even on short notice. We live in a different state, so we needed her expertise in the area, and for the walk thrus, and for the closing. She handled any issues we had with the sellers, who happened to be builders, so we didn't get overly stressed. In Florida, definitely have a buyers agent, and definitely Monica!!!!
