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!!

There are not enough stars in rhe sky to describe the job that Monica Garcia does for her clients. She worked day and night to find us the perfect home. From setting up appointments to giving knowledge of the area and learning what we wanted and finding that home. Her demeanor was calm and understanding she kept us on track. Monica went through the walkthrough and found many things that we saw. Finally the night before closing she got the closing moved up to accommodate our movers. who came a day early. Anyone who is lucky enough to have Monica as their agent. Will never be disappointed.
