View All ListingsI worked with Grace at the end of last year into the beginning of this year; she was amazing from start to finish. My home buying process was less than ideal to say the least (unrelated to Grace or anyone at Compass) and Grace did everything she could to help along the way. Grace advocated for me and helped make my dream of being a homeowner come true. She was very thorough and detailed in explaining the process to me as I was a first time homebuyer. Grace regularly checked in and made sure to answer any questions that came up for me. I would recommend Grace to anyone looking to buy a home in the DMV.
Grace Chicca was extremely professional, helpful, insightful, respectful, caring, cheerful, and encouraging from start to finish. We definitely couldn't have tackled the process without her. She is a joy and pleasure to work with and the very best at what she does. Highly recommend her to everyone and anyone in the area! You won't be disappointed! ????
Grace was exceptional throughout our whole process. As first time homebuyers, we were lost as to what we needed to do, steps to follow, or the financials of owning a home. Grace took the time, care, and compassion to walk is through each step, answer any question we had, and provide resources and referrals when necessary. She was with us from the beginning to be end and kept constant, consistent, and quick communication with us. She truly got to know is and our daughter who continually speaks about her in such a positive light. While our process became tense and unknown at times, Grace was there to provide that calm and reassuring aura. We cannot recommend working with Grace enough. We hit the jackpot working with her for our first home and will continue to use her services in the future. You will not be disappointed in working with Grace.
The sale of my home was seamless, thanks to my realtor, Grace Chicca. She gave me excellent advice in order for me to prepare my home before putting it on the market, and she also made all of the necessary arrangements and worked with the contractors to get the repairs and updates taken care of after I had moved out. Furthermore, she and her team did an amazing job with the staging. As a result of Graces diligence and hard work, a contract was put on my home just a few days after it was listed. I highly recommend Grace Chicca and Compass Real Estate if you are thinking about selling your home!
Grace is everything anyone would want in a Real Estate Agent, always available, tireless, constantly seeking what the client wants, on top of her game, personable, and still there after the deal is done.Buying a home is a life event and Grace knows that, she cuts through the drama and makes the event rewarding and memorable.
My wife and I just bought our first home a little over a month ago. And, to be honest, we're still in the process of unpacking boxes. It's been tiresome, a bit stressful, and just generally unpleasant (moving always is). But, upon reflecting on how awful the process of moving is, it made me think back to the home-buying process. Which, for us, was exactly the opposite. It would make total sense that buying a home would be pain-staking... especially your first. But why wasn't it for us? The answer was simple: Monarch Properties and, specifically for us, our realtor Grace Chicca. From day one, Grace was the most professional, organized, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, stabilizing figure we could have ever wished for. From our introductory session --> to visiting homes --> to putting in offers (even having to void one) --> to inspections --> and eventually to closing on a house, Grace was always ahead of the game and guided us seamlessly through each step. She was an *expert* at letting us know exactly what we needed to know, and what options we had, while never overwhelming us. She is, in a word, the best! One of these days we'll eventually finish unpacking all these darn boxes. And we will eventually enjoy our new home that we absolutely adore. But we never would have found this house without Grace's guidance. To her, we owe our deepest gratitude. And to those thinking about going with Monarch Properties, we could not recommend them enough.
Monarch Properties was amazing, thorough, extremely resourceful, and 100% committed to my wife and I during our home buying process. Our Realtor was Grace. And during the process she was detail-oriented and presented every task and stage in the process in a way that was easy to understand and execute as first-time homebuyers. Grace connected us with her quality network of people - from our lenders, home inspector, and other staff members at Monarch. We were able to get through the home search and home buying process in lighting speed thanks to Grace and the entire staff at Monarch, and we look forward to working with the again when we purchase our forever home in the future. Monarch is a 10/10!
My husband and I had never been through the process of selling our home and we had a very short timeline. Grace was incredibly responsive from beginning to end and her support and communication made us feel confident and comfortable during the entire process. Grace gave us a great outline of what to expect during a home sale and gave us honest and clear feedback about potential home repairs, listing prices, timelines, and so on. Grace also provided us with some creative options for listing our home as well as getting our house ready for market. Grace checked-in with us regularly every step of the way, and anytime we had a new question she would respond quickly. We were so impressed with how well Grace was able to navigate all of the moving parts and various parties involved when selling a home. My husband and I feel very grateful that we were able to work with Grace and would recommend her services to anyone!
Highly recommend Grace! We were out of state sellers, which can be quite difficult and stressful. Grace took every phone call and alleviated all our stress and answered all our questions. We decided to do some renovations to our home to make it more appealing to buyers. Grace was our eyes and ears in Virginia during the entire process. She stayed on top of the contractors to make sure they stayed on schedule and on budget. She always kept us up to date with all the renovations even sending us update pictures and progress texts. Once it was complete she got us an offer the following weekend! She is thorough, a tough negotiator, pleasant to work with, and always stays calm even when things get stressful.
The whole experience with Grace was absolutely wonderful! She was very responsive, professional and accommodating. We had to move into the area without being able to visit the location first, and Grace was so nice to give us a virtual tour, answer all our questions and concerns, and made the whole process go smoothly! I highly recommend her services!!
Grace was so prompt and responded immediately to our requests to visit houses. In a crazy housing market where timing is everything, Graces responsiveness gave us additional edge. Great working with Grace.
Grace helped me find renters for my Rosslyn condo during these challenging pandemic times. I live on the West coast now and had to manage the process on my own which was getting burdensome for me and my family in the DC area who would help out. Grace was able to post beautiful pictures of the condo and run with the entire process from there. She provided great advice on assessing potential renters and we found a great fit much faster than I could have on my own. Highly recommend Grace and Monarch for any of your real estate needs.
If youre looking for a realtor, look no further. Grace is the best! We came to find Grace through referral. We worked with Grace for months to find a home. Grace was patient, encouraging, and a true professional. In the end, in a tough market, her negotiation skills helped close the deal on our forever home. Thanks again, Grace!
Grace Perez-Chicca is an extraordinarily skilled agent dedicated to helping her clients achieve their goals. Grace is highly communicative via email, phone and text (she was even emailing us from the plane during her weekend get-away to make certain our contract got ratified). Grace is informed, positive and professional. She made our dream of buying our forever home a reality by understanding our needs and showing us properties as soon as they came on the market (she drove directly from an appointment in Maryland to Haymarket, VA to show us our new home within a couple hours of the house being listed). She expedited all necessary inspections including the home inspection, septic inspection, pool inspection and the well inspection. Grace has a keen eye for details that an average home buyer like myself might overlook (wood rot starting around exterior windows, dates on hot water heaters, etc). She is patient when fielding questions and makes certain her clients understand the entire process of their real estate transaction. Grace's recommendations and advice for making offers and selling properties are top notch! If you want the best representation from a true professional whether buying or selling CALL GRACE!!!!!
We worked with Grace to sell our condo. My family and I met Grace several years back at an open house. She was very professional which caught our attention. At the time we were house hunting for a new property but wanted to sell existing condo. We exchanged numbers and began to comunA-cate. Throughout our engagement Grace was extremely helpful, committed and professional. Unfortunately, we had to pause house search due to birth of a new born. Grace was very understanding of how our family situation had changed. During the pandemic, Grace and us re-engaged as I had listed my condo with a different agent but place was not selling. I decided to terminate agreement with previous agent and enter into an agreement with Grace. She immediately laid out a strategy to get our condo more showings, more exposure online and greater interest. Within 30 days Grace was able to get our place sold. Working with Grace was the greatest as she communicated very well with us throughout the selling process.I'm currently working with her on a second project. Definitely recommend working with Grace. She is awesome!!!!
We came across Grace as we were searching to buy a home whilst overseas. Right from the beginning Grace was easy to work with and explained and went through the whole process with such clarity. She was extremely responsiveness even with the time difference and flexible in viewing homes over Zoom for us. She made the whole process so smooth for us and thanks to her we managed to find our home and close on it within 2 months. Thank you again for all your help!
Grace gave us great communication and advocated for us amazingly when we moved between continents. Due to Covid we were not able to be present during most of the process, but she was always willing to Skype the experience and make sure to accommodate our time difference while holding our hands as first time buyers. Even before we signed with her she was willing to set up a house hunting portal for us and was never pushy or expecting anything in return after letting us know she was available for any questions. Other realtors confidently told us for the price and location we wanted it was impossible to find anything, but Grace was able to give us several options.
Grace not only has the expertise and professionalism, she is also personable. Me and my husband could not have secured the house we want without Graces help. We were both first time homebuyers and new to the DMV area. Grace went above and beyond her role as a real estate agent, helped us familiarize with the area, and provided guidance on financials (extremely helpful if you are in the market as a buyer) and many more tips in order to secure the house! We are beyond appreciative and glad to have her represent us. Grace is professional, personable, super responsive, and most of all, she is in the market to help you with your need! If anyone is searching for a real estate agent, Grace has our votes, no doubt!
We cant thank Grace enough for all her hard work and help to get us through our first home buying experience! Her patience with my endless questions and constant support made this big decision so much more manageable. Before we began working with Grace we were well over our heads and didnt know where to start. Once we started working with her the process became so much smoother and actually enjoyable! She advocated for us during the whole build process to make sure our voices were heard and we got what we truly wanted. We highly recommend Grace to anyone looking to buy or sell your home! She is absolutely amazing! Thank you Grace!!
Grace was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was recommended to me by a friend and I have since done the same! As a first time homebuyer, I was extremely nervous about finding the right place, but Grace's expertise, patience, responsiveness, and overall manner of being made the process so much easier. Grace is extremely dedicated to each of the people she works with and I always felt taken care of, even when she had a sudden medical emergency. I would definitely choose to work with her again, should I need a realtor again!
Grace is an awesome person and we feel so lucky to have "found" her through Zillow. Being first time homebuyers, my fiance and I knew virtually nothing about the homebuying process. Grace made it so easy to understand and our decision to choose her as our guide for our homebuying journey seemed so obvious. Establishing a solid relationship with your realtor is essential through the ups and downs of the emotional roller-coaster that is buying-a-house. Nine months later, we couldn't be happier with our fantastic home, the smooth process, and the amazing friend we've made in Grace.
In three words Grace Perez can be described as knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. Grace helped my wife and I purchase our first home in the budget range and with the square footage we were looking for. Early on Grace showed us a few houses that we requested and she listened to what my wife and I were looking for. She then worked to find homes that included what we wanted at a price point that we liked. When it came down to it, she was to not only able find the house that we loved, but also negotiate to get the price down with additional credit from the seller towards our closing costs. I find that pretty remarkable in the Northern VA market. She maintained frequent contact with us throughout the process via calls, email, and texts. She explained things that we didn't understand and made recommendations based off of her years of experience which paid dividends throughout the process. Not only would I recommend Grace to any friend or family member, I would make it a priority contact her for any of my real estate needs in the future.
Grace helped us buy our first home and was really great to work with. She is incredibly responsive and worked really hard on our behalf. We bought in Arlington at a crazy time, so timing of offers was really important and Grace was completely on point. As newcomers to buying a house, she taught us a lot and was very patient with our questions. I highly recommend her!
Grace is an exceptional realtor! As a first time home buyer, I had not a clue what I was doing. Grace took the time to get to know me and establish a foundation of the kind of home I was looking for. She was patient and helpful throughout the entire process, extremely efficient and well organized, and made sure to give an informed and detailed answer to any question I had. She was also extremely accommodating with my schedule and commute time when scheduling showings. I trusted her fully and greatly appreciated the time she took to find me the perfect home. She is very knowledgeable in what she does and I would recommend her to anyone in need of an agent!
My husband and I loved working with Grace and would absolutely recommend her to anyone in the area. She is incredibly professional and always was quick to respond to our calls and texts throughout the process! Thank you Grace and we look forward to working again with you in the future for our next home :)!
Grace is a very knowledgeable and competent real estate professional and she helped us get our great home! She is a DMV local and knows this area very well. Although the market is super competitive, she guided us through with great expertise and excellent skills which helped us win the contract among several offers. As first time home buyers. we had a lot of questions and requests. Grace was very patient and professional with those and we really enjoyed working with her. We have already recommended her to one of our friends!
There's a saying that comes from Old school Brooklyn, NY which is where I am from: How lucky can one guy be? I closed on a home in Falls Church, VA on 8/14 and when I first arrived here in the end of May, I was lost and confused as to the process of how to buy a home in Virginia. And I spoke to several real estate agents and for the most part, I didn't feel like I would connect with these folks until........I was introduced to Grace and I felt that she is fantastic! Everything from A to Z was taken care of and Grace is prompt, very on point with everything. I couldn't ask for anything more. There was good real estate agents and then there are great. Grace is beyond great! How lucky can one guy be? Like I would say back home in New York: It don't get no better than that!
I cannot emphasize enough the importance of having an agent fully engaged with all aspects of the sale of your property. Grace not only demonstrated this throughout, but was also very patient and prompt with answering the many questions I had during the process that truly help educate me with regards to selling property in todays market. My home sold after being on the market for half a day---and above asking price. I fully recommend Grace Perez to represent anyone in the MD, DC, VA area who is considering selling their home.
Grace assisted my fiance and me in purchasing our first condo. She did an amazing job with helping us understand the entire process and guiding us through each step. During one of our first meetings, she gave us a very informative powerpoint presentation. Even while helping us during the pandemic, she helped us feel comfortable during face-to-face interactions. During showings, she always wore a mask, gloves, and opened/closed doors for us with disinfecting wipes so we never had to touch anything. She participated in the closing process virtually to limit the number of people in the room. She was consistently available and was always honest. There was never any doubt that she had our best interest in mind. I would recommend anyone to work with Grace, especially first time home buyers. Her patience, understanding, responsiveness, and professionalism made the entire process much easier. We will definitely reach out to Grace if we ever need services with selling or buying a home in the future.
This is the second time that Grace has represented our family with the selling of our home, and also the first in buying our new home. Throughout the entire process she has been nothing less than professional, detailed, patient and informative on every step. Grace took the appropriate steps in assessing our home to ensure that it was priced just right. A It was because of her expertise and approach to advertising our home with pictures and click through video tour that we received multiple offers within three days of our home going on the market. A Ultimately, we accepted an offer for more than the original asking price! A Grace was always available when needed and frequently checked in with us to ensure we had no questions or concerns. A Grace made the stressful process of selling a home seemingly painless. A If you are looking to buy or more importantly sell a property, we highly recommend her hands down!
Grace could not have been easier to work with as a first time home buyer. Her advice and suggestions were always spot on and was evident when I submitted my offer on the home I wanted that was accepted by the seller at once. Grace has an incredible knowledge of both the real estate market and the area, Washington DC. She is always responsive with emails, phone calls, and text messages. I highly recommend anyone to work with Grace. When I buy my next home, Grace will again be on my team as my agent.
I recommend Grace as a realtor to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. During these difficult times, Grace calmly guided us through the process of selling my condo. I was impressed with her professionalism, proactiveness, and enthusiasm. If I look to buy a home in the DC area in the future, I would like to work with Grace again.
As first time home buyers, we could not have asked for a better realtor than Grace. She was extremely patient and attentive. She met with us early on to explain the entire home buying process and answered any questions we had. She was always available to tour a home with us and we felt like she made us a priority. We greatly appreciated her desire to talk through our available options and to address any insecurities we felt as first time home buyers. She will be the first person we call if we ever want to move.
This was my second time using Grace to purchase a house, and she continues to prove why I would work with her again in the future. She continually goes out of her way to make sure each step of the process goes smoothly, while always advocating for me, the buyer. The reason she's earned my business for a second time is that on top of being an incredibly knowledgeable realtor, she is open and honest throughout the process. I can't recommend Grace enough for first time and experienced buyers.
I can't thank Grace enough for all the hard work, dedication, and the time she spent in helping me buy a home in Northern VA. Entering into the competitive market and getting outbid on other homes by cash buyers. I was so pleased when Grace helped me snatch up a beautiful home and she made it very easy . She did all the work, walked me through the buying process from the start, held my hand, was extremely responsive, negotiated like a champ, and I very much appreciated it all. I most definitely will recommend anyone I know who is buying or selling a home to Grace. She is a local expert and I feel very lucky to have her as my Realtor For Life! Have a wonderful day!
First time home buyer here, and I was very nervous about the whole home buying process. Grace was extremely knowledgeable, and answered every single one of my questions very thoroughly. I am not from the Northern Virginia area, so I was not familiar with the area at all, and Grace knew exactly the right spots to show me. The home buying process went very smooth, and Grace got the deal done very quick. The best thing was how well Grace communicated with me throughout the entire process. I would 100% work with Grace again, and I got my mother and father to list their home with Grace as well.
My wife and I had about 3 months to shop for and purchase our first home, before the birth of our second child. We met Grace about a week before Thanksgiving. She was a new neighbor and she stopped by our house offering us a holiday pie. She asked if we were planning on selling our home, but she discovered that we were actually renting and in the market for a new home. Thus, we were in need of a buyer's agent and committed to exclusively having Grace represent us.What ensued felt like a crash-course in home-buying that culminated in the purchase of our first home--moving in mere weeks before my wife went into labor. It was quite an experience, but we're happy to report that Grace got the job done and that we love our new home!Grace's strong suit is her consistent level of responsiveness and ability to quickly answer most questions. In the super-competitive D.C. area market, being able to respond quickly is a MUST, since time is of the essence to make a competitive offer on a house.She also has full knowledge of the process of buying a home. She did a great job of briefly outlining that process to us, at our initial consult with her.One area where we feel Grace's skills could improve are with regards to preparing and educating the buyer on what information will be expected of them in order to make their first offer. We had to pass on making an offer for the first home that we were really interested in, because we didn't fully understand each of the items or terms she requested from us.To be fair, Grace did agree to chat over the phone to explain these items and terms (and we did so for over an hour), in order for us to properly understand what information we needed to provide in order for her to craft an offer letter.However, throughout the home buying process, my wife and I repeatedly experienced moments where we came across something that we didn't previously know. It made us say, "If only we had known this prior to," or, "If only we had known that before..." It's hard to place the responsibility of educating the home buyer on any one person. At the time, however, we did feel as though Grace was that person.Grace suggested waiving all but one contingency in getting our new home offer accepted by the sellers. Therefore, it seemed as though there was very little negotiating that occurred in going from under contract to closing. That's not a knock on her negotiation skills, but rather a reflection of the level of negotiation that we observed.Finally, Grace certainly had knowledge of the local real estate market. We did feel, however, that we would have benefited from more support on properly setting the offer price for the homes we were interested in, based on comparable homes recently sold in the area.At the end of the day, we successfully completed the home buying process and are very happy with our first-home purchase. Grace was a crucial part of that process and we certainly wouldn't have been able to do it without her.
What we loved so much about Grace was her hands-on ability in assisting us in selecting a first home for us with a toddler and Mandy being 4 months pregnant. She worked with us right after Thanksgiving with daily updates on potential homes and weekend site visits. Grace knowledge of veteran home loans and having the connections made the process of our home purchase so easy & seamless. As both veterans we really appreciate the professionalism, patience and effort she took to help us purchase our first family home in Sterling, Virginia. We highly recommend her real estate super powers in the MD,DC & NOVA area to any families looking for their first home.

We recently used Grace to sell our townhouse in Alexandria and she did an amazing job from start to finish. Grace went out of her way to help us understand the entire process and was available for questions no mater how small or ridiculous. Grace conducted a hugely successful open house for us and within 24 hours we had 8 offers on our townhouse. I would 100% use Grace again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the DC/NOVA area.
As first-time home buyers, my wife and I were very anxious and uneasy about the home buying process. However, choosing Grace Perez as our realtor was the best decision we could have made, and she was the amazing turning point in our unknown process of home buying. She went out of her way to find answers to all of questions and she made sure that we were comfortable with all decisions made throughout the process. Grace really has compassion for her clients and keeps their best interest at the forefront. Thanks to Grace, my wife and I never made any decisions we werent confident about and we had a very enjoyable first-time home buying experience. Thank you, Grace, for everything!!aEUR?
We had good experience working with Grace on our new home purchase. Grace was very nice and professional. She answered our calls and responded to our emails, even during night time. She was very patient when showing homes and answering questions. It was a pleasure working with her. Five star!
Thanks Grace!! it was a very good experience during all the process and happy to have you as a Realtor. I really appreciate your time, good communication and dedication in order to sell my house.Thank you verymuch1
As someone who has never purchased a home before, I needed an agent who could help not only walk me through the basics of the process, but help me find what I needed (not necessarily what I wanted) and set expectations in the marketplace. Grace wasn't just an agent through the process, she was a partner. She was fully engaged throughout, letting me know about new listings, things that might interest me, and after we got our contract, she kept me informed and up to date on the status of everything. Her communication skills and passion for helping clients find the right home is what will lead me to call her again for house #2. I can't imagine having to go through this process without her, and I would recommend her to anyone, especially first time home buyers.

I sold my home in August of 2017. Grace was the first person I contacted regarding the potential sell of my home. She visited me, looked at the layout of the house, compared the prices of recent sales in the neighborhood that were similar to my home. We discussed our options and went over some upgrades. She was very thorough and created deadlines for action items. When there were any setbacks, Grace was easy to communicate with and understood the process. I was skeptical about how quickly the house would sell but Grace knew the area very well and had an offer after the open house. We closed in a little over a month and at a price that was right where she said it would sell. I would definitely recommend Grace.
I have worked with quite a few agent and Grace was one of the best! As an investor, I needed someone that understood what I was looking for and she was able to find me exactly that. I look forward to working with Grace again in the near future.
Grace has been a pleasure to work with regarding selling my condo and buying a new one. She is knowledgeable in both the industry and the Northern Virginia area. She was proactive when it came to finding the right condo for me to buy in a great yet affordable location. She has always kept me in the loop about where we were in the buying and selling processes. I highly recommend her as your next realtor.
We enjoyed searching for houses with you. We appreciate that you took us to so many as seeing the houses in person helped us make our decision. Also, thank you for arranging the closing in just 20 days! You are a rock star agent! We got engaged over the holidays and are getting married in May! Thanks for being a part of making our dreams come true!
I was referred to Grace Perez by a mutual friend. I was already working with a realtor and did not feel it was a good fit. When I spoke to Grace, I could tell she got me. After our first conversation, Grace arranged multiple listings for me as early as the next day! I had a specific radius within South Arlington, VA that I preferred aEUR" of which she was well-familiar. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of options Grace showed me. I saw completely different choices (much improved) than what my previous realtor showed me. I only needed one day of showings with Grace before I was ready to make an offer. Graces work ethic is unmatchable. I had a tight timeline for identifying housing, and Grace met it without a problem. She listened to my needs, made her own assessment based on her expertise, and found me a new home fast. Unlike some realtors who lean on you to sort through hundreds of listings on your own, working with Grace was a breeze. She is not only gifted at real estate, but very professional and personable. As a first time home buyer, I needed a realtor I could trust 100%. Grace set me up with a lender, home inspector, and title company. She was there every step of the way, at any time of day. Did I mention she also fielded all the tough questions from my mom? Now, Grace is not only my mother-approved realtor, but my friend. I highly recommend Grace Perez whether you are shopping for your first home or forever home.
