Monica was instrumental in our selling this duplex. She negotiated diplomatically with the buyer/agent and facilitated a fast sell. I recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home on either side of the Cuyahoga, east or west, she's the best!
We worked with Monica for almost a year and a half on our search for our ideal home, and the following sale of our former home. She was totally amazing throughout as we narrowed the search, always patient with our exacting wishes. She was astonishing in her responpsiveness, always available to meet, message or chat. No problem seemed to disturb her, and she always has the right answer. While preparing for our home sale, she was a terrific source for help, with knowledge of who could help with anything to get the house ready for market. Her sense of timing during the negotiating was spot on! We found Monica by word of mouth, and we can understand why, as she is amazing!
Well the process finding the home was great we only had to look at 6 homes and the 5th home was the one we fell in love with. She was knowledgeable of the area and once she had our criteria we only got great selection to choose from. She is friendly prompt and your side kick Doug was great too. The negotiation was great she kept our interest at heart down to the closing day. We love Monica Graham.
Monica went above and beyond what was expected to help me find exactly what I needed. She was extremely accommodating regarding scheduling viewings and making herself available on short notice when necessary
Monica is a top shelf realtor, the cream of the crop! She is not only a pleasure to work with, but she embodies everything you would want in a realtor--highly professional, very personable, experienced, great communicator, realistic, honest, well-connected, and clearly knows how to read the market and position your home for the best possible outcome. I have direct experience using Monica for two home sales, both of which met all of my expectations and then some. I recommend Monica to anyone who wants to sell (or buy) a home without reservation.
A colleague referred Monica to us to help us find our first home in a very competitive market. We were immediately impressed with Monica's deep knowledge of the Cleveland area, her professionalism, and her interest in finding us the right home. She let us know what to expect in a sellers' market. Her communication was great--she was very responsive, even during holidays when we needed her quick input. When we found our home, she knew how to make our offer strong to give us the best chance, and we got the house! Monica never pushed us to settle on any home or to make an offer we were not comfortable with. In fact, she went steered us from homes that would likely cause us a lot of headaches. She spotted red flags that we didn't notice and had our best interests in mind. Monica has a network of lenders and contractors that she connects you with even after the home purchase is complete. She is organized and kept us on schedule and guided us through the entire buying process, which made it much more manageable. We would not hesitate to work with Monica again and will certainly recommend her to others.
Monica is without any doubt a top professional in her field. It was a true pleasure to work together with her twice over the last 4 years. I completely trusted her guidance and practically all her predictions throughout the process became true. She has high standards for herself and for the partners she is working with, and has at any given point in time full control of what can be a pretty complex process. She is highly reliable, has a great foresight, and has a strong network of professional contractors, which like to work together with her. She is humble, but confident, able to listen very well and able to put herself in the shoes of the buyer and/or seller. I would ANY TIME recommend her to my colleagues and friends, she is just DOING A TRULY GREAZ job !!
Monica was a joy as a realtor. She was referred by colleagues whom I trust. Her work ethic and responsiveness truly stand out among other realtors. All along the way she explained things and was patient with many of my questions. Also, Monica has a network of skilled contractors to address many concerns. It was a pleasure working with her. I would hire her again and recommend her to people I know.
Monica was fantastic to work with. She first helped us find our ideal home and was very responsive and helpful through the whole process. Then she also helped us sell our previous home. She exceeded our expectations for listing and selling our home and she had a wealth of knowledge to make this process very smooth. Monica has a number of close contacts of different experts that made our experience the best possible when we needed certain specialties for both the buying and selling processes. I highly recommend Monica!
I started working with Monica 14 years and 3 houses ago. Her professionalism, expertise and interactions through the buying/selling processes are beyond reproach. Her patience and friendliness are a true gift for anyone looking to navigate through real estate purchases. Ive recommended her to friends and colleagues and will continue to do so in the future. I couldnt have asked for a better realtor!
Monica was on top of our home buying search and experience from day one. She was able to provide us with the early leads on houses that were coming up or just listed and she was always very responsive when we inquired about a showing or needed assistance.Monica made us aware of the house that we purchased early in the morning and in 24 hrs we were home owners. We would not have gotten the house if she would not have been on top of the listing and notify us quickly.She was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout the process and always had our best interest in mind. She was even able to support us with advise for selling our other house out of state.I would highly recommend her.
Monica made searching for and ultimately purchasing a home a fun, exciting, and relaxing process. Throughout the 2 or so months that we worked with her, she was available by phone any time we had questions or concerns, and replied quickly to emails. She showed us many houses that fit what we were looking for, and made sure we understood what realistic, competitive offers would look like when it came time to make offers. When we did find the perfect home, it was all because of Monica that the right offer was made and then accepted. During the inspection process, and all the way until our closing date, she made sure we understood what needed to happen, and was there for each step. She was also just very personable and an extremely pleasant person to work with. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Monica is an amazing realtor who found us our new home. Her real superpower is that she takes the time to really get to know her clients and assesses what they want and what they need in a new home. Having the 31 years invested in Cleveland and the surrounding areas gives her insight and enables her to suggest a neighborhood that you may want to look for your forever home. We had looked at a few homes, but nothing was quite the right fit. Monica suggested we look at a different style of house, so she could get a feel for what else we may be looking for. The house was perfect for us, and we fell in love instantly and bought the house. All because she truly wanted to know our needs and wants better and find us our home. Her dedication to us didnt stop there. She is a great communicator and kept us informed of next steps and kept things on track every step of the way. If you really want to buy a home, Monica is the best agent you are going to find. Look no further.
Monica Arredondo-Graham is the best agent in the Cleveland area. First she painlessly sold our home in 2 weeks, then she assisted in purchasing our newly built home. Her 30 + years in the real estate industry shines through with her professionalism, expertise and knowledge of the market. My husband and I will fondly remember the time spent with Monica, we are truly grateful for having her as our agent.
Monica is a fantastic realtor who recently helped me find and purchase my home. She got to know me and what I value in a home and sent me suggested listings including the house I ended up buying. She is highly knowledgeable about the market and the city requirements, which provided reassurance and peace of mind throughout the process. Her insight and persistence helped greatly as I navigated a difficult market and purchasing situation. If you are looking for a realtor to help you find your next home, I highly recommend Monica!
I truly can't say enough good things about working with Monica during our out of state relocation. Monica spent time listening and learning about our priorities and was able to identify properties that addressed those needs. Monica was able to plan a robust house hunting weekend that resulted in an accepted offer so that we could expedite our relocation. She was thoughtful, kind, and calm as we worked through what could have been an incredibly stressful situation. She added insight and expertise as we considered the options available. She even brought us sandwiches as we weren't going to have time to stop for lunch with the back to back showings we had scheduled. After our offer was accepted, Monica remained organized and communicative. She shares a closing calendar that helps you stay on track with all steps in the process that resulted in a seamless path to closing. She has an extensive network of partners in the area who can provide support in home repairs and financing options. Every one of her referrals exceeded our expectations. Monica even followed up after closing to make sure that we didn't have any additional needs or questions or referrals needed. I would recommend Monica with the utmost confidence to anyone looking for a home in the Cleveland area, and we will absolutely engage her if we sell or buy in the future.
Exceptional agent! Knowledgeable, professional, reliable and articulate. Monica knows the real estate business and can help navigate her clients to a successful closing in record setting time. Her extensive experience has prepared her well. She guided us through a serious pop-up issue maintaining her calm which extended to us. She surrounds herself with a competent and dependable team that share similar qualitiesI will rate the total experience 5 stars!
We first met Monica when she was showing a house that we later ended up buying. She left such a good impression on us that day (as the sellers agent) that when we ended up moving to KY, we chose to use her as our realtor. She is extremely personable, very professional and just flat out knows the business. She helped us navigate a very weird market in 2021 and her guidance led to a very smooth and timely sell. If you're looking for someone to "call it like it is" while maintaining excellent rapport along the way, Monica is your agent!
Monica was an absolute joy to work with and my husband and I couldnt believe we lucked up with her as our realtor. One day we just saw this house that we wanted to see as soon as possible on Zillow. They contacted us and said that Monica would contact us shortly, and she did. We didnt end up buying that house, but that was the start of a year long relationship. She and her team of professionals have helped us get our house prepared for sale, and we were able to sell it for double the amount we paid for it 8 years ago. Now, were in the process buying a new construction home, with the help of Monica (and Doug). Her experience, knowledge of the housing industry, professionalism and years in the business, make her the ultimate agent. And I'm so happy that we got a chance to meet her, she is the real deal!
Monica is not just the best real estate agent but also the best professional we have ever dealt with. She's fearless, honest, and knows her field inside out. She makes the process smooth and painless and always finds exactly what we need whether it's a buyer or the perfect property. She brings integrity and that's not easy to find.
Monica is a pro with a capital P. Her knowledge and professionalism is unmatched. Shes been in the business a long time and has seen everything and answered every question we had. She helped us with space use, price, house color, staging, and helped us work through all the paperwork with ease. Then again with negotiation when the buyer wanted items included with full price offer.
Monica is the ultimate professional. She expertly balances our personal needs yet also provides expert advice on finding the perfect house. She knows the market: trends and housing stock. She is pleasant and accommodating to our busy schedules. Monica is very responsive and communicates well via email, text and obviously in person.
Monica helped me find and purchase a house in the Cleveland area. She worked with me for many months, showing me dozens of homes and helping me to think through what features were really important to me. When I ran into snags, she was invaluable in helping me work through them - for instance, when I made an offer on a house and then discovered that it needed a great deal of work that the seller wasn't willing to do. When I finally did find the right house, she walked me through the process of buying my first home and kept me informed and well-supported every step of the way. I simply can't recommend Monica highly enough! She's patient, extremely knowledgeable, efficient, super-responsive, and does it all with humor and friendly ease.
Monica Graham and her service as our agent was perfect. Monica's real estate knowledge is wide and valuable when seeking a home, including extensive neighborhood knowledge. Just as important, Monica has great ability to spot subtle technical details in home systems and structures that could be an issue in the future. Monica is also great with not suggesting homes that would not be the best fit: she takes the time to get to know a buyer and truly respects and honestly suggest homes that will be a good fit. It was very obvious that Monica cares about and has great pride in her role in serving her clients. During the negotiation process, Monica's skills had perfect tact and were very detail orientated. Monica's knowledge of the closing and contract details is cardinal, where she makes sure you understand what you are signing. Most importantly, she has your back, and represents her clients first. From viewing to signing, Monica was effective & professional. She has all of the necessary qualities clients need in a challenging and at times, an arduous process.

Monica was absolutely stellar from start to finish. When we were looking to buy our first home, we called around to several agents in the area. Monica was the only agent who took the time to coach us through what to expect before we even met! She also made sure to follow up with us when we were certain we were moving to the area. Working with her has been a true delight. She is quick, thorough, honest, a great listener and an effective problem solver. When things were getting slowed with financing, Monica stepped in and helped move things right along aEUR" so incredibly helpful at a time when we were very stressed out. Shes very connected to many people in the area and has sent us great referrals for roofers, HVAC, painters, etc. What has really impressed us the most about Monica is that she did not simply treat this as a job but she truly cared for us as people. Monica had our best interest at all times. Without a doubt, there will be no other realtor that we would do business with in the future. Highly, highly, recommend her!!! Amazing, amazing, amazing!
Monica helped my siblings and me sell our childhood home which was very outdated. She expertly guided us in the process of determining how much cosmetic work to do on the house and the proper price point to help it sell quickly. I recommend Monica because she was very personable, responsive and easy to communicate with through a long process that required a lot of attention. She is very professional, organized and knowledgeable about what buyers are looking for in the Heights. Great to work with.
Monica is professional, resourceful and very knowledgeable about the communities/housing market. She took the time to discuss with me any pros/cons or considerations throughout the listing and ultimately selling process. Due to the market, condo sells in my neighborhood were low so it took some time to sell my unit. When I finally got a good offer Monica was with me every step of the way negotiating and facilitating final steps. What could've been a painful, drawn out experience was handled with care for my needs yet very expeditiously. I recommend her highly!
Monica is a professional at her job and cares about her clients. She worked with our family and was patient in helping us find a home that fit our family without putting any pressure. She is very knowledgeable and the transaction went smoothly.
Monica is amazing! Throughout a very difficult selling process due to several unexpected events (one being a neighbor's tree falling over and crashing into the house during a storm) she remained calm and provided great support. She expertly guided me through the selling process, readily provided references for resources I needed, and kept in daily contact with me. I can't imagine having a successful selling experience without her!
Monica is a truly excellent realtor. Throughout a fairly tumultuous sale of my home, Monica was level-headed, intelligent, responsive and expert in her advice. I was grateful to have Monica on my side of the deal, and I can unequivocally recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier realtor in Cleveland.
She was very patient and really helped us find the perfect home for us. We were unfamiliar with Ohio and we're grateful for her advice. She didn't try push the house she thought was right, but listened to our concerns and we found an amazing house in a wonderful neighborhood. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new place.
My wife and I were referred to Monica last year and we could not have been happier as she was incredibly responsive and quickly found us multiple listings to our liking. Once we found a house Monica worked diligently on our behalf to negotiate and close the deal. Would use her again in heartbeat.
Monica has helped us over the past 23 years to find and sell our homes. She is the very best at what she does, professional, responsive and knowledgeable. I cannot imagine working with anyone who could possibly provide better service, she is the BEST. She is very detail oriented, knows the market well and gives the very best advice. Thank you Monica for all you do for our family.
We met Monica Arredondo-Graham at an open house that she was hosting in Cleveland Heights, when we stopped in on a whim as we were driving through the Grant Demings Forest Hill Neighborhood admiring the beautiful houses. We found her to be absolutely delightful and asked her to show us a few houses in the coming weeks. Even though, at the time, we decided it really wasnt good timing for us to make a move just yet, Monica was always gracious, helpful and understanding of our decision. Then about a year and a half later we did decide it was a good time to make a move, so naturally, we contact Monica again. She was just as wonderful to work with then as she was the first time. She happily showed us some homes in both Shaker and Cleveland Heights and we settled on a lovely restored home in Cleveland Heights. Monica is very knowledgable about this area, fair pricing and going to bat for her clients. She was just wonderful to work with, we felt like she was more of a friend then a business associate. We would highly recommend Monica to everyone!
Monica is well-mannered, smart, charming, and a pleasure to be around and a delight to have as a real estate agent. She was always on time, always did what she said she was going to do, always kept in touch and always kept our best interests in mind when listing our house and negotiating the sale of our house. She was always available whenever I e-mailed or texted her and she always got back to me right away. I realize I've used the word always a lot; however, "always" is the most appropriate term. She is a consummate professional and I would recommend her highly to anyone selling his or her house.
Monica was able to show us our home quickly and within a week helped us have our bid accepted by the owners. She was timely in her responses to our questions/needs and was professional throughout. We would recommend her indeed!
Monica is the best of the best. It was our first time buying a home and she provided a breakdown of the process, personal guidance and expertise and helpful information we didn't even know to ask. We found our dream home and she made a tedious process seem easy. I recommend her to every friend and family member buying a home.
Monica Graham is an outstanding realtor. She helped to buy and sell a home in 2005, then again in 2016. She's an expert on the individual neighborhoods and guided us to the right home
Monica listed and sold both mine and my wife's former homes. She was very aggressive in marketing the homes for quick sale. She is currently working at finding us our next home. She's experienced, knowledgeable, and extremely professional. And patient. Best decision we made was working with Monica.
Monica helped me to buy my house when I relocated to be closer to work, and she helped me to sell it when I got married and relocated again. Both experiences were excellent and Monica is the key reason for that. She's an experienced and knowledgeable realtor who provides sound guidance and is also a great listener who pays attention to her clients' needs and preferences. Once you tell her something, she rarely, if ever, forgets it. She's a clear, concise and prompt communicator, so I always knew where we stood in the process and what the next steps should be. Monica also goes above and beyond for her clients, recommending contractors and vendors and even arranging and handling appointments and other duties. She personally completed most of the work needed to remedy an issue with the well water at my house, which required lots of time at the house running water and checking test strips, and then she even cleaned the toilets and sinks once the issue was resolved! Now, that's service! Beyond experience and professional qualifications, Monica is a genuinely sincere, caring, down-to-earth person who makes you feel comfortable. She's a pleasure to work with and that's why my husband and I plan to work with her to sell our current home and purchase the next one when we're ready. I recommend Monica wholeheartedly.

Monica Graham is a true advocate for her client. She is the consummate professional, highly knowledgeable, patient and, most importantly, effective. She gets results.We worked with Monica for the sale of mom's two-family home in Shaker Heights. We were on a time frame to sell because we did not want to let the house sit vacant - especially with winter approaching. Despite a dismal market for two-family home sales in our price range and area, Monica got the job done within our deadline, calmly and kindly. We were so fortunate to have her as our agent and recommend her wholeheartedly.
If you're looking for a true professional who will provide service above and beyond look no further. My wife and I have had the pleasure of working with Monica on the purchase for two homes, and the subsequent sale of these two properties 5 years later. Monica is the consummate professional that will go above and beyond what is expected of either a selling agent or listing agent.With Monica we have had offers on both of our properties with the first people to view the property. The first one closed last Friday and the next will follow soon. The second property has closed and even though it was painful with the buyer Monica kept us informed and worked to close this as expiditiously as possible.My only regret is that there are only 5 stars to be awarded.
I have used Monica Graham when buying two properties, and she is the best agent I have ever used. She is very quick to respond to any questions that I have had, she knows the neighborhoods, and she is excellent at fitting the property with the buyer. I would highly recommend using her when you are ready to buy a property. I am currently using her services to sell a property, and she has been prompt and efficient in moving the process forward.
Monica took me to see over 20 houses in one weekend to determine my preferences and help me find a charming 1925 colonial home in Cleveland Heights. She continued to be agent and consultant when I needed to move out-of-state and rent the house. After six years, she went many extra miles as liaison to the contractor for improvements and agent to sell the house. She priced it perfectly. We had an offer in a week and closed the following month. I'll always be deeply grateful for her professionalism and friendship.
It was our first time of buying a house and we didn't know much about the process. My sister-in-law recommended to contact Monica and told us not to worry, because Monica would explain everything (she also helped my sister-in-law to get a house about a year ago). And here we are...just recently got a townhouse and we are very happy with it! Monica was very patient and extremely professional during the house search. I really liked how attentive she was to our needs and desires. With her help we got exactly what we wanted and closed up pretty fast.
I've used Monica in both home purchases I've made--first in 2008 and very recently for our new home with my husband. Both times it was a multiple offer situation, and both times, we got the house! I think that speaks of how well Monica takes care of her clients. She is calm and collected all the way through the entire process and very communicative/easy to get a hold of, which is so helpful in dealing with stress bumps along the way. She is also extremely knowledgable not only in these neighborhoods, but in recommending everything from a great mortgage originator to a fabulous contractor. There's a reason she keeps getting recommendations, because she is simply the best!
I recently worked with Monica to purchase my new townhouse. I would highly recommend her because she is patient, has a lot of knowledge about the area, and is a great person to have on your side of the process.
I thought Monica was impressive but I did choose another realtor. Monica was very well prepared for our meeting and her presentation was great and quite thorough. I connected with another Realtor
