About Monica Franks

was licensed at the end of 1999 and began my career as a Realtor at Century 21 Newlin Real Estate in Atwater. Since my dad was a Century 21 agent, it seemed a natural choice. In the early 2000's, I specialized in listings and marketing homes for sale. My goal has always been to represent all clients to suit their needs! Since then, the small office I worked for was purchased by Century 21 M & M and Associates in 2002, and then in 2007 we moved from Atwater to Merced. Now our offices are now the #1 Century 21 Office in the WORLD for the last 3 years! In the early 2000s the use of the Internet took hold, followed by a housing boom and then the burst of the " housing bubble.aEUR? A Realtor's job description dramatically changed! I continued assisting sellers, many to avoid foreclosure and complete short sales, and has also added banks and asset management companies to my list of sellers, entities that were unheard of in my early years as a Realtor. I continues to help sellers obtain the best price for their properties, in their time frames needed and negotiate the best terms possible to suit them. I have successfully helped local buyers and out of town investors navigate through the processes and market trends of short sales and foreclosures. It's an ever changing marketaEUR|.I am enjoying more changes as we continue to see a decline in bank owned homes, foreclosures and short sales, along with an increases in property values and a healthy, stable market. I look forward to serving new clients and becoming your life long real estate consultant.

Monica was amazing to work with from my first phone call and through all the steps of hers and my looking at all the relevant properties listed on the internet and advertised by signs as well! Monica, was available to me throughout my home searching process and she always responded to my calls or texts in a very timely manner! Having Monica on my side was pivotal in securing my precious new home! I am so very grateful to Monica for her personal and professional approach to my home buying experience!

This is the agent of the sellers we are trying to purchase a home from. Because of Monicas lack of getting important information gathered before or even after our was accepted we are less than 20 days from closing and will most likely not close due to this agents lack of getting stuff done. My husband and I have had to gather all of the important information and constantly stay on the solar company to get this moving in the right direction. Absolutely zero excuse for not having this done before listing the home in question.

Monica was outstanding to work with throughout the entire buying process. I appreciated her honest input on both the good and the bad on properties, and once we found the right one for me she had a lot of great perspective and direction. The seller presented some unique challenges and Monica was firm in representing me, yet worked well with the seller to keep it all moving forward in a positive way. I felt like I was in great hands and will definitely go to Monica for buying or selling of Merced property going forward.
