John Monroe - The Monroe Team

We learned buying a new home can be one of the most exciting ventures in life. My past experiences with agents were pretty terrible. It seemed time and time again that an agent would rush you through a house, not listen to or understand your needs and most definitely not have the knowledge to help you make solid and confident decisions. I contacted Linda initially to look at rental properties. It quickly became disappointing because there was no inventory. Linda helped us realize Buying was a much Better option than renting so we started looking at homes for sale. What truly amazed me was how driven and determined she was to find us a rental house even when we werent looking to purchase. Choosing the Monroe team was the best decision we ever made because we experienced no stress and our home buying experience was one of the Best experiences due to the personal touch of service the Monroe Team provided us through the process. Lindas extensive knowledge in the real estate and the mortgage industry was above and beyond what we had ever experienced with another Realtor. She took a very personal approach ensuring we purchased what was Right for US and took the time to explain why some homes might not be the right fit! She further explained after each viewing the pros and cons of the house, what we could expect for resale and if there were any Issues with each home to consider in our thought process of making a decision. She was able to point out specifics on cautionary items such as siding, pipes, electrical, plumbing & structural concerns that we would have never seen or known about. This saves any home buyer a lot of extra time and money and we greatly appreciated that! WE truly felt that she fought just as hard to help us find our home as if she was searching for her own and this really put us at ease in the process. She was easily accessible with a great open line of communication from the very first call we had with her through closing. We were in constant communication and they had tons of professional advice to share with us. She was able to help us see beyond the walls of each house and the potential life we could have in the home which no realtor had ever taken the time to show us in the past! There are so many factors that come into play when buying a new home and Linda took the time to walk us through each one confidently. Even when we were confused about a mortgage question not related to the real estate side, she knew how to explain the steps and was extremely knowledgeable in all areas of the home buying experience. We were also impressed with how hard she fought to stretch our budget and negotiate an amazing price for our home!! Linda also knew how quickly we were in need to get in a home with our current circumstances and from the initial offer and much negotiating we were in the house in 3 weeks!! The closing was a breeze and I believe it is because The Monroe Team made sure we were well prepared every step of the way in the process. There were NO surprises and we were in and out quickly with the keys to our new home! We absolutely LOVE our house and we can look back and smile upon the great experience we had with The Monroe Team! Our family has never been happier in a neighborhood and we will always lean on The Monroe Team for any future plans to sell and move!! There is no one else that has even come close to the personal service we experienced with Linda and John, its too bad there arent more people like them in the industry!! I would most confidently recommend The Monroe Team to anyone who is looking to sell or buy a home because the personal service, honesty and work Ethic they provided is Not Comparable! Customer Service and professionalism have gone out the window, but John and Linda are a true testament to these words!!

THE MONROE TEAM:EXPERIENCED; HONEST; THOROUGHIf you are looking for the utmost in professionalism and an honest opinion about your real estate, the Monroe Team is for you. After interviewing several Realtors in the Bridgemill area, all having solid track records, it was clear that we found a perfect choice with the Monroe Team. We did not want the Realtor who was going to appease us with just a high value; we were looking to seriously move our property. We made a decision to give up our dream house and downsize. Unfortunately, the market values were far lower than when we originally purchased our home. The Monroe Team educated us with facts, not fiction. Their honest pricing and suggestive property-readiness made for a smooth process. Expectations were clear and accurate. Linda Monroe has extensive experience and knowledge and marketed our house just as outlined. It was not surprising that, when the appropriate buyer quickly came alone, she guided the process from beginning to end, no detail left undone. All at the same time, Linda found a short-sale property just our size. As difficult and time consuming this was, Linda stayed on top of the bank and gave us updates during the six-month short sale process. Her persistence and our patience paid off. If you are looking for a truly honest assessment of your property, the Monroe Team is for you!If you are looking for a Realtor with a thorough process, the Monroe Team is it!If you are looking for a Realtor with solid, true experience, then call the Monroe Team!

Selling a home while living 1400 miles away is a mere low hurdle to jump for The Monroe Team. Add in a newly married couple, and 2 sets of in-laws trying to help out, and you've got a set of hurdles worthy of any Olympian to challenge.After 2 rental nightmares, my husband and I decided to place his town home on the market. The Monroe Team was referred to us by my husband's sister. After assessing the qualifications of a few realtors, and speaking with Linda, I knew they were the right ones to help us. They had a list of long standing contacts that know them, and work for them on time sensitive projects. Roofers, carpet people, heat/ac, and general handy-man people. I believe we made use of each of these!As you can imagine, selling a home so far away has many challenges. The Monroe Team bridged each and every gap for us along the way, and even gave needed wedded advice! They were always loyal to us as clients, and to my surprise, even answered questions and was available to us while on vacation and while celebrating thier son's graduation. You can't get that from your own family, much less from a realtor you've never met. All of our discussions and collaborative efforts to sell this property were done via phone, text, or email.I'd recommend The Monroe Team and thier team of professionals to any one who needs a house sold. Girlfriend doesn't play, she works, and jumps any hurdles that come her way!

My wife and I relocated from the Northeast in 2003. we had worked with many realtors over the yearsup north as well as in the Atlanta area purchasing, selling and renting various properties. Throughfriends and business associates, we had heard very positive comments about their real estateexperiences and interactions with the Monroe Team.Since first working with them over five years ago, we have never looked back. Their broad level of marketknowledge, perseverance and professionalism are second to none. When we engaged in the purchaseof our first foreclosure property, we were a little hesitant. Through the process, their experience innegotiating with the banking and lending industries easedJany concerns we may have had previously.The deal was executed flawlessly and in less than 10 businbss days. lt was very clear to us that theirdirect and honest business approach was the reason for such a successful transaction. ln addition, theircommitment to properly vet and screen the potential tenant base has made our rental business a verypleasurable and profitable experience. We continue to reap the rewards of their hard work today.To date, over the dozen real estate transactions with their company have solidified our confidence inyou and your work ethics. We will continue to work with and "highly'' recommend the Monroe Teamfor any and all real estate transactions in the Atlanta area.

The Monroe Team is top notch in every way possible! Our experience with them was excellent. We were concerned with buying a second home and leasing our current home, however Linda was able to answer all of our questions, help us work through all possible scenarios and ease our anxiety. Linda is on top of and very knowledgeable of the past and present markets. Many times we were the first buyer to see homes as they hit the market. She was very honest, presenting the pros and cons of homes, which proved to be very valuable in our search for just the right home! The Monroe Team worked very efficiently, paying close attention to every detail! They proved to be experts on each and every step including, purchasing a new home, providing financial resources, and leasing our current home. As we continue the leasing of our old home, we have consulted with the Monroe Team many times and they have given us excellent advice. I would recommend The Monroe Team to anyone who is new to the area, looking to purchase, sell, or leaseyou will not be disappointed!

Prior to working with The Monroe Team, we had a fair amount of experience with dealing with different real estate agents through our business as a builder/remodeler. Our relationship with The Monroe Team actually started as a business relationship that had nothing to do with our real estate needs. Our company would perform repairs that were needed on homes that The Monroe Team were buying or selling for their clients. During our time of doing business with The Monroe Team. it became very apparent what type of people/team they were. They were a get it done, get it done right, and get it done quickly team. The Monroe Team over and over again showed us through their work ethic how if and when we ever had real estate needs they would be the one to choose. They were so thorough on making sure their client was satisfied and always looking for the best price to give the client. They were very educated on what items were important and knew exactly the price range the customer should be paying for those items; no price gouging would ever get by The Monroe Team. The dedication we saw them put into each and every client was like they were their only client and they made the time, didnt matter what time it was, to make sure all of their needs were met. Most importantly not only did it have to meet their clients expectations it had to meet theirs too; which in most all cases was higher than the clients. Based on what we saw and how they worked when we had real estate needs of our own, there was no question on which team we would use. It would be and was The Monroe Team. Of course they met all of our concerns with no problem. They were able to find what we wanted in the price range we were looking for and they did it quickly. The Monroe Team did not disappoint us; in fact every time we have dealt with them, they have exceeded our expectations and we have no doubt they would exceed yours too! Over and over again, The Monroe Team will be our choice for all of our real estate needs.

The Monroe team did an outstanding job in selling my house. My house had been on and off the market for about a year. This happened during the recession and a very bad housing market. Then, Linda was referred by a friend who was very happy with her services and how she sold her house. Linda came in assessed the house and our situation. She took charge, put together a marketing plan, and brought in a team of associates, lawyers, etc. in order to get the house sold. She provided tips and suggestions for us to use in preparing the house for showings. She immediately increased the number of showings which increased interest in the property. Under Lindas leadership, we went from having no offers to having several offers during the selling process. The house sold and we closed in January 2013. I would work with Linda and the Monroe team again, if I were buying or selling another house. Thank you Linda and The Monroe team.

With 45 years of experience in residential home building, we were looking for an agent with knowledge and energy to help us find a home that would fit our needs.The Monroe Team exceeded our expectations.The attention to detail they provided from offer to closing was outstanding.They are true professonals and a pleasure to work with.

We began working with the Monroe in 2003. We hired the Monroe team to sell our first house because they had an outstanding reputation in the neighborhood. We were looking to sell as soon as possible with out a loss. The Monroe team held up to their reputation and our house sold quickly. They were very knowledgeable and made selling our house very easy. We have continued to use the Monroe team for the purchase and sale of 4 more houses. The Monroe's continue to amaze us with their real estate knowledge and expertise. They take a personal interest in each sale/purchase making sure we get the best deal possible each time. I highly recommend them to friends often and will continue to use them as well.

We were extremely pleased with our real estate dealings with The Monroe Team. We used them to sell our current home, and buy our dream home all in the same time frame. If you ever tried to do this you know it is difficult, but Linda and John Monroe were true partners and guided us through every step. Selling: 1. They were always upfront with all information and did not just tell us what we wanted to hear.2. They provided an accurate market analysis on current home.3. They provided a breakdown of items that needed to be fixed/upgraded to sell our home at the best price in shortest time frame.4. They also provided a list of contractors that we could use (and they trusted). We used some of ours and some they recommended. Their recommended contractors did a fantastic job!5. The house closed in less than 45 days at the price we targeted. Buying: 1. We fell in love with a Short Sale house that needed a lot of work2. They knew exactly what needed to be done to start negotiations with Seller and Bank3. They helped us work with one of their trusted finance partners to secure this home while selling our current home4. There were numerous issues that popped up along our process. The Monroe Team took ownership of each and knocked them out of the park. I highly recommend The Monroe Team. They are up front, honest and experts in Selling/Buying Real Estate.

Recently I had the opportunity to purchase property in Cherokee County. With market conditions being difficult over the years, I wanted someone I could depend on, morning, noon or night, as well as having expertise in this county. Selecting the Monroe team exceeded all my expectations. John and Linda continually updated me on listings, gave objective recommendations on any property we looked at, and followed through with a trouble free closing. Most important I value confidentiality and privacy. This has been an issue with me with previous business dealings. Safe to say my business was safe with them. No doubt I would use them again.

I have worked with the Monroe Team for almost 15 years. Linda and John are much more than agents. They are full service agents. They have the resources and contacts to get things done. They have helped me with construction, finance and insurance. When we sold our first house Linda came in showed us what homes in our neighborhood were selling for and told us what we should list our home for. She walked through the house told us what needed to be done, scheduled the contractors, told us what to pay and had everything done and the house ready to sell in a week. Less than a week later we were under contract! Since then I have bought and sold 5 more homes with the Monroes. All of my closing have gone smoothly which is a testament to all the behind the scenes work they do. They are extremely knowledgeable and up to date with the real estate market. I trust them completely and highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home.

Having worked with the Monroe's in the past, we did not hesitate to call on Linda when selling our most recent home. She really knows the business. When going through the inspection/repair process, Linda fought for us on details we had not even considered. The sale was completed in record time. We are very satisfied and would definitely recommend The Monroe Team!

I found working with Linda Monroe to be a great pleasure. She assisted us in prepping our home for sale, making suggestions that proved to quickly sell our home. We had moved to a new location and Linda assisted us even though we were states apart. I would highly recommend her services. She knows the market well and will help speed up the sales process and reduce the stress of selling. Mark ZurzoloLonza Inc.Global Key Account Manager
