  • Monica helped me buy a home

      We got our dream house, and Monica made it happen! I'm certain that without her help we would still be hunting for a place to live--having missed out on the perfect home for our family. We feel so lucky to have worked with Monica. She was there every step of the way to help make this happen. She listened carefully to our needs--which changed quite a bit as we went through the process. She skillfully adapted plans and strategies to make sure we got the right home for us. She dropped everything at a moment's notice when we needed to see the home, and she was on top of EVERYTHING that needed to happen. This is our first home, and it's just so perfect I think it could be our last. We will always be grateful to Monica for helping us find and purchase this gem.

    • Monica helped me buy a home

        We have a great deal of trust in Monica. She has helped us twice in purchasing a home, and we have always found her to be have impeccable integrity. She is well-informed and researches carefully for correct information to any questions that my arise. Her experience with buyers and sellers is invaluable in knowing the right balance in advocating for her clients in a way that would secure an appropriate deal with sellers. We know that we would not have got the homes we have without Monica’s expertise and diligence. We always knew that she acted in a way that was in our best interest and not self serving. We highly recommend Monica Chudgar as a realtor…and as a quality human being!

      • Monica listed and sold my home

          It was our first time selling a home and Monica held our hands through the entire process. She is an excellent communicator, not only in how she explains things but also in her promptness to get things done. Before we put it on the market, she walked through our whole property and made suggestions of changes that needed to be made and what was fine to leave as is. I really appreciate that she also had us do a full inspection first and then fully disclosing all items to potential buyers. This made for a really smooth escrow. She helped us stay on top of signatures needed and we even got to close escrow early way above our asking price. Her services are worth every penny!

        • Monica listed and sold my home

            Monica was helpful and informative through every step of the process of selling my home. I was states away for the whole sale and I felt completely confident and safe with Monica as my agent. She took care of the contractor, photographer, inspections, escrow, cleaners, etc. She secured a great offer on the home and kept me updated with excellent communication. I'll be working with her again in the future. Highly Recommended.

          • Monica listed and sold my home

              Monica was highly recommended to us by friends who had just sold their house in Los Osos. Their glowing recommendation of Monica could not have been more right. We put our house on the market at the end of the spring 2022 frenzy and rather than multiple offers and a bidding war on our beautifully updated home, we were faced with a sudden drop in home buyers and sparce interest. We were serious about selling as we were relocating and Monica expertly guided us through this rapidly shifting market, helping us to set the perfect price and finding us the perfect buyers. There were a few hiccups along the way due to problems on our buyer’s contingency sale and although those were not problems in Monica’s scope as our agent, she helped the other agent smooth those hurdles while explaining the situation to us, removing any anxiety we felt. Monica is brilliant, compassionate, enthusiastic and loves the community where she works. She made sure that she was always available to answer our questions and offer wise counsel. We are not at all sure we could have sold our house in that crazy evolving market without Monica – and she made the experience as smooth as it could possibly have been. We recommend her without any reservation and wish she was an agent for us wherever we are.

            • Monica helped me buy a home

                Monica was truly outstanding. We have bought several houses over the year's and Monica was by far the most professional and knowledgable agent we have had the pleasure to deal with. She dedicated herself to meeting and exceeding our expectations. She ensured we had all the necessary information to make accurate decision. She was always very timely with the information. She ensured all the parties were always on the same page. Monica was an attentive and active listener and clearly is an individual of integrity and thus gained out trust. Lastly she was very organized to make sure a complex transaction went through very smoothly. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Monica!

              • Monica helped me buy a home

                  Monica made my dreams of home ownership come true! As a first time home buyer, I was overwhelmed and honestly pretty afraid of the entire process, but Monica was there to offer guidance and support every step of the way. I was especially appreciative of her going above and beyond explaining all of the paperwork! Her experience as an appraiser further cemented my confidence when making decisions. It’s clear that Monica loves what she does and enjoys helping people find a good match. Thank you, Monica!

                • Monica listed and sold my home

                    Monica was an excellent communicator and really cared about the details of the process. Couldn't recommend her highly enough. She loves Los Osos and the surrounding area and is very knowledgable about the market. I loved that she shared so much about her "philosophy" of selling, since it is informed by years of her experience working on the appraisal side.

                  • Monica is an amazing agent and such a pleasure to work with! She was referred to us by friends and family and we are super happy we went with their recommendation! We felt immediately comfortable with Monica and her level of professionalism is super impressive but we also really appreciated her ability to understand the emotional side to buying a new home. She was alway one step ahead of us when it came to finding and suggesting homes and totally worked with us to understand our style and needs. We are pretty organized clients and not once did we have to remind Monica of anything or feel that she wasn't available for us. She was always willing to help us out even with the smallest details. I would recommend Monica to anyone looking for a seamless real estate experience!

                  • When we were looking to move from Southern California to the central coast, we found Monica's name on an internet search for realtors in the area. After just talking with her over the phone, we knew she was a good fit for us, and this was even more apparent after our first meeting. We looked at many houses over the next few months and then we got the call from her that "the one" had come on the market. She was right and with her assistance, we closed the deal quickly and painlessly. We kept in touch and flash forward six years later when we acquired another house, this time out the state, there was no question that we would ask Monica to help us sell our house in Los Osos. She guided us through the sale process via long distance and I don't know if we would have been able to accomplish the task without her. She supplied us with references to contractors and coordinated scheduling to get the house ready for sale. Having known us for several years, she also knew the best way to market our home and helped us negotiate the offers. We agree with everything other reviewers have said about her, especially her being professional yet personable. She has our highest recommendation.

                    - Melanie & Sean - 2019
                  • We selected Monica to market our property in Los Osos, and it was a great decision! She accurately priced the house and created a simple and effective marketing plan, resulting in a full-price offer and a no-hassle sales experience. Monica is knowledgeable, professional, personable and skilled in negotiating. She is a great communicator, which was especially important to us as out-of-town sellers. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and give her my highest recommendation.

                    - Randy - 2018
                  • Monica is AMAZING! She is extremely patient, professional, and so easy to communicate with. My husband and I first started to look for a home here in the central coast while we were still living in Portland, OR and she made it so easy and stress free. She always responded to emails and phone calls quickly and never let a question go unanswered. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

                    - Katie & Evan - 2018
                  • I remember walking in to Monica's listing...we were so set on just using any agent who was selling the house. Monica changed that. It was immediately evident she really knew her stuff. Within ten minutes, without her ever pressuring us, we had made up our mind to stop our one stop shopping, and take advantage of the ease and effort Monica had to offer. She never let us down. After months of looking, and an insistent Monica making sure we were not settling (what kind of realtor convinces you not to buy houses?!?), we finally found the home that makes us melt when we talk about it. We get gushy and nostalgic. This is weird, because the house was a complete disaster. I think Monica had to have a total of fifteen contractors come out. She met every single one, sometimes even getting her own shovel out, and never once made us feel like it was out of her job description. Honestly, she made us feel as if it were not a job at all; she was just helping out her friends. I HAVE NEVER had someone I just met WORK SO HARD to help me be successful.Very few times in life do you meet someone and immediately feel they are there to help you. Monica Chudgar was the perfect person to guide us through the trials of purchasing a home. When we needed support, she was a rock, when we needed her to fight for us, she was more than willing to put on gloves. Without Monica, I am convinced our home purchase would have never happened. She was always there for us as a realtor and a friend.

                    - Kim & Rob - 2014
                  • We had no connections in real estate in the SLO area, but feel blessed that Monica Chudgar answered the phone when we made a Sunday morning call asking to look at a property that same day. Not only did she arrange for us to see the property, but she lined up several others so that we could have some comparisons -- within a couple hours! We ended up purchasing the property and found it to be the most seamless real estate purchase we had ever experienced. Monica is professional yet very personable and easy to work with. She is very knowledgeable about the area (we are from out of town) and responsive to any questions. If she didn't know the answer, she would get the answer shortly. Her communication skills were excellent and she was readily available -- answering our calls and emails quickly. Monica was on top of every aspect of our transaction and made this purchase easy. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again and wouldn't even consider looking for a different agent in the SLO area. There is a very good reason that she received Realtor of the Year in 2012!

                    - Sue & Mark - 2013
                  • When we moved to the San Luis Obispo, we knew absolutely no one in the area. Monica met with us, discussed our hopes and dreams for living in the area, and set our minds at ease. Her attention to detail and seemingly faster-than-humanly-possible responses to our questions made our first property buying experience quick and easy. We've since bought and sold property in SLO all with Monica's help. And if we ever buy or sell again, Monica will be our first (and only) stop. We've come to think of Monica as family -- she puts so much care into the process, smoothing the inevitable real estate bumps along the path and staying by your side every step of the way. Call her and get started on the next chapter of your life. You'll be glad you did.

                    - Matt & Barbara - 2013
                  • Earlier this year my husband and I moved from Alaska to SLO county for work. We knew with the move, finding a rental was going to be tough and we thought that the real estate market would be even tougher. Lucky for us we had Monica to help us find the perfect house that fit our budget and had us moving in within a month of arriving to the area. As first time home buyers she walked us through the process step by step and always made herself available when we needed her through negotiations. Monica brings a caring and positive outlook to the sometimes daunting process of buying a home. We couldn't and wouldn't have bought our home without Monica's help and now we refer her to all our friends who are looking.

                    - Kylee & Nick - 2016
                  • Monica recently assisted my family in the sale of our property in Morro Bay. This involved a complex, estate sale transaction with absentee sellers, and included the need to coordinate with local contractors on our behalf and an extended escrow. From the beginning, Monica presented as an honest, forthright, professional, and extremely capable realtor. She was very knowledgeable, but also not afraid to conduct further research or seek the assistance of others in her office at those rare times when she did not have the "answer" needed. Monica is an excellent communicator who kept us informed every step of the way and in a timely manner. In the end, she did whatever it took to make sure the process went smoothly, our interests were represented, and we achieved a satisfactory sale! I would definitely recommend Monica to friends and family who might need the services of a realtor on the Central Coast.

                    - Sarah - 2016
                  • Monica helped us get into our first home- and we absolutely love it! She was a teacher as well as an agent, running us through every aspect of the process. She was patient, empathetic, and when asked gave us honest advice. She never rushed us, and actually urged us to take it slow. She was generous with her time and found us just the right place.Monica also has a wide range of references for pest inspection, home inspection, etc that did not disappoint.Long and short: Monica is the best! We highly recommend her.

                    - Matt & Lindsay - 2015
                  • I love Monica! She helped me find a place to live in SLO when everyone said it was impossible. She's thorough, professional, cool as a cucumber when negotiating (I was an emotional mess), and is a nice, nice person to boot. She's very realistic yet patient and will help you find what you're looking for. She also seems to know everybody--a boon for sure. I cannot recommend her highly enough. As I get to know this place, I will surely use her again. Go, Monica!

                    - Eileen - 2017
                  • As you will hear from anyone associated with Monica, she is an outstanding realtor, going above and beyond our expectations, exceptionally detail-oriented, communicative, honest, and kind without sacrificing business edge. We actually were renting a space in Los Osos and got connected with Monica through the owners. Monica brokered their home and they raved about the professional and personal relationship forged through the buying process. We recently moved here from South Carolina and relied heavily on Monica to guide us to the right home given a tight time constraint and budget. She honed quickly in on the home we wanted, facilitated and sealed a remarkable deal. Somehow she managed to keep us 100% updated throughout the negotiations without missing a beat. Without hesitation, she arranged to meet us on our schedule, met with an inspector at the house when we could not, found answers to questions we didn't even know we had! She's like the Modern Day Agatha Christie of Real Estate. She is undoubtedly the realtor you want to work with to find your home. We cannot even imagine going through the buying process with anyone else. Thanks Monica!
