Working with Monica was truly an incredible experience from start to finish! We put our top floor condo with no outdoor space on the market Mid-Feb 2021 and were VERY nervous about how it would fare. Every realtor we spoke with said we should put it on the market for less than we paid, EXCEPT for Monica who had expert knowledge of the most recent sales and comps in our neighborhood. She was so strategic about our pricing, timing, impeccable pictures and the upgrades (incredible staging partners!) prior to showings. Once we started showing, we immediately got a pre-open house bid due to her deep connections in the SF market. We showed our home for on...

Monica helped me find and buy my condo in SF. We looked at two other places and we agreed the one I bought was the best. She was really great to work with throughout the process.

Monica is a true professional in every sense of the word. Her knowledge of the bay area market is unmatched! She was able to quickly understand our needs, assess and communicate the pros and cons of various properties and help us find our first home. We couldn’t have done it without Monica - her connections, knowledge, direct feedback, etc. We secured the property with a lower bid and were able to close in 21 days. Every step of the way we felt lucky to work with Monica. Thank you Monica for helping us navigate the home buying process with ease! We are so grateful.

Monica is the best. She knows everything about San Francisco real estate. Buying a first home is supposed to be hard, but Monica was made it incredibly easy. Couldn't recommend her more highly.

We feel so lucky to have Monica in our corner and in our lives. This is the third transaction she's overseen for us and the most tricky because of Covid and the market changing rapidly. She guided us with complete confidence and competence and because of that, we were able to sell our home quickly and seamlessly. She's a standout in her field- but most impressive is that she treats her more modest budget clients (like us) with the same attention and urgency as her higher net worth clients. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in San Francisco!

Monica was a real pro. We had previously used redfin on our first home purchase, and although that realtor was adequate, Monica was clearly in a different league. She has an in-depth understanding of the market and personal relationships with every listing agent we interacted with. She was patient, spending around 2 years working with us. Never felt pushed, she clearly had our interests in mind at all times. Most importantly, when we finally found our dream house, Monica was a skilled negotiator, helping us get our house below asking while another offer came in at the last minute.

We had a fantastic experience with Monica given the difficult market for condos. She was responsive, professional, and competent through all phases of the selling process and a real pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!

I have retained Monica on at least two occasions for residential real estate transactions. She is a knowledgeable, responsive, and consummate professional. She knows the market and solicits her client’s input so that she may satisfy their needs. I’m not an easy person to satisfy, but Monica and her team repeatedly exceeded my expectations.

Monica Pauli is the best real estate agent in San Francisco and in this household the title "Best Real Estate Agent in the World." My partner and I dreamed of owning a home in the City and Monica made that dream happen for us. It was our pleasure to work with such an impressive and sincere professional like Monica. She's highly knowledgeable, experienced, and dedicated -- we completely trusted her throughout the entire process. She won't let her client buy a house that is not the right fit; she focused our search and filtered out the noise, saving us so much time and energy. She and her team worked tirelessly to line up only homes that fit our needs...

Monica is outstanding. In an incredibly crowded and competitive market, Monica was able to understand what we needed and showed us the kind of inventory we only needed to see, and didn't waste time on the inventory that did not fit us. She is super smart. The house we bought had 28 disclosures out on the third day. We asked what did we need to do to get it, she told us, we did it, we got it. Her relationship with other brokers and the first republic made this easy and seamless. I've never seen anything like it. She's great.

Monica helped us buy a new home and sell our existing apartment. On our new home purchase, Monica was laser-focused on what we were looking for and got us in to see the home we ultimately bought early. She then provided excellent advice on appropriate pricing, and expertly negotiated on our behalf. However, she never pushed us past a price we were comfortable with. On selling our apartment, which was a challenge, she was incredibly resourceful, mining different potential buyers from her vast network of relationships. She also tried different strategies to accommodate our needs. We ultimately ended up with a deal we were happy with. Monica is incredi...

Monica helped me successfully sell my condo! Given Covid, everything was uncertain - how to sell, how the market would respond, etc. Monica walked me through the entire process and gave me the confidence to prep the home and bring it to market. We successfully sold the home quickly and I got an offer that I was very happy about!

Monica has been working with us for over 15 yrs on both the buying and selling sides. She knows the market and trends inside and out in addition to the players. She is incredibly responsive, authentic and always prioritizes her client's best interests and goals. Monica has become a close friend through the years and would recommend her to anyone looking for a true partner in buying or selling a home.

Monica represented us on the purchase of our co-op. And, she has been a great resource as we have investigated other properties to buy. We frequently recommend her to friends. Her deep understanding of the real estate market, as well as her ability to listen to her clients’ needs, makes her a tremendous asset to have on your team. She’s smart, a savvy negotiator, with excellent instincts based a breadth of experience. She’s the real deal: a trustworthy professional who makes herself available to her clients, is motivated to achieve the best outcomes, has a broad network, cares about her clients and, lastly, is someone with whom working is fun. That...

Monica is smart, professional, knowledgeable of the market with a great network of buyers. She has all the necessary tools to help you buy or sell a home. We have brought and sold 2 homes with Monica. We highly recommend her.!

We have had the pleasure of working with Monica on the sale of both of our homes and the purchase of two homes. Throughout both the buying and selling process, Monica could not have been more knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. She is so easy to work with and knows how to sell your home as quickly as possible as well as find your dream home. There is no one that knows the Bay Area market like Monica and we will certainly trust her to represent us again in the future!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Monica Pauli when looking for a condo. This was my first "RE purchase" and from day 1, Monica helped me find the right condo in the right neighborhood for the right price. When I finally decided on the building I wanted to reside in, the condo I was looking to purchase was well out of my price range. Monica was able to secure the deal for me by working closely with the listing agent and handling the negotiations and closing like a pro. Although there were numerous offers, she was able to seal the deal for me for 300K under asking. I still, to this day, do not know how she did it! If the time ever comes wh...

I have worked with Monica several times now: as both buyer and seller. She is amazing! I couldn't imagine working with anyone else. Monica is extremely skillful and brings years of experience that will get the deal done. If you're buying, she will help make sure your offer stands out from the rest. If selling, she brings a lot of research to the table on at what price to list and suggestions on home improvements that should be done before listing. During my most recent experience, I was very grateful for and impressed by Monica's many connections to stagers, designers, hardwood floor experts, painters, etc. The property needed some love and Monica h...

Monica Pauli is simply the best agent you will find in the Bay Area. She was trained by Malin Giddings, the grand dame of S.F. real estate to pay attention to every single detail in a real estate transaction. As a native of the Bay Area and a member of a successful real estate family, Monica knows the ins and outs of every neighborhood. As a real estate developer of extraordinary properties, I have bought and sold over a dozen properties with Monica. She is the agent you want on your side in any negotiation. Plus, she is fun, spirited, down to earth and a pleasure to work with. There is a reason she is ranked at the top of her profession.

Monica is hands down the best real estate agent in the city of San Francisco, period. Probably the best in all of the bay area. I can say this because I've bought two places with her and sold another and the outcomes for all were far beyond what I would have ever expected. She showed me only the places that made sense, when I wanted to make an offer she guided me (and the second time around my wife and I) through the process in a way that was transparent and her relationships with other brokers involved helped ensure that we were treated incredibly well and had the upper hand each time. Can't recommend highly enough.

Monica was energetic and knowledgeable throughout the process of buying our home in SF. Not only did she help to identify the home, but she also negotiated hard with the seller to secure a better deal, and provided really useful information about the local real estate market and the pitfalls of buying, particularly regarding renovation risks and costs. I’d highly recommend Monica to anyone looking to buy a home in SF or Marin County.

I met Monica Pauli in April 2013 through an employer relocation services office. Monica was relentless in working with us and our limited escrow deadline showed us through 20+ viewings to land us in our perfect home. She went above and beyond recommending banking and mortgage sources to expedite the process. We were so confident in her knowledge and abilities we called on her to sell the very home she found for us selling it in a mire 72 hours. And Monica put us in touch with an associate in her company in the city where we relocated. We have stayed in touch socially since we met her 7 years ago which says volumes about her character and dedication...

Monica Pauli has been represented me both as a seller and as a buyer in the past 20 years. She listed my last 3 three houses and all sold within a week as soon as they hit the market. She also helped me to buy my last three homes. She's very knowledgeable and reliable. She returns my phone calls within minutes. She is also very resourceful, has referred me to reputable professionals I needed during the transitions from selling, buying & moving. I totally trust her, knowing that I am in good hands. Monica is very professional with a personal touch, I feel she cares and treats me as a client as well as a good friend. Highly recommended her

Monica Pauli is a true professional, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! We have trusted Monica with the purchase of two homes in the Bay area, and her local knowledge and strong negotiation skills were critical in ensuring that we ended up with the right home at the right price. She makes the process of looking for a home, making an offer, and then the inspection process seamless and as stress-free as possible. We also worked with Monica to sell our home, and she took such great care in staging our home, photographing the home, and working with the buyers. She handled the details and just let us focus on our upcoming move. Most importa...

Monica is the ultimate professional. From our first meeting to discuss the potential sale to every step of the process, Monica makes it a pleasure explaining every step of the way. Hands down I would suggest Monica to anyone selling or buying and I have passed her name countless times. Thank you Monica for everything!
