Based in the Waynesville / Canton, NC area Monica joined the mountain life
in 2009, when she and her husband purchased their first NC mountain home in the sky, on the lower ridge of Cold Mountain. Initially, a second home and vacation rental, but as of 2018, their permanent residence. Her love of the mountains and real estate led her to the Cottonwood Properties Team at Keller Williams Professionals in the summer of 2019.
Monica grew up in Washington, DC, attending Vassar College and making her
first career in the city servicing mortgage lenders, working for Fannie Mae. She worked in the mortgage banking world for 8+ years, before pivoting to digital marketing and sales. From Fannie Mae to Prudential Home Mortgage; Sallie Mae to running SunTrust.com, she’s a pro in the business details and possesses deep sales and negotiation talents. Leveraging all of this into a real estate career was an easy and logical choice for Monica. She loves housing and is energized by a happy client and a job well done. Her friends have repeated the call… “what took you so long?!”
Outside of work, Monica loves hiking and walking her driveway (1.8 miles!)
with her 3 rescue pups, Maya, Willie and Olive. A perfect day starts with obsessing over a farm-to table recipe using local bounty from the Ten Acre Garden and cooking with her family all around the kitchen… a glass of chardonnay in hand and Billy Holiday serenading the crew.
