Monika has been helping my family with buying and selling homes for years, and I am so grateful to've worked with her in selling my family home in Florida. Not only was knowledgeable and efficient, her positive attitude truly made the process of selling my home much more enjoyable. I also really appreciated how well informed she kept me- despite me being out of state during this process. This is someone who genuinely cares about her clients and puts the work in to go above in beyond- would recommend her to anyone!

Sold a home
Selling my condo in Florida was not easy—it sat on the market for over a year—but Monika never gave up. She held open houses consistently, even when turnout was low, and stayed committed throughout the entire process with professionalism and determination.
What truly set her apart was the level of care and support she provided while I was out of state. She regularly checked on the unit, coordinated with contractors, and helped get everything in top shape for showings. She went above and beyond, and I couldn't have asked for a more reliable or hardworking agent.

Bought a condo · Northwood Harbor, West Palm Beach
Monika did a great job providing us what we needed and what we wanted in a home. Her communication was excellent and her advise was good. We were buying from out of state and she went to potential homes to video apartments we saw online. We bought our first condo through her and we finally decided to move from NY to Florida.

Sold a townhouse · Windsor Park, Jupiter
Its hard to put into words the dedication and personal attention Monika gave us in both buying and selling our house! Let me start by saying that in 2018, Monika was recommended by a friend who had also purchased a house out of state, as we were doing. Monika took care of everything to the last detail, which made the entire transaction seamless! And in March/2020, we had decided to sell this property and again Monika took care of every detail, especially due to the current travel issues that were in place. She was able to complete the sale without traveling out of state! Also, as a side note, Monika sold the house in 1 day! What else can you ask for! Premium service in every way. Thank you Monika for everything you did for us!!

Bought a single-family home · Old Palm, Palm Beach Gardens
We were from out of state and only had 2 days to look at homes. Monika was able to orient us to the area very quickly. She provided us with listings that were exactly our style. Monika also made sure that we got the most out of our short visit by suggesting places to visit and dine. During and after the sale, she has been instrumental in coordinating our contractors.

Sold a single-family home · Loxahatchee
Monika was a saint sent to me during a difficult time in my life – dealing with the lost of my mom and trying to work through all that was left behind. I could not have asked for someone so caring and kind. She was able to facilitate the final clearing out of the house, placing it on the market, selling it in less than 24 hours of listing, finding someone to board it up during the hurricane and the eventual closing process. She did all of this while counseling me through my grief and family issues that came up and she took care of herself and her family during this time. Also, I was many states away while this happened. I could not have asked for anyone better. A huge heartfelt thank you to Monika and her abilities.

Bought a condo · Palm Beach Gardens
Monika was a dream to work with! She made the whole process so easy for us. We were out of the area and she did all the legwork for us. She took us to see many properties so that we could make the best decision. Our seller tried to back out of our contract and Monika was persistent to make sure that the deal went through smoothly. I would highly recommend using Monika for all your real estate needs. At our closing she gave us the sweetest, most thoughtful gifts! She is a gem!!

Sold a single-family home · Paloma, Palm Beach Gardens
My brothers and i are out of state and needed to sell our elderly stepmother's home. Monika made it very easy for us by being our eyes and ears at the site, coordinating with contractors, shipping contents back to us, and even helping us sell a car in the garage without us having to make any trips to the area. She went way beyond the typical services of a real estate agent.

Sold a condo · North Palm Beach
Monika is a pleasure to work with. I could not recommend her any more highly. She is professional, smart, dedicated, supportive and resourceful. Even though I live out of state, the sale of my condo was as easy. I recommend her highly!

Bought a single-family home · Palm Beach Gardens
My experience with Monika as my agent was nothing short of wonderful… She was always honest and very knowledgeable about the zip codes we were interested in pursuing. Once we gave her an idea about what we were interested in, Monika provided us with a digital list of 20-30 properties or so to take a look at. Once we narrowed the list down, she was more than happy to take us to see all of our choices, and then some. She was quick to return phone calls or texts and really seemed to care about my wife and I as her clients. Once we settled on a property, Monika pretty much walked us through everything and was constantly in touch with us, our lender and our insurance agent. She took the lead and we were able to follow, even from quite a distance away. She made everything smooth and easy. Thanks to her, we now have a second home in a wonderful community and look forward to some special times ahead. We would highly recommend Monika to anyone looking for a genuinely caring and informed realtor.

Sold a townhouse · Villages of Palm Beach Lakes, West Palm Beach
I sold my property in Florida whilst living overseas with Monika's help!! She proved to be extremely hard-working, reliable, and always responsive to request for assistance or to answer my concerns and questions. She helped coordinate with contractors, repairs, and verified works done properly. In addition, Monika was also proactive and provided plenty of notice for paperwork I had to complete and kept me constantly updated on progress with regular emails. I have never seen a real estate agent work so hard or do so much in helping sell a house. As soon as the property was listed, we received over 10+offers in a matter of days, and sold over asking price! Ms. Phillips made my whole experience hassle -free for which I'm truly grateful! I've since recommended Monika to other friends, not only for her real estate expertise, but because she is a pleasure to work with!

Rented a townhouse · Palm Beach Gardens
Shortly after we discovered we had mold in our home, Monika heard of our situation. I was just beginning to look into ways we could repair and remediate our home. I stayed in the home for several days trying to repair the home and remove the mold. All the while, Monika was already providing my wife with listings and an alternative plan should we come to the conclusion it was too extensive of a problem. After spending three days working on the home, it was clear we needed to leave. Monika knew of several homes for lease in the area we wished to relocate and began negotiating on our behalf. Frankly, we were overwhelmed with the task of moving, cleaning and disposing most of our possessions and Monika took the process of locating a home off our plate. I have been in the mortgage business for years and Monika's genuine interest in finding the perfect home impressed me deeply. I would highly recommend Monika Phillips.

Rented a condo · Palm Beach Gardens
I had recently moved to Florida from Kansas, and found myself in the market for a rental. I took advice from friends, made phone calls, and checked online, even talking to 5 different realtors. After one meeting where I knew more about the listing than the agent showing the place, I began to think that there were no good realtors. Then, I met Monika. She was very responsive and helpful. I was originally put in touch with her by a friend of mine helping me look, and she tried to set up a walkthrough for a listing. When she found out the listing had been rented that same day, she found me another place, set up a walkthrough, and called around for some information about the listing before we met. She was prompt and punctual, upfront with the information, and extremely helpful in walking me through the process. Anything she didn't know she was willing to find out, and when I got the keys, she gave me a list of stores and restaurants in the area that I might want to go to. I cannot recommend Monika highly enough. If you're looking for a place, check with her. You won't be sorry.

Rented a home
Monika is a LIFE SAVER!!! I accepted a job in West Palm Beach and had 3 weeks to find an apartment and move down from NY. I received Monika's information from my recruiter down in Flordia. My budget was pretty tight considering the area, … The rental market at the time was super competitive and it was difficult to find something in my price range. I was in a panic, but Monika stayed cool and kept me under control. After bidding on 8 apartments, we found THE one!!! I am in a great location, a totally updated space and a great gated community. I can't thank Monika enough. She returned calls, emails and texts almost immediately and at any time of the day. I never felt like I was in the dark and I always felt like I was a priority in her eyes. When I learn the area better and look to purchase next year, Monika will be my only call to look for a home!!!

Rented a home · West Palm Beach
Monika is the best kept secret in south Florida. I've never dealt with such a friendly, responsible, and time-efficient realtor in my life. I would recommend her to anyone new in the area. I moved here for contract work and was able to get in a new house with all of the paperwork done in less than a week of finding my particular property. I never imagined a process being so easy!

Rented a home · Riviera Beach
Monika listened well to what we were looking for in a rental unit and only recommended those that were appropriate. She was very prompt in responding to all questions and since we were moving from out of state made sure all applications were processed on our behalf. Monika was very easy to work with and would recommend her to anyone.

Rented a single-family home · Rialto, Jupiter
Wonderful in every way! Monika helped us find a perfect rental home in complicated circumstances. We were moving from the Northeast to the Jupiter area and needed knowledgeable help to guide us through the process since we were not on the ground. Throughout the entire process, Monika was thorough, offered prompt responses to all of our questions (via e-mail and on the phone), and went the extra mile on many occasions. For example, she met vendors on our behalf when we could not be present; and showed us homes on our schedule, often with little advance notice. Monika showed great flexibility and dedication and it always seemed as if we were her primary concern/client. We are now in a wonderful rental that meets all of our needs, thanks to Monika. We would not hesitate to recommend Monika to anyone needing real estate services.

Worked with Monika
I honestly cannot say enough good things about my experience with Monika. Monika single-handedly made my move to Florida possible, that is not an exaggeration!! She made it possible for me to move into an amazing condo and made it happen so quickly and so easily. Monika is also very kind and she genuinely cares about you as a person! She is very responsive to any questions/needs and quickly communicates all updates and details. She is on top of everything and works hard to make sure everything works out in your favor. 10/10 A+ 5 stars

Worked with Monika
Monika was amazing!!! Moved from out of state and had constant communication before I arrived for a site visit. Once I landed I had a few free days prior to my appointment with Monika and was given a lot of local information from Monika about the best places to eat and drink in the area. She is a great local resource!!
During our appointment we drove all over the Jupiter/ Palm Beach Gardens area looking at places and getting an amazing amount of local information from Monika. Even after moving down here and getting settled in Monika kept in touch making sure everything was going well.
Highly recommend Monika for your real estate needs
