Mona Koussa

Contact Mona

Mona is an experienced and detail oriented realtor. She is knowledgeable about our local area and all the mechanics of the real estate process. She has an excellent reputation in the industry and is respected by her colleagues. She is also caring and patient. I had to sell my parents property after they passed away. The timing was horrible as it was in the middle of a rough real estate market. However Mona helped me through each phase of the process and was critical to allowing the sell to go through. I could not have gotten through everything without her expertise.

Mona is very knowledgeable, efficient and made the process of selling my home as seamless as possible. Her team is fantastic and really made me feel comfortable.

Vanessa Miller

Seller & Buyer

Mona provided us with all the useful information regarding the present market conditions and those items necessary to properly price and sell our house. I especially appreciated that when push came to shove with one buyer, she had no problem in telling us that we could just not accept the offer and to hold on for the next one. Some agents would do anything to get you to sign the acceptance but Mona was definitely on our side. Everything we asked about was presented back to us in a timely and professional manner. We would definitely use her again.

Mona is an ambassador to your ideal home. She is the tops when it comes to knowing the market and picking up what is most important to you. She takes her time and is thorough. She is patient and has a wonderful personality and is just overall fun to work with in finding your home. She helped my husband and I find our home on more than one occasion and has never let us down. It would be not only remiss not to hire her, but prudent, if you have the opportunity.

Sherman & Heather

Buyers

Mona is the most thorough and thoughtful real estate agent I have ever encountered, not some days, but all the time. Buying property is extremely stressful and there are layers of unknowns to me as the buyer that she shared with me to make the transaction smooth, and where I felt educated and empowered. Mona answered my calls in the early morning and late evenings, she was there for my every question. I needed information for neighbors to cut a tree, she found it, I needed help remodeled she gave me a list of contractors she herself has hired, as well as helped me secure a great mortgage- she’s the one stop for all your real estate needs. Most importantly, she listens to you and your needs, and if she can’t help you she’ll get the right person too. I can’t say enough good things about Mona. I will definitely use her services again and refer others to her. Thank you Mona!

Mona and her team are an incredible group of professionals. Her expertise and knowledge far exceeded my expectations. She came to my home on a Sunday night with little warning that I needed to sell my home quickly to purchase another one and had it staged and list in 24 hours. Her follow thru and attention to details were very comforting to me. I highly recommend her and her team to list and sell your home. She will get the job done. She an expert in the Tri City Area. Any questions. You can contact me.

Michelle

Seller

Mona just helped me sell my house at the top price in my neighborhood in a very short time with only one open house. She and her team were willing to spend time identifying the best way to sell my house and did a very good job staging my house. I had go through 2.5 months of bad experiences with my past agent. When I met Mona, I was very exhausted and frustrated. However when Mona stepped in everything magically changed. Her excellent knowledge, fast customer response and warm personality made her a standout. I can totally tell the difference. She is efficient and always can find the right solution whenever there is a problem. And she is positive and calm. Working with her is always a pleasure.
