Mona made the selling process very easy and stress-free. My husband and I fully trusted her throughout the entire process. She was always available to answer our questions and guide us in the right direction with the best interest of our family in mind. I am still blown away at how quickly we received a full price offer! I would highly recommend using Mona as your selling agent.
Thank you!

“Thank you, Mona.” We gave Mona a 5 star rating for guiding us through the process of selling our home. She has vast experience in Cape St. Claire.
Our transaction was seamless and we would not hesitate to refer her to our friends, family, and neighbors!

Being a first time home buyer is nothing less than intimidating. We were so fortunate to have Mona to guide us through this process to make it less daunting. Mona's patience with our million questions put us at ease, as well as her knowledge and confidence throughout the entire process. Mona is an excellent negotiator and we were very lucky to have her on our side. Mona is a real treasure and we would recommend her to anyone.

We met with Mona LaCovey of Re/Max, and placed our house on the market on January 18. We received an offer 19 days later and went to settlement on March 10. We had no idea the process would be that fast. Now we're in Florida close to our daughter, granddaughter, and son-in-law "living the life." Thank you, Mona and Re/Max, for helping to make this happen.

I have known Mona for 18 years and she has been my realtor for five buying and selling transactions. I have had to move often and each time have trusted her experience and advice to achieve great success. Most recently she sold my home in the Cape, receiving a contract on its first day on the market. Mona's knowledge of the area, the market, her network of professionals, and the challenges of guiding the process is unmet.
Thank you, Mona!

I first met Mona over 20 years ago and over the years our paths have crossed. When it was time to put my house on the market I called her. I had set in my mind that I would interview 2 realtors and make a choice. After meeting with her I cancelled my other appointment. She has been nothing but top notch and professional. With her experience she has guided me through the process with ease. When I called the title company to supply them with the information they needed the title agent stated that I have a top notch realtor. I would use Mona again and highly recommend her!

Pleased to Refer Mona!
We were referred to Mona by my dad who had worked with Mona . Mona sold his house in less than two weeks. After putting our house on the market, Mona also sold ours in two weeks. During the search for a new home, Mona was right there with us during the entire process and made us feel like family. Mona's experience and skills really shined during the negotiation process with the purchase of our new home. We are pleased to refer Mona to all of our friends and family.

It was a pleasure to have Mona as our real estate agent. We would highly recommend her. She offered excellent advice, answered every question and helped us make informed decisions. Mona is very professional, attentive to detail and has extensive knowledge of the local real estate. We are very happy with our home and couldn't have been more pleased with the service
Alberto & Rosaly
We found out that we had to move and we weren't at all prepared. As we went through the process of finding a home, Mona indulged us, considering that we initially had a huge scope of area we were interested in. Some times we saw 11 houses in a day spread from Arnold to Crofton!
When we finally found the house we wanted to buy, Mona helped us to put together and submit our bid even though it was a holiday.
With the perpetual ups and downs that came with buying this particular house, including difficult sellers, hidden house problems, and 5 months of waiting, Mona had our backs through it all, fighting on our behalf and encouraging us the whole way through! The foreclosure was worth it.
We are so glad to move into our first house and make it our home!
Thanks Mona!

Why You Should Think About Listing Prices Like an Auction’s Reserve Price
