5 Reasons to Love Hiring A Real Estate Pro [INFOGRAPHIC]

Author: Monica Foster

"Love your work and you'll never work a day in your life" . . . for me, that statement says it all. I love what I do, helping others achieve their real estate goals with honesty, integrity and responsiveness. I am not just a real estate agent, I am a BROKER Associate, Certified Residential Specialist, Accredited Buyer Representative, Certified Home Marketing Specialist, Certified New Homes Specialist, Certified Distressed Property Expert, and Certified Negotiation Expert with RE/MAX Space Center and a REALTOR® - a member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR). This means I work to a higher standard of education and professionalism that translates to an extra level of service for my clients. I closed over 100 transactions in 2013 and have received the Five Star Real Estate Agent award, a honor bestowed upon 7% of area realtors. Also, I have been featured in Forbes Magazine, Top Agent Magazine, Homes and Land Magazine, and I received the RE/MAX Hall of Fame award for career production. I also like to give back to the community and help others. I am a frequent contributor and sponsor for various charities including the Homes for Heroes Foundation, Communities in Schools Bay Area, March of Dimes, Children's Miracle Network, Kid's Wish Foundation, Susan G. Komen Foundation, Happy Hill Farm Academy, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
