Positive: Professionalism CaLee has been our realtor for the purchase and sale of four properties over the years and I have nothing but the best things to say about her and her team. She is thorough, patient, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. We recently sold my mom's house which proved to be a difficult sale and CaLee marketed this property beautifully. I highly recommend her.

Amazing Experience CaLee is so amazing. She and her team are on top of everything. They are so knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. They take so much stress out of the home buying/selling process. We will definitely be using CaLee the next time we are in the market.

We had a great experience with CaLee on the buy and sell of our home.We started with CaLee by canvassing the luxury, high-end neighborhoods in coastal South County. She was able to help us to identify what we wanted and narrow our focus down to Dana Point and South Laguna Beach. So when the perfect house came available, we were able to jump on it right away. CaLee was able to convince the seller to ac...

CaLee is an excellent agent that takes a very transparent, professional approach to representing you. She is an incredibly knowledgeable realtor, a savvy negotiator, and was always responsive when we had needs. We really appreciated her ability to see the best characteristics of our home and help in getting it ready to show.

We have worked with CaLee and her team for several years through multiple transactions both as buyers and sellers. I can honestly say she is the best there is. Her knowledge of the market, her ability to find that is a perfect fit or promote a property for top dollar, and her ability to negotiate on your behalf is second to none.

CaLee and her team are in a class of their own! Top notch! We recently sold our home in Covenant Hills with CaLee and her team, and it was not an easy feat! Working with CaLee was a lifesaver, and we will forever be grateful. From the start, we could tell that CaLee was in a class of her own. She knew the home and neighborhood really well and made IMMEDIATE suggestions for changes that made a lot of sen...

Simply the BEST! I can’t recommend Calee and the entire team at Monarch more! Calee’s market knowledge, network, and sales process enabled us to sell our house in days at price we were thrilled with. Can’t wait to work with her on our next purchase!
