Monica Franks

was licensed at the end of 1999 and began my career as a Realtor at Century 21 Newlin Real Estate in Atwater. Since my dad was a Century 21 agent, it seemed a natural choice. In the early 2000's, I specialized in listings and marketing homes for sale. My goal has always been to represent all clients to suit their needs! Since then, the small office I worked for was purchased by Century 21 M & M and Associates in 2002, and then in 2007 we moved from Atwater to Merced. Now our offices are now the #1 Century 21 Office in the WORLD for the last 3 years! In the early 2000s the use of the Internet took hold, followed by a housing boom and then the burst of the " housing bubble.aEUR? A Realtor's job description dramatically changed! I continued assisting sellers, many to avoid foreclosure and complete short sales, and has also added banks and asset management companies to my list of sellers, entities that were unheard of in my early years as a Realtor. I continues to help sellers obtain the best price for their properties, in their time frames needed and negotiate the best terms possible to suit them. I have successfully helped local buyers and out of town investors navigate through the processes and market trends of short sales and foreclosures. It's an ever changing marketaEUR|.I am enjoying more changes as we continue to see a decline in bank owned homes, foreclosures and short sales, along with an increases in property values and a healthy, stable market. I look forward to serving new clients and becoming your life long real estate consultant.
