Selling our Father-in-law's home was so pleasant and stress-free with Monique Carlton. Any issues that might arise, she had solutions for. We highly recommend Monique to anyone venturing down the home-selling road!

We worked with Monique Carlton, who went above and beyond to show us homes all over the county.
We ultimately found our dream home, a Queen Anne Victorian, in beautiful San Luis Obispo’s Historic District.
Since then, we’ve purchased 4 homes using Monique. Her knowledge, experience and expertise were invaluable and we recommend her to everyone who’s house hunting in the area.

I have known Monique Carlton for over 11 years now. She has been my realtor for 6 different transactions, both selling and buying.
She always has gone above and beyond her duties ro help me with anything that I needed done, even previewing houses for me to buy when I was living out of state. She found me one which I didn't see till I moved back to California and I was able to move right in. I have greatly appreciated everything she has done for me throughout all of our dealings.
We have become great friends in all this time, Which I truly value.
I would highly recommend her as a Realtor whether you need to buy or sell, she is just the greatest person to work with.

Working with Monique was an absolute pleasure. There are many qualities, skills, and experience that go into being an excellent real estate professional. Effective negotiation skills, integrity, in-depth knowledge of neighborhood trends, and a high-quality professional contractor network, all of which are needed in San Luis Obispo, and which Monique possesses in spades. Complement those skills with her lovely demeanor, continued responsiveness, and acute ability to foresee and avoid possible pitfalls, all of which allow her to provide a seamless transaction. My Escrow closed over a year ago, but I still reach out to Monique when I need questions answered or referrals for contractors - and she is still right there supporting me. I can't say enough good things about her and the safety and security she provides for her clientele.

My family and I were living overseas ten years ago and were interested in moving to the central coast. We called a random sales person on Varian Ranch and he advised us we needed to speak with a realtor and he said. "I have the perfect person." It was Monique Carlton. Monique has been our realtor/friend ever since. Not only has she helped buy and sell multiple properties, but also assisted many of our friends. The reason she has such a loyal following is because she is very knowledgeable, thorough, and professional. She is also very diligent, extremely hard working and a delight to work with. Whenever we have friends that are interested in moving to the area we recommend Monique Carlton, she is the perfect realtor.

Monique’s patience allowed my husband and I the time to find the house we both could agree on. Her knowledge of the area along with her enthusiasm gave us the confidence to persevere during our search. When we found our home, Monique’s professional negotiation skills secured us a great purchase price.
We now consider Monique a personal friend.

We met Monique Carlton last summer while on vacation in San Luis Obispo. At the time, we were living in Southern California and decided we might like to have a second home at the Central Coast. We asked some people who live in the area if they knew a good Real Estate Agent, and Monique came very highly recommended! I called her right away and we set a time to meet. We found Monique to be so very personable and knowledgeable of the real estate business and the area. Within about a week, we had decided to sell our home in So Cal and move to the Central coast full time! Monique immediately put together a list of homes that fit what we were looking for. Long story short, in less than 1 month, we opened escrow on our new home. We absolutely love the Central Coast and since we are new to the area, and Monique is so well-connected, she is such a great resource for everything we need to get settled, i.e. Dentist, flooring installer, handyman, interior decorator, and more! And, the cherry on top is having lunch with Monique when her schedule permits. She is a true treasure in every sense of the word!!

I am writing on behalf of Monique Carlton, I have known Monique for over 8 years, we met through a relative while I was thinking of moving to the Central Coast. It was her dedication and professionalism that attracted me to her skills as a long time realtor in the area my husband and I were considering moving to. I had never met her and soon became friends as we went through dozens of homes springing up in 2016, only to find out the market was very intense that year and other people were informing us that it would take a year before we would even come close to finding a house in the area.

It was Monique's dedication that surprised us and the way she followed through for months and even took our dog along to visit open houses
back and forth from Lake Tahoe on weekends to search for our retirement home. We became close friends and sooner rather than later, she found us the perfect home in San Luis Obispo, only a few short months passed and we were closing escrow. We never could have gone through this ordeal without her tenacity and her local knowledge of the San Luis Obispo area and surrounding areas, she was easy to talk to, no pressure sales, she just knew the right house would present itself when the time was right. She got to know what we were truly going to be happy with and did not waste time showing us homes out of our price range or locations that would not work for us. We made the transition from the mountains to the beach smoothly and effortlessly with her assistance and kindness shining through just at the right moments. IT was a complete pleasure working with her throughout the entire process and are very grateful to her to this day.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to let you know how grateful we were to have her on our side.

Carol & Rich Guenther

While viewing an open house in San Luis Obispo several years ago, we were beyond impressed by the realtor showing the home, Monique Carlton. Her knowledge of the home, the home’s history, all of the the nooks & crannies, the possible price limits & financing, the current interest rates, the sellers’ time frame, and absolutely any questions we had were clearly answered.

It was obvious that she knew her stuff and along with all of that, was this warm and friendly smile and a feeling of no pressure. We took note and knew that when it came time to purchase any home, she would be the one realtor we would call.

Her experience, integrity, knowledge, great eye for value, and listening ear over the following years was unsurpassed. Monique knew our choice of locations, our preferred style, and price range. Whenever a listing came along that fit us, she would send it our way or give us a call.

When the perfect fit did come long, the market was competitive & hopping… decisions had to be made quickly. Without Monique’s quick communication, knowledge of the home, terms for the sale, experience & impeccable communication, along with the respect for her within the real estate community & financial institutions, we honestly believe that we would not have been able to have won the bid.

Within days we were able to purchase our dream home in Santa Margarita. Monique had already put everything in place to sell our former home quickly. Pictures of the home, selling details, and pricing were ready and waiting to be listed. Our home sold within three days, and arrangements were made so that the sale of our home & the new home closed escrow simultaneously. We bought, sold, and moved with three weeks and could not be more pleased.

She is absolutely the best and has become a treasured friend as well.
