Patty’s Place is a hidden gem in Pender County! The menu variety is impressive, and I was thrilled to find genuine gluten-free options! The food itself was absolutely amazing, and the service was friendly and attentive from start to finish. Oh, and did I mention they serve coffee? It truly has everything you could want. Highly recommend Patty's Place to anyone looking for a great meal in the area!

Some days look like...

- 🌊 Surfing at sunrise
- Being in the office by 9 (coffee in hand of course)
- Working from my front porch in the late afternoons previewing historic homes and searching all resources trying to find my buyers a home ($400-700k, no neighbors, no HOA, minimum 2200 sq feet and preferably in Burgaw or Rocky Point❤️)

Pender County keeps giving me every reason to love this life...God is so good and I truly love what I do and being able to help others.

If you're ready to plant roots on the Carolina coast, let's talk. 🏡

If you’ve been thinking about moving to Pender County, here are a few things you should know before you do: 👇

1. The best coffee shop is Brown Dog Coffee Company.

2. The best breakfast/brunch is Patty’s Place

3. The best casual spot for lunch is Bandanas American Grill

4. My fave place to take visitors is the Moores Creek National Battlefield – easy trails, pretty bridges, dog-friendly, and doesn’t take all day.

But I also really need to tell you I am a big fan of the Blueberry Fest in Burgaw… it is HUGE, tons of food, live music, vendors and blueberries, duh! (And it’s hot—this event is in June 😅)

5. If you're a shopper then you must stop by The Old Farm Shed!

I am also a frequent flyer at Burgaw Antique Place, East Coast Collective, and Humphrey Farms.

6. The best hardware store (according to my husband)… is Lanier Hardware

But the thing I love most about Pender County is… you get more for your money.
More space, more privacy, and less HOA!

You can literally see our little town growing… and at a nice steady pace I can appreciate.

If you’re looking for slower mornings, more space, and small-town living, you might love it here.

Thinking about making a move? Feel free to shoot me a message… I’d love to show you what life could be like here in Pender County.

You can sell your home without a realtor in Pender County. You can also sew your own stitches without a doctor.🩺😜

Have you ever professionally marketed something? (Posting to Facebook does not count.)

"But my Zestimate says..." — Zillow has never been inside your home. Do not trust that number.🚫

Have you ever written a legal contract, negotiated a low appraisal, or built a comparable market analysis from scratch to submit to a bank for a reconsideration of value?

If you're a numbers person, here's what the data actually says:

- FSBO homes sold for a median of $360,000 vs. $425,000 for agent-assisted sales...an 18% gap. Even after paying commission, agent-represented sellers walked away with ~$40,000 more in net proceeds.

- More than half of FSBO sellers describe the process as stressful. 47% say it brought them to tears. 43% admitted to making legal mistakes.

- 64% of FSBOs say they did not achieve their desired sale price.

- 60% of FSBO sellers already knew their buyer…a family member, friend, or neighbor. Meaning the true cold-market FSBO is even rarer and riskier than the numbers suggest.

The right agent keeps you from missing opportunities, overpaying, and getting blindsided by the fine print...and most of that work happens long before you ever see a closing table.

Hi, I’m Monica, just a girl who loves where she lives + your go-to for real estate when you’re ready to do this the right way.

If you’ve ever thought about selling and just don’t know where to start, I’m always a DM away.

10 things you should know before working with me.

1. I always have a coffee/Matcha in my hand… it’s basically a personality trait at this point. ☕️

2. There is always sand in my car…no matter how many times I clean it ️ I’ve accepted my fate.

3. I will 100% miss my turn… even with GPS telling me exactly where to go (if you’re following me for real estate, I might get us both lost lol).

4. My dog runs my life, and I’m ok with that.

5. I love Asian food…specifically curry and pad Thai (I eat it way too often).

6. Mystery/thriller books are my fave…but I always get scared later and think there is something in my house that night.

7. I LOVE singing in the car…but that is a private performance you will never attend.

8. If it’s nice outside, I’m outside ☀️ when it’s cold, I’m not ok.

9. Pilates + walks = me trying to balance out #10.

10. I love sweets, and I’m never too full for dessert.

There's a little place in Burgaw that feels like home, the moment you walk in.

Humphrey Farms, Inc. is where you'll find rich local coffee, grass-fed meats, farm-fresh eggs, homemade jams & jellies, signature rubs & sauces, and creamy milkshakes that’ll make you smile.

Check out the Ladies' Thrift Boutique, discover local artisan finds, and top it all off with a scoop of ice cream.

It’s the perfect place to find little gifts and the kind of atmosphere that just feels homey. Go check them out and tell them Monica sent you! ❤️
