Monica Hsu

I joined Podley Properties as an independent residential and commercial real estate broker in 2010 specializing in properties in the San Gabriel Valley, where I call home. A few neighborhoods that I have serviced in the past decade include: Pasadena, La Cañada Flintridge, San Marino, Arcadia, and South Pasadena. Since 2012, I have consistently been a Top Producing agent at my brokerage.

I owe part of my success as a Realtor® to my ability to speak and read Mandarin, many of my clients are Chinese nationals, abroad and locally. As a longtime resident of the San Gabriel Valley, I am able to share my intimate knowledge of the communities in the area. Everything from private and public school systems to local amenities, I use in my approach in finding the perfect home for my clients. Many of my most successful transactions have begun with long distance communications with prospective buyers or sellers; and due to my knowledge of the minutiae of Real Estate transactions, I have been able to close many sales without having owners or buyers present. With the rapid changes COVID-19 have brought on our personal and professional lives, I am no stranger to remote work! My priority always being my clients’ well being and safety.

I always bring to my clients the ability to present their property in the best possible way by leveraging home staging, great photography, excellent copywriting, and an in-house Marketing Department to provide support. For those selling a property, I provide simple ideas and concepts on improvements that could bring more value to the property and identify staging options to maximize their interior space and design, as well as landscaping options to create more curb appeal for the exteriors of the home. I identify a pool of prospective buyers and use my marketing strategy to fit the needs of my clients.

By taking the time to get to know the needs and wants of my clients, I always keep their needs and tastes in mind. This approach has proven successful in representing clients at all income levels. I genuinely enjoy working with people and am able to build rapport easily by being a good listener and valuing their individual needs. I am successful at contract negotiation, mediating conflict, and have always come highly-recommended by those who I have worked with.

“Thanks to Monica we sold our house in 6 days after launch. With multiple offers no less! Monica is the most incredibly supportive and compassionate agent ever! I say supportive because everything she does is to support our needs and goals in putting our house on the market. It’s not about her. It’s about us. I say compassionate because she listens and gauges our emotional state and if she feels we are not ready to move forward or have second thoughts she is the first to let us know that we may need to take a pause. Because of this we have never felt rushed or pressured into making any decisions. She answered all of our calls and texts immediately and made us feel that we were the most important people in her life at that moment. The selling process was so smooth and went totally according to her predictions! No surprises whatsoever! We felt “in the loop” every step of the way! It was truly a positive and smooth experience! Thank you Monica for everything!!”

“Monica sold our house in one weekend. Taking into consideration the Covid virus at this time, Monica was still able to advise, show and close on the sale of our house. (and even getting more than the asking price!) We can’t say enough of Monica’s professionalism, expertise and support on the sale of our house. Her insights of what needs to be improved or how to stage our house was invaluable. I would say that is why the house sold so quickly. We would strongly recommend Monica Hsu if you are considering selling your house. You won’t regret it”

“First impression and meeting with Monica was kind of casual business with no sales pitch but she listens to what my wife and I required. She emphasize our safety by wearing mask/shoe covers for people viewing our house and sanitize the house after. She went above and beyond in helping us for the preparation and putting our house in the market. Selling during pandemic times was tough but she was able to connect to a right realtor/buyer to appreciate our house and selling it faster! We highly recommend her because she really cares about her clients and treat them like family; very trustworthy, efficient and very attentive to our needs. We are greatful and blessed to have worked with Monica! “

“Monica has been our neighbor for many years and she was the only one I considered when it came time to sell our home. I always noticed that her homes would sell very quickly because they were priced right. We met to discuss the right time to sell because of the Covid-19 situation, we took her advise when she said “put the house on the market now”. Her prep work including the photography was outstanding.
Because of our concerns about having people in the house, we had a few restrictions. She was very accommodating and did everything we asked. She always looked out for our interest. And we felt safe during this health crisis. She found the right buyer and we sold our home in a 2 days.Did a great job in keeping us informed during the escrow process. Monica will do a great job in selling your home, be ready to move.”
