About Monica

🏡 Get to know Monica

Hi, I’m Monica Stefanescu—your tech-savvy bilingual Tampa Bay Realtor 🏡 always here to guide you home to Florida Sunny Shores! I speak English and Romanian.

After 35 years in IT as a program manager and agile transformation coach, I made the leap into real estate to guide people home with strategy, clarity and heart.

Why Real Estate? Simple - because I love helping people feel confident and supported as they make one of the biggest decisions of their lives.

I bring those same skills into every transaction - clear communication, attention to detail, negotiation strategies and calm problem solving.

And because I work with a limited number of clients at a time, I'm able to offer truly boutique real estate experience - personalized, strategic, and never rushed.

I relocated from Chicago to Tampa myself, so I understand the emotions, logistics and questions that come with a big move.

And if you are a Tampa Bay local looking to buy or sell - I've got your back, too.

Behind me is a full team you can count on:

A lender that explains the numbers in plain English.
An insurance pro who spots deal-breakers and knows which policies pass a 4 point inspections (Yes, you absolutely need this!).

An inspector who actually gives a damn - and protects your investment.
And a transaction coordinator who’s your behind-the-scenes expert, making sure every deadline, document, and detail is handled so your closing stays smooth and stress-free.

And YES, I LEARN FAST 😉

I show up, get answers and go all in for my clients.

Whether you’re buying solo or with help from a parent, partner, or friend, I work with everyone at the table to make sure you all feel confident, clear, and fully informed. I believe every buyer deserves a high-touch, boutique experience — no confusion, no pressure, just straight answers and smart support.

🏡 Let's get you HOME. Florida real estate expertise with Midwest heart—and a relentless focus on your goals.
