We recently worked with Monica Franks to both sell our home and purchase a new one, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly easy to work with, always available to answer every question, and guided us through each step with patience and clarity.
Her expertise helped us secure top dollar for our sale, and she made what could have been a very stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We truly felt supported from start to finish.
Monica Franks is ranked the #1 Real Estate agent in Merced for good reason. We highly recommend Monica Franks Realtor to anyone looking to buy or sell a home—she’s exceptional at what she does!

I recently had the chance to work with Monica Franks to purchase my first home in Merced. I have to say, it was a very relieving experience for me to have her guide me through the process. I knew that purchasing a home could be a stressful and confusing process, but Monica made it very easy to follow.
Monica knows the Merced and Atwater markets inside out, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients. She was quick to answer my questions and gave me honest advice at every step. If you’re searching for a realtor in Merced County who combines experience with real dedication, I’d definitely recommend Monica Franks.
