I cannot recommend Monica highly enough to anyone buying or selling real estate in the Santa Barbara area; in fact, she is the only agent I would recommend. The successful and maximized sale of my property entailed numerous significant and unexpected challenges, necessitating an agent with maturity, skills, expertise, flexibility, a stellar reputation, wisdom, and compassion; qualities Monica embodies seemingly effortlessly. She met every challenge with grace, professionalism, efficiency, and most importantly, a deep and authentic humanity that reflects who she is at her core.

Monica Lenches is a rare find in the world of real estate! Her process is comprehensive, thoughtful, insightful, and completely unique. She truly understands her clients' needs, goals, and desires. Over the years I've had the opportunity to work with Monica on numerous projects. She is a consummate professional on every level who cares deeply about each and every one of her clients. I have been consistently impressed by her innate ability to pair people with their perfect homes, homes that meet their vision and suit their lifestyle. I've also been impressed by the “above and beyond” approach, Monica takes to marketing homes as well as preparing them for sale in just the right way. She is widely respected and incredibly knowledgeable, and she knows how to get things done!
Monica Lenches is fantastic. She is an expert and knows all you need to know about the Santa Barbara County real estate market. She puts in as much time as necessary to get the job done and is 100% dedicated to her clients. Not only has she helped me individually on several occasions, but she has also helped my clients. I trust her unequivocally and I highly recommend Monica, without hesitation.
Working with Monica to sell our home and purchase a new home was a gratifying and rewarding experience from inception to move out. She helped us to envision realistic goals for our new home and followed through with maximum effort to find it. Monica has the character, skill, insight, and experience to be an indispensable guide for anyone to lead them through this process and the resolution to follow through to the best result possible. Thank you kindly.
Monica is simply the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. We switched to her when we were moving to Santa Barbara from a large national firm, first looking for a rental then a house. We never looked back. She is not only knowledgeable, experienced, thorough, detail-oriented, and personable; she also invested time in us. She really spent time to make sure we got what we wanted, far from just a transaction. And she comes with a network of reliable referrals that money can't buy. And don't be surprised by the extra steps she would take just to make sure everything is working the way it should (personal meetings with sellers to present the offer, walking the property line, you name it). We feel very fortunate to have found her to help us and highly highly recommend her - a great caring person who happens to be a real estate expert in Santa Barbara.
Working with Monica Lenches and the team at Coast and Valley Properties was one of the best choices we made in our home-buying process. We could not have asked for a better experience. We are very detail-oriented people and have a lot of questions. Monica took the time to explain everything; there was nothing we signed that we didn't fully understand at first. We were told buying a home is the most stressful time in a person's life but, honestly, we didn't feel it. Monica makes sure every doubt/worry/stressor is managed before it feels overwhelming making the entire process a wonderful growth opportunity. We learned so much from her and are truly grateful that we had such a knowledgeable, caring professional by our side throughout this process.
Monica always exceeds expectations as she is a consummate professional, friendly, thorough, well-informed, and goes the extra mile to accomplish her client's goals. Not only that but she's just a joy to be around.
From finding the perfect home and closing escrow to selling our home years later, Monica supported us 100%, focusing on what we wanted. It was Monica's knowledge of the marketplace & willingness to go above and beyond that created a wonderfully nurturing experience for us. If you're interested in getting what you want, we highly recommend Monica for the job.
As a buyer, and later as a seller, with very specific needs, Monica listened to me from beginning to end. Her unwavering and tireless support, together with detailed and prompt follow-through, resulted in the purchase of a home I had not thought possible! Monica cares, and it shows in her extraordinary and professional manner of making things happen.
After a year of searching in this extremely competitive market, we met Monica. We were thrilled to find our beautiful new home shortly thereafter. Monica stayed with us before, during and especially AFTER the sale, exceeding our highest expectations of what a Realtor should be by making the buying of our home an enjoyable experience. Monica has earned our trust, admiration and heartfelt thanks.
