House 2 Home Realty, Monica McGinley, Broker

Over the last 17 years or so I have spent an uncountable amount of hours "doing" real estate. Real Estate in Southern Illinois one thing that I take great pride in being able to present to new buyers moving into the Marion, Herrin, Carterville, Johnston City, Goreville, Lake of Egypt, Carbondale and other surrounding areas. People always seem somewhat amazed when they get here for the first time at the amount of attractions, activities, and amenities we do have here. We have the most beautiful landscape in Illinois I am completely convinces. Ferne Cliff, Garden of the Gods, Lake of Egypt, not the mention both side of the Shawnee Wine Trail, Bald Knob, Giant City Park and much more. Even as I am typing this I am amazed and feel blessed to live in such a beautiful area, where we do have cultural experiences, yet a very hometown feel. I take my biggest pride in being able to help first time home buyers find their new home, and just love being able to watch them grow and get ready to sell that home and move to a dream home to raise a family in. I have been selling real estate for almost 17 years, but have worked in real estate for over 25 years. I worked for a title insurance company in two other states and learned what goes into abstracting and closing home loans. I enjoy helping buyers get qualified for their home loans and helping to determine which loan is best for them. Selling homes in Southern Illinois has been challenging over the last few years, but the market is gaining strength and we are on the rebound. I enjoy being able to tell sellers their homes will sell and showing them the strategy I use to help them get their homes sold, for a price acceptable to them. I love talking about real estate and have an opinion on most aspects of it. :) With that being said, please feel free to contact me anytime you need to have a conversation about real estate, buying, selling, or just a question, I would love to help.
