In early 2019, I made the decision to retire from my career in health administration and move to Aiken. Admittedly, I thought I had a pretty good idea of the type of house and neighborhood I wanted, but I also wanted to keep all aspects open.  I was living out of state and still working full time, so the house finding process would have to take place via phone and computer with hopefully 1 or 2 trips.  It also required a type of time balance, because I did not want to purchase a house until I was ready to move, which was several months away.  Yes, I had no idea how fast the real estate market was in Aiken!

However, Monica did know. Monica was the perfect agent for me.  She understood that even though I was focusing on Woodside, I really did want to learn about the different neighborhoods.  She also knew that finding a house is a process, the original description likely changing as the investigation becomes more focused.

During the six-month process, Monica sent me pictures and videos of houses. The trips were time efficient and effective. She remained calm as offers were made and lost.  When we found the perfect house, we both ‘just knew it’ as soon as we entered the front door!

The purchase and closing process was communicated and executed well.

As the real estate agent, Monica was knowledgeable, organized and communicated well. As important, she has kept in touch since the house purchase, introducing me to several new residents!

Buying my first home had me slightly nervous at first, especially being such a young person, but Monica helped me navigate the house buying process and helped make the process smooth and low-stress. Monica really did care about making sure I got the house that I wanted as easy as possible. It was such a great experience we still catch up regularly!

Thank you

My husband and I just moved to Aiken from out of state. We found a house of interest on an internet real estate site in Aiken. My daughter who already lives in Aiken referred us to Monica Maldonado and associates. We would not have successfully made this move if not for all the excellent, diligent efforts made by Monica. She answered all our questions promptly. She was a great go between the seller’s agent and us. We were very grateful for all her efforts in helping us is buy our new home.

Thank you

When we first started working with Monica at Woodside-Aiken Realty, we didn’t know much about Aiken or Woodside Plantation. Kathy would go online, scout out properties to view, send them to Monica with the dates we’d be there, and Monica would set up appointments and add a few more that fit our criteria.  Kathy knew what she was looking for, but it turned out that she didn’t know exactly what Greg really wanted in a property. Three trips and probably 30 properties later, we found a home we love. We tell our friends that the warmth and charm of Aiken makes us feel like we’ve been dropped into a Hallmark movie.

Monica was great to work with and a great resource for restaurants and services we would need. We will always feel like she was the first friend we made in Aiken.

We feel so fortunate to have met Monica during our home search! She is truly the best!!! She was there for us every step of the way, and we really appreciate all the help she has given us. She really exceeded all our expectations of an agent, and we always felt so comfortable and well taken care of. We thank her for helping us make our dream of becoming homeowners a reality. We really can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for our family.

With sincere thanks

Monica is not a high-pressure person. She listens to what you want and then matches you to what you described. Along with showing us houses she took us on a tour of Aiken to show us where we would be living. Since we’re not from this area we thought that was very helpful. So yes, if you have Monica as your Realtor you are good!

A few years ago, my brother-in-law moved from Aiken to North Carolina and settled there with his new wife. He had been unable to sell his home in Aiken over that time period, and since he had become legally blind and partially disabled, he granted my wife (his sister) POA to handle this matter for him. My wife interviewed a few realtors and immediately felt very comfortable with Pat. Pat was attentive and sensitive to our situation, and she came prepared with data and great advice that allowed my wife to make a good decision regarding the pricing and marketing of the home. My wife and I live out-of-state, and throughout the process, Pat continuously went the extra mile in helping my wife to make sure that certain repairs were completed and issues followed up on. Toward the end of the sales process, things got a little tricky with an unusual buyer situation, but Pat helped my wife to successfully navigate what could have been a contentious outcome, and I am pleased to report that the closing was a great success! Pat’s Southern charm and easy going demeanor mask the hard work that she does behind the scenes. She is a true professional and among the best I’ve ever seen. In the world of personal service, there is no one better than Pat! I wish I lived in Aiken so that I could purchase a home from her!

Pat Roberts has been an absolute treasure to find! Since buying my own home with her in 2008 I have purchased three rental properties.Anytime I was considering looking for a investment property there was never a doubt who I would call .Pat was was always available and always easy to reach by email or phone.I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Pat Roberts is a wonderful agent: responsive, honest, knowledgeable. She is a true professional and helped me throughout the process. She was always there when I had questions and made sure that I had answers in a timely fashion. She knows Aiken and is an excellent guide to its beauty and diversity.

Pat is the absolute best realtor I’ve ever known. She was so helpful. Her knowledge of real estate is invaluable. Her integrity is unquestionable and without her, I couldn’t have been more pleased. She is the best you will ever find anywhere, and I am so thankful to have spent time with such a kind and trusting realtor.

Pat was wonderful to work with. She understood the special needs our family had in selling our mother’s home and went to great lengths to get us the perfect outcome. i would use her and her staff again in a heartbeat. The best real estate experience we have ever had!!

I have used Pat for several transactions over the last 30 years and she has always proven herself to be a consummate professional. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thank you Pat for taking care of my listing.

Pat is very professional and personable. She was extremely helpful as we prepared our home for market. She also provided feedback from showings. The selling market is stressful but she did a wonderful job of navigating us through the entire process. If you are looking for honesty, professionalism and results, Pat is the perfect agent for you!

Our family has moved frequently in the past several years and Monica is hands down the best Realtor we have ever utilized. Monica is extremely responsive and is an expert in her field. She quickly understood what we were looking for in a home and her recommendations were spot on. When we encountered some unusual issues in the home buying process, Monica worked extremely hard and efficiently to help resolve them. I highly recommend Monica for any real estate buying and selling needs!
