Thank you, Colleen, for all of your outstanding work during the emotional time of packing up and selling the family home and helping mom find a new home. It was your endless efforts, knowledge, guidance and support, and your pleasant way that got us through it. As our family had important and emotional decisions to make, you made it clear that you would get us through every step and you did. We were successful with the purchase of one home and the sale of another and - I feel like we gained a dear friend in you during the process.

My Fiance and I used Aundrea Pansecchi to purchase our first home. Aundrea was attentive, resourceful and well rounded in the buying/selling market today. We could not have asked for a better realtor then Aundrea! If you are looking to buy or sell, I suggest reaching out to her because you will not be disappointed.

We worked with Aundrea to purchase our first home. All of Monarch Realty goes above and beyond when it comes to their clients weather you are on the buying side or selling side. The advice, expertise and knowledge that this agent had was unmatched. We had a very seamless experience and we had many many questions as first time home buyers and we were met with reassurance and very responsive, and clear answers. Aundrea made sure that we were aware of all listings that met our criteria for homes we were looking at and scheduled all the showings for us and ensured we got to view them as quickly as

Patient, knowledgeable, and professional. My wife and I worked with Colleen for over 2 years (!) buying our home and selling my wife's condo. She came highly recommended to us from several friends who purchased their homes in North Adams. When I say patient, I mean this woman is an angel. We were certainly too picky in the beginning of our search but when I became pregnant and we needed a home ASAP Colleen helped us navigate the area well. She knows every code, every neighborhood, and certainly a lot of neighbors! Working with a professional that has so many connections and knowledge is immeasurable

Colleen helped us purchase our first home back in the fall and we had a really great experience. She made the process of buying our home go very smoothly, quickly, and honestly fun. As first time home buyers we didn't know much about what we were getting into, and Colleen supplied us with all the information and resources we needed and got answers to any questions we had about specific properties.
She was really great with communicating with us and keeping the process moving along efficiently. I also always felt that she really dedicated her time to us, and never made us feel rushed. She really
