Monica Harmse

I’ve worked with a few realtors before, but my best experience was with Monica, a realtor. She guided me through the home-buying process, making everything smooth and stress-free. Monica is incredibly knowledgeable about the market, always available to answer questions, and ensures you understand every step. She took the time to find the perfect home for me—never rushing or pressuring me into a decision. She’s professional, easy to work with, and truly looks out for her clients. Whether you’re buying or selling, I highly recommend her.

Before working with Monica, I spoke with a few other realtors, but her approach stood out. She took the time to understand what I was looking for and made the entire home-buying process smooth and stress-free. Monica was always professional, enthusiastic, and realistic about expectations. She never pressured me into a decision and made sure I was well-informed every step of the way. In the end, I found exactly what I was looking for and couldn’t be happier. Her dedication and expertise made all the difference.

My aunt was looking for a home in Port Moody, and we worked with Monica to find the place. She was patient, knowledgeable, and really listened to what my aunt needed—a quiet neighborhood, a bright space, and easy access to transit. Monica set up multiple viewings, pointed out details we wouldn’t have noticed, and gave honest feedback on each property. When we found the right one, she handled the negotiations smoothly and made sure everything stayed on track. I’d highly recommend Monica. She truly looks out for her clients!

Monica was amazing! She really listened to what I needed and made buying a house in Port Moody a smooth experience. Her attention to detail and negotiation skills were top-notch. Felt completely taken care of—so happy with my new home!

We cannot recommend Monica enough! We first connected with her four years ago and are so thankful that we did. This is our second time working with her, and most recently, she helped us purchase our home in 2025. She continues to provide tremendous value, bringing deep knowledge of all property types—including detached homes, condos, and townhomes—as well as the Port Moody market, neighbourhoods, schools, and amenities, and she is also highly knowledgeable about strata, making our home-buying experience seamless and stress-free. She is incredibly accommodating, always quick to respond, and takes the time to provide thoughtful, tailored advice. Her expertise was invaluable during negotiations, helping us secure our home under for under asking—something we didn’t think was possible in a challenging market where this type of property rarely sells below asking. Beyond her market expertise, what truly sets Monica apart is her client-first approach. She always provides honest, unbiased advice—even if it means recommending that a client hold onto a property rather than sell, putting their best interests ahead of her own. She is never pushy or overbearing (no used car salesman vibes at all!), making the process feel comfortable and pressure-free. She stays in touch even when we’re not actively looking to buy or sell, always making time for a chat or meeting to discuss real estate. Her extensive network of trusted professionals—tradespeople, mortgage brokers, inspectors, insurance brokers, etc—was a huge asset throughout the process. We used a few of her recommended contacts, and they were all extremely professional and did a great job. She also accompanied us to several open houses during our search spanning a few months, ensuring we found the perfect home. Whether you're buying, selling, or investing, Monica is the expert you want in your corner. We are so grateful for her guidance and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again!

We saw so many houses in Port Moody before finding the right one, and Monica was patient every step of the way. She made the buying process smooth with clear guidance and great attention to detail. Really appreciate her help—highly recommend!

Monica, is a proven real estate agent, who demonstrates fantastic personal service and is always advocating for her clients. My family was very lucky to have her with ethic and committed to our needs and desires when it came to our future home. Would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a real estate agent that is prepared to go above and beyond for their client.

Monica is the BEST in the business. We had the hardest time selling our condo in New West but she never gave up and worked incredibly hard to find the right buyer! After we closed on the condo she helped us find a beautiful townhouse in South Surrey in our dream neighborhood. Her professionalism, tenacity and incredible work ethic is extremely impressive. We always felt like she was going above and beyond for us. We have since recommended her to my in-laws and several friends who have all used her to buy or sell property in the last 5 years. I highly recommend hiring Monica!

We first met Monica a few months ago when we were thinking about a big relocation, and I’m so glad we called her! We were a little nervous about selling our beloved home in New Westminster. She gave me great advice on how to market our townhouse, told us the best ways to prep without overloading us with tasks, her team made the most beautiful listing photos/videos, and she got results. A record sale in the complex! I honestly didn’t think we’d break even because we bought during a high market a few years ago, but Monica worked her magic and made it happen. Beyond her skills, she’s just such a kind and trustworthy person. She kept me calm and confident every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend Monica to anyone—she’s simply amazing!

Buying a home in Coquitlam felt like such a big step, and I wasn’t sure where to begin. Monica made the entire process so much easier.

Even when things got complicated, she handled it all so smoothly that I barely felt the stress. Thanks Monica!

Monica Harmse is absolutely amazing! She helped us sell our townhouse in Port Moody and secured an incredible deal on a detached home in Heritage Mountain. Selling a home with two young kids and a dog can be stressful. But she made the process easy and we sold within a week! For our purchase, thanks to her expert negotiation skills, she got us $168,000 off the asking price—something we didn’t think was even possible! Monica is not only professional and knowledgeable but also kind, approachable, and an excellent communicator. She kept us informed every step of the way and made the entire process seamless and stress-free.

We first met Monica Harmse years ago when we were considering a big move, and we stayed in touch with her periodically as we waited for the right time to relocate. Every time we reached out, Monica took the time to provide us with transparent, up-to-date market data, which was so valuable in planning our next steps. When the time came to sell, Monica had an amazing marketing team ready to go, creating top-quality photos, videos, social media clips, and more. Her marketing efforts were truly impressive, and it showed! There were several other listings similar to ours—even multiple homes on our same street—but Monica managed to get us a record sale price in a very difficult market. We were thrilled to sell our detached home in New Westminster and move into our dream home. If you’re looking for a realtor with incredible patience, deep knowledge, and someone who genuinely cares about your outcome, Monica is the one to call!

Thanks to her dedication and expertise, we found the perfect home close to schools and friends. We couldn’t have done it without her, and we highly recommend her to anyone navigating a challenging move!

I had the pleasure of working with Monica Harmse to purchase a stunning condo in Port Moody with an amazing view of the inlet.

Even during slow market conditions for luxury properties, Monica stayed positive and motivated. Her support and understanding were invaluable. Thanks to her efforts, we now hold the record sale for 2-bedroom townhouses in New Westminster! She managed this record even with an identical home listed at the same time in the very same building. We highly recommend Monica Harmse!

We can’t say enough about the incredible experience we’ve had with Monica Harmse. She helped us buy our first property in North Vancouver, and eventually helped us sell it 5 years later.

I did a deep-dive search for a good Port Moody realtor 3 years ago when we decided to move from California. I cold-contacted Monica and she quickly arranged to meet us at an open house on our next trip up, before we moved permanently. To say she was genuine, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable is an understatement. Monica guided us and gave us valuable pointers on the real estate market here in British Columbia, and never failed to inform, stay in touch, and return our calls and texts immediately. We traveled back and forth a few times, and each time, Monica arranged really informative and easy-to-follow property tours that primed us for what to expect. When we finally got our permanent residency, Monica was front and center, and she made it her mission to find our dream home. Amazingly, we found the perfect place on the very day we arrived in Canada! Thanks to the speed with which Monica acted/pounced when the property became available, our offer was submitted and accepted promptly. We couldn't be more thrilled with our new home and can't believe it was EXACTLY where we hoped it would be, our preferred neighborhood, our preferred design, our preferred... everything. Monica made the whole process easy, rewarding, and fun, and we couldn't be happier. Need a realtor who has compassion AND expertise? Then give Monica a try. We're relieved and thankful every day for her kind, empathetic, astute approach.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Monica Harmse to purchase an investment property in the Mount Pleasant area of Vancouver, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Monica has exceptional market knowledge and provided invaluable insights into the best investment opportunities and she shared so much knowledge about the landlord/tenant process. We weren’t originally looking for in Vancouver but Monica brought a lot of options to our attention that we hadn’t considered. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to our goals made the purchase smooth and efficient. She helped educate us on the process with taking over the tenant and ensuring our best interests were met. Thanks to Monica Harmse, we now have a fantastic addition to my investment portfolio which is so important as we are near retirement. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to invest in real estate!

We are so glad we had Monica walk along us during our downsizing process -- from selling our house to completing the purchase of a condo. Downsizing is a long process that can be daunting and stressful. Monica has been patient in answering our many (many!) questions in a way that people who are not in the real estate industry can easily understand. She had a way of calming our fears and easing our minds when we shared our worries. In addition to her expertise and extensive knowledge, Monica demonstrated integrity and strong ethics in her work. She is dedicated and showed a genuine interest in our needs. Her guidance through this whole general process and the process of negotiating the purchase of our condo proved to be invaluable. During our many visits to look at different condos, we observed that Monica had a keen eye for details. She has a real talent in pointing out the positives as well as pointing out “things to think about” in a straightforward and unbiased way. We are very grateful for Monica’s help and will definitely not hesitate to recommend her to others. We love that you love what you do, Monica! Thank you! ~Anne

Monica is incredible. We worked with her to purchase our first home and she patiently explained the process, was with us every step of the way, and checked in often. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was exactly the way we needed even after we moved in. We recommend Monica often, and if we move again she'll be our first call!
