When Monika DeRoussel moved to Cincinnati nearly two decades ago, she was starting from scratch. Armed with a determination to succeed and a passion for real estate, she quickly turned what could have been a daunting challenge into a remarkable career. Today, she is one of the top agents in Ohio, consistently ranked No. 1 by eXp Realty after previously dominating at REMAX.
Monika’s path to top producer wasn’t without its struggles. Starting in a city where she had no connections, she closed only one sale in her first year. However, she quickly ramped up her game. “I sold one house my first year, then five houses the next year, then 35 houses after that,” she says. In her fifth year, she had become REMAX’s top agent in Ohio. Today she averages 100 home sales a year with eXp Realty.
