“My passion in life is to make sure people feel appreciated and valued. Everything I do comes

from a heart of service,” Monica Zseltvay begins.

Growing up in North Carolina, Monica was raised with church and family at the center of her

life. That allowed her to settle into life with strong values. Family and faith remain top

priorities, and Monica continually works to help others tap into their inherent self-worth.

“We all have challenges. There are so many things that go on in people’s lives behind the ‘I’m

doing okay’ face. There are a lot of people struggling. One of my goals is to help people feel

valued and know they are not alone,” she continues.

Monica has settled into life as a REALTOR® for the past 11 years. Her career has not only

provided her with a means to provide for her family; real estate has become an outlet for her

highest values. As an agent, she gets the opportunity to help others feel loved every single

day.

Before starting her real estate career in 2013, Monica had a rich and varied professional life.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in interior architectural design from UNC Greensboro in 1994

and ran her own interior design business, MK Design, for over a decade. She’s also spent

several years as a staging and set designer at the High Point Furniture Market, worked as a

fitness trainer at Gold's Gym, helped open several restaurants for a large corporation, and was

a project manager for a grant program at UNCG.

Monica’s husband, Aaron, is a homebuilder. One day, Aaron casually suggested she get her

real estate license to sell the homes he built. But Monica’s real estate venture quickly turned

into much more. She grew her business quickly through dedication and the desire to help

others.

Monica has now been thriving in real estate for eleven years. She’s used her love for

relationship-building to excel year after year. As a member of the Elite Realty Group with

Keller Williams, over the years Monica has been able to help so many families and individuals purchase or sell their homes. She is incredibly grateful for her team, particularly her team leader and mentor, Crystal Rierson-Villeneuve.

“I have been a part of Crystal’s team from day one of my journey as a REALTOR® and owe so

much of my growth and success to her,” Monica beams.

Monica’s success can be attributed to her focus on relationships and steadfast problem-solving

skills. She lives by the mantra, “There is always a solution. We just have to figure out what it

is.” She’s willing to go above and beyond for her clients, encouraging them not to overextend

themselves and instead let her take care of the details. Whether cleaning out a fridge or

walking a client’s dog during a showing, Monica is willing to go the extra mile. The result is

happy clients that come back and want to refer family and friends.

“I care about people. It’s not about real estate. It’s about relationships. They know that, and

that’s why they come back to me. I don’t think about the paycheck. I do my job and do it well.

“If there is one thing I’d want people to know about me, it’s that I care. That’s it. I simply love

serving people. In my business, I don't sell anything. I serve others as their REALTOR®.”

Monica has two grown daughters. Her oldest, Meredith, is married to Nolan, whom she met at

UNCW; they now live in Raleigh. Her youngest, Jordan, recently graduated college. She lives

in Greensboro and is working towards going to school to become a physician assistant. Monica

and her husband, Aaron, have been married since 2013. Monica also enjoys tennis, exploring

Greensboro’s parks, and drinking coffee — but her team has her on a two cup limit! “As I have

gotten older, I have learned a thing or two about life. One of the big ones is that life is too

short not to laugh. Laugh a lot. Find humor. Find joy.”
