Zach Evanish – Top Agent 3
“Tony Robbins says that "Success Leaves Clues". If someone wants to get clued into what the Top Professionals in all aspects of Luxury real estate are doing and take their career to the next level then they must enroll in the Top Agent program. I highly recommend it.”

Paul Benec – Top Agent 1
"The Top Agent program was the most challenging thing I have ever done and to be named as a member of the McMonigle Group has been a great honor. This experience has challenged me as an agent to grow beyond were I thought I could."

Tiffany Rose – Top Agent 3
“Top Agent was one of the most challenging experiences I have ever done in my life. And not for the obvious reasons. The experience itself was challenging-heart racing-rewarding-and I thrived and loved almost every minute of the competition. It pushed me in ways like multitasking major assignments, thinking creatively and WAY outside of the box, pushed me way out of my comfort zone, allowed me to be raw and exposed and vulnerable, making me grow as a person and a better, aware agent. I think all of us in this competition were used to working hard, and prepared to lose sleep, but the harder parts were keeping your mind strong, eliminating doubt, being true to yourself and following the characteristics that make each of us unique individuals and great Realtors. The oddest thing, afterward, I actually missed Bob being in control of my life, I went through withdrawals, but after the dust settled, I realized I was much more equipped to take on this business on a deeper level.”

Danielle Snyder Potter – Top Agent 2
“I was excited to participate in Top Agent 2 because it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn from the best. The program was the most challenging thing I have ever done and to be named as a member of the McMonigle Group was a great honor. “
