Monica-Tezla Solis Vega-Gorsun was born in Costa Rica, raised in rural North Carolina, and now calls three places home: New York City, Istanbul, and Costa Rica. Her multicultural background and lived experiences have shaped her into a grounded, intuitive communicator - traits that serve her well as a Manhattan real estate agent.

Before entering real estate, Monica built a decade-long career as an award-winning producer and co-founder of Sankara Pictures, working on bold narratives and global campaigns for clients like Netflix, Samsung, American Express, and Microsoft. Her creative background taught her how to lead with empathy, manage complex logistics, and deliver under pressure - all skills she now brings to every property search and negotiation.

As a licensed Manhattan agent, Monica is known for her clarity, relatability, and knack for building trust with clients from all walks of life. She's especially skilled at helping people transition between cities or countries, thanks to her own experience living between cultures. Married to a Turk, she spends part of the year in Istanbul and knows the city like a local - just as she does New York.

In her past (and sometimes present) life, Monica has been a snowboard instructor, marathon runner, amateur surfer, and global camper. When she's not helping clients find home, she's probably exploring a museum, hiking with her son, or hunting for the perfect pastry.
