Monica Painter is not your average real estate agent—and that’s by design. With over 20 years of experience in sales, events, and philanthropy, Monica has built a career (and a reputation) around one core principle: go the extra mile, every single time.

Monica's career began in advocacy, where she rose to Director of Development for a statewide foster care agency, raising critical funds for some of Texas’s most vulnerable children. In 2016, she founded The Equality Alliance and launched the Unite the Fight Gala, which has grown into the largest LGBTQ+ fundraiser in Central Texas—raising millions of dollars for local charities.

In real estate, Monica is known for her white-glove service, fierce negotiation skills, and ability to craft custom strategies that reflect each client’s unique goals. Whether mapping a family’s ideal home radius or staging a listing to stand out in a competitive market, she brings the same tenacity, creativity, and heart that have defined her philanthropic work.

Monica is proud to be part of the Cord Shiflet Group, where her love for people and passion for giving back continue to drive her. Her clients don’t just get an agent—they get a strategic, inspired partner who listens deeply, works relentlessly, and always goes the extra mile to get you home!
