Monica Blackburn

REALTOR®

Born in the Midwest, Monica Blackburn moved to Houston after graduating from Coe College. In the early ’90s, she and her husband moved to Austin. Looking for a place to raise their children, they chose the Barton Hills neighborhood–-a choice, she says, that benefited her family in innumerable ways. The two Blackburn daughters attended Barton Hills Elementary, O.Henry and Kealing Middle Schools and Stephen F. Austin High School.

Monica has more than 20 years of experience in retail marketing, property management and leasing. Since obtaining her real estate license, her focus has shifted from commercial leasing/sales to residential sales. Monica focuses on understanding exactly what her clients want, diligently researching the market, and then helping them secure their perfect home. She is a member of the National Association of Realtors®, the Texas Association of Realtors® and the Austin Board of Realtors®.

When she’s not engaged in the business of Blairfield Realty and its clients, Monica enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters.

What Clients are Saying about Me

Thank you for the wonderful job…
Thank you for the wonderful job…

Thank you for the wonderful job you did with our Austin apartment. Everything from estimating the comparables, staging the space, fixing the fixtures, and even being on hand to all hours of the night so the home inspection could be completed. Thanks for being so professional and for helping us sell.

Monica Blackburn’s amount of experience is rare. Our first real estate agent Sarah from Blairfield Realty helped my brother and I purchase our first house in 2018. Since Sarah has moved, I could not be more grateful to have been referred to Monica who's helping me with purchasing my second house now.

She simply knows the greater Austin area very well, is easy to talk to, and comes off as genuinely happy to help however she can.

I've now had two all-around great experiences with Blairfield Realty.....

Monica Blackburn is the best real estate agent I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond. Anything we needed she had answers for, from helping us with resources for remodeling, landscaping or just great ideas to help increase the value. On top of all of that, the staging that Monica offers puts her on a whole new level.

Monica Blackburn performed amazingly well in helping us to negotiate and close on the purchase of an older cottage. She was extremely responsive to our questions, took care of the contract changes, and was instrumental in helping us navigate with a somewhat disengaged seller so that we could complete the transaction. I have worked with Monica as a listing agent and as a buyer’s agent, and I would recommend her for either.

I would like to thank Monica Blackburn with Blairfield Realty in Austin, Texas. Monica was able to get the offer my mother was asking for.

We had an outstanding experience working with Monica Blackburn and Blairfield Realty during the recent sale of our home in South Austin. Their knowledge of the market and due diligence researching our particular neighbor allowed them to recommend a well-targeted asking price. Monica made recommendations on improvements to the property that would help the house show at its best, then arranged for all of the subcontractors to get the work done quickly. Within ten days of our moving out, the house looked....

This letter serves as a very high recommendation for Monica Blackburn and her Blairfield Realty team. I have worked with several other realtors over the years in Austin and say with great confidence that Monica is the best.

She is professional and offers high integrity and is a creative, hard worker. She has had my best interests in mind whether through a sale or a purchase and yet is always clear and no-nonsense when responding to any question about price or staging or showings.

Couldn’t be more pleased with Monica and Blairfield!!

Blairfield is a smaller, local real estate team that is very knowledgeable about the central Austin housing market. With the help of Blairfield Realty’s Monica Blackburn, in 2013 I was able to purchase an amazing house in east Austin which met my very picky specifications. To this day, I am still loving the home.

Monica was very good about staying on top of things and continuously following up with me, which caused me to ultimately decide to sign with her as my real estate agent. Even when Monica....

We met Monica Blackburn at an open house when we first began our home search and I am glad that we chose her as she was a great help in the purchase of our house. We may not have been the easiest clients for Monica since it took us 7 months to find the right home, but she was with us every step of the way. Monica always made time for us to view properties that we were interested in and was prompt with writing up offers. Also, Monica went the extra mile during the due diligence process by helping....

Monica did a wonderful job selling our house. She helped with every step of getting the house ready, coming out to meet contractors she suggested for carpeting, window replacement, etc. Whenever small problems arose, she was unflappable, doing her best to fix them and keep everyone happy. She even sold some of our old furniture for us online, getting a good price.

If you are willing to take suggestions, you will get the most benefit from the services offered by Blairfield. The house will look....

Monica Blackburn was absolutely wonderful when I was looking to purchase my home in Austin. She never gave up on the search for my perfect house and worked hard to find out what I was looking for in a house and location. She was so patient with me when I kept changing my mind and she was always available when I needed her or had a question about the process. I would highly recommend her if you want someone who is down to earth and willing to work hard to either buy or sell your home.

I can honestly say that calling Monica was one of the best decisions that I have ever made…

Last spring when we decided to sell our house in central Austin, I called Monica Blackburn at Blairfield Realty. I had met Monica when our daughters went to high school together, and I knew that she had gotten her real estate license. I can honestly say that calling Monica was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. To say that she worked long hours and dealt with some unexpected challenges, is an understatement. Not only did she help us sell our house, she also helped us find our new house.....
