“I don’t have a medium speed in my body.”

That’s the kind of statement you only hear from someone like Mona ElGomayel — a woman who radiates tenacity, hustle, and a zest for life that’s impossible to miss. Whether she’s clinching million dollar listings, playing competitive A-level tennis, or spending quality time with her three daughters, Mona operates at full throttle — and she’s not slowing down anytime soon. She excels at Keller Williams Chattahoochee North, making a name for herself in local real estate.

Her real estate story isn’t the usual overnight success fairytale. Licensed in 2015, Mona sold just one house in 2016. But don’t let that early number fool you — by 2018, she hit the gas, transforming herself from an investor with six investment properties under her belt into a full-force real estate powerhouse. “I’m not the same person I was,” Mona shares. “I’ve got resilience. I’m tough. And when I pushed the gas, I didn’t let up.”

Life Before Real Estate

Before real estate, Mona was a finance whiz — a corporate underwriter with two business degrees from Baylor University. She grew up in Arkansas in a family of go-getters: her grandmother was one of the original Avon ladies, and her dad, an entrepreneurial pharmacist, opened drugstores and even ran a snow cone business. “No one will outwork me,” Mona says, unapologetically. “That’s how I was raised — you work hard, and you will move mountains.”

That same work ethic has shaped every aspect of her real estate career. “I love listings,” she says passionately. “I bring unmatched value to my listings — making your home the best version of itself without breaking the bank.” She thrives on raising property values and contributing to her clients’ long-term financial success. Armed with a designer’s eye and a laser-sharp business sense, Mona knows how to pull every lever — from recommending contractors and stagers to advising on key upgrades. “Sellers are so grateful. And when I help them, they tell all their neighbors, building momentum.”

She credits her success to her balanced skillset. “I’ve always been a person who has been even brained,” she says. Her left brain works just as well as her right brain, which sets her apart. As a former corporate underwriter, she can analyze everything, is extremely detail-oriented, and can crunch numbers like no other. However, she also excels in marketing and writing listing descriptions that resonate with potential buyers. Having this unique skillset is a blessing.

Couple her skillset with her work ethic, and she is a force to be reckoned with in real estate.

“I built this from scratch,” she points out. Mona got her start humbly, hosting open houses, cleaning showers, vacuuming carpets, and even spreading mulch herself to make homes shine. She laughs, recalling one pivotal moment: “A neighbor across the street saw me putting mulch in a client’s yard and said, ‘You’re going to be a huge success. I’ve never seen an agent do that.’ When I sell my house, I am hiring YOU.”

A Love for Design

Mona’s business smarts are complemented by her deep love for design. “Interior design was always my hobby,” she says. “People would tell me, ‘You have a very expensive hobby.’ So I turned it into a huge career.” With equal parts creativity and analytical rigor, Mona knows how to attract buyers and crafts marketing strategies that set her apart.

Family + Fun

Her personal life is just as rich. Mona is the proud mother of three accomplished daughters: one is a physician’s assistant in Chicago, another works in finance in Nashville, and the youngest, soon to graduate from the University of Georgia, is headed into medicine. Despite her packed schedule, Mona carves out time for tennis, dog walks with her rescue pup Walter, and — when she can — traveling. “I love to travel and watch tennis,” she beams. “We’ve been to the US Open, Australian Open, and Wimbledon… but I still need to get to the French Open!”

Doubling Down

For up-and-coming real estate agents looking to follow in her footsteps, Mona’s advice is clear: double down. “Don’t be afraid to work harder than anyone else. Maintain a great attitude. And remember — there’s nothing beneath you. If you need to clean the carpets or spread mulch, do it. Knock it out of the park, then use that win to get your next client and do it again.”

Mona ElGomayel is a living, breathing example of what happens when fierce determination, sharp intellect, and pure love for the craft come together. She’s not just conquering the world of real estate — she’s reshaping it, one stunning listing at a time.
