“Maria was sensational – she was referred to us by a work colleague who worked with Maria last year. She lived up to all expectations and I would not hesitate to use her again in the future. She was extremely professional – was able to put herself in our shoes and empathize with our situation.”
“Maria was VERY professional, informative, always finding a potential solution and never pushy. She was an excellent liaison between lawyers, other agents, etc. and always had a referral resource handy. She goes above and beyond paying attention to every detail. She has become a respectful friend of my family, always trying to keep our best interests in mind as well as aggressively selling our home. She was responsive and available and an excellent resource when choosing a new home as well. I will be forever grateful for her support and guidance.”
