Maria was absolutely wonderful to work with! She really knows the market and what buyers are looking for. She also had great contacts for a few repairs I needed, which made everything so much easier for me. Thanks to her advice and hard work, I got multiple offers the first weekend and sold my house above asking. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent — highly recommend!
Maria did an outstanding job assisting me throughout my selling and purchasing process. We met at one of her listings in February 2025. I was immediately drawn to her knowledge, patience, and kindness. Based on our initial meeting, I decided to select her as my agent to sell my townhome and find a new home. At the onset of selling my home, Maria used her real estate expertise and taught me me to the importance of neutral paint colors, house decluttering, staging, and baking chocolate cookies for prospective buyers. All her recommendations worked, and my townhome sold quickly. Next, we had to find me a new home. After finding the home, Maria used her real estate experience review and explain the inspection report in detail to me, and she also helped identify contractors to make the upgrades.

Her work speaks for itself!
Maria was great to work with during the process of purchasing our home! She was patient with us while we searched for the perfect home for our new family. She also helped me list my first rental property, which was so helpful! I was able to get a tenant in very quickly. After we closed on our new house, she was able to give us recommendations and contacts for all of our needs, including flooring, fencing, etc., to help point us in the right direction.
Maria is awesome, not only is she a great realtor with knowledge of the local market, great advice on negotiating your best price, but she also has all the contacts to make your home buying experience a pleasure. Buying a home can be extremely stressful. We were buying a home in a state 880 miles away from our original home base. We were in the midst of selling our home in WI and negotiating our future home in SC Maria took the reins for us and made everything so easy; we were truly put at ease. Maria got us our home, our home loan, our home insurance, help with replacing our flooring on the first floor, and a wealth of local knowledge and contractors. Maria started as our realtor and ended up as our friend!
