 Where to begin ... we love so many things about Maria!


We can’t say enough about the extraordinary experience we had working with Maria in our search for our new home.  Maria is professional, knowledgeable, dedicated, honest, reliable, patient, and an excellent listener to name just a few of her strengths.  She pays attention to detail and keeps you in the loop at all times, even if she doesn’t have an answer, she’ll give you an update.


She was there 110 percent for us, always quick to get back to us -- we never felt uninformed in the buying process.  Maria also has a keen sense of the market and value of properties, whether priced too high, too low, or just right and didn’t hesitate to let us know – we felt she always had our best interest at heart.

Being new to the area, Maria also provided excellent contacts for us for whatever we needed and we were never disappointed!

I know we will always keep in touch with Maria and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell any property.  It will be an amazing experience!

Our story ...

 

Maria was the selling agent for a house on a lake we were interested in.  We were new to the area and didn't know anyone.  We gave her a call and were set up to look at the house immediately, no waiting, we were impressed.  Meeting her, we found an instant connection and although we didn't purchase this house, she showed it to us three times and answered every question we had about the house, lake and town.  If she didn't know it, she found out for us.

 

We liked her so much, we asked her to help us find another lake house for us in the area.  After viewing many houses, we found one we liked.  She held our hands through a long (6 month) process to purchase this lake house, from negotiating the offer to renegotiating the short sale it turned into, to then dealing with the bankruptcy of the seller that took place after we had already signed our contract.

 

She kept close contact with us and the seller's agent and religiously was in contact with the person assigned to mitigate our case.  She was just amazing!  I don't believe we would have been able to get through a process like this if it wasn’t for her amazing ability to calm our anxiety and help keep us focused on what we wanted.

 

After six long months and a third request for us to extend the short sale rider, our lives had changed and we were no longer in a position to sign the request to extend the short sale rider another three months.  All parties were disappointed, but Maria kept her positive attitude, worked very hard to get our deposit back, in the most amicable way, and continued to provide support to us through it all.

 

After a month off, we contacted Maria with renewed enthusiasm and asked her again to help us find a house.  We changed the whole dynamics of our house search and Maria was onboard, ready to show us houses immediately.

 

We found one that we liked and wanted to make an offer.  It was a new listing, and our conversations were around it being priced a bit high for the area, Maria recommended waiting a bit to put in the offer, but I was stubborn (my husband fully agreed with Maria) and didn’t want to wait so off we went, back and forth with the sellers not budging enough to make it easy for us to continue.

 

Maria was able to reason with me on not paying too much for the house (she is so good at that), so we waited (my husband was very happy!).  Then the miracle happened, the second day of our waiting, another house popped up on the market that we just loved from the pictures!

 

The price was right and Maria got us the first showing of the day, we loved it even more in person, worked with Maria to make the offer and it was accepted by end of the day!  I can’t tell you how happy we were that we waited and how quickly Maria moved to make it happen for us!

 

We are so thankful our journey led us to Maria!
