Maria made the sale of our house a breeze! Knew exactly what to do every step of the way, keeping us informed and prepared for upcoming documents, inspections, and preparation of our home for a highly professional showing when our house went on the market. I will definitely recommend her as the realtor to trust to our family, friends and neighbours!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Maria was helpful through every step of this process. We've worked with her for a number of years, and when we were finally ready to sell our home, she made the process easy and manageable. Her knowledge of the current city we live in helped us find the perfect home for us to raise our family. We highly recommend her if you are looking for someone who is compassionate, has years of experience, and good knowledge of the local market.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

"I can't say enough about how dedicated and professional Maria is. She sold my house in Concord for more than asking and then found me a perfect home in Benicia. The work she put forth in getting my house ready was amazing. She is the best I've been associated with and I was a realtor for seven years! Her professionalism in dealing with multiple offers, closing my sale on time and working with the sellers on my new home was exactly what one would hope from their realtor. At all times she kept me in the loop and was critical in moving my new mortgage along in a timely manner. Even when the mortgage company made some serious errors. I can't say enough about her and am willing to talk with anybody who is considering her as their realtor."… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Oh my God!! Where do I start? Maria was an ultimate blessing to our first time home buyer experience. She not only explained everything that would take place at the beginning, she went over each step as we went through it..I dont know if your an experienced home buyer or a nervous first time buyer, either way she will be your best friend, your counselor, your confidant, your mentor, and so much more..she even got in touch with my loan company and made sure they stuck to the promised rate and closing cost when they had made adjustments that a new home buyer may not question...she got to know us and found the perfect house for us. Do yourself a favor and have Maria as your realtor, it will be the best thing you can do when looking for a home. Even after the sale she has checked on us and made sure we are happy and satisfied. Thank you Maria for making our families dream come true and being our guardian angel realtor!!!!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Wonderful agent. Maria works hard for her client and knows the business well. She helped us make many decisions that helped to expedite the sale of our home. We would recommend her to everybody!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Maria was very patient with me - I entered the market and then other commitments meant I had to pause awhile ( 6 months ) and then pick things up again. No pressure, but kept me appraised of state of market. Once my schedule freed up, she very patiently showed me numerous properties. We bid on a number of them but she was very disciplined about not letting me chase the market. Eventually we found a place where both numbers, location and condition of property all came together and our bid was accepted and we closed the deal, all very smoothly handled. I would strongly recommend working with Maria to purchase a property in her markets.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Why 5s across all categories? Because Maria did and proactively stepped up when something needed to be done. I could go on about her knowledge and help, but all good real estate agents should already have this trait. What she had was compassion and concern about my family and getting them the best. Plus this was a probate sale and she was with us every step of the way. Especially since we couldn't sell it for 8 months because of the courts and probate process. Her patients and easy going demeanor help my family get through this difficult process, especially in Cali. She was great in telling us what we had to do to get the best sale and we did everything she said and it all worked out perfectly. Her companies she used to fix or repair or stage were good workers and did the job right the first time, plus they were all reasonable in price. She is a local and lives right there so she definitely knows the market. I could go on and on about her, but no need to. Just call her and find out for yourself. Thanks for reading my review.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Maria is a people person, which is essential in dealing in real estate. She never waited to get back with me, if I needed questions answered. Maria is very knowledgeable. I appreciate all of her help. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a great agent!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Maria was great! She was very patient and a joy to be with. She arranged and showed us everything we wanted to see in our price range. She was exceptionally organized in arranging days for us to look at properties, which was really important because we came from out of state and only had a few days to look. She mostly stepped back and let us make our own assessment, but occasionally pointed out things that we might have missed.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Maria was a God sent. I was having issues with a previous realtor, and met Maria at a showing. I found her to be very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. She found out house which was off market, which was very ideal to our needs. We ended buying the house in Vallejo, CA. I would Highly recommend maria for your realtor needs. She's the absolute best !… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
