Maria was very helpful during the sale of the house. We are remote from the area and Maria took on additional tasks and provided recommendations for various services we needed during the process. We had some inspection issues and she was very helpful in getting them addressed. She knew our desired outcome and helped get us into the ballpark! We would recommend Maria as a proactive and helpful agent throughout the sales process!

We love Maria so much. She helped us buy our first home in 2016, and she just helped us sell it in 2025. Because Maria actually cares about her clients. She stayed in touch with us all this time. She goes above and beyond for her clients in ways no other realtors do. And she makes us feel like we’re her only current client no matter how busy she is—she’s a responsive and makes sure we always understand what’s going on. What an amazing woman. Work with her if you want to have a smooth, easy buying/selling experience.

I have had several real estate transactions in the past 5 years and I have used Maria for every one of them. One of the most difficult processes recently has been trying to determine how to price the home. Maria knows the market. Maria manages to stay calm, cool and collected even during some of the most stressful times of selling a home. She was able to take the stress off of me and calm my nerves. Additionally, she was able to find home insurance at a rate that I myself could not find. She is the real deal and the whole package! Let her take care of your home selling or buying needs, you won't regret it.

I'd like to commend Maria Cherrez-VanGalder, my realtor, for her exceptional assistance in guiding me through the recent sale of my townhome in Riverview, FL. Maria has consistently provided invaluable support throughout both property transactions, demonstrating a strong history of quality service for our family. Her expertise and dedication made both the buying and the selling process a genuine pleasure. I'm truly grateful for her assistance and wholeheartedly recommend her to others.

Very knowledgeable. Great listener, Polite

Maria is very professional and knowledgeable of the real estate market. My husband and I would highly recommend her to help anyone with their real estate transactions. She has represented me in 4 and I plan to keep using her for future transactions.

I have bought and sold a few homes in my life, a few even 'by owner'. But I can say with certainty, that I could have never made it through this purchase without the hard work and knowledge of Maria. The market now is so different. which can make the process so complicated if you don't have someone who knows what their doing. Maria has kept up with all of those changes and she knows how to navigate the process. Thank you Maria, for streamlining this process and getting me in to my new home!

I was blessed to have a property that was highly desired and the beauty is that Maria knew how to filter the incoming interests and focus on the truly motivated buyer. she helped me avoid "just lookers" and was able to assist me (and the buyers) through some unexpected tax ramifications and provided me with a very experienced tax consultant that put my mind at ease, which allowed me to say "yes" to the buyer's offer. I feel that everyone (me and the buyers) were treated fairly and with true interest in the outcome for both parties. Maria....I can't thank you enough for your ability to come through at a moment's notice. We closed the sale within 3 weeks and I can't thank you enough for making that happen. I highly recommend Maria VanGalder :-)

She was very helpful and professional

Very knowledgeable in all aspects how to show and advertise property. Always returned calls to answer all my concerns. Very respectful always let the tenants know in advance for a showing. I would definitely use Maria Cherrez-VanGalder again and recommend Maria to my friends. It was a very unique peace of property and Maria made it happen.

I worked with Maria to sell some vacant land (2022) and also a home in 2021 that I had in my possession. Maria was able to help me with each question. I've worked with Maria with multiple properties in the past and I would not go to anyone else for assistance in buying or selling property.

Maria is awesome. She has helped us with the buying and selling our home. She worked hard to make our house purchase and sale as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Maria was that she was always more focused on answering our questions and giving us good advice. Maria is professional and had a genuine interest in making sure we were satisfied.
