Working with Maria was a real pleasure, especially in the crazy market the real estate is now. She was very knowledgeable - not just about the whole process and the deal arrangement, but about every detail of every property we visited: she read all the inspections and did additional research on the neighborhoods (that saved us several times from buying houses with "hidden" flaws). Her optimism, support, and amazing patience helped us navigate through the whole process of home buying and finally find the house we were looking for. She is always ready to go an extra mile to make sure her clients buy the house they really want, and I would highly recommend Maria for anybody looking for a new home.
