"Maria was available, had great recommendations as well as used info we provided to match what we were looking for. From the first showing to closing everything went smoothly. She helped us understand the market, what we needed to be on the lookout for submitting an offer, negotiating, meeting the board for the interview and finally, closing. Maria is a professional who knows her business and cares for her customers

"It was a pleasure to work with Maria. She has the ability to quickly understand her clients need and find the right match: it took me two rounds of visits with her to find the right apartment. She was very proactive and informative while diligently walking me through every step of the process. I was very impressed how quickly and effectively she would respond to any requests or deal with any issues. Her expertise and advises came in very handy during the process. Among all the agents I worked with, she was by far the most effective.

"Maria is the most responsive, professional, focused and task-driven broker I have ever had the pleasure of working with. From our very first call to the closing of our condo purchase, Maria was always one step ahead in explaining the process and strategising with me to resolve complex and unforeseen issues that arose in a unique deal, which included a last minute change of lenders due to issues with my original mortgage broker. Maria never hesitates to go above and beyond her responsibilities as a buyer’s broker and would respond to me 24/7, including when she was on leave. For example, we recently welcomed a baby to the family, and without backup care, I couldn’t attend many purchase related meetings in person. So I relied heavily on Maria, who enthusiastically arranged and attended inspections, organised contractor quotes for our upcoming renovation, and picked up and delivered original closing documents to the managing agent and my lawyer. Maria is the reason we had a relatively stress free and smooth closing. I wholeheartedly recommend Maria to anyone looking to purchase or sell an apartment in NY.
