While I was overseas, Maria was phenomenal in taking care of everything to ensure that my house was not only staged for a great sale but went above and beyond what I expected to make my house competitive in a difficult real-estate market. She was proactive for the open houses, taking the extra steps to ensure success. The smell of her fresh baked cookies throughout the house gave a sensation that my house would be a great place to raise to raise a family. Maria exceeded what was expected; when my home inspection identified issues with mice and plumbing, she took the time to make sure that contractors could get into the house and resolve the issues. Maria is a go-to person and will take the extra steps to guarantee your sale. You need to contact her to make sure the sale of your house is a positive experience.

We purchased our first home with Maria's help, and we couldn't be happier with her great work. This process can be quite stressful at times but with Maria's valuable knowledge, patience, sound advice and support it made it a successful event. She was able to promptly capture the insight of the type of house that we were looking for, that on the second house that she showed us we ended up purchasing it. Maria was very flexible and willing to work around our schedule, which was a great benefit for us. Overall, it a was great experience. With no doubt we highly recommend her services and will gladly work with her again in the future.

My wife and I want to let anyone who might be looking to buy a home or sell theirs about Realtor Maria Guimaraes. We lucked out meeting with her at one property. Immediately she made my wife and I feel totally comfortable with her warm genuine personality. She worked with us to find the perfect home for our growing family. She remained in contact with us every step of the way until the deal was done and even after. She picked up on things that my wife nor I could not see in certain houses. She has a lot of excellent experience with a great eye and I promise you she will work with you and you won’t be disappointed with her professionalism. We are very thankful to Maria and look forward to working with her again in the near future.

When looking for a realtor you are never sure what to expect or how the person will be, but I would have to say that the concerns my husband and I had were laid to rest the minute we started working with Maria. The search for a tenant for our home was a long one and this is what brought us to her. Working with her was a breath of fresh air and the professionalism she brought to the table was refreshing and really helped us trust her as someone who was sincerely concerned in doing the best, she could to find us a tenant...

...She always ensured to keep the lines of communication open and made sure to inform us of any changes or the reason for any delays. Every step of the way she made sure to reassure us that we were going to find a tenant and that she would do her utmost best not to lose an opportunity for us and that is what she did. She worked hard for us and was always a good sounding board when we didn’t know what to do or what decision to make. She was there to give us solid advice that we felt comfortable trusting. I would recommend Maria to any friends or family and would definitely seek her services again if the opportunity presented itself. She was truly amazing and is great at what she does.

Amazing Realtor and the most honest person you will meet! My husband and I were so impressed when we met Maria. She has such amazing people skills and is well informed on all the properties we were shown…she knows what she is talking about. We were desperate to find the perfect house and we were searching over and over again on our own to no avail, until one day I saw a property and gave the number on the sign a call. Lucky for me Maria called me back right away and I knew right away that I wanted her to be our realtor. She answers all of our questions, provides advice and suggestions without any PUSHY SALES PITCH...

...I felt for once comfortable that I didn’t need to buy something because she showed us a property. Maria was always supportive and helped us make sense of times when we just felt like giving up. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone who wants a real deal Realtor, who will stick by you until she has the perfect house. She is amazing person and so honest which is refreshing. I would not only call her my realtor but a good friend as she has meant everything to us. Anyone buying or selling a house Maria is the one who will get the job done!

Thank you for your tremendous assistance guiding me through the sale of my townhouse. I greatly appreciated the market analysis that you provided, as well as the regular updates when similar properties were sold in the area. Your advice on preparing my unit for sale, and subsequent advice on setting the asking price, definitely resulted a substantial increase in the ultimate sale price. I indeed appreciated your explanations on process and negotiations. You were professional, proactive, courteous and easy to understand and work with. Your efforts and support were greatly appreciated, and I will definitely recommend you to friends, family, and colleagues. Thanks again for adeptly shepherding me through it all.

Maria helped my husband and I purchase our very first home. We were so excited and nervous as this was the biggest purchase of our life! We wanted a home that felt just right, and Maria did not disappoint. We wanted a place that we could raise a family, enjoy the pool and have a proper return on investment when the time came to sell. Maria was patient and left no stone unturned. It took us a few months to visit as many houses as possible before we pulled the trigger. She made sure our needs were met and did one heck of job negotiating for us. We love our home 2 years later and not to mention, it has increased in value from what we initially paid to an identical house down the street that sold for over 100K what we paid! We are so grateful we had Maria during the start to finish. She went above and beyond - I could not recommend her enough!

SOLD!!!! - Fun times checking out open houses led to deciding to sell our house. We interviewed a few realtors and knew instantly when we met Maria that she was "the one"! We were provided with advice on how to sell the house and how to make it look appealing. We followed Maria's valuable advice and guidance and when we were ready to sell, she came in and staged our home. After the first day of showings we had an offer to purchase. With great personalized service from Maria, the documents were modified and accepted quickly and five business days later we had our house sold!...

...We also used Maria for buying our property. With professional and personalized service, Maria made us feel as if we were her only clients, even though we knew we were not. She spent a lot of time looking at potential listings that she felt we were interested in and we welcomed her opinion. Even when we switched up what type of property we wanted, Maria moved with our decision, asking all the right questions and ultimately found us the property that we love. Our realtor experience with Maria has been a positive experience. Maria provided high level personalized service on all fronts. If you ever want to sell or buy, give Maria a call!
