Within just six months of earning her license, Maria began delivering exceptional outcomes for her clients.

Whether helping families find their dream home or advising investors on market opportunities, Maria's dedication transforms transactions into successful, stress-free experiences.
Beyond real estate, Maria values community and connection—qualities that enhance her commitment to helping clients find their perfect place to call home.
““Hands down the best realtor we’ve ever met! Buying/selling in Marin is such a nuanced experience and Maria knows the ins and outs better than anyone. She is incredibly professional, has killer communication, and is best of all is wonderful to work with. We attended the 1st time home buyer’s seminar she hosted and learned we needed to be thinking about information we didn’t even know existed. She meets you where you are and takes you through the entire process - even sending you links to your new local utilities companies to set up your accounts. 12/10 experience! We are over the moon about our new home.””
