On 12/6/2024 Amanda Kostro Miller had this to say:
Maria was exceptionally responsive and was able to walk us through the entire home buying process. It was our first house purchase, so we were pretty inexperienced. She was full of knowledge and advice, which we appreciated.

On 12/6/2024 Aliana Becker had this to say:
Maria is one of the hardest working people I have ever met! She is a fantastic communicator, extremely knowledgeable, and has established a great network. We feel lucky to have worked with her to purchase our first home as she made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable! I would recommend her 10 times over and hope you get the opportunity to see why. We definitely feel as we have made a friend in Maria 😊
