Maria is amazing! A Chicago native, she has intimate knowledge of all the neighborhoods and taught us so much about what to look for in a home and market conditions. Not only that, but she kept us grounded and always gave us her honest opinions, even talking us out of certain places rather than looking for a quick sell - and always totally right! She is an excellent communicator and routinely made herself available even when we wanted to do last minute showings. It makes you forget sometimes she has other clients because we always felt like a priority! She is knowledgeable, efficient, and was a tough negotiator and advocate for us through the whole process. We can’t recommend her enough.
