Customer Quotes

"Maria was there for us, rain or shine. Even when things did not always go our way, Maria was very encouraging and persistent in making things work out for our benefit."
— Barbara A.

"Maria, thank you for being so professional, punctual and nice. I appreciate you for being so patient with me. It was a pleasure working with you. If I would start looking for a house now I would not think of a better real estate agent than you!"
— Yelena O.

"I cannot praise Maria enough! Her professionalism shone through every aspect of my looking to relocate. Her availability & knowledge were just what I depended on because my visits to ST. Louis were frequent & of short duration. She is one outstanding agent who went far above & beyond what I expected."
— Karen L.

"Maria marketed my house. She followed up with every agent who showed my home, obtained feedback, & kept me updated. Her marketing system continued to keep interest in my property, and we always had prospective buyers viewing the property. In addition to Maria's marketing strategies, she also did her research and was able to support pricing of the home. We were also very impressed with Maria's negotiating skills when we obtained an offer. In my opinion, Maria was worth every cent."
— Rita D.

"From finding and presenting the property, she worked hard at negotiating the deal. Her support network of inspectors, estimators, bankers and title agents were good people to work with, as I was satisfied with their work and confident of their assessments. Maria took care of all the little details and several calls on my behalf making the buying process relatively easy. Always punctual and professional, she is both reliable and has good business ethics. She also knows how to say no, if a deal is going "bad". In my case, she actually made the deal happen at a pint when it was on the brink of failure. My best recommendation is the fact that I will work with her at any time in the future when I want representation as a buyer, or perhaps even as a seller."

"After finally purchasing a house through Maria, we want to let you know what a wonderful experience we had. We started back in September 2008 when I called the office to ask about a property I saw on a website. Maria answered the phone and all my questions; then politely asked if she could send me any listings that fit our needs

From there, she diligently - day after day - week after week - took my husband, my two young girls and me to see houses. She was and is very polite and professional throughout everything. Over the course of several months our friendship had evolved into something more than realtor and buyer/seller. She became part of our family. She is truly a remarkable person. She did the worrying (which there was quite a bit of) for us and for selling our home quickly, under two weeks.

Her knowledge became a valuable resource to us when buying a new home and selling our existing home.

We think Maria is an invaluable asset to the company and a truly wonderful, client service-oriented, and personable lady that we admire and trust. In today's world, it's very rare that you see someone put your interests in front of their own. We will always consider her a friend, and a member of our extended family.

We would highly recommend her to others"

— Dan and Kelli Kimack
