"Maria worked with us for 18 months to find our perfect second home. As out-of-state buyers, we needed to make several trips to Florida to really understand the "lay of the land". Maria was always available for our visits. Our texts, emails and phone calls were answered with incredible promptness...sometimes within seconds regardless of the time of day. We really didn't know what we wanted and she was extremely patient with our uncertainty showing us dozens of single family homes and condominiums. In each showing, she pointed out the pluses and minuses, potential negotiation points, and her thoughts on improvement costs. She was very knowledgeable of home construction and utilities issues, and helped us consider property strengths and potential pitfalls. Since we were new to the area, she ensured we understood the geography as well state and local real estate laws, tax implications including homestead rebate provisions, and our rights as buyers. When we were ready to make an offer, she helped us set the offering price and was pivotal in helping us negotiate a great deal. She carefully walked us through the contract ensuring we completely understood all the fine print. As the deal progressed, Maria was always there to help us make decisions on insurance, home inspections, appraisals, etc. After closing, she continued to make herself available to answer questions, provide advice and help us identify service providers to get our new home ready for occupancy. To this day, we continue to use Maria as a resource for answering questions about the local community and address new homeowner issues. Maria has been more than a Realtor. She's been a trusted friend, always willing to help. We love Maria!" -giaquinto24 (Zillow)

"Maria helped us sell our home in record time! We could not have chosen a better realtor. As out of state sellers we needed a realtor we could rely on. Maria was exactly that - she was so reliable, available by phone/text at any time, and always willing to go that extra strep to help us sell the house. She managed several vendors for us and ensured the house was taken care of at all times. We accepted an offer within 1 week of listing our house with Maria. The sale went smoothly and she was there every step of the way. She is not only a great realtor but also a great person. You will be in great hands with Maria as your realtor." -crystalhustad

“My brother & I were very pleased with Maria’s professional and courteous services that we received from her (Tropical Realty) during the purchasing of our Condo/Townhouse in Melbourne, Florida.  I will recommend Maria (Tropical Realty) to my friends and colleagues, that I come across in the future, who are looking to buy or sell property in the Cocoa Beach / Merritt Island / Melbourne areas.” -Steve & Greg

“I cannot say enough good things about Maria as a realtor. Jumping into a frenzied market as a first-time homebuyer was a bit daunting, but Maria worked day and night to find us the perfect home. With an abundance of offers on any given home, sellers weren’t feeling the pressure to be punctual with responses. Maria never left us in the dark. We always knew when a request was sent, if we were waiting for a response, if a follow-up had been sent, and when we were approved for a viewing. She relayed the information to us as she received it, and the entire process felt like a team effort. Once we found a home, and the real process started, Maria was very knowledgeable in all the steps needed to get to the finish line. This allowed us to be organized in our gathering of information and be informed about where we were in the process. Maria is a great negotiator and truly cares about her clients. Our transaction had a few bumps in the road due to the nature of the sale, but many nights my fiancé and I counted our blessings for having Maria as a realtor. What could have been a nightmare-ish experience, became a learning experience for us all. She’s dedicated, knowledgeable, and a joy to communicate with.” -Jacob
