Our clients share their experiences
I want to highly recommend our Realtor, Maria Rivera, who provided us extraordinary service from beginning to end. This isn’t stated lightly.
The Austin area is a fast moving market in real estate, and Maria helped us make good choices and presented us with the best advice and guidance during our home search. Our family is unique, with a special needs child, she understood how important it was for us to find the right home and neighborhood that could meet all of our needs. Maria goes above and beyond. This was proven when our initial lender created a debacle of errors and delays, and everything seemed to go awry.
Maria took charge and she found us an outstanding lender and the support we needed to get to the finish line. Maria is a lovely person, a great listener, and a wonderful soul. We now have a wonderful home and we know that Maria’s determination and skill made this seemingly difficult process all seem effortless.

I would recommend - I DO recommend - Maria to anyone who needs a realtor. She was extremely knowledgeable about the Austin market and the ins and outs of the process of buying a home, always explaining every step patiently until I understood. She provided sound advice when it came to negotiating price, and the seller met my request at every turn. Having her calm reassurance during what can be a very stressful period was enormously helpful. I'm so grateful to her and I love my new home! I can't say enough good things about Maria. This was my first house purchase and I knew nothing about the process.
Maria went out of her way to guide me through the overwhelming; but, exciting time. Maria is very knowledgeable. It is evident that she just doesn't want to just sell you any house. She wants to sell you a house that you will be happy in! I worked with her for about a year. (It's hard having a budget when you are buying a house in Austin.) She was so patient! I have been in my new home for a little over a week and I never have been happier! I am living in a home in an area that I never thought that I could afford; but, with due time & Maria's hard work, I am now living 2 miles away from downtown and less than a mile away from Town Lake running trail! Thank you Maria!

We had the best experience working with Maria! After living in our new house for over a month now, we are loving it and so thrilled that Maria helped us find our amazing first home in Austin. The process was so smooth, I couldn’t believe how much Maria helped take the stress out of everything. Maria was so easy to work with and was patient and eager to help us learn all the aspects of buying a house for the first time. I would recommend her to anyone!

Maria Rivera made selling our home so easy! Neither of us have had a lot of home selling experience, but Maria made the process quick and efficient and painless. She brought a sound strategy to the table on day 1 of the process and made sure we were competitive with the market while simultaneously watching other homes in the area to be certain we sold at the maximum amount possible for our home. I highly recommend Maria!

Maria is a very knowledgeable and capable real estate agent. Bottom line, she sold my house very quickly at a good price. She responded to all my questions very quickly and provided one-on-one service as she walked me through some of the rather complicated real estate processes. She has an extremely nice, sincere personality and you could not go wrong employing her as your real estate agent.

Maria helped me purchase my first investment property in the USA. Since I knew very little of the US market, I needed a professional person who had a creative approach and would make the market more transparent. Maria has very extensive local knowledge and with her creative insight suggested ideas that I had not yet considered. The reasoning was sound and based on investment plans that were successful for other investors. Once the decision was made in which market segment to invest into, the process of finding properties was expertly handled and I found exactly what I was looking for during a fact finding visit. The offer was made and Maria negotiated a good price that resulted in a very attractive yield. Exactly what I was looking for. While the offers were being made, Maria also found a property manager and maintenance team.
The deal was concluded a few days ago and the process was well organised and expertly scheduled. Maria is an excellent agent and also an essential store of practical knowledge. She brings along an competent contact base, all of whom worked together to make the deal worry free.

How do you describe a person who has impacted your life so greatly? A person that advocated and protected your interests as if they were her own? A person so insightful after determining your most secret hearts desire toward the perfect home --guides you and devotes endless time in fulfilling that perfect dream home? Because of Maria's undying dedication and devotion to every client ---you are made to feel as if you are the only client and of the utmost priority.
My gratitude to Maria will never cease. After providing her with what I would regard as a "tall order" regarding price, area, and local amenities, she went on a relentless pursuit. I almost missed my dream home by ruling it out---- I laugh a little because that's where her expertise came in...gently, respectfully nudging me and encouraging me to at least look at it while in the area! She knew it was my perfect home because she makes it her living mastering her clients' needs. It was more than I expected!! Thank you, Maria, for all that you are in your humble and gracious approach to what could be perceived as a difficult business with unruly sellers. You're the calm in rough waters. May all the blessings you bestow be returned to you 10-fold.

It is well known that the Austin area real estate market is highly competitive and some would say aggressive even. We have learned that it takes some elevated skills to navigate, position and negotiate. In order to be an all around effective agent, it also takes someone who thinks outside the box to accomplish the goal of purchasing a home here. Maria displayed all of these skills and a level of professionalism that was effective in achieving our goal. Adjustments were made on her part, after weighing situations that displayed the knowledge of an expert. As a result, we now have and reside in our Home thanks to all her hard work and effort. Maria was absolutely wonderful. We were very new to the process and she guided us perfectly. She's smart, funny while remaining professional, and diligent. I would recommend her to anyone.

Maria was a great asset when it came to purchasing a new home. She helped us navigate the process smoothly and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. She made sure we knew and understood all the details of the negotiation, the paperwork and the house itself so that we could feel confident all our questions had been answered. She communicated effectively throughout the process so that we always knew where we were in the process and when each step was completed or likely to be completed. We're so pleased with her on the buying side that we will be using her on an upcoming sale of a house. We highly recommend Maria to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in the Austin area.
