We had the best experience selling our home with Maria and Paras Real Estate! Maria and her team helped us get the home staged to perfection, priced exactly right, and hosted an extremely busy open house. In just 3 days we had 5 offers over asking! Maria helped with all the many elements of selling once an offer is accepted and answered all my calls or texts immediately. I've known a lot of real estate agents over the years but Maria is the hardest working, most tuned into the market and neighborhoods, and simply a joy to work with. After over 3 decades in our home, Maria made a bittersweet sale easy, fast and very profitable. She worked her tail off for us and went above and beyond to make the whole process easy from 2 states away.
