Maritza helped us relocate to Southern California during this crazy housing market, plus a global pandemic. We wanted to rent for 12 months to test out the area, really search for our forever home, try out the schools, etc. We were completely disregarded by other realtors because we were looking for a rental. No one would take us seriously and rentals were just as hard to secure at the time. We needed someone who would put in effort for us. Our prior home had sold and we were increasingly nervous about where we were going to move our family of six. Maritza treated us like gold. When we would fly down for a couple hours, she would always free up her schedule to show us property. She will answer her phone, she will text you back, she will care about your individual situation, and most importantly, she will help you. We look forward to working with her again this coming year when we buy our next home.

Maritza took amazing care of our family in both selling our old home and purchasing our dream home. She was there advocating on our behalf every step of the way. She communicated all steps of the process throughly to us as they were happening and helped to problem solve and strategize whenever needed. It was so nice knowing she had our families best interest as the priority through it all.

If you are considering placing your home on the market, I would suggest that you contact Maritza. She met me while I was gardening at the property. I found out she was an agent and I asked her to help me sell my home. She is not just a real estate agent. She took personal pride in making suggestions that she thought would help my property to stand out from others, including choice of wall paint. When I was busy at work, she often met with painters or contractors at my house or with the inspectors. She is very professional and she helped me to get 52 thousand over list price. If I am in the market for a home in California, she will be my agent of choice.

Martiza recently listed and sold our home, and my wife and I were so happy to have worked with her! Maritza is the consummate professional. She is very knowledgeable about each step in the selling process, and she guided us through all of them very smoothly and this was especially helpful in our first home sale. She put forward extra special efforts to help prepare our listing, show our home, and review offers.
We highly, highly recommend working with Martiza!

We knew from day one we were in very capable hands. Maritza's hustle, knowledge, dedication, and support were EXCEPTIONAL. She was very responsive and communicative and consistently went above and beyond in all our interactions. We would highly recommend working with her as she is a TRUE PROFESSIONAL in every sense of the word. Thank you so much, Maritza!

From beginning to end it was a smooth process. When we first met, she brought comps and a proposal for what we should list for, how the market is currently, and all the details around how the process would go.
She worked around our schedule for showings and was always on time. She followed all the covid guidelines to ensure our safety when we would return to the house. She also leveraged her social media accounts to gather additional interest.
We had quite a few offers within a couple of days and she reviewed each one in person with us, outlined the pros/cons and did extreme due diligence to verify all the qualifications and financial status of the buyers and lenders.
We had a smooth closing and she handled all the details behind the scenes and let us rest easy. I highly recommend Maritza as a highly capable agent to represent. you on the buying or selling side of the transaction (or both in our case). She knows the coto/dove area inside and out and has all the 411 on the neighborhoods and areas you want to be in.

Maritza was super attentive and responsive to our needs. After meeting once and talking about our needs and wants, she understood exactly what house we wanted. She instilled confidence in us that she knew exactly what we wanted and that she would find it and not to worry.
We were relocating from the East Coast, so we we did not have the local knowledge, plus we purchased our home from over 3,000 miles away. Maritza did a great job defining the areas she thought we should look and help us navigate the process with ease.
As a buyer in probably the toughest market in the past decade plus, we found our house and purchased it in a matter of 45 days. This was all thanks to Maritza and was a truly amazing feat!
I highly recommend using Maritza for your future home sale and purchase. The process was smooth and flawless.

Maritza is amazing! She really cared about finding the right home for our family. She was really knowledgeable in the areas of the OC and also the school districts which was great because we have children. If you are looking for a responsive, caring, knowledgeable, handworker she is the realtor for you!
