TESTIMONIALS

"Ms. Maria was by far the best realtor we could have hired in Monterey County. In less than 48 hours on the market, our home was in escrow and sold within weeks. It wasn’t by accident, but rather, Ms. Maria’s thoroughness and tenacity. Her experience and recommendations to us was the primary reason why our home sold quickly (and above asking price!). We HIGHLY recommend Ms. Maria for any home buyer or seller.“

TESTIMONIALS

We just bought a dream house for our family in East Garrison while selling our old home through Ms. Finkle and her team. It was one of the most complex deals in real estate and perhaps in my entire life. She did an excellent job closing both houses and surpassed our expectations. The overall journey was very difficult with many ups and downs, considering different parties’ involvement, but Maria and her team made it possible. Throughout the process, she was very accessible through all means of communication and provided invaluable advice and emotional support, as, of course, we needed. We found her very caring, friendly, and in the meantime, very professional in dealing with her clients. When it comes to selling my house or buying another property, we will reach out to Maria without any hesitation.

TESTIMONIALS

Working with Maria and her team was an absolute pleasure throughout the entire home-selling process. This was our first time selling a home and she took the time to educate us and go through all the details with us, so we knew exactly what everything meant. She was very communicative from beginning to end and was always available to answer any questions we had. We value her service as she made the process seamless.
