About Maria

Luxury real estate is more than my profession. It is where architecture, design, lifestyle, and meaningful relationships come together and I consider it a privilege to help my clients begin the next chapter of theirs. 

My appreciation for timeless homes began long before my real estate career. I was born and raised in Saint Petersburg (the original one, not the one in Florida) the historic city celebrated for its imperial palaces, magnificent architecture, and rich cultural heritage. Surrounded by extraordinary beauty from an early age, I developed a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, history, and design. Classically trained, I also learned the values of discipline, precision, and harmony, qualities that continue to guide every aspect of my business today.

Like many of my clients, I understand what it means to build a new life in a new place. Witnessing my son's journey into becoming a successful aerospace engineer constantly reminds me that dedication, perseverance, and believing in your dreams open remarkable opportunities. Those experiences allow me to genuinely understand the excitement, challenges, and life-changing decisions that often accompany a move.

For more than two decades, I have helped buyers, sellers, and investors navigate the real estate market with absolute confidence. My career includes working with one of the nation's premier luxury home builders as well as some of the industry's most respected real estate brands. This background gives me an exceptional understanding of luxury construction, new development, strategic negotiation, and deep market analytics. This extensive expertise ultimately earned me the Accredited Luxury Home Specialist designation.

Today, as a Broker Associate with ONE Sotheby's International Realty, I proudly serve Palm Beach and South Florida's luxury market while maintaining a strong, active presence throughout the Northeast. Many of my clients are relocating between these vibrant markets and I thrive on turning what can feel like an overwhelming transition into a seamless, well-planned experience. Whether you are moving for Florida's year-round sunshine, purchasing a second home, or expanding your investment portfolio, I provide local expertise and continuity every step of the way.

My approach is built on discretion, integrity, thoughtful strategy, and genuine relationships. Backed by the unmatched global reach of the Sotheby's International Realty network, I combine market intelligence with concierge-level service to ensure you feel supported and confident. My commitment remains the same, which is to provide exceptional representation, meticulous attention to detail, and an experience that exceeds expectations. My goal isn't simply to help you complete a single transaction, because I want to become your trusted real estate partner for life.
