I was raised in an Italian family, where everyone - if you were family or not - was treated like family. You were welcomed into a home where everyone had an open invitation to come and gather together.

I was taught the importance of having values; respect, honesty and integrity and have since carried over those values into my Real Estate business. I look out for my clients' best interest just as though they were my own. It is my goal from beginning to end of the home selling/buying transition to go as smoothly as possible for my clients.

My Family -

I have been married to my contractor husband for 23 years - within that time I have learned a lot about home construction and bring that knowledge with me when helping my clients.

I have 4 children between the ages of 19-13

I have 2 cats.

Naperville My Home -

I was born and raised in Chicago and have made Naperville my home since 1995. Naperville is unique in that it is a large city with  a population of over 140,000, but with a small town feel. There is always something to do in Naperville from summer to winter festivals, a walk along the picturesque Riverwalk, basking in the sun at Centennial Beach, or enjoy some of the best dining establishments and shopping options that Naperville has to offer.   

Naperville is home to two highly rated public school systems and has been named "#1, #2, or #3 Kid Friendliest City" by Zero Population Growth since 1997. Modern Maturity magazine named Naperville among the top ten places to retire in the country; and Home Computing magazine named Naperville among the top five cities in the country to start a home based business. Money magazine has also rated Naperville #1 place to live the midwest and #3 in the country., July 17, 2006: Naperville is rated #2 among Great American Towns in the US by Money Magazine.

Naperville offers a wide array of real estate investment options, from Condos to Luxury Homes, located in Historic neighborhoods or Family friendly subdivisions.

"My wife Bethany and I first met Maria in June of 2009 when we were looking to sell our previous property. We lived in Aurora, and I went on-line to find local real estate agents. Maria's name came up right away, and when we met with her both Beth and I were comfortable from the start. Within a week of listing our home we were getting appointments, and in a month we received an offer. although the property was in nice condition, we truly believe the sale of our previous home was due to Maria's knowledge of the current market, and her professionalism in stay on top of the buyer's side of the transaction. After 1 month of inspections and working with lawyers, we closed on the sale of the home.

Now came the purchase of our new home. I am a small business owner, and like most businesses, my cash flow is what makes my company run. Because of this, we looked for the best "bang for our buck". Maria did an excellent job of finding homes in our price range. She knew I had resources and time to put the work in, and set up 4-5 appointments a day looking at foreclosure and short sale properties. Perhaps Maria's greatest attribute is that she has a very good understanding of her clients. Once we narrowed our selections to 4 properties, she did an excellent job of prioritizing what was most important, and really helping us aim for the perfect home. At the time, the foreclosure property looked like a challenge, but the three of us took one day at a time and lined up the right banking, law firm, and contractors to get the job done in a timely and efficient manner. After 6 weeks of hard work from all sides, we were able to close on the home of our dreams. A day doesn't go by that my wife and I cannot believe where we started 6 months ago, and where we are today. We have thanked Maria multiple times for all her hard work, but I think the smiles on our faces and our happiness due to our new home says it all. I also believe Maria took pride in being able to find this home for us, and she should. She did a great job."

"Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions that will ever be made, and it is important to have the most efficient support team.  Maria was most definitely a major part of our team.  We purchased our primary residence with Maria in September 2008 and we are very happy with our new home.  It was a pleasure working with her and her patience really paid off.  It's great when a realtor allows you to take your time and understands the importance of your final decision.  Being in the mortgage industry for over 6 years I've had many experiences both good and bad, and doing business with Maria was hastle free.  Throughout our search Maria made us feel comfortable and although she is our realtor, she also became a friend of ours.  I have and will continue to refer all of my own referrals/clients, friends and family to Maria knowing they are in good hands."
