FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
My advice to buyers is to start by reviewing their finances carefully and ensure they're comfortable purchasing a home within their budget. It’s essential to know what you can afford while maintaining your lifestyle. The first step is to talk to a lender to get pre-approved, ensuring you're qualified and giving you a clear understanding of your financial limits. This will help guide your home search and make you a stronger candidate when submitting an offer
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
My advice to sellers is to take the time to properly prepare their home before it hits the market. This preparation can include decluttering, making minor repairs, and staging the property to create a great first impression. The more effort you put into prepping your home, the better it will show, and this can significantly increase its perceived value and help attract serious buyers
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
I have had the pleasure of working with a wide range of clients, including investors, first-time home buyers, second-home buyers, out-of-state sellers and buyers, and those in the market for luxury listings. Each client has unique needs, and I tailor my approach to ensure they receive the best possible service and achieve their real estate goals

The best! We are first time home buyers and she explained, helped and walked us through everything so that we understood all . I would definitely recommend her. Very professional but also laid back just enough to make you feel comfortable while looking for your dream home. I could not ask for a better agent during this process.

I had the pleasure to work with Maria while I was in Tampa Bay looking for an investment property. Her knowledges on the area and the buying process help us made the decision on what to buy very easy. She always listened to our needs and captured exactly what we were looking for. I will definitely recommend her and use her services again. Thanks so much Maria!

I gave Maria a very short period of time to sell our home and she came through for us! She went to work right away and had two open house showings that provided us a serious buyer within just a few weeks period of time. This agent is a hard worker and is full of energy!

We are extremely satisfied with Maria Azuaje. Her commitment, expertise, and professionalism truly differentiate her from all others realtors we tried before. We were first home buyers, and new to the area. Maria guided us over the process and taught us a great amount of helpful tips. We look for homes intensively with Maria, and after visiting about twenty houses, she found aEURoethe oneaEUR? for us in South Tampa. The purchase of the first family home is such an important decision, I am very pleased we had Maria Azuaje as our real estate agent. Maria Azuaje always kept our best interest in mind, matching the properties to our requirements, instead of trying to influence our decision in any way. The whole process was really enjoyable, and when we had to take our two boys to a few home opens she was great. Thanks!
