Willis Allen Real Estate

Maria brought so much to the process of selling our family's home in Encinitas CA - honestly a lot more than either of us expected. She guided us on improvements to the home prior to the sale, helping us make decisions on what would bring the best outcome. The renovation process was frustrating, as the contractor our family hired took a lot longer than expected. Maria went to bat for us over and over, remaining patient and very communicative throughout this period. We couldn't have have made a better decision than to engage her! We had hired a company called Curbio to do some renovations to the home prior to the sale. This company was unorganized and unethically non-responsive, putting us through the wringer. What was initially supposed to be a 12 week process ended up taking 9 months of headaches and frustration. We ended up having to work with three different Curbio project managers and three different subcontractors, so it just stretched on. Maria really took the lead as our advocate during this time, making sure that we kept things on track as much as possible. (If it isn't clear - please do not hire Curbio for your own projects unless you want this same type of frustration). The process of selling a home is daunting, even without construction woes. Maria helped us understand all the requirements for legal compliance and guided us through it. When we were finally ready to list, she helped us strategize the sale price so that we could maximize the gain without letting the house sit on market too long. Maria was entirely on top of all the resources she needed to make this happen, as well, with established colleagues for final touches including staging (both interior and landscape), photography, marketing. I should also mention that Maria works with an amazing team at Willis Allen. The broker stepped in on our behalf with Curbio, as well, and the paperwork process was so smoothly handled by her realtor colleague. We ended up so pleased with the results that I'm happy to give a recommendation to Maria and her team. I'm sure we'll be working with her again in the future.

Maria did an amazing job helping us find our home! My wife and I were first time home buyers. Maria helped walk us through every step of the home buying processes. She was also very patient with us as we were searching through homes. She had great insights on the properties, locations, and etc. Additionally she has built up a fantastic referral network. After buying the home she helped us coordinate with cleaners, repair folks, lawyers, etc. and every person has been top quality. It was such a job working with her!

I absolutely LOVED working with Maria Zventina - realtor with a heroic cape! I connected with Maria through a referral. I was looking for an experienced realtor with knowledge of probate in the San Diego County area. From our very first interaction, I knew she was the perfect realtor for my family. In the beginning, I was juggling a demanding job and felt burdened with the responsibility of managing my father's estate. One of the major hurdles of the estate was selling my father's home. I had no prior knowledge or experience of probate and did not want to let my family down. Maria eased my stresses and graciously took on more than I anticipated. She informed me of what to expect in selling my father's home and the uniqueness of probate. Maria made me feel like I was her top priority, not just in her frequent communications, but in her actions. Any concerns I shared with Maria, she quickly found solutions and had a pool of resources. I was honestly wowed by her solution finding skills, proactiveness and dedication. Maria's superb attention to detail in my probate court documents and contractual third-party agreements truly saved me a lot of hassle. For instance, there were discrepancies with my level of authority in my father's estate that impacted the property - Maria quickly identified. In addition, she also identified errors in a repair order contract that could have cost the estate more money. Selling my father's property was a success thanks to Maria! If you are looking for a top-notch realtor in the San Diego County area, I highly recommend Maria Zventina!

Maria was fantastic to work with! She helped me find a rental property from out of state amid a tight market with quickly increasing rates, and despite sellers generally being overzealous given the changing dynamics. We were in contact daily and often nightly as there seemed to be new issues to resolve every step of the way. She stayed on top of everything while maintaining fantastic communication, so I felt confident to close when the time came. Shes a true professional. Im glad that I hired her as my buyer agent and hope to have the opportunity work with her again in the future.
