Maria Carros

Crispin and Heather

As recent arrivals both to Canada in general, and new to the housing market in Vancouver in particular, Maria was introduced and recommended to us by friends.

Maria did a sterling job in assisting us with the purchase of our new family home, with consummate patience and constant support despite our varying demands and mounting odds.  We found Maria’s high level of professionalism and willingness to endure a long search together with us extremely reassuring. Beyond her evident wealth of knowledge of the local housing market, preferred locations and associated investment potential, Maria was also of tremendous assistance with her insights into a number of aspects of life in Vancouver which proved very useful to us when finally choosing an appropriate location in which to live. Moreover, she had the ability to make what was a stressful time for our family relatively easy, flexible and even enjoyable!

We were equally impressed by Maria’s thorough approach and comprehensive negotiating skills when it finally came the time to conclude the deal.

Now well established, and with boxes unpacked, we are not only all very happy in our new home but also increasingly pleased with the neighbourhood we have chosen, largely due to Maria’s guidance and hard work. It has all worked out very well for all our family’s various requirements including community, schools and transportation and our general day to day needs.

We would have no hesitation in further recommending Maria’s services.

Thank you for helping me find my new home. I love it, and it really suits me perfectly! But I have to thank you as well for going “over and above the call of duty” in my case. You took the time to find my “fit”! I am absolutely certain that any other Real Estate Agent, understandably, would have given up on me a long time ago… You instead, have proven yourself to be an exceptional member of your profession in that regard. You are such a great person, and your positive attitude to life, your boundless energy, and your joyfulness are positively infectious! It was such a pleasure to have met you, and I will have no trouble unreservedly recommending you to friends and colleagues. In fact, I almost want to encourage them to sell up, just so they can have the experience of meeting the wonderful Maria Carros!

We have appreciated your initiative, attention to detail, and follow-ups. Your professionalism served us very well, and will be pleased to recommend your services to other buyers or sellers. I am very grateful to M.. for having recommended you to us as a Realtor. She said at the outset that you would work hard to find us a home, and she was sure right. You prepared us well to make our successful offer. We felt confident in our offer, and knew we were in good hands to have you present it. Great job!

We have recently purchased a property on 35th Avenue in Vancouver. Our real estate agent who assisted us in purchasing the property was Maria Carros.
When we first decided to look for a property, Mrs. Carros knew exactly what we were looking for in a house, and she led us in the right direction. She showed us properties in various locations in Vancouver since our prime choice was the Vancouver Area.
She spent ample time with us every day taking us from one property to another. With her guidance, we gained a very good experience in what to look for in a house.
Mrs. Carros is an honest person who is willing to guide and assist her clients with an open heart. She made the search for a new place so simple that within two weeks, we found exactly what we were looking for.
We are pleased with our choice of our home and we owe our appreciation and gratitude to Mrs. Carros. We wish her all the best in her business endeavor.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you wish to ask any questions.

Maria Carros far exceeded the expectations we had of a real estate agent. She put in numerous hours viewing and checking listings and finding homes before they were listed, in order to save us time. Maria is honest, sincere, and understanding (newlyweds looking for a home… a bit stressful at times). Maria earned our trust and respect from the onset. Maria’s knowledge of the real estate market and profession is extremely impressive and I am certain that her knowledge coupled with her experience and negotiation skills ensured we obtained the home of our dreams.
Very early on in the process, Maria recognized that we did not necessarily agree on what we were looking for, she went out of her way to respect both our views and tastes showing us a variety of homes. As a result we were able to walk into our home and know immediately that without a shadow of a doubt this is what we both wanted.
Maria’s post sale service is continuing, we have friends who have recently bought and are amazed by Maria’s follow up service that they have not received from their own agents. We would personally recommend Maria and would be happy to speak with you directly and answer any questions you may have.

I already had a real estate agent when I first met Maria at a property I was visiting on my own. She was very friendly, resourceful and experienced. She won me over and I knew that I needed to make a change. She of course followed up with me the next morning and I was convinced she was the type of agent I required. So I cancelled the services of my then current agent and chose Maria instead.

Maria is someone who always kept me top of mind and made me feel like I was her one and only client – although I knew she was busy. She truly cared about finding me the best property at the best price and the best potential for resale. After a couple of months and some frustration, Maria never wavered and we persevered. I finally bought my first home and Maria walked me through this foreign process patiently. She was thorough and comforting all the while.

My experience with Maria was definitely worth recommending. She always had a smile on her face and found a way to cheer me up when I was frustrated with the whole process. She was my agent then but through the process became my friend.

Thanks Maria.

We recently purchased a property in Vancouver with Maria Carros as our realtor.

Although we have lived in Vancouver for several years, we are immigrants to Canada and first-time home buyers, and didn't know all the in's and out's to buying a property. She helped us beyond just finding a property, and assisted us in answering legal and mortgage related questions, understanding the purchasing process and providing good contacts in trade industries to help us perform some minor renovations of our new home.

Maria is sincere and patient, and she always treated us in a friendly and caring manner which made us feel welcome at all times and as if were her only clients. She assessed each property we viewed as if she would buy it herself and provided us with invaluable insight.

We are very thankful for all her work, she has been great in every aspect and we highly recommend her!
