Maria’s clients love her!

Maria did an absolute amazing job helping my in-laws sell their home and purchase a new home. With both of them in their 80’s she kept the family in the loop the whole time with tasks to be completed. She was patient with them and went above and beyond. I do not know that someone else would have provided the same service she did. The day of the open house we receive over 14 offers for well over the asking price of their home and their purchase their new home for the asking price. Wonderful job and I would not hesitate to recommend her to family and friends.

Maria went way beyond our expectations. Maria, on behalf of my two sisters and myself, acted as selling agent for my deceased brother’s condominium. We all live in the Western US and, due to the distance, had but a week and a half to prepare the condo for sale. Following our departure, Maria arranged for a thrift organization to remove and dispose of the remaining furniture, etc., as well as, for the repainting of the interior and recarpeting. She was the most pleasant, respectful, informed, and efficient realtor I have ever worked with. The result of her efforts was a selling price of $45K higher than we expected. Maria earned her commission. I strongly recommend her as a realtor.

Maria did a great job. She went above any expectations our family had. On a 1 to 10 (ten being the highest score) I would give her an 11. We will recommend her and hire her in the future.

My sister and I had the immense pleasure of working with Maria V. with The Wendy Slaughter Team. Maria V. worked relentlessly to help us sell our father’s estate, guiding us through the process from start to finish.

Maria V. is an absolute force to be reckoned with in the real estate business. She devoted every ounce of energy and creativity towards our goal and never stopped until we reached our goal. It was inspiring to watch her in action to say the least!

She was extremely attentive to our needs while dealing with a family loss and very warm and supportive. Maria V. encompasses a professionalism unrivaled by the masses and a passion for helping people that truly left me speechless. Maria’s most admirable quality is her ability to remain laser focused and positive in the most challenging situations.

I’ll be forever grateful for everything you’ve done to help my family through this process. Thank you to your entire team as well!

Maria was great to work with. She sold my parent’s house and helped them with buying a condo. She went above and beyond to help my parents who are older. We all greatly appreciate everything She did. I would highly recommend her!
— Chris F., Ellicott City
Maria was awesome to work with - she was able to put together a listing with great photos that accentuated the features of the condo we were selling. Maria was great at following up with each and every lead, and sometimes more than once when there was a “Hot Buyer”. She was also able to find solutions to each of the challenges we encountered. Very pleased with her and her team! “Happy Camper”

Maria is great at what she does! We bought our first home during the COVID-19 pandemic and Maria was there for us every step of the way. She was patient with us and also very determined that we find our first home. We spoke almost every day about new listings in the area, she always made herself available for showings immediately, and she always had our back! I highly recommend working with Maria :)
— Paige Doyle Schultz, Ellicott City
Maria made our experience buying our first home easy and very enjoyable. Maria was always in contact with us and made sure we had all the information we needed to feel comfortable and confident in our purchase. I highly recommend Maria as your future agent. Great job Maria! You are truly an amazing and knowledgeable agent. We will be using you again in the future.
— Lisa Whitney & Brendan Hardy, Brooklyn Park
Maria was very attentive. Any question I had or problem I had, not only would she respond immediately but fix the problem. Maria was also very knowledgeable and knew the area very well. If for some reason she wasn’t sure on a question she was quick to find the answer. I definitely would recommend her.

When my two brothers and I needed to sell our mother’s house in Leisure World, we dreaded the tremendous amount of work, but even more so, filling out unfamiliar legal documentation. We live on the west and east U.S. coasts and have demanding full time jobs. Our apprehension was greatly overestimated due to the outstanding services provided by Maria and The Wendy Slaughter Team. They minimized our stress in navigating a complex process. Maria has outstanding communication, planning, and educational skills. She evaluated our situation, presented plan options, and shared expertise that quickly led to a very successful sale. Maria made sure we knew where we were at each stage of selling our mother’s property and what to expect next. She found convenient times to schedule Zoom meetings so that all three sons could simultaneously participate, despite living in different time zones. If we had questions requiring more specialized expertise, she enlisted help from qualified people on her team to promptly answer them. She exhibited boundless energy and expertly helped us manage expectations throughout this experience. We are more than satisfied with the sale price and how efficiently the entire process was completed. Maria is professional and sensitive, and, if it were my own kids selling my house, I’d want Maria to guide them.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding service provided by Maria Villani, part of the Wendy Slaughter Team, throughout the process of selling my mother’s home. Maria exemplifies everything you could hope for in a realtor and more.

From the moment we met Maria, her warmth and kindness immediately put us at ease during what could have been a stressful time. Her patience and understanding as we navigated the emotions of selling our family home were truly remarkable. Maria took the time to listen attentively to our needs and concerns, providing us with a range of options tailored to our unique situation.

One of the most remarkable aspects of working with Maria was her ability to make distance a non-issue. With my brothers and I spread across the country, we were initially concerned about the logistics of selling our mother’s home. However, Maria expertly managed every aspect of the sale, keeping us informed and involved every step of the way. Her clear communication and proactive approach ensured that no detail was overlooked.

Maria’s dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for us was evident throughout the process. Not only did she sell our mother’s home within the timeframe we needed, but she also secured a competitive market value that exceeded our expectations. Her expertise and commitment to her clients truly set her apart.

I wholeheartedly recommend Maria to anyone in need of a knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated realtor. She exceeded all our expectations and made a potentially daunting experience incredibly smooth and successful.

The Wendy Slaughter Team handled the sale of my father’s home after he passed away. I was in one state, my sister in another, and the home itself, in another state. They worked tirelessly and went above and beyond. Maria V communicated with me and my sister daily, sending pictures and updates. They were professional as well as personable, it was difficult to sell the home I grew up in. They are an amazing team!! Thank you Maria V. for all your hard work. You are greatly appreciated 🫶

I picked Maria Villani to assist me in finding my new home after a divorce. Maria was very attentive to my needs and never gave up trying to find exactly what I was looking for in Hagerstown, Md. Her attitude kept me going in the crazy market!!! We were able to find the exact home that I had in mind. Hopefully, I’ll never need another real-estate agent, but if I do it will be MARIA VILLANI!!!!!!

My husband and I were stationed overseas in Japan and had found another agent a few months before our move. We told that agent what we wanted and put him in contact with my brother, who lived in the MD area. I wanted the agent to show my brother properties based on our criteria. The agent was less than responsive and we ended doing most of the work while still being overseas. When we finally arrived in the US, the agent still hadn’t found any properties and he cancelled our first face to face meeting to be with another client. At that point my brother told us about Maria. He and his wife used her services when they were looking for a new place to rent. They were very impressed with her work. They put us in contact with her and within a day of talking with her, she already had found properties for us to look at. She was super responsive and really took our needs and criteria into consideration when finding the properties. If we had any questions about the properties, she would contact the property management in a timely manner to get answers. When we finally found a property to rent, she was there for us through the contract process, making sure we understood all terms. She was our intermediary with the property management. She was there to go through the pre-move in inspection and crafted an email of our findings with pictures that was sent to the property management. She followed up with us to make sure things were getting fixed or replaced. We are so happy that my brother told us about Maria. We were super impressed with her professionalism and her work ethic and would definitely recommend her to anyone!
