Maria was amazingly helpful in buying our first home.

She was able to point out homes we liked because they fit us now - but also how they wouldn't be a good fit five years from now. She quickly got a feel for what we were looking for, and could recommend lots of promising properties. Maria also kept a calm head in a crazy market, even through several frustrations, until we found the right house. She had great advice on negotiation - particularly how to look after our interests and budget without insulting sellers.

Maria is by far the best REALTOR® i've had the pleasure to work with.

She is professional, knowledgeable and will get your house sold. Maria guided us thru the entire process and made it as smooth as possible from start to finish.

Work with the best.

We have worked with Maria on three home sales and purchases over almost 20 years. We choose her each time because of her experience and expertise, her knowledge of the real estate environment, her patience with stressed clients, and her lovely personality. She knows the markets, knows what to look for when touring a listed house, keeps up with the complicated legal web surrounding real estate transactions, was always accessible to us, and was a pleasure to deal with. She’s very serious about representing her clients’ best Interests - she has always offered us excellent guidance and advice. We recommend Maria whole heartedly to anyone wanting a great real estate advocate on their side.

I am so grateful for Maria!

She found and helped us purchase our first home this year. She is so knowledgeable in every aspect of home buying. She was very patient with us, as we were new to viewing homes and eventually purchasing! Very assuring every step of the way. I never thought we would find a home that met exactly what we were looking for but she was very diligent in finding it! I recommend her immensely!

Maria helped us to both buy and sell our home.

We started looking back in 2018 and she stuck with us for over 3 years until we found the perfect home. I think had we found this home at the beginning of our journey we wouldn’t have realized it was the perfect home but Maria’s guidance and patience helped us get there. Maria has also been a life saver when it comes to recommendations (plumbers, roofers, electricians, photographers, etc) she works with the best people who like her are professional and honest. All of Maria’s homes sell fast and for over asking; ours was no exception. Also just to say that when money is involved, people can be super nasty. Maria is a REALTOR® who is above that. She is honest, ethical and knows how to navigate difficult/ stressful situations. It’s impossible to foresee what this market throw at you..in addition to persistence and luck, having a tough, honest and loyal REALTOR® by your side can make all the difference. It did for us!

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Maria on the purchase of our first house in Pittsburgh, and we cannot emphasize enough how exceptional she was throughout the entire process. Maria's expertise, dedication, and genuine care for her clients set her apart.1. Strategic Location Suggestions:Maria took the time to understand our preferences and lifestyle, suggesting areas and locations in Pittsburgh that perfectly matched our interests. Her knowledge of the local market was impressive, and we felt confident that we were exploring neighborhoods that aligned with our needs.2. Patient and Friendly Approach:What impressed us the most about Maria was her consistent commitment to our search. Throughout the entire year, she dedicated herself tirelessly to working alongside us, never pushing or rushing the process. Her friendly nature made every interaction a pleasure, and she expertly arranged showings that accommodated our schedule.3. Negotiation Skills and Financial Guidance:When our offer got accepted, Maria really excelled in handling negotiations. What's worth mentioning is that, even in a competitive market, Maria didn't hesitate to submit offers below the listing price. Her strategic approach to negotiations not only ensured a smooth process but also resulted in significant cost savings for us. Additionally, Maria recommended a lender who secured the best deal for our mortgage. Despite thorough exploration and even changing lenders mid-process, Maria's suggestion ultimately proved to be the wisest choice.4. Spotting Hidden Gems:Despite our constant search, it was Maria who recommended the house we eventually purchased. She has an uncanny ability to spot hidden gems in the market, and we are grateful for her keen eye. Without her recommendation, we might have missed out on the perfect home.If you are in the market for a house in the Pittsburgh area, Maria should unquestionably be your go-to person. Her professionalism, dedication, exceptional negotiation skills, and overall outstanding service made our homebuying journey not only successful but also unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend Maria to anyone seeking a top-notch realtor who goes above and beyond for their clients."

"Maria is very pleasant to work with. She is a person of integrity and professionalism. Thanks to her I was able to purchase a house during a very though 2021 market. When suggesting houses for me, she was always very considerate of my budget, household size, personal preferences, and house location. Maria provided valuable recommendations and guidance when we were touring houses. She referred me to a good inspector, bank, insurance, and other house related services. She went above and beyond for my case: always was responsive even after hours, wrote many offers for me, was present during inspections, communicated with a bank and a title company. She knows Pittsburgh neighborhoods very well and understands true value of a house. She was able to negotiate a great deal for me even in this sellers’ market. I am very grateful for Maria’s outstanding work and happy with my new home."

"We worked with Maria over about a year and a half of trial and error to find a house that fit for my husband and I in the location that we wanted. As first-time homebuyers, we really had no idea what we were doing or what to look for in homes. Maria answered all of our questions and then some. She shared tips and insight into what makes a well-maintained home and what we might want to avoid, and she was so patient with our lack of expertise. She was always easy to reach and very communicative. I highly recommend working with Maria!"

"I can't praise Maria DePasquale highly enough for her superb service and commitment during the recent sale of our house in Point Breeze, Pittsburgh. Maria was more than a real estate agent, she was a guide, an advisor, and an expert, effortlessly navigating us through the complex process of selling a property.Firstly, Maria's knowledge of the real estate market in Pittsburgh is unparalleled. She understood our property's potential and intricacies, and devised a perfect strategy to get it on the market. Her attention to detail and knack for staging truly made our home stand out. Each room was tastefully presented, highlighting the charm and character of the house, which no doubt contributed to the successful and timely sale.Moreover, Maria's commitment to going the extra mile became evident when we encountered a significant hiccup - an unresolved lien on the property from 2016. The situation could have easily derailed the sale, but Maria refused to let that happen. She tirelessly chased down leads, contacted Citizens Bank, and even reached out to her professional contacts to ensure the document issue was resolved. It's not an exaggeration to say that Maria's resourcefulness and dedication saved the day.Throughout the process, Maria was always communicative, keeping us updated at every step and promptly addressing any queries or concerns we had. Her professionalism, expertise, and determination ensured that our property didn't just sell, it sold well and quickly.Maria's passion for her work is truly commendable, and her warm, personable demeanor made what could have been a stressful process, an enjoyable one. She left no stone unturned in her quest to provide us with the best possible service, proving herself to be a top-tier real estate professional.In a market that can often be challenging and stressful to navigate, Maria DePasquale is a beacon of calm, competence, and professionalism. I wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone seeking a real estate agent who will not only get the job done, but exceed expectations in doing so. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Maria, and we can't thank her enough for her outstanding service."
