As founder of MX Associates, Maria has rooted her real estate ideals in the long-ago lesson she learned while building her former Huntington Beach restaurant into an institution that welcomed thousands of diners each month. “The most important person in this business,” her father said, “is the person sitting in that booth.” Maria’s obsessive client care is the hallmark of her 22-year real estate career and while the numbers compiled by her authenticity are staggering – 528 career sales equaling $388 million in transactions – her method is simplistic and genuine. “You don’t want a client for one transaction,” she recently told her growing team. “You want a client for life.” Whether it’s connecting with a local entrepreneur over business methods, staging frequent community events or finding that common bond with young parents or independent individuals, Maria prides herself on her ability to fully embrace each specific dream. She devotes a daily regimen of meditation, study and yoga to sharpen her physical and mental fitness and insists on quality family time with her husband of 40 years, Jim, their two children and three grandchildren.
