This is the second time we have worked with Maria Garate to purchase a unit at The Shotes, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. We were waiting for a specific unit to be available, and thanks to Maria’s persistence, relationships, and market knowledge, she secured an off-market opportunity for us that matched what we were looking for. What stood out was her ability to navigate challenges throughout the transaction with professionalism, calmness, and confidence. She handled every detail proactively and consistently found solutions, communicated clearly, and made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless. We felt supported every step of the way and are incredibly grateful for everything she did to make this happen. We would highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and hardworking real estate professional.
Maria is the gold standard for real estate at the Shores. She is a cut above the rest. She is competent, professional, detail-oriented, and pleasant to work with. With her positive attitude, she approaches every day with enthusiasm. Maria is unique and creative in her approach and extremely thorough. She is kind and engaging and truly listens to and appreciates feedback. Maria works tirelessly to make deals happen. She understands the market and is very knowledgeable about the Shores. Maria went the extra mile every step of the way. Maria is the only agent we could recommend for sales and purchases at the Shores. If you are looking to buy or sell, look no further. Maria is the best of the best. Not only does she get the job done, but she also does it with integrity and class.
Working with Maria and Olga again was an absolute pleasure. They are truly the experts when it comes to Coronado and The Shores. Maria got my property into escrow within a week and handled every aspect of the transaction seamlessly while I was out of town. Her communication was impeccable, her attention to detail unmatched, and her negotiation skills ensured I got the best outcome possible. If you want someone who knows the market inside and out and takes care of everything from start to finish, Maria is the realtor you want by your side.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Maria as my real estate agent. I can honestly say she is the best in the business. I have known her on a personal level for over 20 years. She found my husband and me our dream home in San Diego, helped us write a strong offer quickly, and walked us through the entire process of buying our first home. She made us feel at ease and took the time to understand our needs. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication allowed us to close within 45 days and feel confident about this once-in-a-lifetime purchase. She went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable with every step of the process, and her warm and caring personality made it easy to trust her. I highly recommend Maria–she truly is an amazing agent and the greatest friend!
