Maria, Eres el mejor! (You are the best!). We can't thank you enough. All the nice comments you heard about Maria Muriello are true and more. Maria Muriello did an excellent job of getting our property sold to a woderful qualified buyer, for top dollar over the listing price and in such a short period of time, with minimal hassle and stress. She and her team, from J's Maid to Patty to Keith and Richie and Ruben, performed excellently on completing all the necessary steps in getting our home ready to show after a short notice. Thanks to her, we're now enjoying the summer retirement by the beach. From the moment of my wife's random pick of Maria's name in the local phone directory to our initial consultation, we always felt that it was devine providence. Her attention to details was just unbelievable. We felt completely at ease with her honesty and fairness with all parties. She thought of things we would never have considered and we followed her excellent suggestions on staging and presenting the home with great results. She knew what was important and how to present the property in the best light(with pun intended for Keith the photographer). We would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Maria to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. Knowledge, experience, results, and fun all carried out in an easy going, friendly manner. Should we mention also her addicting laughter? If you need an experienced realtor who is willing to educate and be friendly, down to earth, and get the job done the ethical way, Maria Muriello should be on top of your list. read more

Have a pad of paper handy when you first meet Maria Muriello. Her ideas for making our house in La Crescenta look its best - without spending a lot of money - just flowed from her during our first visit. With years of experience guiding her suggestions, Maria has an extremely professional approach to marketing homes, and was invaluable in helping us through the process of selling our house. She is also a terrific person. With Maria, we knew we had someone who had our back. She provided referrals to a team of professionals who we hired to help make the house sell. She has a decorator who gave us great suggestions for de-cluttering. Working with the decorator, Maria rearranged our furniture and brought in vases, paintings, and other decorator items to really spruce up the place. She suggested we have a termite pre-sale inspection so there were no surprises, and referred us to other skilled tradespeople, who helped tackle problems and get the house ready for a quick sale. She hired a professional to photograph the house, which really made a difference in how the advertisements looked, both online and on paper. Our house sold ten days after going on the market, with multiple offers. Maria shepherded the sale through escrow, helping us with the paper work and making certain everyone involved followed through. In sum, Maria was terrific to work with, knows the market, and knows how to sell homes. read more

Maria Muriello is one amazing realtor. We literally decided to sell our house of 25 years one day, and had left CA within four weeks. Maria took over EVERYTHING, from staging, repairing, inspecting, unloading the furniture we left behind and exhibiting the patience of Job in dealing with various personalities and glitches. She is highly professional in every area but, as important, she is understanding, compassionate, extremely honest and a lot of fun to work with. She arrived several times in her truck bringing us packing boxes, paper, and tape. And, somehow, just when we were about to run out of materials, she and her truck pulled up, as if on cue, with more supplies. She provided us with excellent referrals regarding movers, and really taught us how to go about our daunting move with the least amount of hassle. We left everything in her very capable hands, when we left town, and were half way across he States in our new neighborhood focusing on moving into our new place, without a single worry of the house we had left behind. Maria even handled our garden needs and a plumbing and foundation glitch We are indebted to her FOR LIFE. She is absolutely fabulous in every way and I wish there were a million rating stars, because I would punch them all. read more

Maria Muriello was the listing agent for a single family home in La Crescenta that I put up for sale in 2011. Maria did an excellent job from start to finish. She very clearly explained the process and all the costs involved up front so there were no misunderstandings. She also inspected the property and advised me on things to do to make the property more attractive and referred me to a number of reliable tradespeople to help make that happen. Maria did a great marketing job - she had the property "staged" with furnishings and the like and also had professional photographs taken for website posting and brochure printing at her own expense. She also arranged multiple "open house" offerings. When offers were made on the property she gave me excellent advice on how to respond and was a vital aid to the negotiations process. When the property was sold Maria was on top of the escrow process from start to finish. Maria handled the entire operation in a very thorough and professional manner and I would highly recommend her to anyone either selling or buying a home. read more

Maria is a bundle of energy, and as others here have written, she has great ideas and great follow through. We had to move my mom from her La Crescenta home of almost 50 years to the east coast where my brother and I both live. It was overwhelming to even contemplate since we both have families and work. Besides the selling, there were the kinds of details that we just couldn't manage or really even anticipate -- yard upkeep, utilities, return the cable TV equipment, taking unsold items to Goodwill, getting receipts, selling her car. I do mean endless, and Maria got them taken care of. The house sold at a price we were happy with, and the whole process from start to the check in my mom's hands took just about 3 months to the day--with a very, very complicated escrow process. If you know what you want and need to have accomplished, and you have your own ducks in a row, Maria is the one. I miss her now that it is all over. read more

I have been very fortunate to know Maria Muriello for a long time. When it came time to sell my mother's house, I immediately thought of Maria. She not only does an amazing job helping you get your house ready but is there for you in countless ways. No question or request is too small. Her professionism and knowledge is amazing. She really cares about her clients and is there to support you in so many ways, even helping you pack! So naturally when it came time to sell our family home, I again asked Maria to be our agent. Maria was terrific in all phases of the sale and in 30 days we were through a very easy experience. I am extremely happy and grateful with the smoothness of the sale. If you are looking for an agent who cares about you and listens, then Maria should be your first choice. Thank you, Maria!! Love you The Duncans read more

If you want your house sold and FAST, you need Maria. The entire process from signing the paperwork to closing escrow took only 7 weeks! Other homes on my street were on the market for months or were even taken off again because they wouldn't sell. Maria takes care of absolutely everything-from the brand new boxes, bubble wrap and paper she brought me to pack up my things (part of her personalized service) to having the house staged beautifully, providing an incredible photographer and taking care of all paperwork and closing, there is nothing you will be stuck with yourself. She does as much of the work herself as she possibly can. Her professionalism and expertise are unparalleled. I cannot say enough about how pleased I was with the entire process; I would give Maria 6 stars if there were 6 to give. read more

If you ever need a realtor, look no further. Maria Muriello is your person. Like other said, 5 Stars is not enough to rate her. Maria is professional, very knowledgeable, works hard and can be trusted to get you the best deal possible and she does not stop there. When I had problems, she put me at ease with her optimistic words and big smile. She managed to take all the stress out of me. In the end I came out with a much better deal than I could have possibly expected. Others told me she was trying to do the impossible. Let me tell you, SHE DID DO THE IMPOSSIBLE. Maria and her crew got our house staged and ready for sale within three days without me having to do anything. She was sent to me from heaven and I am blessed to know her. Thanks so much Maria. read more

I've bought and sold a number of properties over the years in 2 different states and up and down California. In the past few years Maria handled 2 transactions and I have never had an agent whose judgement I trust more. She set up and marketed our properties flawlessly, arranged for all necessary repairs and moved the entire process along with a minimum of fuss. Recently when our buyer decided at the last minute there was too much, "stuff" left in the garage, even after he removed all contingencies, Maria simply solved the problem, personally, and allowed us to close on time. Real estate transactions can be a minefield but Maria knows how to deal with all of them. I don't think you can do better. read more

We are moving from out of state to CA, and we feel so fortunate to have chosen Maria Muriello as our realtor. Maria is an amazing person and an outstanding professional. She was helpful to us in identifying communities as well as homes that best met our needs. She was a sharp contract negotiator who represented us well. Maria was prompt and thorough in following up with inspections, and she made the complicated process of buying a home in CA as stress free as possible. Her contacts with lenders were also very helpful. I cannot imagine using anyone else to buy or sell a home as long as Maria remains in the real estate business. read more

Maria is great! She helped me with a complicated sale of two vacant lots, but helped smooth the process with her fantastic positive attitude, her attention to detail and her incredible work ethic. Maria helped determine the best pricing, personally escorted interested buyers and kept in constant contact with everyone through the entire process. Even when things got 'interesting' she helped keep everyone apprised of the changing situation until we were able to resolve all the issues and close the escrow. You can not go wrong with Maria. read more

Maria was excellent. We were making a Cross-Country move and we were on a tight time schedule. Maria was personally involved and definitely went the extra mile to help us. She was involved in all aspects of the sale. She recommended great contractors, was involved in the staging, and stopped by to take care of things at the house when we were away. It was like having a family member watching out for us and the house when we were away. The house sold fast and we were thrilled with the service we received from Maria!" read more

Maria went above and beyond, taking on additional roles when the sellers and the agents dropped the ball. She not only got us a good price (far below asking) she also made sure we won concessions to make needed repairs to our new home. She's a fierce advocate for her clients. After the sale, she helped us find reliable painters, plumbers and a contractor to do some additional work. She is the best. read more

Maria is a great real estate agent. She helped us through the long and arduous process of finding the right house for the family. She is incredibly knowledgeable, resourceful and always has her client's best interest in mind. On top of that, she is sweet, kind and pleasant to deal with. I can't recommend her more highly. read more
