Her strong background in social media and marketing gives her a modern perspective on presenting properties and connecting with clients—skills that set her apart in a competitive market. Though she is one of the younger agents in Wellington, Maria views her age as an advantage. She brings fresh ideas, digital expertise, and a keen eye for trends, while still respecting the traditions and professionalism that make buying or selling a home smooth and confident.

Today, she’s committed to helping others find a home where they feel the same sense of belonging and excitement that Wellington has given her. Known for her dedication, energy, and approachable style, Maria focuses on making the real estate process clear, personal, and enjoyable for every client.

Prompt, clear, and reassuring

Maria & Mike from Luxe was fantastic to work with. They provided excellent advice on preparing me & my home, leading to high interest at open homes. Their communication was superb, keeping me informed every step of the way. Despite a challenging market, together they secured a great price, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again

Professional negotiator who is an advocate for the seller

Mike and the team at Luxe are fantastic to deal with. He brings a refreshingly honest and practical approach to achieving a sale, and communicates clearly with all parties to deliver the best possible outcome. His extensive database of clients significantly widened our reach when marketing our property. He also engaged with buyers well beyond the local area, resulting in several offers from outside our region. From the outset, Mike provided an accurate estimate of our property’s value. He helped us understand its appeal to buyers (as well as what didn’t!), and advised on what improvements would make the biggest difference. He then tailored the sales and marketing strategy accordingly, and utilised his strong negotiation skills to achieve a great result in a challenging market. Mike is charismatic, well-connected, and genuinely driven to secure the best outcome. He treats you with respect throughout the entire process and is a true advocate for both your property and your goals. I couldn’t recommend him more highly to anyone looking to sell their home.

Dan did a great job selling our house in challenging market.

Dans experience really helped in this process. Knowing the market, understanding what buyers need to see and hear are the insights that Dan offers. Perseverance is important in a slow market, Dan continued to work for us and provided good advice which ultimately got us to a sale we were very happy with.

Above and beyond service every step of the way.

Demetria was absolutely amazing to work with. From the very beginning, she was professional, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping us through the process. She went above and beyond at every step, always reliable and more than happy to answer questions or step in whenever we needed guidance. Buying an apartment can be stressful, but Demetria made the whole experience feel so much more manageable. Her positive energy and calm, reassuring personality made a real difference. She’s honest, down to earth, and someone you can truly trust. We’re so grateful to have had her by our side and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Maria was a brilliant asset to this home - she is incredibly professional, and very timely with responses. What she lacks in experience, she more than makes up in enthusiasm and drive. I never felt pressured, only supported.
