Customer Reviews

I’ve known Maria since I was little, so when it came time to find our first home, there was never a doubt about who we would trust. Maria has always been someone who genuinely cares, and that same warmth and dedication came through every step of the way. She listened to what we wanted, guided us with so much patience, and made the entire process feel exciting instead of stressful. Buying your first home can be intimidating, but Maria made it feel like we had a friend by our side the whole time. We wouldn’t go to anyone else. Maria is simply the best, and we’re so grateful she helped us find our first home. Emily Walczynski

Maria was wonderful to work with! We haven’t shopped for a home in over 30 years, and lived an hour from our new search area, so her patience with us was amazing. She was flexible, and always worked around our schedule. On several occasions when things got emotional, she was always there to listen and talk things through, sometimes late at night. By the time we found our home, we considered her more of a friend than our agent ❤️ Vivian Payne

Had a great experience working with Maria! She was patient, flexible, knowledgeable and listened to our needs. She actually made house hunting fun and treated us more like her family, than her client! Vivian Payne

Maria did an excellent job of marketing our home, and we highly recommend her to others! Russell E. Hagberg

Maria is a first class real estate agent. She is knowledgeable of the market and responsive to the needs of her clients! We highly recommend her! Russell Hagberg

This is the second time we've worked with Maria, and once again, she exceeded our expectations. Maria is incredibly attentive and responsive—she truly listens and prioritizes her clients' needs. She’s a Pitbull in lipstick—fierce, determined, and absolutely someone you want in your corner when navigating the real estate market. Maria recently helped us sell our home, and her guidance throughout the process was invaluable. We also tried to work with her as a buyer’s agent, but ultimately purchased in Wisconsin. Still, when we made an offer on a home in Illinois, Maria was right there with us during the inspection process. She fully supported our decision to walk away when issues arose, showing that she’s not in it for a quick sale—she genuinely does what’s right for her clients. Maria is a true professional with heart, grit, and integrity. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who will fight for you and put your best interests first. Jamie Crawford

Maria is always a true advocate for her clients. She's very knowledgeable and extremely passionate towards her profession. This is the 2nd time we've utilized her and wouldn't think twice to do it again. Kenneth C. Crawford

Maria is awesome! We've utilized her twice now and would absolutely use her again. She's a true advocate for her clients and does everything she can to provide amazing service. Kenny Crawford

I've known Maria for many years now and we get along well. I like someone who gets to the point and try's to make deals happen. Udoe Seidel

Starting the search for our future home was a bit intimidating at first, given the current market and how the inventory was limited. Being a first-time home buyer, I feel absolutely lucky that we had Maria in our corner every step of the way. Maria showed genuine care for us as she worked with finding out our preferences, sharing with us her insights during showings and being willing to go to bat for us when faced with hurdles. Maria is fiercely loyal to her clients and will stick up for them throughout the entire process of finding their future home. I am grateful to have had her throughout the entire process as she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Eric Burger

A friend of mine mentioned and pointed me in the direction of Maria Devins for buying a home. Every interaction with Maria has been great and I couldn't have asked for a better agent to work with.Maria Devins has worked hard and diligently to find my Wife and I our first home. The whole process of buying a home for the first time is stressful, but with Maria as our agent. Our first home buy went smoother than I expected and we gained a new friend/agent for life.We will always go back to working with Maria as she has been amazing and has brought an amazing team with her that we did utilize.I cannot recommend her enough and I feel blessed that she also chose to work with us too.Thank you Maria, you have been a true blessing for us! Brandon (Hydarrah)

Maria truly takes the time to listen to your needs and requests. She has the patience with any buyer or seller because how in tune with the market she is. I will never use anyone else.... Customer for life! Brandon Anderson

Maria Devins was a close family friend and helped my us both professionally and personally. When my sister passed away she was there to help us with meals and check up on me at school when she was volunteering as a lunch monitor. She was the real estate agent that oversaw the sale of my childhood home and my father did nothing but sing her praises. When he passed away, there was Mrs. Devins to bear hug me and tell me she was there for whatever we needed (and scold me for my recently acquired nicotine habit). It’s rare to find someone that will go over hell and high water for you and ask for nothing in return, but if you have Mrs. Devins in your contacts then you already hit the lottery. Mrs. Devins, if you are reading this thank you for everything you have done for me and my family. James Schroeder

Maria is a consummate professional ---- very knowledgeable about all aspects of the real estate business from pricing through contracting. Her communications with us through this process were both timely and effective. Maria's marketing techniques including social media, enhanced her reach, and ultimately led to a fast sale of our condo at a new record for our building. We highly recommend Maria Devins for your real estate transaction! Bill and Debby L.

Maria was amazing and was with us every step of the way! She explained everything to us step by step. She fought for us and did so much research on our behalf. She is truly one of a kind agent and I couldn't recommend anyone better! Kristin Sassolino

Maria's professionalism, personality and attention to detail, led to a quick and hassle free sale of our condo. All during this process, Maria was responsive to our questions and requests for information. Further, Maria knows the real estate market, and her knowledge led us to the right price and promotion decision. She is a consummate real estate professional! We highly recommend Maria Devins for your next real estate transaction; she will not disappoint. Bill and Debby L

Simply put, Maria Devins is a fantastic realtor! She made the search and home buying process so much easier than I anticipated. She was extremely generous with her time, changing her schedule to accommodate mine. And she did so much more to get me into a house in a very difficult market.

Maria is a rockstar. She was referred to us by a trusted friend, and she made our first home buying experience a breeze! Maria is a kind, ethical, and genuine person who really cares for and protects her clients. Everyone she connected us with - from loan to inspection to attorney - exceeded our expectations.

Rachel & Patrick Cunningham

I don't even know where to start with Maria and her team. They made our dreams of owning a home a reality!! Our lease was up this past May at a house we lived at for 5 years. It was time to buy a house. My husband and I own a plumbing company and we have a basketball team of boys, so we had a few must haves (bedrooms, garage, office space, etc.) After having a horrible experience with a different agent and lender, I finally listened to my mom (I know, I know :-)), who used Maria to sell her house. Well guess what? Mom was right, AGAIN!! She's always right. We could not have been happier using Maria! She treated us just like family, even kept reffering to us as her kids <3!! Maria was extremely flexible while looking for houses, given our crazy schedule. We ended up under contract with a few different houses, all not working out for reasons out of anyone's control. We were pretty discouraged, but Maria assured us she would find something we loved. We went out one day to look at 3 or 4 houses. Our current house is the last house we looked at that day, and the one we all were the most excited to look at. As soon as we walked in the house we all knew it. Our offer was accepted that same night!! We had inspection a few days later and closed in TWO weeks! Maria, I hope you realize what a difference you've made in all of our lives. You were so dedicated to finding us a house and making sure everything ran smoothly. You fought so hard for us! We are forever grateful to you and the entire team for finding us a home we all love!! I already have, and will continue to recommend Maria to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Samantha G

Maria was exceptional during the whole process! From the first sit down meeting to the very end. She went above and beyond and always kept us in the loop. Even our puppy loved her! Thank You So Much Maria for everything and for making this process very stress free for us! Danny Cartagena

We’ve worked with other realtors and Maria is by far the best we’ve dealt with. She presented a comprehensive competitive market analysis and shared with us the current market trends for our neighborhood. She clearly explained pros and cons of decisions throughout the process including pricing, offer negotiations, and contract details. She leveraged the Private Listing Market (PLN), which allowed us to accept an offer before our house was officially listed saving us the inconvenience of open houses and continuous showings. Lastly, she acted quickly to all emails, texts, and phone calls from initial contact until after our closing. We intend to use Maria for any future real estate needs. The Klein’s

Maria is one in a million!!!!! My husband and I recently used her to sell our house in Illinois. She knows what's she's doing. She likes things done in a very timely manner. She has an amazing team of people that will help find the right buyer for you! Maria has a heart of gold and great personality! I highly recommend her and her team! Kristina Lang

Maria is astonishingly patient, thoughtful, and informative. She put her all into finding a home that fit our needs and desires not just right now, but also looking forward into what we should consider for the future. Her insight and foresight were invaluable, and her determination was incredible (especially in the face of our specific tastes). Her guidance is second to none. She took on the task of finding the best home for us personally, and she nailed it. She was an absolute joy to interact with, and her shining personality made our journey with her all the more pleasant. Eric Andruszko & Kim Harmon

Maria goes above and beyond! Buying a house is not an easy task, full of stress and confusion, but Maria was there every step of the way. While she helped me and my wife, look at homes and through the process of buying one, she was close every step of the way. She was more than happy to answer any questions either of us had and guided us through the process wonderfully. I'm not surprised to see all the accolades Maria has been awarded! Tyler Romano-Houston

Maria is absolutely fantastic. She will jump over any hurdle for you no questions asked. She truly cares about you and wants nothing but the best for you. I could not recommend a better realtor! courtney hollister

Maria is truly one of a kind. She put us at ease being first time home buyers and helped us navigate everything! She gave us such amazing knowledge and we now feel like experts! She is such a special person and we are so thankful we crossed paths! Courtney Hollister

I had been searching for a waterfront home for several years on my own without any success. I had a previous relationship with Maria form supporting me as a sellers agent on a home I was selling about a year prior. Because of her professionalism and tenacious ability to drive issues to closure, I knew selecting her for my home search was the right decision. Maria leveraged her resources and network and was able to connect with an agent before the property went on the market in the private listing network, negotiate the offer, and win the bid for me. I now have the property I've always wanted and get to retire with a beautiful view on the lake. Dan Breeman

Maria did a great job dealing with difficult circumstances. She successfully navigated a property with existing renters, was able to negotaiate a top price, and shepard the transaction to a quick close. Mark Prieboy

Maria is a wonderful realtor to work with and such a genuine person. She went above and beyond to get us our dream home. She kept us in the loop and was on top of her game working endless hours for us. We bonded during the process and made us feel sane during the crazy sellers market. Very down to earth and wouldn’t want to work with anyone else but her! Kayla H

Maria attended to every detail as I sold my house. She's so knowledgable, an amazing communicator who is able to maintain focus on the goal (closing the deal at a fair price where all believe the transaction was satisfactory) while managing multiple tasks and relationships. She is connected with so many professionals who are just as responsive as she is in their respective specialties--attorneys, lenders, movers, realtors in other states, etc--it's like she's a one stop shop. I would absolutely call her again next time I have to sell. Donna G

Maria was FANTASTIC! We are so happy she is our agent. She explained everything along the way. We had an instant connection with her. We were relocating to Alabama and Maria even put us in touch with an agent down here! Thank you Maria. William Cashman

Maria. Devins is Unquestionably a prime example of talent, skills, and compassion as a person, let alone, as our multiple time real estate agent. We love her! Albert Schroeder

Maria Devins was always on top of the selling process, and made sure we were always satisfied with what was happening. I can’t imagine a better agent . We would highly recommend her to any and all buyers! We love her! Albert Schroeder

Maria is an amazing real estate agent. She sold my condo for me in just a few days for a price above what I asked. Maria is very knowledgeable about the market, has many connections with other agents and brings a great deal of negotiating history to the table. With Maria in your corner you can feel confident that she will get the job done efficiently. Lastly she is extremely intelligent affable and has a great sense of humor all the while being a consummate professional. Jennifer Takata

Maria Devins came highly recommended by friends of ours, and after experiencing what the process of selling and buying a home as a pandemic begins to grip the nation, my wife and I both believe she went above and beyond those recommendations! From day one Maria offered helpful advice on staging and presenting our home while helping us to understand what we were really looking for in a new home. On the negotiating front, Maria is every bit an advocate for her client's needs, fighting tooth and nail for everything thing her clients want, and in some cases, more. That's not to say she's aggressive, either. She is the consummate professional, handling smooth roads and hurdles all with a compassionate touch. It is safe to say that we wouldn't be in our new home, loving every inch of it, without Maria Devins. I look forward to the day where I can recommend her to my friends and loved ones! Jeff Burger

Maria promised us 1000% and she fulfilled her promise 1000% plus. Excellent realtor! We will be happy to have her as our realtor anytime with our future needs. Maria works with great enthusiasm and positive attitude. It’s been a pleasure working with her for the sale of our home. Vinay Patel

Maria helped us sell our house in a somewhat difficult market. Upon her advice, we made a number of improvements to our house and even with that it took some time to get an offer. She helped us through a difficult sale as the buyers were extremely hard to work with. As well the buyers wanted to close in 30 days and Maria helped us get everything in order to meet that date. Todd L

The best real estate agent in the area! Kasia W

Maria is an excellent realtor. She is thorough, honest, professional and has her clients' best interest in mind at all times. It was a pleasure to work with her to sell our downtown Palatine condo and we felt her marketing skills were tremendous. She helped with staging, provided beautiful brochures, and held open houses which led to the sale. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone in need of a realtor. Lynn S

Great customer care and very professional. Brett Mook

Maria did what she promised, She held open houses as promised. Was there for every showing. Was there for inspections as well as appraisal to ensure a smooth sale. Jim Balogh

Maria was recommended to us by my dear friend, as we were searching for the home in the area for good 3 years with no success. Maria took time to get to know us on a personal level and did not try to impress us by sharing results nor telling pampered stories of successful wins from her past. She allowed us to convince ourselves that she has our best interests by asking questions and suggesting different solutions. Onve we have identified the property that we wanted to make an offer on, she took time to ensure we understand every step in the process and carefuly answered all our questions. When the offer was made, she truly showed her outstanding negotiating skills and ability to cooperate with the lending partners and real estate attorney (also fabulous teams!). We had no concerns throughout the process as Maria always made us feel protected and kept well informed. On our closing day, despite of 2 feet of snow and technical difficulties at the title company, she stood by us ensuring everything will go smoothly and it did. I'm proud to say thanks to Maria, our long time dream came true. She will certainly make your purchase process the best experience possible!! Kasia Wiselka

Maria goes above and beyond for her clients- or I know she did for ME!!!! I used her for the purchasing of my condo and again 4 years later when I sold. Her experience is invaluable and she will do whatever she needs to in order for a deal to be done in her clients favor. I will always remember the special time we had together getting my condo sold! Mary Minor

It was pleasure working with Maria. She communicated the risks and advantages very Clearly. Narenda Venkatesh

Maria is by far the greatest realtor we ever worked with! She is absolutely wonderful! She was a true partner to work with on finding our family home. We highly, highly recommend her! Gary Michals

Wow!! That truly sums up our feelings for Maria and her service, candor and professionalism. Maria provides down to earth, relatable service and never waivers from doing the right thing! I have worked with at least 8-10 realtors in many different markets and states and no one has come close to the level of service Maria provides. Maria is not pushy and truly has an impeccable memory to help your family when seeing many homes, like we did. She is wonderful with children and that was very important to us. We never felt rushed and she made herself available at every point we needed her, and she was handling many clients. Maria is wonderful and I truly believe Baird and Warner should be ecstatic to have as part of their Golden Team! Maria is a gem! Thank you Maria, we will only recommend you and use you in the future. 150%!!!! Byron Gifford

Maria is amazing. Every part of the transaction was handled quickly and professionally. Maria Devins & Baird & Warner are EXCELLENT! N/A D & S Yankee

Maria is the BEST. We will always use her and recommend her to our family and friends.This was our second time with her! Scott Lucas

Maria was willing to do what ever it took to sell our property. Her communication and follow up was timely and very informative. Dave Balogh

Maria was fantastic to work with not only for her knowledge of the market but for her personality and enthusiasm as well. I had my choice who I wanted and my wife was a friend of Maria's. Situations warranted that I gave my wife's choice a shot and so I did so Maria had her hands full as she not only had to sell a house but she had to sell me as well. She did that and I was very happy about it. I have been spreading her information around to all that maybe looking for a realtor. Todd Pearson

Incredible display of ethics, integrity, character, knowledge, and business savvy- this is what Maria brings. She is an outstanding professional. Sandy L.

Hiring Maria as our listing agent was the best decision we made after interviewing many agents. The deciding factor for us was that she oversees every aspect of the transaction from beginning to end with an amazing attention to details. Her negotiations skills are brilliant as she saved our transaction a few times due to extremely difficult buyers. Her marketing of our home was superb, skillful, technologically savvy, and right on the market value which is why we sold so quickly.She is knowledgable, professional, personable and really cared about us. She still keeps in touch with us to this day and we repeatedly give her referral after referral to our friends and family who love her as well. Maria is our Broker for Life! Kim F.

We met Maria at an open house. After years of searching for our 'perfect home' with countless agents who gave up , Maria followed up and stayed consistent with us. We finally found our home 3 years later but it had a very difficult seller. Maria negotiated as our buyer's agent and brought it to close. Since then she has listed and sold a second home as our listing agent for us. Her marketing is superb, and she strategically captured several offers for us. She is not only our broker but very much part of our family. A.C.

Maria was our buyer's agent for our first home. We did not know a lot but Maria explained everything in detail. We knew everything every step of the way during the entire transaction. She negotiated during a very difficult market and we bought a short sale- not easy. We will use her again. Joe & Liz C.

Our real estate agent Maria Devins went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure the purchase of our new home was a pleasant experience. We are HIGHLY indebted to her! B.N. Hire more people like Maria Devins. Your business will boom! M.N. Mike & Beth N.

We met Maria at an open house she had as we had met many agents before. We hired her as our buyer's agent as we instantly felt we could trust her and we were right. She protects, defends, and negotiates strongly for her clients. She serves her clients 100% and she will always be our agent. She means what she says that she wants to be our broker for life N & J. E.

Maria was referred to me by my nephew and his wife to sell a family condo. She explained everything to us so we all could understand and guided us while being so patient and kind. She staged our condo and we got an offer the day it listed! IF only we could CLONE Maria Devins!! We are so thankful to her for everything and will use her again. N/A
