Maria was recommended by a friend to represent my mother for the sale of her condo. It was the best recommendation that we could have received. My mother had recently fallen ill, so we had to sell her condo in a timely manner. Right from the start Maria demonstrated a high level of professionalism and compassion. She was legitimately looking out for my mother’s best interests and went above and beyond with accommodating a difficult situation. She kept us well informed of all activity on the condo and provided guidance throughout the process. Maria was able to find a buyer within a few months which exceeded our expectations in a difficult market. She was always a pleasure to work even when challenges arose. I highly recommend using Maria as your agent if you are looking to buy or sell a property. She is professional, intelligent, good-humored and extremely warm hearted. We feel extremely lucky and grateful that we had Maria represent us during this process.

Maria Racelis was chosen to assist in the sale of a condominium in Connecticut. Maria did an outstanding job right from the start, she went ahead and touched base with the sellers and got the ball rolling. There were many obstacles to contend with as there were some health issues with the seller. Maria proceeded to deal with a difficult tenant and still did an outstanding job assisting my seller. Maria found a qualified buyer in less than 2 months, I could have not asked for a better Realtor to handle this difficult transaction.

Deb Grimaldi/Re/Max 1st Choice- Cranston, RI

The most fortunate decision I made when preparing to place my lakefront home in Bolton on the market was choosing Maria Gilda Racelis to handle the sale of my property. I chose Maria based on a marketing postcard Maria had sent around the neighborhood a few years earlier, an enthusiastic recommendation from a neighbor, and, most importantly, an outstanding interview with Maria. Maria arrived prepared with figures of comparable properties sold in the area and a clearly articulated strategy for marketing my house. Maria specializes in lakefront properties and has a special love for the beauty and serenity of a waterfront location, which she is able to communicate with potential buyers. Just as important, she is warm and personable and, from the beginning, went far beyond the requirements of her position in order to make me feel comfortable in showing the house. I have one indoor cat, Daisy, who is very shy and cannot be let outdoors. Even when it was not necessary for Maria to be present at a showing, she was there to “guard” the doors so that Daisy could not escape, and she quickly became friends with all three of my cats.

In the depressed real estate market of today, Maria made astute recommendations on pricing and marketing the property and continually reminded me not to worry because we would find the right buyers. She is also skilled in technology, which is essential in today’s computer-dependent world. Maria’s visual tour of my home is a beautiful, artistic tribute to the strengths and beauty of the property. To my delight and appreciation, she made it into a CD for me to keep.

Maria possesses a unique and rare combination of intelligence, warmth, integrity, a shrewd business sense, enthusiasm, resilience, compassion, and good humor. I truly believe that I would not have made a successful sale in such a short time if not for Maria’s guidance and skill. Over the 4 months we spend selling the house, I also had an incredible amount of fun talking to Maria on a wide range of topics. I consider Maria a cherished friend now, and I would unreservedly recommend Maria to anyone considering buying or selling a home.

Working with Maria on finding our new home was amazing. Maria helped us find our condo a few years ago so when we were ready to look for a house we knew that we had to have Maria again. Maria took care of all the work including the little details and gave us that personal attention we needed. She went above and beyond her job to make sure my husband and I were satisfied and happy. Maria is very professional, efficient and knowledgeable. She made buying a home easy and non stressful. I would definitely recommend Maria to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home. I feel like I have made a friend for life with Maria and my husband would agree that “Maria makes it happen”!

When I first started looking at Real Estate I was not interested in working with an agent. I would research the properties myself and call the agent connected to any properties that I found interesting. During that time I contacted and worked with many different agents. When I met Maria I found a person who was able to demonstrate to me in a surprisingly short time the advantages of working with just one very competent agent. Maria took her job very seriously. She was professional, knowledgeable, and paid attention to all the little details. Maria maintained excellent communication, she was very thoughtful and considerate and she worked extremely hard to help us accomplish our goals. Working with Maria really enhanced the entire process of buying and selling a home. My wife and I felt very lucky to have Maria as our agent and we are grateful to her. "Maria makes it happen" and I would highly recommend her. –

We have known Maria Racelis-Heidtmann for 2 years. In that time she has helped us search for and find a lake house that is perfect for us.

During our search, she arranged for us view a number of lake houses. She found many homes that met our search criteria and was very attentive to our comments, which resulted in narrowing down our search to find the right home. This really helped to cut down on the amount of work and research we might have to do. She took the initiative to share information by e-mail and or phone in a timely fashion to inform us of new homes that hit the market or as prices changed.

In addition, when helping us prepare to sell our property, in her very relaxed and easy going manner, she explained the importance of showcasing our home and pointed out areas that should be refined to add value and help us sell faster.

Maria provides an open and honest in a way that makes home shopping fun, yet realistic. She is extremely competent and knowledgeable, particularly about lake houses. She is very intuitive and was quick to help summarize our needs and wants in a new home. Always positive and fun to be with, she is a diligent worker and completely understands the process.

We highly recommend working with Maria to anyone who is buying or selling a property.
