A trusted buyer's and seller's agent, Maria's commitment to building a highly efficient sales strategy and advocating for her clients is the cornerstone of her client-centric real estate approach. Her desire is to build and maintain trusting, lifelong relationships with her clients in order to help them accomplish their personal real estate goals and ensure that all transactions are serviced to the highest standard.

Born and raised in Russia, Maria moved to Cincinnati from vibrant Moscow following her heart and her husband, Aaron. Before moving to America, Maria had an exciting professional career in linguistics, fashion reporting and event hosting. After graduating cum laude in Roman Languages from Moscow State University with post-graduate studies in Italian Linguistics, she worked for several years as a simultaneous interpreter, recognized as #1 on the market by institutions such as the Italian embassy, Italian Chamber of Commerce and Institute of Italian Culture. Her relentless ambition and professional reputation led her to work with world renowned artists, actors, singers, politicians, photographers, wine critics, and Michelin chefs. This exposure brought her to the attention of the Italian fashion houses, where she became an ambassador to the Russian market for several prominent brands. Her success eventually landed her a role hosting the TV program "Fashion reporter," broadcast internationally by the World Fashion Channel, where she covered the latest collections of legendary houses like Armani, Versace and Etro from fashion weeks in Milan, Paris and Moscow. Now recognized as among the best English-speaking presenters in Moscow, she went on to host several international world-class events for clients including Euronews Sportaccord Awards and the FIFA World Cup 2018.

Maria has been recognized as Rookie of the Year in her first 2 years selling Real Estate and has been helping families and clients for over 12 years. "Having a home is the most understandable human desire, it's what makes us who we are in the most comfortable place we want to be. Buying a house usually marks a milestone in our lives, either personal or work related, and I see my purpose as being a guide for my client, accompanying them on this exciting journey from one chapter of their lives to another”.
