Maria Connally, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, Blake REALTORS®

Maria is amazing, we couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent to help us find our perfect home. She was incredibly kind, helpful, and deeply knowledgeable about the homes, neighborhoods, schools, and the entire Capital District of New York. The whole experience felt truly personalized—she took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and guided us every step of the way. Maria also has an excellent network of trusted professionals, including inspectors, contractors, and attorneys, which made the process smooth and stress-free. We always felt confident knowing we were in great hands. We would wholeheartedly recommend Maria to anyone looking to buy a home in the Capital District.

Maria was just fabulous. From the beginning of the process, she was kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. She helped educate us about the process as first time home buyers and provided us with excellent guidance on how to make a good offer. She was supportive during the first let down of not getting a house we put an offer in on, and then helped us with the winning offer on our home! She provided excellent communication with sellers agents, the lender, lawyers, everyone! I always felt that she was extremely talented and really really knew what she was doing every step of the way, like we were in good hands. I write this review as we sit in our new house, as first time home buyers we could not be more pleased with what was an incredibly stressful process made just a little less stress

When it was time for my dad to sell his house in Colonie, he contacted Maria. She explained the process clearly and very patiently. Anytime he had a question or needed advice, Maria always returned his calls promptly. Any recommendation she offered him, whether it was for preparing the property for sale or asking a fair price for the house or accepting the right offer, Maria was right. Dad found working with Maria was very easy and rewarding. We both respect her as a wonderful person and an excellent professional. Dad said, “ I just wish I had another property to sell so I could work with Maria again.”

We can’t say enough positive things about Maria! She went above and beyond our expectations for selling and buying our new home. She really got to know us and learn exactly what we wanted. She is very knowledgeable about the field and provides excellent communication. Maria advocates for our best interest and we are so thankful for her expertise. We did not know a lot about what to expect and she walked us through the entire process in detail. She made sure we were both comfortable and understood each stage of the journey. We are so thankful for her expertise!

When we were ready to sell our home, Maria came and helped us decide what projects were most important and how to stage the house. She checked up on us regularly to see how we were progressing and was clear about how to list the house to maximize the sale without sitting on the market for a long time. If you want to sell your house for a good price and you want a realtor that does a great job then make sure you enlist Maria’s help. The listing was interesting to read, the pictures were professional and the whole experience working with Maria was wonderful. In the same time period we worked with two other excellent realtors for two other transactions that she was not able to help us with since they were out of her locality and Maria has exceeded our expectations and goes above and beyond fo
