My real estate career began innocently enough. I just wanted to learn about buying and selling property to protect myself from being cheated or taken advantage of. I then went on to get my salesman/broker licenses, hosted buyer/seller seminars, got involved in rehabbing, became a property manager, and now have come full circle, using my skills to help buyers and sellers with their property needs.

My real estate career began innocently enough. I just wanted to learn about buying and selling property to protect myself from being cheated or taken advantage of. I then went on to get my salesman/broker licenses, hosted buyer/seller seminars, got involved in rehabbing, became a property manager, and now have come full circle, using my skills to help buyers and sellers with their property needs. I LOVE real estate! To this day I cannot explain the excitement of passing property without seeing its potential of fulfilling someone's dream of ownership. I truly find it an exciting challenge to be part of the process. Collapse

"I found Maria Varela online through Zip's website. She made our first time home buying experience very comforting with NO pressure. She was caring, professional, honest, funny, and very patient. Her most pleasant attribute is, she always had a smile on her face. She explained the process thoroughly and followed through with everything. Overall, she was GREAT! Thank You Maria for all your help and keep smiling =)!" - Jennyfer Colon

She is friendly, reliable, trustworthy and extremely knowledgeable in all facets of real estate." - Francesca V.

"We are first time home buyers and Maria Zajczenko's help and advice proved invaluable during the whole home buying process. She helped us navigate the sometimes murky and treacherous waters of the real estate business. Our first time home buying experience was relatively stress free in large part due to Maria's extensive knowledge of the market which is only exceeded by her level of professionalism and the negotiating skills. I have worked with several other real estate agents in the past. With that context in mind, I would rate Maria in the top 1% of the class. She is a relentless fighter and in this world of Mickey-mouse sellers and their agents she will fight for you and ensure that you are not taken advantage of. I believe that she is an invaluable asset to ZipRealty." - Nizar Handzic

When we were at the closing we didn't leave until I understand everything. I dont know how many times that I can I say it, but me and my family wants to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts :>" - Crystal Giles
