Mariya was knowledgeable, attentive, and considerate of our wants and needs. She greatly exceeded all our expectations. We would eagerly recommend her to others.

We truly felt like Mariya had the same enthusiasm for selling our house that
we did. She was decisive and, when we took her advice, our home sold in
less than a month. What seemed overwhelming at first was manageable with
her help and guidance.

Mariya has been amazing - so helpful in every step of the home-buying
process - if we ever decide to buy again (or if anyone we know wants to
purchase in the area), we will definitely be repeat customers. She made
the process totally painless and that was much appreciated since we were
located in California when trying to buy our house in Urbana. It would
not have been possible without all of her help! I've dealt with several
real estate agents over the years and Mariya has been the absolute best!

As a first-time home buyer, I didn't realize the roller coaster we were about
to go through, but Mariya did the impossible and, after all those ups and
downs, we still closed on time!

Mariya is a great Realtor for anyone to work with, especially first time
homebuyers. Mariya is able to explain every part of the process in a way that
allowed me and my husband to feel confident about our decisions while never
feeling pressured. Mariya always made herself available to us, no matter if
it was for a home viewing or to call for general questions. She kept us
very up-to-date even when there were stretches of time where there was no
news. I felt very comfortable being honest with her about my needs, concerns
and questions in the home-buying process. I felt that she really listened,
which resulted in her connecting us with a house that was a perfect fit for
us within our price range. Her flexibility and genuine personality makes
Mariya second to none. Honestly, I can't think of anything she could have
done that would have made the experience better for us. I would confidently
recommend her to anyone seeking to purchase or sell a home in
Champaign-Urbana.

Mariya was never pushy or rushed through the home-buying process. She
really listened and gave the space I needed to make my own decisions
every step of the way.

I used to think that all realtors were basically the same and it didn't
matter which one I chose. Now I know better. Mariya was extremely
helpful, responsive, and available throughout the entire process. She
kept our best interest as her priority, even when it did not seem to be
in her best interest. She went above and beyond what I have ever
experienced with any other realtor. Mariya's website is the most useful
home search that I have seen and is the reason that we first contacted
her. Her excellent service to us throughout the process of buying a home
is the reason that we are going back to her to assist in selling our
previous home.

During this, our first home-buying experience, Mariya offered just what we
were looking for: someone knowledgeable, communicative, willing to help
in any way possible, and pleasurable to deal with. She provided great
insights and tips on the home-buying process, as well as suggestions on
home improvement options. We enjoyed our time with her while searching
for homes and felt she took a real interest in "us" rather than just the
business we could bring her. She fit home searches into our crazy schedule
and was incredibly understanding and patient as we tried to figure out
exactly what we were looking for. We would not hesitate to recommend her
to anyone looking for a personable and professional Realtor and we're
thrilled we found her so early in our own search.

I moved to Champaign from Europe and I was a little worried about the process
of buying a home in the US. From the moment I started working with Mariya, I
realized that she had perfectly understood my situation and was willing to help
me not only as a Realtor, but also as a friend. Indeed, Mariya has been a
constant presence in every step of my home-buying experience, which went
extremely smoothly overall. In particular, I really appreciated Mariya's
organization, cheerfulness and honesty in suggesting which properties would be
the best deal for me. I would definitely recommend contacting Mariya to anyone
looking for a professional Realtor in the Champaign area.

I chose Mariya because she was very highly recommended by several co-workers,
and she was, indeed, an excellent realtor. She clearly explained to us the
whole process, accommodated our schedules, was very pro-active, and never left
us in a limbo in any matter. Even if she did not hear back from the other
realtor or someone else, at the end of the day she let us know that she did
not hear anything and when she would contact them again. As a person, she was
full of warmth and cheerfulness, with a ready smile or laughter to liven up
all of us. I would recommend her to anyone.

As a first-time buyer, I had no experience coming into the buying process.
Mariya helped me understand the entire buying process from the start and
gave me the information I needed every step of the way. She was excellent
at communication, rapidly answering all my questions whether by phone,
email, or in person. Working with her was a very pleasant experience.

Mariya is a top-notch professional. I recommend her without reservation.
She knows what she is doing, she does an excellent job of keeping you up to
date all through the process of purchasing a home. Mariya knows the Champaign
area extremely well and makes excellent use of technology to improve the entire
buying process. Mariya is very nice and friendly and very, very patient.
She continued to show me properties above and beyond the call of duty until I
found the perfect new home.

I enjoyed having Mariya as my agent. Although buying my first home (in a
foreign country), I never felt uncertain about my decisions because she
explained everything so well and I felt that I could really trust her.
She organized everything; I didn't know the process of buying a house
can be so easy. Thanks, Mariya!

Mariya is an excellent choice for a realtor in Champaign-Urbana. I've
used other realtors in the past, and Mariya outperformed them in every
measure -- keeping me informed, knowing the market, helping me prepare
to sell, assisting me throughout the process, and negotiating on my
behalf when necessary. She is easy to work with, very professional and
made my selling experience stress-free.

Mariya was a great agent and definitely helped me sooooo much throughout the
process. As a first time home buyer, I wasn't sure what to expect, but she
kept everything as simple as possible and always answered my questions in a
timely manner. She was incredibly flexible and definitely tried to work around
my schedule as best she could. Mariya has gone above and beyond and has taken
great lengths to help me find a home that I can call my own, and has made the
entire process as painless and fun as home-buying can be. Thank you for all
your help-- I learned so much and I'm so happy with my new home!

Mariya was extremely honest and helpful. You could tell that she cared about
making our home-buying successful and fair. She also knows a lot about all
parts of the home-buying process, including home maintenance and legal
issues. And she is friendly and positive. We are very glad we found her.

We really enjoyed using Mariya's website as a search tool. That helped us
greatly to rule out a lot of properties in our range of interest and cut
down the time spent touring houses. We only spent two days of actual
house-hunting before we found the house we made an offer on. We also
appreciated the great advice that Mariya provided during the entire process
(ranging from general home-buying knowledge to personal home-improvement
experience) and her leading us to the best people to contact for different
needs. As a result, we feel that we were served by the top experts in the
area for financing our purchase, inspecting our prospective home, etc. All
along the way, our feeling was that our realtor was on our team; there
wasn't any step where we felt we were left to fend for ourselves. Rather,
our impression was that Mariya went out of her way to make our first home
purchase smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable! It all made for a
confident and very satisfied experience for us!

Mariya did an incredible job of helping us to find the perfect house; she met
with us after hours and on weekends and helped us to understand all the
intricacies of home buying. All of her recommended service professionals were
wonderful and provided nothing but the best service. I will definitely
recommend Mariya to anyone I know who is looking to buy a house, and when
it's time to sell our house, Mariya will be the one to do it.

After using two Realtors with little success and satisfaction, I turned to
Mariya. We hit it off immediately and she seemed to know exactly what I
was looking for and what I needed. She answered the few questions I hadn't
even thought of yet and was one step ahead of me all the time. The
beginning of my home-buying process was absolutely brutal, but once I found
Mariya it seemed to fly by with few worries. I really felt like she was
on my side, instead of just saying she was. I will absolutely recommend
Mariya to my friends!

This was our first home purchase and Mariya showed us many properties,
listened to our preferences, gave great advice, and was a masterful
negotiator on our behalf. She was also great to just spend a day with
while looking at properties. I would definitely recommend her to other
prospective clients!

You listened to what I was looking for, and the first and only house that I
looked at fit my needs exactly, and I ended up buying it! The minor hurdles
encountered (as with any home purchase) in the process were handled properly
and in a timely manner. I look forward to working with you to sell the home
I am moving out of.

Mariya helped me sell my old home and buy my new one, and I highly recommend
her. I got a good price for my old home in what has been considered a
difficult market. Her marketing techniques are fabulous. When I purchased
the new home, things moved very fast. Mariya was there every step of the way.
She was especially helpful when we were deciding on the initial bid amount
and through the negotiations.

Mariya was extremely helpful and pro-active during the entire house-selling

extremely pleased with her as a Realtor.

Mike and I had a fabulous time cruising around town with you. ;) You were
awesome. I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate your
attention to detail, organization, and determination to get the job done.
I know that my situation was a bit more involved in that I needed to find
something that I loved, and find it fast. And I know I'm particular! =) Yet
you were there to give me any and all suggestions while keeping things in
order, trying to make things as easy as possible. And you were honest on
top of everything else!! You definitely amazed me. It was refreshing to
have someone like you help me through this -- I couldn't have done it without
you. I promise you that I will recommend you to everyone that I possibly can.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Mariya is absolutely worthy to recommend. She is energetic, enthusiastic
and sees your buying as her own. The buying process needs a high amount
of communication and Mariya was definitely always on my side, giving me
constructive suggestion without any pressure. She even helped me enter
the crawl space to inspect the furnace twice! Fully understanding the house
condition made us stand high when negotiating the price. Isn't this what
we buyers are all looking for? If you are searching for your next dream
home, Mariya is definitely the agent you would like to work with.
Thank you, Mariya!

Working with Mariya to sell my house turned a stressful experience into just
another event. I am certain that her house-staging advice, photographic
skills and expertise in setting up the web presentation played a major part
in the quick sale of my house. In addition to her technical skills she was
extremely helpful organizing and reminding me of all those dates and tasks
involved in closing the sale. Mariya is a professional with a warm and
caring personality; I highly recommend her for any real estate transaction.

I could not have asked for a better home buying experience -- Mariya is at
the top of her game. She is not only exceptionally thorough and driven,
she is genuinely honest. She truly is there to do what is best for her
client -- to make them happy and get them the best deal that she possibly
can on their dream home. Whether you know exactly what you want, or you're
not quite sure, she will find it for you. Bottom line, she is amazing. You
will not find a more sincere, determined, dependable person to help you
through your buying process in the most pleasant and hassle-free manner
possible. She's the best there is.

I accepted an offer for full asking price in under a week thanks to Mariya's
repair, staging, and pricing advice and the amazing photos and descriptions
on the website she created. She then nursed the sale through a contentious
home inspection and two mortgage rejections to a very happy closing day.

We had a great experience working with Mariya! She was patient with our

excellent advice, and we truly felt that she was "at bat" for us. We
will recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone we know who is looking.
