Maria is very hardworking and very dedicated to helping for find or sell your home. Maria very pleasant to work with she is very responsive and willing to to help out where she can I think she goes above and beyond most. She was always there to answer questions and if she didn't know she would try to find out for me.

She helped us get our house sold - at full price. She never seemed bothered with my requests. She seamlessly aided in our closings of the purchase and sale on the same day. And, boy, was that scary. But she got it done. My mortgage lender said, 'she knows her stuff!' There were also locations (to purchase) where we would ask her about and she kindly educated us - and protected us. We felt that we were in the best and safest hands. I still rave about her and recommend her when I can. She is highly professional!

We were not familiar with the area so we depended on her guidance and knowledge of areas she felt would be a good fit. With her help, we were able to find a home we loved. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

. She knows her market well and we have referred her several times to friends. Marie worked closely with the buyer's agent to resolve any issues or conflicts which resulted in a successful sale.

I can't recommend her highly enough! Maria worked with us long distance, talking to us on the phone and helping us to identify what our wants were in a house. Then, when I flew into Atlanta, Maria spent nearly a week with me familiarizing me with the area, showing me various neighborhoods and houses, and then helping us to secure our north Georgia dream home in Ellijay. After the sale, she continued to help by sending us local information, information on vendors, measuring spaces in the house. In short, she was our 'Georgia whisperer'!!!! She was our eyes and ears on the ground, always willing to go above and beyond for her clients. I would use her again for a real estate deal in a heartbeat!!! She truly puts her clients first!

She always answered any questions we had with a quick response and never made us feel like it was a bother. Maria really cared about helping us, so happy we got your postcard in the mail and made the call. Thank you again for a wonderful (painless) experience!!! Stacy Kellenberger

She is so professional and knows her stuff. In an area where it can be difficult to make a fast sell, she achieved it for us. There is just nothing I can say as a down side if you decide to list with Maria. We have already recommended her to several others and have only heard positive comments back. I had known Maria while doing Volunteer work with her. Her dedication and honesty and dependability is what made me want to choose her. I asked for an interview, and she blew us away with her knowledge and understanding of the market.

We wanted a community that was close to Atlanta and would allow our families to enjoy the amenities and feel part of the community from day one.

Maria was very patient with us as we looked for many different amenities to come together in our home. She was flexible, positive and offered advice when asked. When we narrowed our choices down to 3, she helped with the negotiations and ultimate signing of the contract.

She gave me feedback on what to do to prepare for showings. She also recommended people to help with repairs before listing. She was always responsive and I feel went above and beyond, even after normal business hours. I really appreciate Maria and the smooth transition of being able to close on the home I was selling and the home I was buying on the same day.

She was our realtor for selling a home that had a challenging driveway. We had used three different realtors who were never able to sell the home before we were finally referred to Maria. She made some reasonable and affordable recommendations for us and we were able to sell our home without difficulty. She knows how to market a home because she knows her area better than anybody. She knows how to price a home, and she knows how to deal with all sorts of different situations. She takes the stress out of the situation.

She was always accessible. She had great connections in the real estate industry.

She recommended people to help us with repairs before listing the house, along with enumerating what things needed to be done. She offered suggestions for pricing the house. She gave us feedback on how much to leave in (and take out of the house) before showings. She was always responsive and pleasant.

Maria was great from the get-go with a high level of enthusiasm and organization. Maria constantly communicated pertinent information on the market, showings and agent feedback. She was very responsive and had a wealth of knowledge of the industry and the local market. Maria provided wonderful guidance throughout the entire selling process, assistance in negotiations, marketing and even came to the closing. I would definitely recommend her services.

I am out of state, so she took it upon herself to check on the property and assure that what I had put in motion as the owner was monitored and completed. She was easily accessible and responded quickly to all communication. Maria is very personable and a delight to work with. She kept me informed, followed best practices and worked to find options when we encountered an obstacle. I sincerely appreciate everything she did to make the sale of my property as seamless as possible.

This is the second time I have used Maria due to her understanding of the local market place and business expertise. We closed in less than 30 days. Maria kept in touch with me, almost daily, as we had multiple amendment's. She kept me informed of my options and the pro's con's of each offer/amendment presented. I would not hesitate to recommend Maria for any real estate situation.

Couldn't have asked for more as she was there every step of the way answering any questions, assisting with paperwork and any of the challenges that came with selling my property while out of state. If you need assistance buying or selling,in state or out of state, I wouldn't hesitate in giving Maria a call.

My daughter and I first met with Maria while we were in town for a funeral service. We had been referred to her by a friend of my mother. We considered other realtors as well, and chose Maria for her candidness, compassion, and breadth of knowledge of Bent Tree and other nearby communities. There was much to do to prepare the home for sale, and the distance made it difficult for me to participate. Maria was organized, determined, and committed to marketing and selling the home. As a result of her amazing efforts, the house was under contract within just a week of being listed. Throughout the period that followed, Maria was consistently handling all aspects of the property, as I could not from such a distance. I highly recommend Ms. Ashby for both buyers and sellers; she is certainly a true 'professional'.

She is so much more than our realtor, she has become our friend. There is nothing she won’t do to help you sell your home. She was always keeping us abreast of the status of our listing. You cannot make a better decision than to hire Maria.

She knows the area and the market very well, took time to really understand us and our needs, and worked with us on a unique scheduling situation. She is very dedicated, takes her time with you, and makes each client feel like you are her top priority. She was very responsive and communicated well, talking us through each step of the process. In the end, she sold our house in 1 day!

She helped us sell one property last year and we have listed a second one with her. She has always been very responsive and has kept us informed eat every step of the process. We have appreciated her professionalism and her keen insights on pricing and marketing our property.

She is so kind and makes you feel comfortable from the first moment.

Maria is the most skilled agent I have had the pleasure to work with. As a bonus, Maria is absolutely delightful to work with, sensitive to buyer/seller needs, and respectful of all parties engaged in the transaction. I trusted Maria with the sale of my beloved farm, owned for 23 years, and she earned every bit of my confidence. Lucky is the one who works with Maria Ashby.

She is the very best agent I have ever used! Maria will grab a broom or move a box if needed to help the seller. I recommend Maria for buyers or sellers. She will put her clients best interests first and guide you through the process. Very knowledgeable. Thank you, Maria for helping me!

We were only going to be in the area for 1 week to find a house and needed someone who could commit to our search for that one week and Maria had no problem doing that. We looked at a total of 11 houses over two days. We found our dream house on the first day and submitted an offer that night but still had houses we wanted to see the second day. Our offer was competing with two other offers and we did not like any other houses we looked at as much so Maria helped us to revise our offer to make it the most competitive without doing anything crazy and our offer was accepted. As first time home buyers it was amazing having Maria to help us through the process. She helped us know what to look for in a house how to make our offer competitive while not doing anything that we were not comfortable with. Then through the purchase process she made sure that everything was done on schedule and pushed our lender along when a document was taking a few days to get. Maria was extremely helpful through the entire process and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.

She took her time with us, never rushed and always tried to get us a showing the same day we were interested. If I were to ever buy again in the future she will be my first call.
