Maria Fontes

We wanted to take this opportunity to bring to your attention the absolutely fantastic experience we have recently had when dealing with your agent Maria Fontes, while buying our new home at 86 Seaview Road, Piha. The whole experience with Maria has been outstanding. She’s definitely gone above and beyond our expectations on multiple occasions. She’s super friendly, very professional and her communication is second to none, nothing was too much of a problem. We had the unfortunate experience of having our home damaged by Cyclone Gabrielle which has led to what we thought of as our ‘forever home’ being deemed category 3 by Auckland Council. Maria has been so good about keeping us in the loop with upcoming house sales and we were lucky enough to have her let us know about 86 Seaview Road coming on to the market. With Maria’s help, we are able to jump on the home quickly and secure the property. Maria worked tirelessly with the previous owners to ensure everything about the sale went very smoothly. She was patient with all of our questions and concerns as, to be honest, we were a little concerned about buying another property out here after what we’d just been through and wanted to be very thorough with our due diligence. Maria responded to our questions quickly and with the utmost patience, sincerity and professionalism. We can’t thank her enough and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She’s a superstar and a real asset to your team.

Professional and enthusiastic. Kept us up to date every step of the way.

Maria was wonderful. She was always a step ahead of what needed to happen, gave great advice and was incredibly supportive. She organised stagers and gave recommendations for trades people and even turned up to let them in when we couldn't. A lively person and very professional. We couldn't have been happier with the service we received. Ray White is very lucky to have Maria working for them.

Maria is very friendly, professional, knowledgeable and always cheerful. She was a delight to work with and we couldn't have asked for a better agent.

Overall we have been extremely grateful for Maria's enthusiasm and focus on achieving the best sale outcome for us under very difficult market conditions both nationally and after recent weather events in Piha.

After 2 1/2 years of looking for a property in Piha and many open homes later, Maria, most definitely, was the most engaging, patient, and helpful agent we made contact with. Her willingness to share her considerable knowledge of all the nooks and crannies in the area and her obvious love and passion for the place gave us the confidence and inspiration to keep looking. She was always prompt in responding to any questions and kept us informed of what was happening in the area. We appreciated her expertise and quiet thoughtful approach throughout the negotiation process.

Maria was extremely helpful and proactive with all the information I needed to make decisions. I felt at ease and trusted her and enjoyed her positive energy and outlook on life.

Maria Fontes helped us sell our property while we were extremely busy in a different country. She organized local tradesmen to get it fixed up, cleaned, and ready for sale. She got us an unconditional cash buyer within 30 days of listing. She made the whole process unbelievably simple and went above and beyond to get things done. Perfect agent. I can't recommend her enough!

Maria was absolutely fantastic to work with - she was not pushy at all but was forthright and honest and we felt safe with her. She was really good at replying quickly to our questions and giving us all the information we needed to make decisions. We are so happy to now be in the house and we would definitely use Maria again.

Maria is special! She sold me this house and at the same time secured a great sale of a rental apartment of mine to make this happen. She was fantastic to deal with then, 9 years ago and since then we have intermittently been in touch. Her personality is so good to get along with, and she is able to be strong with me when needed. Maria’s momentum and organisation are very strong, and constant. She generated enormous interest in what was supposedly a downward-trending market. There was a large number of people through by appointment only and many notable people also. I was impressed by the coverage she achieved and with 3 unconditional offers presented and a great sale within 3 weeks of going live, I couldn’t have wanted more! It was a pleasure to work together again, thank you!

Maria was very helpful, prompt at replying to any queries and lovely to deal with. This has continued after the sale.

After interviewing all the Piha-based agents we chose Maria to market our home because of her warmth, integrity and professionalism. Maria is an excellent listener with an open, collaborative style which quickly puts people at ease. Throughout the process she was always on hand to provide support and advice, but also knew when to step back to give us time to think. We're very pleased with the result we achieved at auction, and the support provided by the wider Ray White Green Bay team. We would recommend anyone selling to consider talking to Maria about how she can help them.

Thank you Maria, You are amazing! We are so glad we went with you. We know that it was your quick work, openness and organisational skills that got us on the market by that first weekend. We appreciate the level of commitment, buyer engagement, and communication that you bring. You really are the perfect choice for so many reasons. Being local has set you apart from those that could never be there at a moments notice to show the properties. We would never have had so many viewings, had we gone with someone outside of Piha. There are many things that set you apart from the other local agents. We know that you always go above and beyond. You are trustworthy and actually care, and that makes a huge difference when you are selling your biggest asset! Thank you for continuing to support us until the end. We really appreciate it xx

Very professional
