We cannot say enough about Maria’s efforts on our behalf in the sale of our home. She tended to every single miniscule detail, and we felt we were in good hands the whole way through! We trusted her in the guidance she gave, and we were not disappointed! Our home sold with a record breaking price per sq ft! Maria’s attention to detail and the level of consistent customer service was beyond our expectations. The marketing, the staging, the Open Houses…all done with professionalism and care.

We were on a tight timeline and Maria stayed on top of everything that needed to be done. Some examples include coordinating with the HOA, selecting approved house colors, negotiating pricing, even setting up sprinklers on timers to help green up the grass!

She was always available and communicated positively and effectively with all the contractors and vendors involved in prepping the house as well as the Title company on down. How she got some last minute “surprises” addressed and resolved is beyond our comprehension but that’s how Maria works! She gets it done!

Of additional note was her recommendation to use the John L. Scott “Market Ready Plus+” program that makes it possible for sellers to make the necessary enhancements to the property without having to pay for the costs upfront.  Again, seamless and effective !

Once all of that was completed, Maria negotiated an amazing deal that surpassed what we had imagined! We absolutely believe Maria’s impressive work on the property and it’s sale made the difference in the closing price.

Thank you so much Maria, we will be singing your praises forever more! You couldn’t have done anything further to make this experience as seamless and successful as it was!

Highly highly recommend Maria for your real estate needs!!!

I can't speak highly enough of Maria Barrett, our real estate agent.  Finding a realtor who is personable and reliable is a challenging venture on its own.  One who can seek out a dream home while simultaneously selling a previous residence even more so.  Despite a volatile housing market a niche, higher-end demographic, Maria was able to achieve both of these tasks exceptionally and swiftly.  Her ability to market and cater to the needs of the client is second-to-none as she was able to sell our old house with immediacy and far above market price.  Her attention to detail and prompt paperwork processing allowed us to move in record time.  With a gorgeous waterfront view, beautiful property and an amazing home, we have finally achieved our dream with the hard work of Maria Barrett Real Estate.

Maria was dedicated and driven to find me a home. I often would apologize to her as it was somewhat of a wild goose chase. Basically it was more of “when I see it, I will know it’s the one!”. Not much for a realtor to work on! She was so patient with me.

We looked all over eastern Seattle, the Greater Eastside of King County and the Snoqualmie Valley.
I wanted to be near the urban hub of Seattle. We saw many beautiful homes. I put bids in and withdrew bids. I was hoping Maria would not fire me as a client, and fortunately for me she didn’t of course!
Finally, I saw a home in Olympia that attracted me. Knowing the swiftness of the market I wanted to see it right away. Maria made sure that I was able to get into it the same day with another broker from JLS that she contacted in Olympia to show me the home.

I fell in love with the house and location immediately and made an offer! Maria made sure I would get no wiggle room for being outbid. She was like a mother lion. My offer was the winning offer!
I know it was due to Maria’s expertise and dedication. I am very grateful to have had her as my agent. She truly had my back.
I would highly recommend her as your agent to help you find your dream home!

Maria Barrett is an excellent realtor. She continually went above and beyond to get my home staged and sold. I had several investments I needed to make to get the home ready to sell. I couldn't return to coordinate the services due to the pandemic. Maria took care of everything.  Not only this, but her agency financed everything for free through John L. Scott's Market Ready Plus program. In other words, no cash of pocket and the cost of the services were settled at closing. 

Maria was incredibly diligent, showing the home several times and being responsive to every potential buyer/realtor, while keeping me informed every step of the way. In the end, we were able to get the home sold at full asking price. 

I would highly recommend Maria if you're looking for a realtor that's going to give you a high level of service and personal attention.  I wouldn't hesitate to list another property with Maria.

Working with Maria Barrett Real Estate was great! She was patient with us as we looked at house after house and shared so much knowledge on which materials are long lasting and which lead to problems and maintenance! She pointed out things I would never have thought to look at and helped us understand home pricing to know when seller's were being unreasonable and when we were getting a good deal! When we found the perfect house, she dropped everything to help us come in early with a strong offer so we could lock it in! Thank you Maria!

Working with Maria was a great experience, she is very down to earth and personable, professional, knowledgeable, and exceeded our expectations throughout the sale process. She went above and beyond by offering help with packing and moving, as well as prepping the house for viewing. She hand washed my fence! It was sparkling clean! She was always on top of things and kept us well informed, explaining each step of the process, and had great attention to detail. I was very impressed with the listing and video she created to promote the house. I would highly recommend Maria to Anyone who wants an AWESOME real estate agent, and I got a good friend out of the deal!

My wife and I feel very blessed to have been able to work with Maria Barrett. I just called my local John L Scott when we were considering selling our home. Maria was with us then through it all. She helped guide us through all the major and minor decisions. This was my childhood home so selling it wasn’t easy for me, she was understanding and exercised so much patience with us. When it came time to get things ready to sell, she gave great advice as well as in-person time to us. Once the house was on the market it went quickly. We had a full showing schedule and many offers. Maria worked long and late hours advocating for us to get the best offer. In the end we were very pleased with both the offer and how she went beyond our expectations. We had to move so our kids could start school, Maria kept a close eye on our home and even fed our chickens!

We still feel like we have an ally with us that has our best interest in mind long after the sale was finalized. We would both whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone who is interested in buying or selling a home!

Maria helped me buy my first home and made the process quick and easy! Of everyone involved in my home buying process, she was by far the most attentive and was always happy to answer questions and give suggestions. She was always available to show me condos within a day of them showing up in my home search and came prepared with plenty of information about the properties that wasn't available to me. When the seller disappeared after verbally agreeing to an offer, she stayed on top of the situation and in contact with the listing agent throughout the weekend until we were able to get a contract signed. Will definitely use her for my next home purchase as well!

Maria helped my fiancé and I buyer our first home! This was a team effort and they made it feel so effortless! They answered every question, and made home buying feel, dare I say, easy? I definitely had to keep double checking because it went so smoothly!! “Am I doing this right?!” Lol. Every checkbox was completed and Maria and team were efficient and organized! Loved getting to know Maria and we LOVE our new house!! Did you know when you own you can choose what color to paint your walls?!

Maria did an awesome job helping us find our perfect retirement home and representing our interests throughout the transaction. Her knowledge of the entire Seattle area is impressive and she was always available on short notice. Maria is super easy to work with and treated us like friends rather than clients.
