"I recently had the pleasure of working with MarÃa from Douglas Elliman for the sale of my apartment at 130 East 63rd Street, Apt 10D. As an owner living in Panama who never visited the property, I relied entirely on MarÃa to manage every aspect of the sale process.

As an owner living in Panama who never visited the property, I relied entirely on MarÃa to manage every aspect of the sale process. From the beginning, MarÃa demonstrated exceptional professionalism and dedication. She took care of all my belongings, ensuring they were securely packed and sent to Panama. Her meticulous attention to detail made a complex process remarkably smooth. MarÃa then staged the apartment beautifully, transforming it into an inviting and stylish space that attracted numerous potential buyers. Her expertise in staging and market knowledge were key to making my apartment stand out. Throughout the selling process, MarÃa was proactive, communicative, and always available to address any concerns. Her ability to navigate challenges and negotiate effectively resulted in a successful sale at a great price."

"Maria Octavio is the best of the best real estate brokers in New York City. She helped us buy an apartment on the Upper East Side. She knows the Upper East Side like the back of her hand. Furthermore, she knew all the particulars of our building at 130 East 63rd Street, and was able to answer our every question. She is completely bilingual, which made our purchase from a man who had relocated to his native Panama extremely smooth. Maria even negotiated with the seller to let us have a few pieces of furniture that we liked included in the deal at no extra cost! This is one smart and very savvy real estate broker. If you want to buy or sell at a very fair price, you cannot find any better real estate broker in the City than Maria Octavio."

"Maria did an outstanding job selling our apartment at 130 East 63 Street Apt 6A. As soon we discussed and approved the right price for the apartment, she immediately worked, and almost the same day she appointed a professional photographer to take a picture of the apartment, she also make a great video of the apartment, and use Matterport so you could watch the apartment on 3 d. It took almost a week for her to bring us several offers. Since we were living outside NYC, she took care of our furniture, our roof painting chips, and a leakage from the air conditioner that she took care of successfully by claiming to the insurance. In summary, Maria with her strong skills, perseverance, and hard work was a key person to sell the apartment."

"I have known Maria since 2018, and since that day, I have felt that she was the right person, not only to help me with the remodel of my apartment, which is what I looked her up for initially, but later, she also helped me find and purchase my second apartment because she was able to understand and anticipate my needs.

"I have known Maria since 2018, and since that day, I have felt that she was the right person, not only to help me with the remodel of my apartment, which is what I looked her up for initially, but later, she also helped me find and purchase my second apartment because she was able to understand and anticipate my needs. During the last 5 years, I have had the opportunity to get to know the wonderful professional, but the even more amazing human being. I have found in her the following qualities: professionalism; perfect management between the client, the vendors, architects, and the contractors always finding a right balance and a common middle ground; and always has the best attitude to be present and to work hard. In my personal view, I have a lot to thank Maria, because all the work she did with me was long distance, while I was home in Colombia, she took care of everything for me, and for 5 years, I have felt so accompanied and represented in my needs and wants. I can recommend Maria as a friend, person, and professional."
