About Maria
                  The logo of THE VELAZQUEZ

With almost 20 years of experience and close to $1 billion in closed transactions, Maria Velazquez is a real estate industry leader selling luxury properties in New York City and Florida. A native of Colombia, Maria serves a vast client base of both local and international buyers. Sellers and investors turn to her to leverage her expertise when buying and selling various types of real estate, from new development to condos and co-ops, to vacant land.

Integrity, patience and honesty are just a few words clients have used to describe working with Maria. In addition to being highly experienced, she is also highly motivated, putting her client's needs at the forefront of each transaction. Maria is client-focused and takes a results-driven approach to real estate; Maria's experience is what sets her apart.

Leading with her values while striving for excellence, Maria knows it's important to be transparent as possible while guiding clients through what can be a confusing and difficult process. She takes full responsibility for guiding each transaction from start to finish. Not only is Maria a great listener, she is a skilled negotiator working tirelessly on behalf of her clients, ensuring that all needs are not only met, but exceeded!

While working as an on-site salesperson for new developments and later helping individual buyers, sellers, and investors buy and sell real estate, Maria shattered sales records and has quickly risen to become one of the most recognizable and distinguished agents in Manhattan.

Maria is fluent in English and Spanish. Along with her stateside business, she represents a diverse international client base of buyers and investors looking to invest in the New York and Florida real estate markets. She frequently travels the world and understands what it takes to market and sell to foreign buyers.

Real estate is a family affair for Maria; as a child, she helped her mother, who is also an agent. Both Maria's mother and her brother are top producing agents in Miami. Real estate is something that she feels she was destined to do.

Maria is the mother of a young son she enjoys exploring New York with when she is not working. She has a degree in culinary arts and loves to cook, and does yoga to relax.

Client Testimonials

★★★★★
"Buying a property in New York city is a daunting, overwhelming and confusing task even for buyers with experience in other markets. Thankfully for us we had the trusted expertise of one of New York's top realtors, Maria Virginia Velasquez to guide us every step of the way with finding our new home. Equipped with more that 15 years of experience she has the knowledge, understanding and connections to close the right deal. With her counsel we were able to find the loft apartment of our dreams in a great neighborhood, mortgage broker and contractor which made our experience seamless. We were most impressed with her negotiation skills and with how hard Maria Virginia works for her clients and best of all, gets results."

★★★★★
"The whole process of renting with you has been an absolute pleasure! From viewing, to signing, to the move in! You operate with integrity, professionalism, and courtesy… all while being mindful of your clients’ needs. Thank you for leading me to my new home! "

★★★★★
"I’m writing this letter to express how wonderful and completely awesome Maria was in terms of getting us into an apartment with very little worry and stress. She was always very responsive and eager to make sure our move-in was smooth and painless. The previous tenants of my apartment were apparently gigantic cavemen who destroyed most everything breakable inside. Maria was amazing about addressing each problem with the owner, and she made us feel taken care of, and “in good hands” and was crucial in getting the apartment back into perfect shape for us. I would without hesitation recommend her to a friend, and am writing this to express what an awesome job she did for us. Thank you again, we love Maria, the building and its residents."
