I am originally from Argentina, my love for business and buildings came from my family. I distinctly remember the construction of our home when I was 6 years old. I was eager to go on meetings with architects, spend time on the job site with endless questions to workers, learning of dimensions and clearances, material selection, insulation and moisture control, I absorbed it all. Fun Sundays were spent looking at architecture with my family.
My professional career started from promotions and marketing, to working as a nanny and even as a painter when I moved to Hawaii after finishing college. Quickly ended up managing businesses for investors, from vacation rentals to developing and managing luxury homes and retreats. Opportunities moved me to New York where I worked in media, marketing and events in the sport of polo for 7 years, with some design, building and Real Estate projects on the side.
I fell in love with Kansas City, its architecture, boulevards and wonderful people in 2012. I was able to move here in 2019 where I continue to work helping people buy and sell homes, with fun design projects that come my way.

"Working with Mariana was amazing. As first time home buyers we had no idea what to expect, especially in the current market. With Mariana’s help we were fortunate to find a home fast! She guided us through every step of the process. We bought a home under the asking price… a couple requests were submitted to the seller. With Mariana’s fantastic communication we were able to have everything we asked for completed. She has a great eye for the “possibilities” of your new home and isn’t just a dreamer… she makes it happen!! So thankful for all her help and guidance along the way. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell, or both!" - Emily W.

"Mariana Castro proved herself to be an excellent real estate professional, over the the last two months, when she assisted me in the sale of one of my investment properties in Kansas City. I have dealt with a very wide selection of Agents in the past buying and selling different personnel homes and investments. I went to Kansas City to sell one of my rental investments. I found Mariana after a long investigative search and asked her opinion of the property and what she thought I could do to it to make it ready for sale. Her direct answers and creative ideas clearly demonstrated understanding the local market. We created a marketing plan and I signed with her company. I return to my residence (800 miles away) communicating via email, telephones and WhatsApp and all of my questions and requests were quickly responded to with complete and well throughout instructions to move the project forward. The house went up for sale and before the weekend was over we had a signed contract on the property. Mariana negotiate the selling price and the terms and presented the contract it was totally acceptable and I signed--great job. The closing date had been set and we were ready. I would work with Mariana with no hesitation again!" Chris S.

"Working with Mariana was a wonderful experience. She was kind, patient, and showed care and understanding for our specific wants. She never made us feel like our budget was too small and never made us feel rushed. She has a wealth of knowledge for the field which made us feel confident that she was the best fit for us. It took a little time but we found a great home and we are so grateful! I highly recommend Mariana to anyone that is looking to purchase or list" Ada C.

"Mariana, is the realtor you want on your team if you want to sell fast! Her marketing skills along with her keen eye for detail and staging I believe sold our home quickly and for well over listing price! We were also "Team Mariana" for the purchase of our new home. Once again using her negotiating skill and understanding of the present market to get the home we wanted at the right price point. We appreciated her commitment to us and willingness to be available to answer questions or simply be a great resource for information. I highly recommend her for all your real estate needs" - Marilyn C.
