Meet the owner of CalRes, a true local and our very own spirited team captain! Maria’s career began over two decades ago at Chase Home Finance managing default loan servicing which included loss mitigation, short sales and foreclosures. In 2006, Maria was instrumental in the implementation of the ARM Reset Modification program. This program paved the way for the national program known as “Making Homes Affordable”. She then furthered her career working for New American Funding as a branch manager and corporate trainer and ultimately opened their real estate division New American Residential. While employed with NAF, Maria played an active role as a founding member in a trade organization known as AAHMP. She spent two years in Washington DC & Virginia working with members of Congress, Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac to offer alternative underwriting solutions to the Making Homes Affordable program all in an effort to revitalize the distressed economy and promote home ownership.
As a hometown girl, daughter of a schoolteacher and custom home builder, Maria has always been passionate about community, entrepreneurship and real estate. You can find Maria cheering on her daughters at the field, pool or stage. Maria runs a successful business but not without a lot of laughter, 90’s hip hop and the best spirit wear.
“Maria and her team manage our property in Carlsbad. That is the end of the professional title for her service, as the rest is best described as family connection and personal care. Maria is available and dependable because she takes very good care of us as the owners, not just the property. That sets her apart from other services you could choose. We are always happy to stop by the office when we are in town, and we enjoy the moments we get to visit. CalRes is the best we could have hoped for, and our relationship with Maria and her team goes well beyond that of manager/client. She really works from a caring place, communicates in a meaningful way, and conducts all business with integrity. – Martin, Happy Maria and her team manage our property in Carlsbad.

“Maria, on a personal level, you’re really a pleasure to work with, and I’m so happy I have called Buttercup home for the last couple of years. It’s incredible how living in a place that makes you feel happy and is peaceful can bring good to other areas of life. THANK YOU for that! I will miss this condo for sure.”

“I have known Maria for several years, and while she has helped me with rentals in the past, this was the first house she has sold for me. I already knew Maria and her Staff to be professional, what I didn’t expect was the amount of time and effort they put into making this sale happen. I’ve been represented by Realtors in the past that once they had the listing, put forth little effort. With the market slowing down, Maria had open house every weekend, and was constantly strategizing with her team to find a buyer. Even though finding a buyer took longer than anticipated, Maria never lost hope, and she made me feel like I was her main client. Once she found a qualified buyer, she was involved with every step of the Escrow process making it seamless. I will use Maria for future transactions, and highly recommend her. She is professional and will be personally involved in your complete transaction.”
