I have only known Maria Stephens for a short time as our new branch manager, but I have enjoyed what she has brought with her - her fantastic knowledge of our industry.

I find Maria to be very professional and she has that drive for her team to succeed.

Throughout my 20 years of real estate across two agencies, I have met a few managers. The one factor that stands out the most for me is that a branch manager needs to be personable, needs to show an interest in each individual who works within the branch and it’s imperative that they have a keen understanding of each salesperson, what drives them, their family and other interests - a bit of give n take I say, for success!

Maria Stephens has forged a respected name for herself within the real estate industry because of this. She’s passionate, driven and cares.
