As a mortgage lender, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Maria Taylor-Huistra, a stellar realtor at Coldwell Banker. Maria's professionalism and expertise in the real estate market were instrumental in facilitating seamless transactions. Her proactive communication, attention to detail, and commitment to client satisfaction stood out. She consistently ensured all parties were informed and guided throughout the process, making my job easier. Maria's dedication to her clients and her adeptness in navigating complex real estate transactions make her an invaluable partner in the industry. I highly recommend Maria to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, reliable, and results-driven realtor.

We bought our house without ever stepping foot inside it, and that says everything about Maria Taylor Huistra. We were relocating from Columbus to Grand Rapids and doing almost the entire search from out of state, so we needed a realtor we could trust completely. From the moment we interviewed her over FaceTime, we felt an immediate sense of trust and knew she was someone we could rely on.Honestly, at the start, we didn’t know exactly what we wanted. Maria was patient with us and helped us figure it out along the way. She’d FaceTime us from houses, send us videos, and sometimes just tell us straight up, “This isn’t your house,” which saved us so much time. She was also incredibly responsive. We’d text her questions at 10pm, and she’d answer right away.When I finally walked through the door, it was everything she said it would be and more. If you’re buying in West Michigan, especially from out of town, Maria and Coldwell Banker Woodland Schmidt are who you want in your corner. We couldn’t be more grateful!

From the moment we met Maira, we knew she was the one to guide us through the transition of selling and buying. It was apparent from day one that Maria knows the local market and used her expertise to help us make the best decisions. Most importantly, she understands that there are many emotions that will arise in this transition of life. She was always just one text or phone call away to supporting us.Words can’t capture how much gratitude and appreciation we have for Maria.

From start to the finish line Maria did a great job. Highly recommended.
