Real Estate is about much more than selling houses. It’s about genuinely serving people well and helping them realize their dreams in theshort and long term. This mission is never far from my mind because it lives in my heart.

In doing so – and combinedwith my industry leading marketing and expertise, i work tirelessly to implement every tool and strategy available to maximize the valueof your home. Rest assured, every step of the way I will be right by your side, from consultation to closing and beyond.
In the world of investment, profitability is everything. Whether it’s a residential, multifamily or large construction project, I use reliable resources to research each deal and guide you through the process.
I start with a thorough analysis of the financial projections for each deal, then calculate costs, value, risk, and local market and closed deal data.
Then I make a full forecast of the expected net profit. I have access to private lenders who can help you with the financing of your next investment deal.
The costs you will face when buying real estate in California. Let’s take the example of a $1 million dollar home:
If you take a house in mortgage, your down payment will vary from 4.5% to 30%, depending on what taxes you have shown in America, whether you are a “first time home buyer” (first time home buyer – 4.5%) or you make a purchase being a citizen of another country (mortgage for foreigners) – about 30%. The standard down payment is 20% of the value of the house – in our case $200k.
Inspections that you carry out in the house: general home inspector – $400-$500 per inspection, he in turn advises which inspections should be carried out in more detail: inspection of electrical wiring, inspection for mold, inspection for termites, inspection of the roof, inspection of the central air conditioning system. Each specialized one will cost about $300-$400. The older the building, the more problems it may have, the more inspections you need to do.
Mandatory real estate appraisal (appraisal) to get a mortgage – $900-$1100
Title Company – real estate registration is approximately $1700-$2000. This amount includes title lender’s insurance, in case of any lawsuits, they will not affect you. And also you immediately pay taxes on the house for the next quarter – about $4000.
Home insurance – about $1000 – 1200 a year. You have to pay it right away.
Escrow is an independent company that the buy/sell transaction goes through, the cost is paid in half to the seller. Buyer will pay about $2500 for escrow + notarized signatures – about $250.
Closing costs – the amount you pay to the lender to close the deal – for the mortgage. This amount varies and will be about 1-2% of the transaction amount. In our case, $10,000. You do not pay closing costs if you buy the property without a mortgage. Also you do not pay this amount if you go for FHA program (2 years of good taxes, 2 years of credit history).
You don’t pay realtor fees when you buy, the seller of the house does.
The first questions to ask when looking at real estate in America:
If it is a apartment/townhouse:
What is the HOA fee (monthly payment to the homeowners organization) and what does it cover?
How much do they have in reserves?
How many parking spaces come with the condo?
Are there any assessments (landlord’s debts for any repairs that have been made to the building)?
Is this a normal purchase contract? Or does the seller need a leaseback on the same premises? Is the sale contingent on him finding a new property?
Does the garage have extra storage space?
Does the house have common areas (pool, spa, office)?
If it is aprivate home:
Is everything built on the lot with permits (garage, guest house, pool, all bedrooms)?
When was the last time the seller made any updates to the home?
How old is the roof? (If the roof needs to be replaced – this could cost around 30K – 50K)
What is the zoning of this property? (LAR1, LAR1,5, ets) The zoning of the lot means how many units with a separate address you can add to the main house.
I will be by your side at every stage of the transaction, providing full support and guidance. My goal is to make the process of buying or selling your property as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
Accurate and professional property valuation to ensure an ideal sale.
I will help you achieve your goals by correctly assessing your home’s value while maximizing your savings on a new property purchase. Once we find a potential home, I will conduct a comparative market analysis to help determine the most competitive offer price.
By thoroughly analyzing the current real estate market and reviewing recent sales of similar properties in your area, we can establish a competitive listing price that aligns with market conditions, ensuring a successful sale.
In the world of investing, returns are very important.
Whether it’s a single-family home, a multi-unit apartment complex, or a large-scale construction project, I use reliable resources to analyze each transaction and assist you every step of the way.
How does the payback analysis process work?
In addition, I have access to private lenders who can help you structure your next investment deal.

Eugene LevinMarch 12, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are incredibly grateful to Mariya for helping us purchase our first home. Our journey with her actually started about a year and a half to two years ago when we attended her first time home buying class. When the time finally came for us to start looking for a house, we had no doubt that we wanted to work with Mariya Our situation was quite complicated because the house was not only for living - it also needed to accommodate my business, which is already operating. Because of that, it was very important for us to find a home within about 10 minutes from our current location so that our clients could continue coming to the same area they were used to. Mariya didn’t just listen to our needs - she managed to find an ideal home that met all of our criteria. In the end, we purchased a beautiful house just 10 minutes from our current location, with 5 bedrooms, a modern renovation, and a lovely backyard with a pool. The home truly checked all of our boxes and even exceeded our expectations. Throughout the entire process, Mariya guided us with great professionalism and care. She was always available, clearly explained every step of the transaction, helped us make important decisions, and provided both professional and emotional support - which is incredibly valuable when you are buying your first home. Although the overall process took about six months, the active search lasted around 2–3 months, and within just two months we found a home that was absolutely perfect for us. Mariya is a realtor who truly listens to her clients, understands their needs, and works tirelessly to find the best possible solutions - even in complex situations like ours. Her professionalism, experience, and genuine dedication make the home-buying process much smoother and more enjoyable. We definitely recommend Mariya to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and truly caring real estate professional. Working with her was an amazing experience.Posted on Aigerim MoldashevaMarch 11, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very happy to work with Maria. She is a very open, warm, and genuine person. The first thing I noticed about her was her energy. I usually choose the people I work with based on how I feel around them and how comfortable I am in their presence, and with Maria our energies matched right away. What I really appreciated was how she approached all of our ideas and suggestions. She was always willing to travel to any part of the city just to help us find the right home. At times we even took her up into the mountains and to places where, honestly, I think many agents wouldn’t be willing to go. But Maria never refused any of our ideas. She was very patient with us, even when our mood changed, our preferences changed, or when we kept changing our minds about what we wanted and where we wanted to buy. We ourselves weren’t even sure at first what area we wanted to live in, but Maria adapted to everything. She always kept a good sense of humor, encouraged us, and supported us through the whole process. At the same time, she was honest and pointed out important details and potential downsides of certain properties, things that a typical buyer—especially someone buying a home for the first time—might not notice. We spent about two months searching for a house together. At one point we were almost ready to give up because it was very difficult to find something in our price range that also had a good neighborhood and good schools. But when we finally found the house, Maria acted immediately. The moment we told her to submit an offer, she did it right away. I think she literally stopped wherever she was at that moment and prepared the offer the same day. Maria is incredibly dedicated to her work and very responsible. The offer was sent the same day we called her. I’m very grateful to her and highly recommend her. She is not only a great real estate agent but also a wonderful person. If you’re looking not just for a professional, but for someone who will truly care, support you through the process, help you look at things from different angles, and point out details you might otherwise miss, Maria is the person you want to work with. Thank you so much, Maria. I truly appreciate everything you did for us, and I hope we’ll work together again in the future if we decide to buy, sell, or invest in another property. She is someone I would always be happy to work with again.Posted on American MomMarch 8, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mariya was the best realtor experience we’ve ever had! We were buying a house remotely from another state, and she made the whole process smooth and stress-free. She is a fantastic professional who helped us at every step: recommending a reliable mortgage broker and inspectors, making sure we received all the discounts we were entitled to at closing, and even visiting the property multiple times to make sure everything was fixed and in good condition. Her dedication, attention to detail, and genuine care made a huge difference for our family. We are very grateful for her help and would highly recommend Mariya to anyone looking for a trustworthy and highly professional realtor.Posted on Antwain WilsonFebruary 17, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
