Maya Thomas

I am patient, detail oriented and eager to please my clients. I have created systems and check lists to make sure that I remember to check and double check every detail in a real estate transaction to practically guarantee an easy and trouble free closing. I work hard and I'm available for my clients because I know how stressful buying and selling can be. I constantly reassure my clients by my actions that they can count on me to care about and promote their best interests.
I am courteous and respectful of every person's schedule involved in a transaction. I promptly return phone calls and e-mails. I make it my goal to ask about and understand what each person is looking to achieve so that I can help coordinate a the best solutions that help all parties to feel comfortable and confident.
I do all things necessary to sell a home including coordinating cleaning and staging a home, taking professional photographs and creating a virtual tour. I work closely with tenants, attorneys, closing agents, surveyors, appraisers, banks and loan officers and home inspectors. I am present during all inspections. I help to coordinate having the yard cleaned and other important curb appeal necessities like flowers and home repairs. I cooperate with all brokers and work to close real estate transactions with integrity, honesty and good faith. I market and advertise homes using proven techniques. I host open houses and invite top brokers, my database of buyers and the neighborhood.
I keep in constant contact with sellers, tenants, family members and all people involved with the transaction and work to establish a long term relationship of trust and openness. I keep all parties aware of what is happening in the transaction. I give sellers a marketing report so they know the steps that I am taking to sell their home. I communicate with everyone involved and return all phone calls promptly. I follow up with all agents who show my properties and update sellers on the buyer and agent comments. Problems can happen in any situation in life. When a problem comes up I immediately take steps to fix it!
I use proven techniques and strategies to reduce risk and creative ways to close every deal. I have a contact list of reputable contractors and happily arrange estimates and repairs. I baby my clients and look for every opportunity to provide concierge service.

To All home buyers or sellers needing a Realtor!

After my mother died from cancer I had to sell her home in the Keys. I live in North Carolina. I hired Maya Thomas to sell our Keys home. I never met Maya in person. I can say, without hesitation, that Maya is the BEST real estate agent I have EVER worked with! Maya is patient, kind and easy to talk to. Maya is extremely consciousness and hard-working. Maya persevered with conflicting personalities and agendas and got the job done!

Maya cleaned and staged our home, took professional photographs and created a virtual tour. Maya worked closely with the tenant who was living in our home. Soon the yard was clean, flowers were planted and the car ports were repaired. Maya got top brokers in immediately to look at our home. Maya did not stop marketing and advertising my mother’s home. Maya soon began hosting wine and cheese open house parties and sent invitations to the neighborhood.

Maya frequently stopped at my mother’s home to chat with the tenants and got to know them personally. Maya kept me aware of what was happening with the tenants and the condition of the property. Maya communicated with everyone involved. I rarely followed up or returned her calls yet she faithfully continued to e-mail me to let me know what was happening and what she was doing to sell our home. Maya left me voice messages because she knew that my work keeps me on the road. Maya contacted me after every showing and told me about her follow up calls to the agents who showed our property. Maya never “dropped the ball”. When there was a problem with one of the tenants Maya fixed the problem and I didn’t need to intercede with the problem tenant or make a single call!

To counter my initial wariness of the cash offer we received Maya came up with creative ways to reduce my risk and encourage the buyers to “step up to the plate.” Before the buyers arrived to see the property for the first time Maya called contractors, obtained estimates for drywall, painting repair, and a new roof. I didn’t need to make one phone call! Within 48 hours of the buyers first walk through the buyers wanted to close! We closed within a week!

When the title company discovered several liens on the property, Maya gave me explicit instructions on what to do, and who to talk to. On my own, I would not have known how to proceed and would have had to pay the liens. The sale would not have happened with out her hard work.

After Maya received her commission, and her job was done, she continues to follow up on resolving the liens, and helping me to get the estate closed. Maya has obviously gone “way beyond” what I expected from my real estate agent—THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP, AND HARD WORK, Maya!
