Maria Ayala

Prior to real estate, Maria enjoyed a 25+ year career in luxury fashion and design in New York City. Her transition to real estate was a natural progression resulting from a love of New York architecture, culture, and fashion. Drawing from her expertise in styling and aesthetics, she is adept at selecting homes that reflect the personality and suit the lifestyle and needs of her clients. Charged with a magnetic personality and strong business acumen, Maria is a powerful asset to her clientele. Developing trust is the key to her success in sales and lasting client relationships. Drawing from her years in luxury sales and business management, she understands that knowledge and preparation are the most powerful tools while negotiating sales or rental deals. Organization, attention to detail, and the importance of walking her clients through the home buying or rental process are indispensable. After living in Manhattan for over 20 years, Maria and her husband purchased a waterfront condo in Brooklyn in 2010. Charmed by the trendy, yet laid back and artistic neighborhood of Williamsburg, Maria enjoys live music, styling fashion shoots, and walking her dog Petunia, a feisty Brussels Griffon, through Domino Park along the East River.
