Description
Being known in the Real Estate community as someone who will go above and beyond during the entire transaction, I take pride in being the agent who will exceed my client's expectations. I have a sincere, deep, and fiery passion for my work and for my clients. My growing customer base will attest that I am laser focused on their wants and needs, not my own. I am communicative, thorough, and detail-oriented, allowing me to work tirelessly alongside my clients every step of the way. In this competitive environment, my business continues to grow based on the positive referrals I earn from each of my clients. With my unmatched devotion, I am pleased to say that most of my clients are now my friends.
The Monterey Peninsula is unlike any place I have ever seen, not only for its beauty, but also for the amazing people and culture. I have been a proud resident and supporter of my local community for decades. Being involved in this close-knit community is very important to me, and I have developed strong local bonds during this time. Through the years I have supported and served various local non-profits. Some of my favorites include Pac Rep Theater, Carmel Rotary International, and the Carmel Chamber of Commerce, as Board Chair. I am also a heartfelt and passionate advocate of Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue, ensuring that sick or neglected dogs are placed in a good, safe home.
My entrepreneurial spirit pushed me to create a neighborhood favorite restaurant, Buon Giorno Bakery and Cafe, as well as my own luxury women's accessories store, Material Goods. With my extensive professional background in Sales and Management, I was encouraged to join a well-respected Carmel brokerage in 2015. Since focusing my attention full-time towards Real Estate at the start of 2018, my sales have exceeded $50 Million, I have been invited to join the Peninsula's Top Realtor Network and became a licensed Broker in 2019.
Below are some additional accomplishments I have been recognized for during my time in the industry:
2017 Most Tenacious, Alain Pinel Realtors - Carmel
Stanley Award 2018 (Most Helpful Agent), Alain Pinel Realtors - Carmel
Skyrocket Award 2018 (Doubled Total Sales in One Year), Alain Pinel Realtors - Carmel
Nextdoor.com favorite Realtor for 2018 & 2019 (93933)
Whatever your Real Estate needs may be, I always appreciate the opportunity to assist you in accomplishing your goals with Professionalism, Passion, and Performance.

Testimonials
"We just bought a dream house for our family in East Garrison while selling our old home through Ms. Finkle and her team. It was one of the most complex deals in real estate and perhaps in my entire life. She did an excellent job closing both houses and surpassed our expectations. The overall journey was very difficult with many ups and downs, considering different parties’ involvement, but Maria and her team made it possible. Throughout the process, she was very accessible through all means of communication and provided invaluable advice and emotional support, as, of course, we needed. We found her very caring, friendly, and in the meantime, very professional in dealing with her clients. When it comes to selling my house or buying another property, we will reach out to Maria without any hesitation."
"The Finkle Team consisting of Maria & Harry Finkle along with Maria’s assistant Melissa Garren were ALWAYS available to support my schedule(s) and were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. Their responsiveness to my needs was incredible since I do military support work, which can make my schedule unpredictable. Maria will work with you to make your desires a reality. Maria is also very well versed at dealing with other real estate agents and is a very seasoned agent that brings knowledge, integrity, vast experience and negotiating skills to close your deal. Maria’s promptness, knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, and full-on good energy made the purchase process simple. If I am looking to buy or sell I would not hesitate to call Maria … I highly recommend her for your real estate needs."
"Maria is a knowledgeable realtor and knows the ins and outs to real estate. I highly recommend her experience and expertise in the area. She has a passion for her job and it shows! In the unknown world of real estate for me-she calmed my nerves on multiple occasions and got the job done in a market that was unstable at best. "
"Look no further if you want a five-star agent that will handle absolutely everything for you. Gave Maria the keys to the house and she staged it, moving furniture to storage when needed. I did not return to the house until the day before closing when we finish packing and the moving company came. Not only is she above and beyond it's also her team that makes it work. Christine is her title person and knows everything there is to know about closing. Melissa is her right hand gal who ended up showing our place and selling it. Can't thank her enough!!!"
