MARIA AFSHARIAN

Proud to be recognized as a Top Agent in Montclair and Northern NJ, with nearly $10 million in home sales in 2025.

It's an honor to earn my clients’ trust as they work toward—and ultimately reach—their real estate goals. Since most home searches begin online, whether its buying or selling a home, I’m grateful for the opportunity to guide clients every step of the way, helping them move seamlessly from the digital world to the real one.

Real estate is part of my family’s story. Both of my grandfathers built legacies and generational wealth through real estate sales and investments. Before becoming a full-time Realtor, I followed a similar path—investing in and renovating my own properties. I understand how stressful a transaction can feel, and I take pride in being a steady, thoughtful guide who helps clients navigate the process with confidence.

I’m licensed in New Jersey as a Broker-Salesperson and hold several professional designations from the National Association of Realtors, including Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR), Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource (SFR), e-PRO, and Military Relocation Professional (MRP).

Originally from Lubbock, Texas, I moved to the Washington, D.C. area after college and began my career in marketing at USA Today, later working as an investigative journalist at Dateline NBC with a focus on consumer reporting. Today, I live in Montclair, New Jersey with my husband, a civil engineer. My hobbies include exploring beautiful NJ, spending time with family, and attending events focused on film, culture, and social topics.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I’m always excited to meet new clients and would be honored to support you on your real estate journey.
