Ana-Maria Contis was born in Cluj, Transylvania, Romania. Although she comes from Dracula's land, Ana-Maria is a very caring person. In June 2000, with about $130 in her pocket and barely speaking a few sentences in English, she relocated, by herself, to the USA. During this tumultuous journey, she realized there are moments in life (whether you plan for them or not) when you need different specialists for yourself or for the people you care about.
Ana-Maria started working in the real estate field as loan officer back in 2005 after training in the processing, doc drawing and funding department of a Mortgage Banker. Her knowledge and experience in the mortgage field enables her to set accurate expectations for everyone involved, explain the process and keep the process as smooth as possible.
In 2013 she started working as a real estate broker and in 2017 opened her own Brokerage, Coastal Homes & Estates. In 2021 she joined eXp Realty to have more support for the daily operations and be able to focus on helping sellers and buyers in need of assistance.
When it comes to working with people who are going through difficult times it takes a special professional. If you (or your clients) are going through a foreclosure, bankruptcy or a consented sale Ana-Maria has the knowledge, compassion and desire to guide and make the best out of any situation life throws at you (or your clients).
When relocating, downsizing or upsizing, Ana-Maria can help decide what strategy works best for you (ex: if you have another home, should you sell or rent it, should you sell or buy first, etc,...). She has the patience, awareness, and knowledge to discover your specific real estate goals/needs/concerns so the move into the next phase of life is manageable in every way.
Ana-Maria has the resources to sell your home quickly through an auction platform and a marketplace of cash buyers or through the open marketplace if the timeframe allows it.
She can connect you with great local lenders (who know the ins and outs of the local market), home inspectors, estate planners, CPAs and many other key professionals. She'll guide you step by step so you can be as effective as possible.
Since 2005 Ana-Maria has successfully helped hundreds of families with their real estate needs. Do you have anything to lose if you reach out to her, see if she can help?

WHY USE AN AGENT TO SELL?
When the market is favoring the Seller, it may seem like a slam-dunk to sell a home. But there are so many ways things can go wrong for a seller who tries to represent themselves in selling a home.
The legal aspects of the contract alone are getting harder to navigate and seller’s need a professional that can write a solid contract, protecting their interests. In this fast market, of an average of 15 days on the market, using an Agent is more likely to get a fair market value for your home, assist with qualified buyers, and make sure your investment is represented properly and sold.
WHY USE AN AGENT TO BUY?
-
They have a ton of training! Buying a home requires lots of forms, reports, documents, disclosures, and other technical stuff. Agents can help you prepare an offer, advise you with contingencies, avoid costly mistakes, and delays in the process.
-
Real Estate Agents have even more search power than you do when it comes to finding listings that fit your criteria.
-
They know how to negotiate. It’s their job to help you be successful in this market. Knowing what to negotiate and what favors not to ask is part of their skill set.
-
They are connected to everyone in the industry. Agents make it their job to know everyone that can possibly help in the process of buying. Mortgage brokers, real estate attorneys, home inspectors, stagers, and more, are in their network.
-
Whether you are buying from a friend or relative, you should have someone that has your back representing your interests. Buying a home is one of the largest purchases you will ever make.
