Her new memoir, Raised in Silence, offers an intimate look into her life as a Child of Deaf Adults (CODA) and how her experiences have shaped her approach to both real estate and advocacy.
At the heart of Maria’s work is her belief in the power of connection. Through her memoir, she shares the story of growing up in a Deaf household and the unique perspective it gave her on communication, empathy, and advocacy. Maria was raised by Deaf parents, learning American Sign Language (ASL) as her first language and becoming their unofficial interpreter at a young age. It was during this time that she helped her parents purchase their first home, an experience that solidified her lifelong commitment to making the real estate process more inclusive for all.
Her memoir explores the challenges and rewards of being a bridge between two worlds, offering insights into the importance of understanding and connection. The book is a reflection of Maria’s mission to foster inclusivity in every aspect of life—something she brings to her work as a real estate professional. Whether working with Deaf clients or members of the LGBTQ+ community, Maria ensures that every person she works with feels seen, heard, and supported.
