Maria Patakas

Maria is proud to join Desert Sotheby's International Realty’s Palm Springs office. Her proven track record, excellent listening skills, natural charisma, and genuine personality are a welcome addition to the Coachella Valley team. A top-producing agent in the desert for the past several years, she began her Real Estate career in 2004 in Orange County, where she was born and raised. The experiences she gained in advising clients through the home loan process, are valuable to this day, as she helps navigate her through the often complex and lengthy process of buying or selling a home. Maria has a great eye for style and design and enjoys the creative nuances involved in selling real estate. She can easily envision how to properly stage and market a property and present it in its best possible light to achieve top dollar for her clients. Maria’s substantial knowledge of the desert area market extends not only throughout the city of Palm Springs but also Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, and La Quinta. Maria’s innate desire to help others motivates her to be an advocate for several important causes including local and national animal rescue organizations. She is eternally grateful to friends and associates who have demonstrated their trust and support through referrals because that has laid the foundation for where their business is today. She looks forward to helping more people achieve their real estate goals and maintaining the high standards of service she and Mike have built their reputation on. Maria is a devoted mom to her fur babies and enjoys spending as much time as possible with her family and friends who are like family. She also enjoys popping into a dance class, singing, yoga, hiking and traveling.
