History

Established in 2007.

From Mariya: I joined Keller Williams Realty as a full-​time agent in 2007, just before the real estate bubble burst. As a new agent, I learned everything I could about local real estate and also embraced technology tools to develop a website that stood out and was a unrestricted resource (no log-​in needed!) for home buyers and sellers. As home prices began to decrease and suspicions of the «doom and gloom» of the market began to realize, my business continued to grow. I am excited to now have others on my team to help your selling and/​or buying process run smoothly, from the time we first meet, until the closing and beyond!

On a practical level, my team does our best to respond to your questions quickly and thoroughly, to really know the market (for example, I’ve been to thousands of homes), to negotiate on your behalf, and to advise you in a non-​pushy way.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Business Owner

I am a full-​time Realtor, which allows me to devote all of my efforts to your real estate needs. I enjoy planning and implementing new features on my website to provide you the best real estate resource available in the area.

I was an officer in the Illinois Army National Guard until I was honorably discharged in 2010. I served as an Interrogator, Intelligence Platoon Leader, and a General’s Aide. My last position was as the Intelligence Officer for a Chemical Battalion, where I planned the battalion’s response to Illinois’ homeland security threats. I was born in Norilsk (Siberia), Russia, and spent my early childhood in Kharkov, Ukraine. My family moved to Chicago in 1989, and then to Des Plaines, IL, in 1991. I have lived in the Champaign area since 2000 and am fluent in Russian and Spanish. I have degrees in Economics and Spanish from the University of Illinois.

Mariya is helpful, informative and very professional. We really enjoyed working with her and her team on our home sale, and were happy with all aspects of the association including reasonable suggestions for a quick sale (and a quick sale!). This is the 3rd home we’ve bought/​sold in the CU area and she conducted the smoothest most trouble-​free process yet. We highly recommend her and her staff.

We used Mariya’s team to purchase a second home this past fall and found her and her team knowledgable, professional, prompt, and effective. A great home buying experience overall!

We recently purchased our first home with the help of Mariya and the aroundcu team. Our experience with Mariya is all that we could have hoped for and more during our first home search. We are pretty particular with what we wanted in a home and it took us about 8 months to find the perfect home. Mariya was very patient with us during the entire time. She was also very responsive to our needs and would get back to emails and phone calls almost instantaneously. We most definitely will be recommending her to all our family and friends.

We had an excellent experience purchasing a home with Mariya. She responds to questions extremely quickly and is very thorough. Mariya was a pleasure to work with. She is friendly and informative. We wanted to make sure we worked with someone who was not pushy and would let us take our time. Not once did I feel pressured by Mariya (even after looking at over 50 homes!). We 100% trusted her judgement and expertise throughout the entire buying process. We would recommend Mariya to anyone with no reservations. She is the best and we would work with her again in a heartbeat!

I contacted Mariya to help me purchase my first home, based on the positive reviews. All these 5 star reviews are 100% on target. Mariya is an outstanding agent – very knowledgeable, patient, funny, and easy to get along with. She was very perceptive about what types of homes would work best for me, and helped me at every step of the way with her extensive knowledge and great advice. Although I had a very modest price range, Mariya always went above and beyond, including working on her day off to make sure my offer got submitted ASAP when I found the right place. And her negotiation skills helped me get a great deal. I can’t imagine having a better experience, and when it’s time for me to sell, I’ll be calling her again.

We recently purchased our first home together with Mariya’s help, and we couldn’t be happier! She was patient and thorough, never made us feel rushed or pressured, gave great advice and feedback, and is extremely knowledgeable about the entire process from home values to inspections to financing. I would most definitely recommend her and will use her again if we move or sell in the future!

We re-​located to Champaign from Boston, and Mariya was incredibly helpful at every step. She sent us very complete information on properties up front, and we were able to put in an accepted offer on a wonderful home within 24 hours of coming to town.
Enthusiastic and detail-​oriented, professional and naturally friendly, her military background gives her a genuine ease with all sorts of people, and she is clearly respected and liked by the Realtor community here as well. As a former Realtor myself, I refer her to you unreservedly — look no further, you have found your Champaign County property specialist!

An important disclaimer: we never finished the buying process with Mariya, due to problems with our financing (long story.)
However, we worked together on finding and buying a house, and we just had to leave a recommendation here. There aren’t enough superlatives in the English language for Mariya. She is the ultimate professional, knowledgable, available, kind and polite, attentive to our needs and just awesome.
The bottom line is simple — work with Mariya if you’re in the market to buy or sell a house. You can’t do any better than her.

Chicago, IL
While not totally new to the Champaign-​Urbana area, we didn’t know it well enough to make a definitive decision about buying a condo. Mariya was rated highly on Unilocal and her web site was well made, so I emailed her and she quickly got right back to me. She figured out what we wanted and gave us a selection of units that could satisfy our needs. We drove from out of town to look at her selections several times and she was always on time for our meetings, a not inconsequential factor when we’ve driven three hours to get there.
She stuck with us through the closing, keeping us from mistakes and conveniently arranging as much paper work as possible to be handled online.
She’s professional, very tech savvy, perceptive, speaks enough languages to satisfy almost anyone, and detail oriented. And she has a great sense of humor. I don’t know why you’d use another realtor.

Mariya helped my wife and I buy our first home. She was exceptionally helpful and available to answer our myriad questions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. She has the best website in the CU area for real estate (
) and is there to guide you through the home buying process every step of the way.
If you are looking to buy or sell a home, I heartily recommend Mariya.

Mariya was absolutely terrific in helping me to sell my home in Champaign. She researches and gathers all the relevant market data so that the best possible decision can be made regarding pricing and negotiating with buyers. Her home staging advice and excellent photography and enhanced web presence means you will get more buyers interested in your home if you go with Mariya. The process was absolutely flawless and even in a trying market, I was able to quickly sell home for a reasonable price. Mariya guided me the entire way and made sure the process was quick and painless. I recommend her without reservation for all your real estate needs.

Mariya is an outstanding realtor. She helped us locate and purchase our first home. She quickly picked up on what we were looking for in a home within our price range, which is no small feat. Mariya has excellent negotiation skills, which helped us purchase our house for a very reasonable price. She is also tech savvy and added to the house buying experience by posting additional pictures of the homes that we were considering, so we could access them at our convenience. Plus, she set up a calendar to keep us on track with our various deadlines and walked us through the process. I would highly recommend Mariya, if you are looking to purchase a new home!

Mariya made the home buying process an enjoyable experience. We are so excited to be in our new home! She did a great job educating us about both the area and the steps needed to buy our first home. Extremely responsive, friendly, and helpful — I highly recommend working with Mariya for your home buying/​selling needs, and I hope to do so in the future.

Mariya sold our house with her photographs, above anything else. Of course, she gave us vital staging requests, and she helped us throughout the negotiation process with ease. She is a wonderful realtor at all stages. However, my biggest compliment comes with her presentation of the house in her photos. With so many realtors showing homes in Champaign-​Urbana, the photos of the home are vital to sell people on coming to the house in the first place. NOBODY takes as good of pictures in our area. The photos were bright and inviting. Great wide angles and colors. And she spends money to add as many pictures as possible to web sites advertising the house. Add to that her self-​created video walking tour of the ENTIRE house, and people get an excellent idea of the home before viewing. Couldn’t be happier about what she does up front to sell the home. You will not go wrong with her as your realtor. Highly recommend.

We truly felt like Mariya had the same enthusiasm for selling our house that we did. She was decisive and when we took her advice our home sold in less than a month. What seemed overwhelming at first was manageable with her help and guidance.

We bought our first house from Mariya. She was very helpful and quickly zeroed in on the type of house we were looking for. Her realtor website is the best I’ve seen for the area too.
