Maria Atlas: A Broker Can Do It All

Real estate has always been considered a “safe harbor” for investments. Even during times of turbulence, it remains an attractive investment tool. Whatever your goal may be – a profitable investment in a project abroad or the acquisition of real estate for living – you need a reliable partner for the deal, an expert who knows the market and the rules of the game within it. And that expert is Maria Atlas.

Maria is an international broker, managing assets in the real estate sector in Russia and the UAE, focusing on business, premium, and deluxe segments. For over 7 years, she has been changing the perception of broker activities and client service standards. When you meet Maria, you are amazed at how she manages to complete deals, solve client’s problems, explore new properties in two (!) different countries, and still look so luxurious. The famous “this is a man’s world” has never sounded so outdated.

Maria’s clients include families building a safety cushion for themselves and their children, young IT professionals and individuals shaping the economies of regions, industries, and investment climates both in our country and abroad.

Working with business owners and executives in large companies, Maria Atlas understands how they value their time and what they want to achieve from their investments. She serves as their reliable guide in the real estate market. “When you invest in real estate yourself, you understand the concerns and desires of clients firsthand and find yourself on the same page with them,” she says.

Maria is always immersed in the market, studying the specifics and advantages of properties, from investment potential and location to finishing materials, and she offers the most suitable option to her clients.

For Maria, the trust of clients is the most valuable reward. Honesty is the most important quality for a professional broker, according to Maria. Earning a quick profit by “selling anything” is not her style; she always acts in the client’s best interests. “Sometimes I tell my clients, ‘A good hunter must be patient,’ she shares. For example, when a hot property is launching, and I know that there will be a second phase with better positions. I recommend waiting to get more advantageous options.” This approach allows her to build long-term relationships with clients that are mutually beneficial.

“In working with the premium segment, speed is of paramount importance,” says Atlas. “Both in terms of receiving information and the time it takes to acquire the desired property. Other brokers and their clients are already competing for it.” At the same price, you can get two completely different investment properties in terms of attractiveness – it all depends on the speed of decision-making. For the same price, you can buy apartments with sea views, but if you delay, and you might end up admiring another property or road. Naturally, this directly affects the future ROI of the purchase.

However, Maria believes that she can do much more for her clients than simply selling real estate: “I serve as a Family office for my clients,” she says. “I help them with various everyday matters. If needed, for example, opening an account in the UAE or assisting with obtaining licenses, delivering documents or purchases in Russia, or simply organizing an airport meeting – I’ll do it.“

It’s essential for a professional to stay informed about what’s happening in the world and the real estate market while building good relationships with property developers. Today, Maria and her team are among the top 10 brokers according to leading developers. Thanks to their close contacts, she can secure the best properties and premium conditions for bulk deals. As a result, her clients receive offers that are significantly better in terms of ROI than those from other teams or acquire properties that perfectly fit the specific needs of their families.

Maria’s work style not only delivers liquid acquisitions to her clients but also brings her personal satisfaction. Over time, clients return to her for advice on various projects as an expert. Maria sets a new level for the profession of a broker – she is a partner, a financial manager, an expert, and a companion with whom there is always something to discuss. In short, a broker must be able to do it all when needed.
