Walk Score® rates an address from 0–100 by how easily everyday errands — groceries, coffee, dining, school pickup — can be done on foot. 50+ means some errands can be walked, 70+ means most can, and 90+ is a rare walker's paradise. Transit and Bike scores read the same way for public transportation and cycling.

I’m Maria DeSalvo, a fifth-generation Marin County native and real estate advisor. I’ve built my business on integrity, personalized strategy, and genuine connection. Getting to play a role in a transitional chapter in someone’s life – whether they’re buying their first home, selling their family home, or growing their investment portfolio – is the part of this work I never take for granted.
Some clients call me their house therapist. Others call me an expert in my field. What I know for certain is that no two journeys are alike, and I treat them that way.
My approach is calm and grounded. I believe the best thing I can do for a client is make something complicated feel manageable and be two steps ahead before the pressure sets in. For sellers, that means acting as a full project manager: home improvement guidance, staging, vendors, pricing, timing – the whole process. For buyers, it means being a steady guide through a market that rarely feels steady.
