Maria Patakas has been a top performer since she began her real estate career in 2004 in Orange County, California, where she was raised in a close family who taught her the morals and values that contribute to her success. She offers clients a unique set of skills and qualities that include a deep understanding of the desert communities' luxury markets, fluency in Spanish and conversational French, attention to detail, and strong negotiating techniques that are complemented by her warmth and dedication. Patakas is also a gifted communicator with innate people skills and an aptitude for grace under pressure, and as a teen, she was chosen for the Oscar-winning performance ensemble The Young Americans. Along with her colleague and husband, realtor Mike Patakas, she's garnered numerous referrals from satisfied clients and earned industry-wide recognition, respect and awards. She's also passionate about giving back to her Palm Springs community and regularly donates time as a volunteer and advocate on behalf of animals, and as a board member of the Junior League of Palm Springs Desert Communities with service as vice president of communications for the past two years.
