Maria Nichols

Founder / Broker Associate

Get to Know Me

Delivering results for buyers and sellers, while offering clear, step-by-step guidance along the way, is how Maria Nichols provides exemplary service. Her highest priority is to make your experience the best it can be ― from an initial strategy session to talk about your goals, through a supported buying or selling process, to a successful close. In 2021, she founded Reveal Real Estate, a company dedicated to giving clients a transparent view of the real estate process, step by step.
 
A top Bay Area real estate producer and former CEO of a multichain cafe and wholesale organization, Maria puts her real estate expertise and business acumen to work for her clients. From marketing to budget analysis to negotiating for the greatest return, Maria strives to meet her clients’ needs and surpass their expectations.
 
Born in Ukraine (she is fluent in Russian), where private property was forbidden under communism, Maria’s fascination with homeownership was awakened after moving to the U.S. with her family. Just before completing a degree at USC’s Marshall School of Business, she sought and was awarded a prestigious internship at a national homebuilder in Las Vegas. Her performance earned her a full-time job. The joy she felt giving delighted clients their keys to a new home cemented her love for real estate and service.
 
Maria has had her salesperson license since 2004, and she has worked through various market cycles. After earning her broker’s license in 2009, Maria ran her own Bay Area agency. The depth of her experience means no situation is too complex: Maria has helped clients sell and buy during the pandemic, negotiated successfully for buyers in competitive markets, and relocated multigenerational families from disparate locations into a single community.
 
When she’s not working with her clients, Maria keeps up with her active young daughters, Sasha and Sofia, and spends time with her beloved husband, Jeff. She loves the Bay Area, which has been her home since 1992.
 
Achieving your real estate goals are some of the most important milestones in life. Put your next investment move into the hands of a competent and dedicated partner. Contact Maria Nichols today.

Maria was great to work with. She did a fantastic job organizing staging and designed a great webpage. The house sold with just one open house weekend!

What My Clients Say

I’m so fortunate to have been referred to Maria. As a first time homebuyer, I cannot imagine going through this process, let alone in a highly competitive market, without her help and guidance. Maria is highly knowledgeable, understanding of her client’s needs/asks, encouraging, and trustworthy. She explained to me the whole process step by step in detail and was always there to answer any questions (big...

What My Clients Say

Maria is everything we needed in a real estate professional. She’s always aware of what needs to be done in the home-buying process. She is prompt, efficient, and doesn’t come off as pushy at all. Her knowledge, experience, demeanor, and awareness allowed us to relax and go with the flow. Buying a home can be extremely complicated, but she insulated us from potential stress. I highly recommend working wi...

What My Clients Say

Maria came to us like an angel. She has helped us sell our house for more then we expected, worked hard to make everything right in this crazy world we are in with closed facilities and tough document control/dispersion. We closed on our house and the new one out of state, both on time in the most challenging conditions I can imagine. She is a credit to her business and I would (and actually have), prov...
