Bio

Cindy is Licensed in Maryland and Pennsylvania

Team Founder
It would be hard to beat Cindy with breadth of experience in real estate. Since becoming a full-time realtor in 1983, she has handled land and farm properties as well as every kind of residential sale from condos to multi-million dollar estate properties, which provides her with a comprehensive knowledge of all things real estate. In 1990 she founded Riley & Associates Realtors where she shone as a straight-talking mentor to other realtors and eventually grew the business to three offices with over thirty agents. In December 2019, she sold her company and was able to focus on her role as owner and agent with the Riley-Maher Team. Cindy’s contribution to real estate can be summed up in a word: generosity. As her clients and colleagues can attest, she is generous with her time, her wisdom, and her energy, resulting in a great experience and outcomes for clients.

“Cindy and the team were amazing to work with. Cindy's extensive knowledge was an incredible help during our 1.5-year housing search. She learns who you are and what you want, and then ends up knowing what you are looking for better than you do yourself at times!! Today we closed on the perfect home. THANK YOU to Cindy and the whole team! It wouldn't have happened without you!”

“Could not recommend working with Cindy and Jess more. It is clear that they both care for their clients as people, and work tirelessly to find people the best house for them. They were consistently responsive and always made themselves available for the numerous houses we wanted to tour each week. We trusted them wholeheartedly when discussing offer recommendations/strategy and with their opinions. Can confidently say we wouldn't have found our perfect first house without them, and we are so happy!”

“Cindy Riley is a professional, straight shooting agent with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry. She will thoroughly investigate, discover and point out every issue with a home--positive and negative--and undoubtedly spared me from making several bad investments based on her astute observations. She takes the time to learn what you are looking for in a home and neighborhood and truly advocates for your best interests, working tirelessly on your behalf. I am a first time home buyer with virtually no knowledge about real estate and Cindy patiently and expertly guided me through the entire process--and over the course of several years--until I finally found exactly the right house in the right location for me. Cindy works closely with another superb agent, Jessica Maher, and as a result you get two agents for the price of one: whenever Cindy couldn't get back to me right away, Jess did, and I felt incredibly well cared for through what would otherwise have been a rather stressful process. I come from a family full of lawyers and Cindy and Jess made sure to address all of their many concerns until even my many advisors were satisfied. If you are looking for agents who are not pushy or salesy and who will genuinely look after your best interests, then look no further: Cindy and Jess will take care of you as if you were part of their own family. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

Her knowledge, advocacy, and dedication make her my #1 choice for real estate services."
