Cindy Riley

Associate Broker and Agent

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.

Reviews


Highly likely to recommend

“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.”

Testimonials

"There really are not enough words to describe how grateful I am for Sharon Allen Realtor. ❤️ Buying this home was about so much more than finding the right house. For me, it represented a fresh start, a new beginning, and the chance to create a new chapter for my son and me. That made the entire process incredibly important and emotional, and I could not have asked for a better person to walk t… Read MoreRead Less
"Just purchased a home with Steve Williams, who was an exceptional agent from start to finish. Everything he brought to the table empowered us as buyers: his general knowledge of the industry, specific knowledge of the area in which we were looking, and help navigating a particularly tricky situation that unexpectedly arose with little time to sort things out. Cannot recommend Steve enough."
"I have sold several homes over the years and no sale went as smoothly as the one with Steve Williams as my agent. Besides getting a buyer for my home within two weeks of going to market and with a price over asking , everyone involved executed an impressive selling process from start to finish. Their communication was outstanding, especially the "what to expect" emails. I was well informed of what… Read MoreRead Less

"Carmella was a delight to work with while looking for our new home. She is a dedicated and persistent relator that goes above and beyond. She is always quick to respond and makes herself available 24/7. I would recommend Carmella and her team to anyone looking to buy/sell! Thank you for helping us find our perfect home!!"

"Carmella was PHENOMENAL! I purchased 2 houses through her. During my first time looking for a house, I was unaware of what I wanted (just that I wanted to get out my mom’s place lol) and she helped direct to my dream condo! When I wanted to grow my space, she helped me sell my condo and helped me look for my second home. She was so patient with me; we spent months looking for both houses. When I t… Read MoreRead Less
"When I was looking to buy my first home, Laura was recommended to me by several coworkers. She took the time to listen to what I was interested in, find me homes within my budget, and help me with the entire buying process. I didn’t feel like a number or a sale - she truly cares. I 10000000% recommend her, and if I ever plan to move, she is my first choice."
"Laura provided exceptional services, going above and beyond. She was amazing through the whole process - we received an offer and signed at asking price. She is very knowledgeable of the greater Baltimore area. I would recommend without hesitation."
"Laura was our realtor when we first started looking for a house in 2014. She worked tirelessly, showing us house after house that fit our needs, but just wasn’t the one. When we finally found our first home, we were so excited, and Laura was there for us every step of the way. From that moment on, we knew we had found not only an incredible realtor but a lifelong friend. When we outgrew our first… Read MoreRead Less
"John did a great job listening to exactly what we were looking for. With the current market we felt he prepared us for all the different scenarios. John was responsive and always available if we had questions or wanted to look at a home last minute. We are so happy he found us a home we are excited about and met all of our needs, highly recommend!"
"John was an amazing Realtor for my husband and me when we were looking for our second home near the ocean. He was super responsive when we needed anything or had a question or concern. He made this extremely easy for us . I would highly recommend him to be your realtor."
"John has been our go-to realtor for years, and we wouldn't trust anyone else! Over multiple transactions, he's consistently delivered expert guidance, honest advice, and outstanding results. He knows the market inside and out, is always responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients. More than just our realtor, John has become a trusted advisor we can count on. Highly recommend!"
"One of the best decisions I've made recently was to work with Jess on my recent home purchase. It can be tempting to purchase a home without a realtor, but simply put - I would not have finished this process without Jess. I wish I could say it was a seamless experience, but there were substantial hurdles along the way and Jess managed all of them effortlessly. In some cases, people can sometimes w… Read MoreRead Less
