    Bio

    I started my second career as a real estate agent after a fulfilling career in teaching high school.  Growing up in northern Virginia and later Nairobi, Kenya, I moved back to the east coast of United States where I received my BS in Wildlife Biology at Virginia Tech and later my masters degree in Teaching at John’s Hopkins University.

    I believe that my success as a real estate agent (Top 3% in Maryland, Best in Baltimore Magazine, and Blue Club at Cummings & Co Realtors), comes from my years living, and extensive traveling, overseas as well as teaching of inner city and County youth. My partner, Melodie Keller, and I love managing our multiple Airbnbs as well as working with our real estate clients. We appreciate that our clients quickly become our good friends, and we treat them as such not only every step of their home buying process but also for years beyond.

    We work 24/7 including holidays ensuring that our clients are fully taken care of.  This is the cornerstone to our success and a major reason why our clients appreciate the service we provide.  Having two agents (both former teachers) working for you and teaching you throughout the home buying process is also extremely valuable and unique.  We look forward to working with you to buying your dream home or your next investment property!!!

    “Michael and his team were absolutely fantastic in both finding an amazing home for my family AND with selling our old one. He was incredibly helpful, flexible and professional in searching for a home that made sense for us both in terms of space but finding us a "deal" or at least the best price we could get in the recent market. Our old home was sold to non-investors and at full asking! We took great care of it but still, you expect some negotiations but he had it all handled from the get-go and it closed within a month of us moving. Stars have to align for that stuff to go smoothly but Michael was the one pushing those stars into alignment. 10/10 would recommend 😊”

    “Mike and Melodie were superb. They were diligent, friendly, tactful, and responsive. We dealt with two other realtors before we found them and were disappointed with their service. We were new to the Baltimore market and required assistance. We got that and more from Mike and Melodie and purchased a beautiful home. We would recommend them anytime to anyone.”

    "Fred Valentin ( a very humble and honest man) sold my house and property in a professional manner and managed to blow away all of my expectations. Fred did all of the market research, scheduled professional interior / exterior photographer, and registered it on all of the apps. I even had REALTORS with Buyers scheduling visits to look at my property before my home even hit the market! All I reall… Read MoreRead Less

    "Steve is the real deal! Professionalism, effectiveness, knowledge, communication, you name it, 5 stars across the board. He was instrumental in our home buying process. He’s the first person I’ll be reaching out to the next time I’m looking to buy property."

    "I’m really happy to have had Steve as my realtor. Steve has a lot of integrity and knowledge, so the process made me feel super safe. All of his recommendations worked out really well, especially with me being a first time homebuyer. He was able to help with negotiating and getting seller credit, while also finding a great lender and inspector. He helped me understand each step of the process so t… Read MoreRead Less

    "This may not be everyone’s opinion, but when you’re choosing a surgeon, the one who’s “Insta-famous” for funny posts is not the one I want operating on me. I want the one who’s focused on their craft, not their follower count. Same goes for realtors IMHO. There are realtors—the sales reps —and there are REALTORS—the ones who actually care, think, and do the work. John is a REALTOR. The kind of … Read MoreRead Less

    "John was recommended to us when we started the journey of buying a house, and we are very grateful that he was. We found that having John as your agent is to benefit from his ability to not only break down every step of what is a very intimidating process but to also benefit from his ability to guide you through those steps with patience, attention to detail, and with clear dedication to you as hi… Read MoreRead Less

    "John went above and beyond for my partner and I as we were buying our first home. He took us through each step of the process, so we clearly understood what we needed and answered all of our questions along the way. He made sure that the home we were buying fit our current and future needs. He even came and picked us up for closing in the snowstorm so we wouldn't lose our parking. Highly recommend… Read MoreRead Less

    "We recently purchased a home in Baltimore while living in Texas, and we cannot thank John Maranto enough for making this process seamless and stress-free. From our first conversation, it was clear that John is deeply knowledgeable about the Baltimore market, pointing out nuances in neighborhoods that we never would have known from afar. He is incredibly attuned to the needs of his clients; he lis… Read MoreRead Less

    "John did an outstanding job selling my home. He has deep knowledge of the local market and helped price the house perfectly, which made a significant difference in how quickly it sold.

    "John Maranto was absolutely stellar to work with. He invested a lot of time in both my wife and I to ensure that not only did we buy the house we wanted, but also bought the house we *needed*. John made the home-buying process easy for us and as first time home-buyers, he made sure to educate us along the way. John is incredibly knowledgeable and answered questions before we had them.

    "Working with John was great. He’s a straight up and straightforward agent. Really took care of me and got me into a home that was right for me. During the process he was very informative without being overbearing. And pretty much got me exactly what I was hoping for. Also had a meeting with him upfront. We set expectations and goals and I think that meeting went a long way to easing my anxieties a… Read MoreRead Less

    "In my book, Kelly Wise was the best realtor I’ve ever worked with. She knew the market and helped us successfully sell our father’s house. Kelly supported us at every decision point with expert guidance - making recommendations but providing the space to ask questions, which enabled us to get to the right decision. We lived at a distance during the entire process, and Kelly consistently stepped in… Read MoreRead Less

    "Our home buying experience with Kelly could not have been better! Even with it being the start of a seemingly endless seller's market, Kelly kept us extremely motivated while the houses that we liked were going under contract in what felt like seconds after listing! Then we found the perfect home.. Kelly could tell by our faces that this was the one we loved. She was able to help us come up with t… Read MoreRead Less

    "My husband and I bought a house early this year. We are so happy we crossed paths with Kelly. Kelly accommodated for the evening showings which were what fit our schedule at the time. We had her driving up and down but she always had a smile! When we found the home for us, we were closing within a month. Kelly made sure she was on top of everything and made it happen even though there were some hu… Read MoreRead Less
