As a dedicated real estate professional, I specialize in both residential and commercial properties throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. My clients range from buyers and sellers to investors, property owners, and tenants, and I’m passionate about helping them navigate the complexities of real estate to achieve their goals. With a Master’s degree in Computer Science and extensive experience in Silicon Valley startups, I bring a detail-oriented and analytical mindset to the real estate industry. This foundation, coupled with comprehensive education in property selection, valuation, inspections, staging, marketing, and negotiation, enables me to provide expert guidance at every stage of the process. I’m an active member of the Silicon Valley Association of Realtors, the California Association of Realtors, and the National Association of Realtors. As an FAA-certified drone pilot, I also offer professional real estate photography and videography to provide clients with unique and impactful property visuals. My YouTube channel, Maria Shlychkova, Real Estate, shares market insights and property highlights to keep my clients informed. Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my family in Castro Valley—where I live with my husband, two sons, and our dog. In my free time, you can find me exploring the outdoors, biking, skiing, cooking, or indulging in photography and acrylic painting. I believe that real estate is more than just an investment—it’s the foundation for financial growth and long-term security. Whether you’re looking to buy a home, invest in a property, or find commercial space, I am committed to providing you with personalized service, expert advice, and unwavering support every step of the way.
