Maria Thlang is a dedicated Bay Area real estate professional with nearly two decades of experience and a deep commitment to serving others. Having grown up in the Bay Area, she brings valuable local insight and a genuine passion for helping individuals and families achieve the dream of homeownership.

Maria earned her Bachelor of Science in Social Work from San Francisco State University and began her career as a mental health specialist in Oakland for a Asian Community Non-Profit. In 2005, she transitioned into real estate, where she discovered her true calling—guiding clients through one of the most important decisions of their lives with care, integrity, and purpose. Inspired by her heart for service and grounded in her faith, Maria approaches every client relationship with compassion and dedication.

Specializing in residential real estate, Maria is known for her honesty, strong ethics, and client-first mindset. During the challenging 2008 housing market, she became a short sale specialist, helping homeowners navigate difficult financial situations with transparency and support while working closely with lenders. She is committed to treating every client with the same level of respect and attention, regardless of price point, and is recognized for her attentive listening, thoughtful guidance, and determination to help clients successfully close.

Maria believes real estate is more than transactions—it’s about giving, serving, and building lasting relationships rooted in trust. She is passionate about helping families build wealth through real estate and create lasting legacies for future generations. She takes the time to truly understand her clients’ needs and offers advice as she would to her own family, always putting their best interests first.

Outside of real estate, Maria is actively involved in her faith community, participating in ministry and mission work. She enjoys overlanding with her husband, supports their family electrical business, and is an engaged member of a local BNI chapter. Maria values the growth and opportunity within her community and is dedicated to helping others find a place they are proud to call home.
