“I am a firm believer of “hard work will get you everywhere.” With a strong work ethic and a driven mentality anything is possible in life. Growing up with strong family ties this has given me the ability to go out into the world and achieve anything I set my mind to. My mother always said, “it’s not where you go, it’s what you do when you get there.” This motto has given me confidence that no matter where I go, and whatever comes my way, I can make the best of it and find success. Being given great opportunities at a young age gave me the ability to excel in my life today. My experience in the retail sales industry spans more than 13 years and has given me a vast understanding of what people are looking for, why they are looking for it, and how I can help them find it. It allowed me to develop myself into a true professional in any category of my life.”

Maureen recently joined Williams & Stuart Real Estate because she wanted to be with a locally owned and operated real estate office again where experienced, professional agents work together and share ideas. Maureen also wants to share her experience with new agents who come on board so they gain the knowledge she did early on in her career.
Teaming up with her mother Joan, an experienced agent for many years, Maureen began her career in Real Estate in 1990. Together they worked in a small office environment surrounded by experienced agents who had also been in the business for many years. The lessons learned from these agents cannot compare to anything that may be taught in a classroom.
She started off working predominately with first-time home buyers. Initially, Maureen would pre-qualify the buyers so they felt comfortable in knowing they could afford to buy home. From there she would work with them to develop a budget and understand their requirements and expectations; all before making appointments to see various properties. Once the affordability was determined she began the search for the perfect home. As a result of this diligence Maureen understood what they needed and acted accordingly.
As time went on her past clients became sellers. She would do the same work from beginning to end and assist them in their decision to sell their property consistent with current/future market conditions. There were many times Maureen told her clients, “It is not a good time for you right now.” Maureen has been more concerned about her clients well being and not in her own gain. Her twenty (20) years of professional experience coupled with her integrity = priceless! As a testament to her reputation Maureen enjoys a 98% referral business. Her past clients continue to come back again and again, and refer their friends and family.
Maureen grew up in Edgewood, Pawtuxet Village section of Cranston and currently resides there. She has been active in service to her community which includes serving on the Gaspee Days Committee which is responsible for the Annual Gaspee Days Parade; and also volunteering as a mentor to children in the Warwick school department for 10 years. Her professional associations include a membership in the Rhode Island Association of
Realtors, the Greater Providence Board of Realtors, and the State-wide Multiple Listing Service.
