Meet Maria

Maria Banou, Home Life Advisor & Local Resource Guide

Helping homeowners make better decisions about furniture, sleep, moving, downsizing, and everyday home life — before they spend.

"I help people navigate home decisions with clarity and confidence — so every choice supports the life they want to live."

How Maria works

What working with Maria feels like

Every conversation starts with your situation, not a catalog.

Maria is not a salesperson. Sometimes the most useful answer is to wait, repair what you have, or do nothing at all.

Measurements, layout, sleep needs, and how you actually live come first. The product conversation comes last, if it comes at all.

No jargon, no industry shorthand — just clear explanations of the tradeoffs so you can decide with confidence.

Helping homeowners throughout Southwest Florida and nationwide. Humidity, storm season, and year-round cooling shape almost every recommendation.
