Maria Mendelsohn

Realtor Associate Maria began her professional career in the world of investment banking, representing large world funds for companies like Bear Stearns, R.D. Smith & Co., Sculley Brothers and Paine Webber. But her true passion has always been all things equestrian.   As a graduate of Foxcroft School in Middleburg, Virginia, she rode and competed as a young girl. As a result, she understands the sensibilities of those who live the same lifestyle, contributing to her success as a real estate professional specializing in fine equestrian and luxury properties. Maria's knowledge of the finance industry and her dedication to excellence make her a talented advocate for clients' real estate interests.   Maria is a dominating force within the equestrian real estate industry. Her clients consider her a trusted advisor. As a result, many of the world's most notable industry leaders and world-class equestrians turn to Maria for her real estate expertise.   Due to her success, extensive experience and knowledge of both real estate and the equestrian industry, Maria was recruited by Douglas Elliman to be a member of the exclusive Sports and Entertainment division, a designation reserved for the rare broker who meets the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.   As an active member within the equestrian community Maria is always looking for ways to give back. She is discrete, diplomatic and fiercely protective of her clients and fully appreciates the value of building relationships based on mutual trust and understanding. She is very experienced and well versed in taking complete care from top to bottom including additional family members, the chef, pilot, and barn staff.

From beginning to end, you and your team went above and beyond, handling each aspect of the process in an expert fashion with grace and finesse. From finding a listing for us that “checked every box,” to professionally guiding us through the negotiations, the contract, the inspection, the closing, then recommending first class tradespeople (painter, electrician, plumber, etc.) to assist us after we closed; this was the smoothest transaction we’ve yet to engage in. You, Lindsay and your entire Douglas Elliman team are superstars; we are extremely grateful to you all for helping us find the perfect property."

  • "Maria has an ability to look at all possibilities and was sensitive to all the people’s needs in both parties, the seller and the buyer. She is thoughtful, not forceful, wise and creative. I was very confident that if we were meant to get the property we were looking at that we would. Ours took some time unfolding and Maria never rushed any of us or made us feel uncomfortable. She held the space and allowed it to all unfold in its own time. I will recommend Maria to anyone looking to engage in a real estate deal. She has savvy and heart! In my book that goes a long way."

  • "I’ve worked with Maria Mendelsohn for over 10 years as her photographer. I would like to emphasize that she is the most professional and thoughtful agent I have ever worked with. She gives more than 110 percent to her clients and follows through even after the sale has completed. She will help find a trainer for the new owner or their child, household help — anything that will make the move easier for the clients. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a seasonal, rental or relocation to beautiful horse country."
