Life was good by most people’s standards but something was missing for Maria. She loved her family and had a great government job but was restless and feeling unfulfilled. Spending many years in this unfulfilled life she made the decision to leave her husband and start a new life with her two girls.

In 2015 she left the security of that government job and pension, liquidated all of her assets and re invested her life’s savings in the personal development of herself. Having been born and raised in St. Catharines and having such a passion for the region, it made total sense for her to focus her real estate investing business in the area.

Maria is now the CEO, Consultant and Trainer at Elite Property Investments Inc. a wealth building and personal development training company that she founded together with her partner Carlo Cocozza. Managed by Maria, who has spent time building local government and supplier relationships, business partnership and affiliations with other local businesses and a main focus on client relationship building as a trusted service provider. The company has quickly built a reputation as St. Catharines market specialists with a vast market knowledge of the Niagara region, in Ontario Canada, as a whole in the multifamily and commercial arena.  With a speciality in creating and attracting off market opportunities, with a WIN WIN WIN approach, Elite has grown into a “One Stop Shop” for all your real estate needs for investors.

Maria is no stranger to understanding the value in personal development. As Maria quotes “The greatest investment is the investment in yourself” this is a line she lives by and has created success and abundance in the self development space.

As a Trainer and Master Practitioner in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnotherapy, Master Practitioner in Time Line Therapy®, Master Coach and now NUMEROLOGY ACADEMY® PRACTITIONER Maria uses a bridge model guidance approach with clients and mentee’s that bridges them from where they are to where they want to be in a space of life success, clarity and wealth.
