About Me

I am a Latina mom and grandmother. I know from experience how important it is when a family is ready to sell or buy a home, especially if it’s for the first time. As a realtor for EXP Realty, it is my goal to provide you with a smooth and seamless transaction process. I look forward to finding my buyers their dream homes and getting my sellers the highest price possible in the SF Bay Area. Through my 20 years of experience I have industry knowledge, I know exactly what it takes to negotiate the best deal, and I am passionate about helping my clients create their wealth through real estate. I am fluently bilingual in English and Spanish and am available to answer any questions you may have.


To help you get to know me better, some of my hobbies include practicing yoga, reading, and spending time with family and friends.


My experience includes:


  • Relocation
  • Short Sales/Foreclosures
  • Bank Owned Properties
  • 1031 Investment Properties
  • Probate & Trust Sales
  • Property management
  • Multi-Unit Sales and Management
  • Loan Modification
  • Financing and Mortgage Strategies


In my 20 years of experience being a local realtor in the San Francisco Bay Area and surrounding areas, I have seen it all. I treat each transaction like it is my own. I make sure all of my client's needs and wants are satisfied, no matter the complexity of the transaction. I am more than willing to answer any questions, such as market trends and what a home might be worth.

About Me

Maria "Antonieta" Jandres is a real estate agent, entrepreneur, and social justice advocate. She is a native from Nicaragua and now resides in San Francisco. Her passion to serve others stems from the desire to help others establish their home. As she gained more knowledge, education and experience over the years, she found that many people had challenges to establish their first home due to legal issues and citizenship. She became well versed on legal issues, immigration issues, and housing issues.


Maria Antonieta offers her clients more than 8 years experience and the robust services that bridge the gap for many people to reach their dream of homeownership and the real estate process.


Maria Antonieta advocates for her clients and believes that making your dreams come true is more than the American Dream, it is a Priceless Opportunity.


I am part of MOMS (Miracles of Main Street) because I believe in helping women; we help the community itself. Being a mom is one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. I want to be able to help other women with their confidence and also in building their professional goals.

About Me

Specializing in assisting everyone from first-time homebuyers to seasoned investors, I find immense satisfaction in helping my clients achieve their homeownership dreams. As a Senior Loan Agent at Homeowners Financial Group, I’m able to leverage an extensive array of tools and resources to guide people like you toward tailored home loan solutions that perfectly align with your individual needs and goals. With me at the helm of your mortgage process, you can trust in my expertise and dedication as we navigate the intricate landscape of home lending together. Meeting your homeownership aspirations with precision and ensuring your financial success are my utmost priorities!


Over three decades, I’ve accumulated invaluable experience within the realm of home lending. My journey began in the heart of the Bay Area while still in high school, where I honed my craft at a prominent financial institution. Through unwavering dedication and tireless effort, I ascended through the ranks, transitioning from a proficient loan processor to a seasoned underwriter, ultimately reaching my current role as a proficient loan officer.


Beyond my professional endeavors, I am an ardent supporter of my local community. I actively coordinate annual charitable events dedicated to enriching the lives of foster children in San Mateo County, embodying my commitment to making a meaningful impact beyond the world of finance. Additionally, my philanthropic efforts extend to benefiting farmworker families and children through my involvement with the ALAS non-profit organization in Half Moon Bay, California, further showcasing my dedication to making a positive difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
