After immigrating to the United States in 2000 to join her husband, Maral dedicated a decade to being a stay-at-home mother, during which she was actively involved in her children’s schools and supported Armenian nonprofit organizations. This period of her life, marked by unwavering commitment and reliability, reflected the strength of her character. Building on her early academic foundation—a bachelor’s degree in economics—she returned to school to earn a Master of Public Administration and Nonprofit Management from the University of San Francisco. Additionally, she earned an Advanced Project Management Certificate from Stanford University.
In 2012, Maral began working at Stanford University, where she applied her strong background in economics, data analysis, and finance. However, it was her growing passion for real estate that led her to obtain her license in 2022 and join Keller Williams in the Bay Area in January 2023. She is now part of the Live.Play.Real Estate team, where she uses her analytical skills to study market trends, school ratings, and cost-effective home-buying strategies. Her enthusiasm and dedication to real estate are unwavering.
One of her notable comparative studies examines the connection between housing prices and school ratings in the Bay Area. She found that Campbell is one of the most cost-effective cities in terms of home prices relative to school ratings. Another research project revealed that purchasing and living in a two-bedroom condo in Santa Clara County can increase net worth by nearly $700,000 after 10 years compared to renting.
By combining her passion for community development with her extensive expertise in economics and finance, Maral strives to empower clients and communities with data-driven insights that help inform sound real estate and investment decisions. Her competence and trustworthiness in these fields form the foundation of her work.
