Over 15 Years of Experience in Real Estate.
Maria Woods, a native of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, brings a unique combination of entrepreneurial vision, global perspective, and deep community ties to her role as a Realtor with Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty in La Jolla, California.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Communications & Marketing, Maria first made her mark in the events industry, producing major productions including the iconic Rolling Stones concert at Copacabana Beach in 2006. Her path eventually led her into real estate, where she quickly became a respected figure in the Brazilian luxury property market, founding her own brokerage and specializing in high-end homes in Rio de Janeiro.
For the past eight years, Maria has called San Diego home, building a successful real estate business rooted in integrity, professionalism, and deep market expertise. She is especially known for her work with international and luxury clientele, and was proudly recognized by the San Diego Association of REALTORS® as part of the 2025 Circle of Excellence — a prestigious honor that reflects her commitment to delivering outstanding service.
But Maria’s entrepreneurial spirit doesn’t stop at real estate.
She is also the founder and product developer behind Haya Skincare, a clean beauty and wellness brand inspired by her passion for holistic living. What started as a personal journey crafting natural creams, balms, and candles at home has grown into a mission-driven business focused on purity, sustainability, and plant-based skincare. Each Haya formula is personally developed by Maria to reflect the brand’s values: safe, effective, clean beauty that supports a conscious lifestyle.
From luxury properties to luxury skincare, Maria Woods is passionate about delivering value, building trust, and making a meaningful impact in every endeavor she takes on. Whether guiding clients through a high-end home purchase or creating beauty products with purpose, Maria's unwavering dedication, vision, and heart shine through.
