Maria Piedra

I've always believed that life is about embracing new chapters - and helping others do the same.

My career has taken me from entrepreneur to retailer to real estate professional, but throughout every stage, I've been passionate about helping people make important decisions with confidence. At age 29, I founded The Wise Old Owl, an educational specialty toy store that grew into a six-location chain and became one of the largest independent specialty toy retailers in Massachusetts. Building that business taught me invaluable lessons about marketing, negotiation, customer service, and the importance of earning trust.

In 2008, a breast cancer diagnosis challenged me in ways I never expected and strengthened my resilience and determination. The following year, I earned my real estate license and began my career during one of the most difficult housing markets in recent history. It was an experience that taught me how to adapt, think creatively, and advocate strongly for my clients.

For the past fifteen years, I also owned and operated The Butterfly Tree Gift Boutique in Medfield while continuing to work in real estate and pursuing another passion - buying, renovating, and selling homes with my husband. Having gone through the process many times myself, I understand firsthand the excitement, challenges, and emotions that come with every move.

Today, after closing the boutique, I am fully focused on real estate and the clients I serve. My background in fashion design and marketing, combined with years of merchandising experience, gives me a unique eye for presentation, staging, and showcasing a home's best features. I combine that creativity with strong business experience and a commitment to providing personalized service every step of the way.

I proudly serve Medfield and the surrounding communities, including Dover, Sherborn, Millis, Medway, Norfolk, Walpole, Westwood, Needham, Wellesley, and the greater MetroWest area. As a resident of Jamaica Plain, I also serve buyers and sellers in Jamaica Plain, Roslindale, and West Roxbury.

Whether you're buying your first home, selling a longtime family residence, downsizing, relocating, or simply exploring your options, I would be honored to help you navigate your next chapter with confidence.
