MARYAM AMIRI
Trusted Guide
Those who set out to make their real estate goals a reality can feel all alone … like they are beginning to move across an uncharted wilderness. Getting to the other side is made much easier when they are accompanied by an experienced advisor. That’s where Maryam Amiri excels.
Relishing Her Role
As principal and lead agent for Team Amiri at Redfin, Maryam is a trusted guide who relishes her role helping others find their way to their next home.
“In my realm of real estate, I am not simply a professional. I am an advocate, a confidante, and a guide. My unwavering commitment to helping my clients find their dream home or sell their current one for a more suitable option is what drives my passion for real estate,” Maryam explains.
“I am driven by my confidence and self-assurance, embracing challenges, viewing them as opportunities for growth, and my success is attributed to my strong relationships, market knowledge, and my exceptional sales skills. I truly love what I do, whether it is a complex sell-to-buy scenario or just helping one of my buyers get the home they want competing against multiple offers.”
Finding New Possibilities
Maryam earned her license in 2006, but her story began in the Middle East. She was born and raised in Iran. As she came of age, she graduated from a university there. In 2000, after getting married, Maryam had the chance to make her way to the United States.
“It was an exhilarating experience for me as I eagerly embraced the American way of life. I was determined to immerse myself in the culture and acquire as much knowledge as possible to pave the way for a successful and fulfilling life,” she remembers.
Like many who pursue a career in real estate, Maryam says her love of real estate was sparked by her own experience buying her own house. “Throughout the entire process, I relied on friends who were involved in the real estate and lending fields. However, I soon discovered that their motivations were not aligned with my best interests, resulting in a less than satisfactory experience,” Maryam says. “This unfavorable encounter served as an awakening, revealing the crucial need for real estate professionals who genuinely prioritize their clients’ well-being and deliver a positive, transparent journey.”
Sure Signs of Success
Maryam’s journey has created a remarkable level of success that has grown steadily since its start. With her partner and business manager, Chris Bistolas, Team Amiri has amassed over $850 million, representing around 900 transactions to date. As part of that, Maryam has deep gratitude for her team members. She and Chris are joined on the team by sales specialist Amir Amiri, who is Maryam’s brother, and customer support manager Megan Wilucky.
She is also thankful for the environment she works within at Redfin. “It’s a real estate company that is redefining the industry in favor of the consumer. Our focus on customer service and advocacy for our clients sets us apart from other companies and brokerages,” Maryam points out. “Redfin not only places a priority on promoting inclusivity and diversity, but it has also had a significant impact on my personal growth and development within the organization and within the real estate industry. I have been able to grow my business and help countless clients achieve their real estate goals under the Redfin umbrella.”
Family Time
Away from work, Maryam treasures time with her family, including her son, Daniel. They have a passion for traveling. “We are avid explorers, having ventured to more than 30 captivating countries and road tripped through the many landscapes of the United States,” Maryam says. “My passion for travel has also taken me on amazing adventures to exotic destinations embracing the beauty of the world.”
In her free time, Maryam also has a love for fashion and retail therapy. “From the chic streets of New York and the timeless elegance of Paris to the luxury meccas like South Coast Plaza and Fashion Island, I seek out the finest styles and trends from around the world. I’m also a big cinema enthusiast and enjoy a good movie in a diverse range of genres, as long as I have my popcorn too.”
Maryam also likes to get outdoors for adventurous activities such as hiking and kayaking. “I cherish the simple pleasures of life, and nothing beats a lazy day spent by the shimmering pool or on the sun-kissed sand of a breathtaking beach. This is my ultimate moment to unwind, recharge, and savor the beauty that surrounds me.”
Leading Forward by Giving Back
When it comes to giving back, Maryam donates to the UCI Health Diabetes Center. "I like aiding in their important work toward diabetes research and patient care,” she says. “I find fulfillment in participating in the Redfin Rise program, which aims to uplift communities in need. Also, Chris and I dedicate our time to conducting first-time buyer home-buying classes, empowering individuals with the knowledge and guidance necessary for a successful real estate transaction.”
As Maryam looks to the future, she dedicates herself completely to the needs of those around her. People who work with her and get to know her appreciate the way she invests in them and their goals … as their trusted guide.
“Team Amiri excels in building enduring relationships with our valued clients and it has earned us a reputation of being trusted advisors, friends for life, and an invaluable resource for all real estate needs,” Maryam says. “When you choose Team Amiri, you’re not just acquiring a home … you gain a lifelong partnership.”
“I make it a point to emphasize that my commitment extends beyond the transaction; I am there for them throughout their homeownership journey.”
