About Maridel

Maridel Perlas – Coldwell Banker Realty

Maridel Perlas, a Realtor® with Coldwell Banker Realty, brings over three decades of experience, dedication, and trusted service to the real estate industry. Born and raised in the Philippines, Maridel began her professional career in banking, where she developed strong financial expertise through extensive training from management trainee to executive officer. In this role, she handled complex financial transactions for both individual and corporate clients, building a solid foundation in financial analysis, professionalism, and client service.

After relocating to the United States in 1984, Maridel continued working in the financial industry before discovering her passion for real estate in 1986. She later took time to focus on raising her children and returned to school to study real estate in 1995. Maridel earned her California real estate license in February 1996 and has been serving clients full-time ever since.

Today, with more than 30 years of experience in real estate, Maridel has built a highly successful business based on hard work, integrity, and long-lasting client relationships. Her background in banking instilled in her the importance of attention to detail, strong communication, and consistent follow-through—qualities that benefit both buyers and sellers throughout every stage of a real estate transaction.

Maridel believes that trust, transparency, and communication are the foundation of every successful real estate experience, and she demonstrates these values in every interaction with her clients. Her goal is always to guide clients confidently through the buying or selling process while helping them achieve the best possible outcome.

Throughout her career, Maridel has received numerous awards and recognitions, including Top Producer, Realtor of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, Leadership Awards (2012 and 2014), and the Cesar Chavez Lifetime Achievement Award for Community Service.

Her commitment to leadership and community involvement is equally strong. Maridel has served on the Board of Directors for the California Association of Realtors, Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Santa Rosa, and California Human Development. She has also been the Festival Director for St. Rose Church in Santa Rosa since 1999, demonstrating her longstanding dedication to the community she serves.

In 2018, Maridel became a Lillian Too Certified Feng Shui Master Practitioner, offering clients additional insight on how home design and energy can positively influence a property’s appeal and livability.

Deeply involved in the Filipino community and respected throughout Sonoma County, Maridel combines experience, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients. Her many achievements, community contributions, and decades of industry expertise continue to drive her success and make her a trusted advisor for buyers and sellers alike.

TESTIMONIALS:

I cannot recommend Maridel Perlas enough! They were so kind to us but also fierce when it came time to put in an offer. Always available on weekends to view multiple homes. We are very happy in our new and first home. Truly a stand out realtor that you should reach out to if you are looking to buy a home.         ~ David and Synthia C.

Maridel helped us sell our rental far more quickly than I thought we would be able to. She handled the current tenants very well and was able to get the entire transaction done much more smoothly than I expected. I knew she was good, but I didn't know she was this good.
