Maya Hyman‘s life has been a blend of professional dedication and personal interests, influenced by diverse places she’s called home. Raised in the running town of Eugene, Oregon and spending her summers at Jewish Summer Camps in California and New York she developed a love for nature and a deep sense of belonging.
Maya’s quest for knowledge (and a deap pull to the East Coast) led her to Washington, D.C., where she pursued her college education and further cultivated her passion for advocacy and delving into complexities.
Over the years, Maya has made her home in several vibrant cities, including San Francisco, Denver, and for over 25 years in the DMV with her current residence in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Each locale has contributed to her multifaceted perspective and enriched her desire to connect with people from diverse backgrounds.
After working in the corporate and then the nonprofit world, in real estate, Maya discovered her true calling – her profession for over a decade, that allows her to effect positive change by guiding people through the buying and selling of their homes. Her approach transcends mere transactions; she’s driven by the belief that the right home can ignite a better life and, ultimately, a better world.
Outside of her professional life, Maya’s interests span the spectrum from musical theater, movies, and reading design magazines, to a fascination with political and pop culture topics. She’s an enthusiastic participant in lively discussions on current events and is trying to read a biography every week. Maya also dedicates time to exploring a variety of engaging and silly podcasts.
Maya is a loving wife and mother to two children, Ellie (13) and Marc (11). She’s an active member of Adas Israel Congregation, the Somerset Elementary School Foundation, and cherishes moments spent close to the water whenever possible.
