After Marial Maher graduated Eckerd College (2008) with a curated degree in Communications & Visual Art, Marial moved to New York City to pursue a creative career, which evolved into working in the music industry. During this time, skills in music marketing, content creation, graphic design, photography and even songwriting developed. Passionate about seaside living, Marial moved back to her hometown of Newport, Rhode Island in 2013, where she was encouraged by her friends and family to start her own branding & marketing company called Visual Manor; a service to help build brands people love visually and socially. Within the 6 months of starting Visual Manor, Marial was hired by various clients, including a small boutique real estate agency and took position as marketing director, managing a small team. This is when Marial’s interest in the real estate industry was sparked. In 2017, Marial was hired as the New England Regional Marketing Coordinator for Movement Mortgage, one of the fastest growing lenders in the United States. She offers support in social media, marketing, content creation, and personal branding. Marial’s objective was to make sure agents & loan offers had the tools & education to compete and win in the digital real estate shift. It wasn’t until a long self-reflecting car ride home Marial realized, “Why am I not in sales?” With seven years of real estate marketing experience, it was time to take that strength and incorporate it into her own sales tactics as a licensed RE/MAX agent. Within the first few months, Marial had her first million dollar listing in Newport, Rhode Island -- all while balancing the marketing efforts for the Fitzpatrick Team. In Marial's free time, she continues to build her branding, marketing and photography portfolio. She enjoys yoga, running, skiing, surfing and spending time with her two Labrador retrievers, Splinter and Shredder. She makes valiant effort in interior design -- as she renovates her home in Rhode Island.
