A true jack of all trades with a natural gift for conversation, she has a way of making everyone she works with feel immediately at ease, whether it’s a nervous homeowner or a new business partner.

As Office Manager, Gladys is the operational heartbeat of 3 Step Home Sale, connecting the dots, keeping the wheels turning, and making sure no one ever feels lost in the process. When she’s not holding down the fort, you’ll find her discovering a new city, soaking up live music, or treating herself to a well-deserved dinner at somewhere fabulous. She lives for new experiences, new places, and new people, and that curiosity and warmth come through in every interaction she has.

Mari has built her career at the intersection of digital strategy and storytelling — helping businesses earn their place at the top of search results through smart, intentional content. She understands that behind every search query is a real person looking for answers, and she’s passionate about making sure they find the right ones. As Senior SEO Specialist at 3 Step Home Sale, she puts that belief into practice every day, driving organic growth by optimizing everything from page structure and keywords to content that genuinely connects with homeowners across DC, Maryland, and Virginia who are ready to sell.

When she’s not at work, you’ll find her deep in a novel, out in nature, or already planning her next trip. She’s always chasing the next adventure, whether that means hiking a new trail, saying yes to the unfamiliar, or simply trying something she’s never done before. But don’t let the thrill-seeker fool you; she’s just as happy wrapped in a blanket at home. Much like SEO, she knows that the best results come from balancing bold moves with patience.

Alvaro Gonzalez has a natural instinct for finding the story hidden inside the numbers: a sharp, strategically minded professional with the kind of striking personality that makes him impossible to forget.

As Portfolio Analyst at 3 Step Home Sale, Alvaro oversees the performance and composition of the company’s property portfolio, analyzing acquisitions, tracking asset performance, and providing the financial insight that helps the team make confident, well-informed investment decisions at every stage of the process.

When he’s not deep in the numbers, Alvaro is likely watching football or spending time with his daughter, his greatest source of motivation and the reason behind everything he works for. That same heart he brings to fatherhood is what makes him one of the most dependable people in the room.
