Born and raised in South Korea, Maria Merritt graduated from Dong-A University in Busan, South Korea with bachelor’s degrees in education and English. She started her career as a reporter and became an anchor at MBC, a major Korean radio and television broadcast station, and then became a middle school teacher in Busan. In 1994, she came to Atlanta to further her studies in English and Communication and met her husband, James Merritt. They have since lived in the metro-Atlanta area with their two sons. Maria also has experience working at local Korean radio and television stations.

As an active citizen of the community, she has been a member of the Korean Martyrs Catholic Church in Doraville, where she has served since 1997 as a Sunday school teacher and has also assisted minority families with mentally challenged children at schools and other organizations through the nonprofit organization Parent to Parent of Georgia and GCDD. In her free time, Maria enjoys interior design, reading, essay writing and cooking.

Regardless of price point or area, at the heart of Jungmi’s passion is a true desire for her clients to have their home be a special place to rest and restore the mind as well as the body in peace and safety. She desires everyone to find their dream home where this could happen, and where the possibilities of happy memories are endless, even in the ordinary day-to-day. She believes listening to the desires and needs of clients through clear communication is one of the ways she will be able to help her clients make this happen, as well as from insight through her own experiences buying, selling and owning homes. She hopes to be a part of many journeys where others find their own place, and she is committed to making the experience as positive as possible.
