St. Louis is a city of neighborhoods, and for Maryann Vitale Alles, home is where everything starts.

In this episode of The STL Bucket List Show, host Lucas Farrell sits down with Maryann, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Select Properties, to talk about growing up on The Hill, building a 500 agent company, and why values and culture matter just as much as sales volume.

From first time buyers and luxury homes to tornado recovery and hyper local neighborhood expertise, Maryann shares how her team helps families make one of the biggest decisions of their lives and why St. Louis is still one of the most affordable and underrated markets in the country.

We talk about:

• Growing up on The Hill and what home means to Maryann
• How she went from agent to CEO and co-founding Select Properties
• Building teams, mentoring agents, and creating micro leaders
• Why affordability, schools, and walkable neighborhoods set STL apart
• How agents support neighborhoods like Benton Park, Cottleville, Edwardsville, Kirkwood, Webster, and more
• Practical advice for first time homebuyers in today’s market
• The new Neighborhood Series partnership with STL Bucket List

If you love St. Louis, are thinking about buying or selling, or just want to understand our market a little better, this conversation will give you a new appreciation for the place we call home.
