Who We Are

About Cristian Maffione

Cristian Maffione, the Broker Owner and founder, began his journey as a Team Leader at RE/MAX in 2020. Since then, he has consistently maintained excellence within this prestigious brand, RE/MAX. In 2022, he opened the RE/MAX Paradise franchise and, thanks to him and his team of expert agents, in just 18 months it became the number 1 franchise in the entire tourist area of the eastern Dominican Republic.

On January 15, 2024, he decided to open another office, better located and more focused on becoming number 1 specifically in the most sought-after areas of Bávaro, Punta Cana, and Bayahibe Dominicus. This is how RE/MAX Lifestyle Punta Cana was born, and together with RE/MAX Bayside Bayahibe, they mark a turning point in the presence of RE/MAX in the country. Today, we make a significant difference in the market offering.

We provide the best pre-construction projects and resale properties throughout the tourist area, in terms of location, quality, price, and profitability. Our legal department ensures the security and stability of investments for all our clients. We have also specialized in advising and developing real estate projects from their inception, thus creating a completely unique and original personal brand.

Since May 2025, Cristian decided to move to West Estepona on the Costa del Sol, bringing his experience and knowledge to the area.

RE/MAX Coast II – Real Estate Agent

A real estate agent grounded in transparency, ethics, and trust. I help my clients find not just a property, but the space where they truly want to live or invest.

Sandra Guevara Roa

RE/MAX Coast II – Real Estate Agent

As a real estate advisor, I guide clients in making strategic, secure, and profitable long-term decisions. I combine a wealth-building perspective, legal security, and a human-centered approach, enabling you to invest with confidence or find your ideal home—all while enjoying peace of mind and the certainty of building a solid, prosperous asset.

Alex Steshenko

RE/MAX Coast II – Real Estate Agent

With a degree in Civil Engineering and an MBA from a prestigious U.S. institution, I bring a strong analytical foundation and a strategic business mindset to everything I do. My previous career in the banking industry, where I accumulated more than 20 years of experience, allowed me to specialize in managing complex financial operations, evaluating assets, and building long-lasting client relationships, skills that naturally translate into the real estate world.

After making the Costa del Sol my home, I developed a true passion for helping clients find the perfect property in one of Europe’s most exclusive and sought-after destinations. Whether you are searching for your dream home under the Andalusian sun or looking to sell your property at the best possible market value, I offer a service defined by professionalism, in-depth market knowledge, and meticulous attention to detail.

When I’m not helping clients achieve their real estate goals, I’m most likely training for my next Ironman, a discipline that perfectly reflects the values I bring to both my personal and professional life: dedication, consistency, and continuous self-improvement. That same commitment and determination are present in every client relationship and every real estate transaction I undertake.

Judit Anita Szabo

RE/MAX Coast II – Real Estate Agent

Judit brings an analytical yet client-centred method to home buying. With a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and training in Data Analytics and Project Management, she turns complex decisions into clear, data-driven comparisons. After 8 years living on the Andalusian coast and meeting highly professional people, she understands what people most value — great schools for future generations, excellent restaurants with quality service, 365 days of sunshine, and quiet neighbourhoods to rest. Her background as a tutor and nanny built a foundation of trust and clear commitment—so you receive genuine care and a laser-focused search strategy for finding your dream home.

About Valerie Nuyttens

Originally from Belgium, I have built a strong professional background in customer relations, legal environments, and real estate. After more than 15 years working in client management and project leadership within the notarial and media sectors, I followed my passion and transitioned into real estate upon moving to Spain.

For the past one and a half years, I’ve been living and working in Estepona — a place I now proudly call home. As a real estate agent at RE/MAX, I guide both buyers and sellers through the entire process with professionalism, empathy, and a commitment to excellence.

Beyond work, I’m passionate about community involvement and volunteer at the ADANA animal shelter in Estepona, where I adopted my beloved dog, Asha. I enjoy reading, long walks by the sea, and spending quality time with my family — my partner Christopher and my stepdaughter Chiara.
