COSTA

PURPOSE
MISSION
Mariana Costa isn’t like anyone you’ve ever met. If you’ve seen her, you’ll remember her radiant presence. If you’ve worked with her, her bold spirit left a mark. Ask those who know her, and you’ll hear stories of her joy, passion, vision, and her gift for uniting people to do the seemingly impossible.
THE
BEGINNING
Born in Brazil, Mariana battled severe asthma as a child, spending months in the hospital fighting to breathe. As she grew older, her parents turned to music for healing, and by fourteen, Mariana won her first singing contest performing Hero by Mariah Carey. That spark lit her love for learning the English language and a hunger for possibility beyond all she had come to know. The moment awakened her and unlocked a fire within, a desire to dream beyond borders. Just two years later, her next chapter would begin.
CHOOSE TO BELIEVE
In 2001, Mariana followed her mother to the U.S. She landed on Cape Cod, where the lands were vast and ocean shores formed an island full of dreams, ready for Mariana to conquer. Eager to embrace a new culture, only 18 months after her arrival, Mariana faced a defining choice when her mother and her family decided to return home. Would Mariana leave with them, or stay and rise into her calling?
​
SECRET TO SUCCESS
DREAM International was born from that moment on, even if Mariana didn't know it yet. To her, a dream wasn't just a vision, it was fuel. It transformed her pain into her purpose. With $100 in her pocket and a heart full of hope, Mariana stayed alone, as she watched her family return to Brazil. She believed her dream could serve others and she proved she was right.

THE LEAP
OF FAITH
After her family departed, Mariana worked five jobs at once, cleaning homes, babysitting overnight shifts, opening a coffee shop at dawn, hostessing & waitressing. She fell in love with Cape Cod’s quiet beauty, and even more so, with the idea that she could build a life of her own. She felt that through service and contribution, one small step at a time, anything was possible!
ONE DAY CHANGED
​
EVERYTHING
Suddenly, one winter afternoon brought the moment that changed everything. While cleaning a home, Mariana saw a $38,000 check on the kitchen island, more than she’d earned that entire year. In that moment, she saw something magical unfolding: not just a possibility but a calling where freedom and growth were possible. Later that week, a close friend gave her the book on real estate fundamentals, and she took it as a sign that she was on the right path. In November 2005, Mariana achieved her goal and obtained her own license to sell real estate.
