What Our Clients Say

I called Mary when we wanted to list our house, as she had sold a house a few doors away from us. She answered right away and both she and her daughter Samantha came to our home within a few days time. They were both extremely professional and gave us a firm estimate of our home's value in the current market, actually at a little higher price than we had expected. Samantha is great at arranging for and taking photos and video. Mary received several offers within two weeks time and negotiated a fast contract and we closed just seven weeks after listing the house. This happened over the holidays, too. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in selling or buying.

Completely pleasurable experience working with Mary! She is on top of everything and every detail! Highly recommend working with her whether you are buying, selling, or renting and looking for property management! She is very knowledgable and will guide you along any of your real estate journeys. She was invaluable in selling and taking care of our rental property! Highly recommend!

We really have only a great experience with Mary and the staff. I couldn't recommend them more! They are always available for us when we need them and if sth is broken they immediately take care of it. They are very professional and are just great people. I appreciate the quality and work ethic they bring.
