Giving Back

My Mission

I’m a patriotic, proud American with a great work ethic but I could never imagine being a firefighter or police officer, or an EMT or a soldier. God Bless the first responders and soldiers who choose to serve our communities and country. God Bless their families, too, for sharing them with us, civilians!

Because I have the utmost respect for the people who are willing to put their lives on the line for the betterment of others, I’ve decided to make a donation to the charity of their choice, in their honor, as my way of saying, thank you! I also donate to The Tunnel to Towers Foundation monthly.

Below are the clients I have closed deals with and links to the charities they have requested be donated to in their honor.

When we first chose to sell our home we made the mistake of believing that in the current market we would be fine selling our home ourselves. How terribly wrong we soon found out we were. Very quickly we realized how ineffective this was. So when we decided to list with an agent choosing Mary was an easy decision to make. Thought we have known her as a friend for several years we felt confident she would also be a true professional. Mary beyond exceeded our hopes and made our end so simple for us. She worked tirelessly to communicate everything between us, the buyers agent, attorneys, inspectors, and every other conceivable party. We never felt out of the loop nor overwhelmed. Her ability to organize all of the process was astounding. We could not be happier with Mary and all of her team. Thank you so much for all of your hard work! We know how much sleep and family time you sacrifice on behalf of us and the rest of your customers.

$200 Donated in his honor to: The Police Unity Tour Chapter 37

Mary was very knowledgeable about all things that come with selling/buying a house. She knew how schools in the area were, was not afraid to tell us when something was wrong with the house that we as first time buyers may have not known about. Mary was also very flexible in going to different areas to go see houses as we had a wide area that we were looking into too. Mary is a great realtor and I would highly recommend her to anyone, including my friends and family.

It was a pleasure working with Mary, she was always receptive to my concerns. She explained every step that needed it, her resourcefulness shows how much she wants her clients to have the best experience possible no matter buying, selling or looking for someone to fill a vacancy on both sides of the coin. Mary is world class, top notch, glad to know her and will recommend her to whomever I encounter that can use her services!

Mary is the absolute best! She helped my fiancé and I buy our first house. She made the experience so easy and enjoyable, especially for first-time home-buyers like us. She gives you her honest opinion. She is quick to respond, always happy to help, very supportive and most importantly patient. Always willing to explain things to you and doesn’t mind repeating herself. She treats you like you are family. We would recommend Mary whole-heartedly to all of our friends and family.

Having Mary as my real estate agent was a blessing. She turned a difficult process into an easy process. She’s very knowledgeable, patient, professional, friendly and she’ll treat you like her own family to make sure you get the best experience and the home of your dreams. Mary is absolutely the best real estate agent by far and I will proudly refer her to friends and family especially first homebuyers.

Mary went above and beyond for us during our house hunting journey. She traveled over and over to show us different houses (even multiple times to view the same house). She advised us when making offers, and communicated every step of the buying process. When offers were denied, she continued to stay positive and reminded us to not give up. We found the house of our dreams and we couldn’t have done it without Mary. She was patient with us, and was always quick to answer emails, texts , etc . If you are looking for a realtor to help you every step of the way, Mary is the one for you!

A Wonderful Agent. We can’t speak highly enough of Mary, who was the agent for our recent home sale. Due to an out of state move into a home that underwent renovation, we listed our home during the beginning of the holiday season. Although we anticipated the market to be slow for that time of year, Mary was very proactive and we had an accepted offer within a couple of weeks. Mary is very patient, flexible and has a warm personality. She returned all of our numerous texts and/or phone calls in a very timely manner and was very reassuring during our conversations. We are very glad that Mary was with us during this process!

Excellent (5 Stars)! Mary guided me during this journey towards the successful sale of my property. Her professionalism, knowledge and compassion were critical in achieving my goal. She becomes a partner in your endeavor as it takes work and work is what Mary does exceptionally well. I personally would recommend her highly and certainly avail myself of her expertise in the future. Respectfully submitted, Victor

Best of the Best. Mary is a very kind and knowledgeable realtor. She walked us throughout the entire process of purchasing our first home. She was very informative and educated us regarding the dos and don’ts. She understood what we needed and delivered. Mary is very responsive and will treat you with priority. Purchasing a property is not easy, especially when it’s your first, but Mary made it all happen smoothly. We are grateful that we were able to work with her. We will definitely recommend her to anyone purchasing a property!

Mary went above and beyond to help us sell our home. Mary was incredibly helpful and supportive as we recently worked through the process of selling our home. She went out of her way to come up with ideas to gain foot traffic and helpful feedback that resulted in us selling our home in the timeframe we were hoping for. She is a great communicator and is extremely down to earth which made it feel like we were working with a long time friend vs a new connection. Working with Mary was a breath of fresh air and we would recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy their home.

Mary was amazing to work with! She goes above and beyond what is expected of a typical real estate agent to ensure you find your dream home. She not only helped us find the perfect home, but became a friend in the process. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, personable, and professional real estate agent, Mary is the one! – Shanna

My wife and I had the pleasure to work with Mary over the past year, she has been absolutely amazing. She goes above and beyond, taking us on walkthroughs of houses and having our backs throughout the home buying process. She makes you feel like family and I’m glad to not just say she was our realtor but she’s also a friend. I highly recommend anyone entering the housing market to reach out to Mary to ensure you’re in good hands. – Taylor
