I cannot recommend Mary Braatz highly enough! From the very beginning, she took the time to truly understand what I was looking for in a home and helped me navigate the entire process with expertise and care. Not only did she find the perfect home for me, but they also went above and beyond by educating me on various financial options that allowed me to make a smart purchase while avoiding tax penalties. Her knowledge, patience, and dedication made what could have been a stressful experience into an exciting and seamless journey. If you’re looking for a realtor who is not only skilled but also genuinely invested in your success, Mary Braatz is the one to trust!

We chose Mary because of the work she had done to research the property value and the approach she took to pricing and marketing. Her knowledge and experience were helpful tools, and she worked hard to get us the best price, which was a cash offer for slightly more than the asking price. The house sold quickly and closed within a few weeks of our first meeting with Mary. We were very pleased with her work on our behalf.

From the very beginning, we knew Mary was our choice to handle our house sale. She came highly recommended, as she handled a relative's house sale. Mary is very knowledgeable about the Downers Grove market from her years of experience. She set a reasonable price, and provided valuable advice as she led us through the selling process. We will recommend to to everyone we know. Thanks so much, Mary.

Mary was super nice, accurate and knowledgeable on all aspect of selling my house. Highly recommend! Mary, thank you for all your help.

Very professional, accurate market analysis and presentation of the house. Mary communicated very well from start to finish. The house sold sooner than I thought it would, for the right price. I highly recommend Mary!

From our initial meeting with Mary we were impressed with her professionalism and knowledge. Mary came prepared with comps in the area, did not push us into updating or remodeling our home with her suggestions in order to get a sale. By the conclusion of our first meeting we knew what price she would list our house at and a timeline to accomplish a successful sale. Mary sold our house in four days! We would highly recommend Mary and we actually have referred her to some friends.

Mary knows the market very well. She always was professional with us and our questions about the houses we saw. I know at times it was hard since we lost a lot of bids. But in the end I truly believe we got the perfect house. Thank you Mary for working with us it truly was an amazing experience. I will highly recommend her to any future home buyer.

I was very impressed by Mary’s knowledge of the community and of the current residential real estate market in the town. Her experience as obvious and she offered me options about showings, advertising, inclusions and exclusions. Mary listened carefully to my preferences and followed through on everything she promised. The house sold quickly at asking price. My selling experience with Mary Braatz as my realtor was pleasant and successful.


Mary Braatz was a pleasure to work with. Her service throughout the process was fantastic. The listing pictures turned out so good that the condo sold in days for full price!

Mary is a competent professional, helpful, patient and no hype. Mary has helped with buy and sell transactions over the past 30 years.
