Mary Ellen has successfully and quickly sold two properties for me over the years. I am 90 years old and sometimes confused and distracted, but Mary Ellen was warm, pleasant, knowledgeable, always with a good sense of humor, and gently but firmly led me down the path I wanted to go. We were in touch daily. I considered her my best friend during this time. She even called me while she was on vacation. She sold my condo in Glastonbury quickly, and my 4-bedroom Colonial in Marlborough for my asking price within two months. My house was built in 1971 and is considered old in 2022. It had not had many updates. If a repair was needed, Mary Ellen knew exactly who to call, whether a roofer, someone to point the chimney, or someone to check that the electricity was up to date. She quickly returned my often frantic telephone calls and could always put me at ease. Mary Ellen was thorough in her suggestions as to how the house would be staged. She used the word “pristine,” and that scared me. How would I, at 89 years old, ever get it that way? But I followed her suggestions, and the house sold quickly. Without the feeling that I had Mary Ellen by my side at every step of the way, I would have been lost and confused. She is articulate, reassuring, and specific about all details. I had complete faith in her decisions and looked back at how smoothly we passed through many obstacles in the neglected Colonial, which sold for exactly the price I asked.
