Working with Mary Lou was an extremely positive experience. From the first time we met, it was apparent she was knowledgeable, professional, kind in her demeanor as well as a thoughtful listener. Mary Lou gave us her honest opinion on a variety of matters that arose and never pressured us to sign with her. After speaking with a few other realtors, I was confident she was the best match for us in terms of listing my mom's home. From the time we signed with her up until the closing Mary Lou was with us each step of the way. The house we were selling was in a state of disrepair and I was at a loss with how we should proceed. Mary Lou brought in a professional who helped provide us with an understanding of the various repairs needed to update the home properly. After a few conversations with her we eventually decided to sell the house "as is". Mary Lou actively marketed the house and we received an offer in less time than we had imagined. The process of selling up until the closing was seamless and netted my mom more money than we had expected. I am confident the reason we sold the house as quickly as we did was due to Mary Lou's vast real estate experience and the fact that she truly represented our interests throughout the process. With all this being said, I would highly recommend Mary Lou to anyone who is looking to have a kind and hard working broker advocate on their behalf.

Mary was very upfront and honest about everything and was there no matter what if I had a question

This review has been long overdue. I worked with Mary Lou in 2020 to help sell my mom's house after she passed. Mary Lou was a true pleasure to work with and quite the real estate professional. She was very patient during our estate family infighting and when the time finally came to sell the property, she came prepared and ready to make it happen. Thank you Mary Lou for everything! All the best. Jim

My brother was in charge of identifying/hiring Realtors to sell the condo that had belonged to my parents since the building opened. During the initial effects of the pandemic, potential buyers were minimal. However, Mary Lou was hired after 1 yr. & provided direction, ideas, and was equipped with strategies that created a welcoming large, fresh condo appearance to the potential buyers. Mary Lou's knowledge & expertise, seeking & finding needed information, & ensuring all be informed, while handling potential buyer's queries were just a part of her professional success. Job well done!! v burak
