Mary is simply a market savvy professional who gives 100% of her expertise to your individual situation. We used Mary to sell our Tuscan Drive house, which was our second collaboration with her and speaks volumes about how good we felt about her abilities. She sold our house at full value immediately following the Paradise Fire in 2018, which was simply phenomenal. In a semi-burned out neighborhood, she consummated a very difficult sale. Couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Mary made my move to Chico a real pleasure. Without Mary’s passion and knowledge of the Chico area I’d probably still be looking for a place to call home. A stickler for detail with thorough follow up and punctuality Mary made a ten day escrowed a breeze. I thank my lucky stars I found her.

My parents lost their home of 35 years to the Paradise Campfire. The task was overwhelming and incredibly competitive to find a new home to purchase. Mary McGowan took charge and rapidly found a home for them on California Park Lake. They were told that it was near to impossible to find one of these properties. Mary had everything wrapped up in record time and my parents were settled and enjoying the wonderful wildlife on the lake. We are so grateful for Mary’s professionalism and dynamic work ethic!

Most recently was our second selling experience with Mary. She understands the local market, sets the right expectations and prepares you to get the ideal offer. She is the best!

Mary was extremely helpful during a very difficult time for our family following the Campfire. Once the Teagarden home was chosen to make an offer on, her expertise in the negotiation process save us thousands of dollars at a time when the market seemed totally out of control. We’ve referred her to our family and friends knowing they will be completely satisfied. Mary is a true professional and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Mary was tantamount in helping my family sell my brother’s house after his passing. This very stressful time was made easier by Mary’s knowledge and helpfulness. She was always professional and available for any questions or problems that arose. Her knowledge about the local market and what price to ask helped us receive over asking price! We were very happy and fortunate to have her as our realtor!!

We thought we'd run into some challenges buying a home remotely but Mary has been a phenomenal partner in this experience! Her expertise, willingness to cover for us when we couldn't be there in person, and flexibility in her schedule allowed us to streamline the entire process and we even closed a day ahead of schedule! She is incredibly knowledgeable and a clear expert in her field. There were many situations that came up during the process of buying a house that normally would've been stressful and difficult to navigate but were completely painless with Mary. We greatly appreciated her ability to communicate quickly and effectively through phone, email, text, etc, especially when we were almost fully remote the entire time and through a pandemic. Since we were buying remote, it was key for us to get early access to houses in such a competitive market and Mary delivered right away. Within a week of working with her, we learned about a house that was going to be on the market soon, scheduled a tour and had an accepted offer. She was so patient with our endless questions with regard to the entire process, including how best to frame the offer, details on the ins and outs on inspections, and understanding the full escrow process. Mary and her fantastic team ensured that all parties involved in the entire process delivered in a timely manner. She has a wealth of contacts from her experience across all different industries and even when she didn't, she found them! She made great recommedations throughout the entire process and we fully trusted that she had our best interest at heart when making decisions.  Mary is kind, professional and fun. She was even willing go the extra mile and participate in a surprise reveal of the house to our family! We truly believe we would not have been able to buy our house with such ease without her. It was a complete pleasure working with her and I would highly recommend her to everyone!

My wife and I have come to Mary for buying and selling houses, so far we've bought and sold three and are in our fourth house and have always used Mary's expertise in the transactions. She is diligent and resourceful, and always has our best interests in mind during these big financial deals. I highly recommend her for all she's done, and even though I say we are done with the buying and selling, you never know what's going to happen in the future. What I do know is this, if we decide to sell this house and purchase another, we will go back to Mary for help. I have recommended her to my friends and will continue to do so. Mary will always be our realtor of choice.
