Maryalice Ryan

Maryalice is the most pleasant and confidence-inspiring part of any real estate transaction. From search to purchase – which in this COVID-era is especially stressful, cut-throat, and competitive – she is a consummate professional, with a kind, patient and maternal approach to guiding her clients through this complicated and often opaque process. Maryalice showed my wife and I more than thirty homes around Summit, Chatham, Madison, and Short Hills during the summer and fall of 2020. The market was difficult, but Maryalice helped us to understand the options, and weed our properties (and save time) during the search. It wasn't until we discovered Bernardsville – a picturesque, pastoral community a little over an hour outside of NYC – that we found our dream home. Maryalice connected with local experts and learned about the community quickly, so as to provide us with the most relevant advice. Ultimately, we couldn't be happier with our little farmhouse in "horse country", and are grateful Maryalice was there to shepherd us over a few speed bumps along the way. We would, and have, recommend her to anyone and consider ourselves lucky to have found her.

My husband & I recently worked with Maryalice to purchase our home in Scotch Plains, NJ. Due to COVID the properties available on the market had been limited and the competition was intense. Maryalice was incredibly patient and helped guide us as we searched for the perfect home. She is extremely knowledgeable of the Scotch Plains/Westfield area and due to her contacts we were able to find an exclusive property where we made an aggressive offer with her guidance and closed quickly. Throughout the process she was incredibly helpful aiding us in all the steps to prepare for closing and keeping us on our timeline while managing requests between us and the seller. She has continued to stay in touch post-sale to follow up and has made herself readily available to us at any moment which truly speaks to her character and work ethic. We are incredibly thankful that we worked with Maryalice during this process and would suggest her to anyone searching in the area.

Maryalice was absolutely fantastic through the buying process. She was responsive, thorough, knowledgeable, and supportive. We were coming from out of town to purchase and therefore tried to consolidate the process as much as possible and Maryalice was such a supportive and helpful presence through every step. In particular, helping us understand there different neighborhoods and the potential pros and cons of each site. Through the closing process she was fantastic at navigating pitfalls, tradesmen, and keeping everything to task. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone

Maryalice's local knowledge and years of experience gave us great confidence. We moved from out of the area and relied on her expertise and judgement. She didn't let us down. Found the ideal home and MA helped in our negotiation strategy which resulted in a successful negotiation among multiple offers on the home during a pandemic. Couldn't have done it without her.

We had a wonderful experience working with Maryalice, she is a true expert in Westfield/Union county real estate. When my fiancé and I decided to purchase our first home together, deciding to move from Jersey City to Westfield in the midst of a pandemic and in a sellers market, we were faced with many challenges. After a few unsuccessful offers with other agents, we started working with Maryalice and immediately knew we had found a true professional. She made every effort to explain the home buying process thoroughly and to understand our wants and needs. She was extremely accessible, responsive and knowledgeable, and made sure to only share information and homes that fit our criteria, which we appreciated! She knows the market and knows how to advise her clients to make their best offer possible; we would not have been able to navigate our way through without her. She turned a stressful experience into an enjoyable one! From the time our offer was accepted to the day we closed (and even after closing), Maryalice took customer service to the next level, sharing local recommendations and hotspots, updating us on the progress of the transaction, giving us a sweet housewarming gift and following up after closing. We are so thankful to have worked with Maryalice, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and would love to work with her in the future and would highly recommend!

My Wife, Sarah and I have had the honor of working with Maryalice Ryan over the past 6 years. From home #1 in Scotch Plains, to building our Dream Home at 440 Roanoke and now on to building our Forever Home across town, she has always focused on Client First. There are so many choices when it comes to brokers in town and many in her CB office who have credentials and statistics that are overwhelmingly positive, but there is no other agent across the country that rivals her Client First Focus. She’s an amazing asset to the Westfield community and most importantly to the real estate industry. If you need someone to get it done and done right, Maryalice is your choice. She’s Client First Focused!
