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!

Maryalice was recommended to us by another one of her clients who told us we would not be disappointed. She certainly was correct. After a brief conversation I truly felt Maryalice got what we were looking for. I referenced a house I regretted not going for, and she recommended we see two houses in the area. We saw them and bought the second house within a week. It also should be noted, we had been looking in the area for the past two years. Her expertise in the Westfield area is unmatched. Maryalice was extremely informative, always available and guided us every step of the way from offer to closing. She genuinely cares and wants to make the right match for potential buyers. I couldn’t recommend her more highly! She continues to be helpful to us as we are settling into the area. I am so glad we connected with someone who was able to make the home buying process less stressful and so seamless.

INCREDIBLE! I love writing reviews, and I do not use that word lightly. Maryalice was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! She came highly recommended from my husband's family who live in town, and he grew up here. I, being from Miami, only knew what I did about Westfield through my husband's stories and coming to visit his family. Outside of that, I only lived in Brooklyn just before moving to Westfield. Well, it turned out, Maryalice used to live in the same neighborhood in Brooklyn! Before we even started the house hunting, we had already clicked! Maryalice has a way of just sitting back and listening. She quietly takes in what you say as you are walking around the listing sharing opinions with your partner, and has this way of really putting together exactly what it is you are looking for. This was my first home buying experience. You always think it’s going to be dreadful, exhausting and endless. All it took was 2 weekends of listening to my husband and I go back and forth about what we liked/disliked, and on our 3rd weekend she knew. She knew exactly the house to take us to and we LOVED it! Once we said yes, she made the house buying experience SO seamless. She made sure that we contacted who we needed to and were taken care of every step of the way. She recommended EVERYONE, and to this day, she still checks up on us and gives us recommendations of delicious places in town, especially Cuban being I miss my Abuela's home cooking! Maryalice is not in this to just hurry it along and make sales. She ensures that your experience every step of the way is as wonderful as possible and she won't stop until she knows YOU are happy. She even gifted us an adorable Westfield pillow that we have displayed in our built-in. Thank you Maryalice! We have been in our home now for almost 2 months and could not be happier.

No one knows real estate in Union County NJ better than Maryalice. She is a true resource and helped me in making my move as smooth as possible especially during these challenging times. She was a consummate professional and trusted her sound judgement at every step. Thank you Maryalice for your expertise and outstanding support. I would highly recommend -- you'll be in good hands!

Maryalice came highly recommended from family and we are so glad we listened! Coming from NYC we knew little about the neighborhood and buying process in NJ and Maryalice helped us the whole way through. She has also been very helpful with finding vendors for the things we need fixed. On the day we moved in she even surprised us with lunch which was very sweet during such an overwhelming time. Thank you for everything Maryalice!!!

I have had the pleasure of both buying and selling a home with Maryalice in the past 12 years. That I am a repeat client is a testament to her professionalism and deep knowledge of the local market. In addition, she has been the calm voice and steady hand behind both of my transactions. As everyone well knows, real estate transactions are stressful and emotional. Maryalice has a great way of helping to keep matters in perspective and minimize the painful parts of these transactions. She was always thoughtful, anticipating my needs and potential issues. I would highly recommend Maryalice Ryan.

We have now gone through two moving processes with Maryalice and have just had the most wonderful experience with her. She held our hands the whole time, sold our house quickly, and helped us find our dream home. She is super patient during what can be obviously stressful situations with moving in general. Highly highly recommend.
