Maureen Mason

Maureen helped us buy a house in Pacific Grove in mid 2010. Her local insight and negotiating strategy got the deal done. We were most impressed by her communication with the seller. At each gate in the negotiation, she wrote the sellers a letter detailing where things stood, the pro's of our offer, and the market conditions for selling the house at a different price. The letter was thoughtful and professional and helped the sellers keep cool heads and, ultimately, accept our offer. In addition, she was excellent at maintaining the momentum of the deal, making sure it moved along at the right pace. She seems to have an internal clock that tells her what to do and when to do it. Her help continued after the sale, as she connected us with a contractor and property manager. Her contacts have been as good as she is. I recommend her without qualification.

Maureen has been our agent in the purchase of two homes on the Monterey Peninsula in 2008 and 2009. Her service was exceptional on both occasions. She is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market on the Monterey Peninsula and is well acquainted with the various unique neighborhoods. Her patience in working with us until we narrowed in on what we really wanted was appreciated. She was thorough in regard to all her responsibilities and tenacious in looking out for our best interests. Her honesty, straight forward approach and sense of humor were refreshing.
