Being a first time homebuyer, I needed someone who understood the market and could answer any questions. Mary has immense knowledge of the local market and has a large amount of connections within real estate. Her and the team she recommended were invaluable to getting me into a property that I was overjoyed to purchase. She was especially useful in my case, as I had travel right after an offer was put on a property. Mary went out of her way to help set me up with all necessary documents and ensure I was ready for closing when I returned from my trip. She will always be my first recommendation to anyone looking to purchase a new home.

We have bought two houses and sold one with Mary - would absolutely recommend, she’s ridiculously knowledgeable and experienced, also very calm when things seemed stressful (to me). Cannot recommend her highly enough!!!

Mary helped me sell our parents home. She is patient, thorough, and experienced. She was kind, professional, and compassionate at a difficult time for our family. I highly recommend her.

Mary is a top notch realtor! I see why she won so many awards in her field. We got her help with buying a house and then selling the same house several years later; she was fabulous both times.

I’ve been fortunate to have Mary Braatz as my agent on several occasions over the last 13 years, the most recent resulting in a condo sale in Downers Grove in May of this year. Mary’s years of experience were invaluable in this recent sale. Her feedback on painting, flooring & carpeting, I believe, ultimately made the difference in the sale and the pricing. She has an eye for detail, is a problem solver, and knows of companies to turn to when any number of services are required. If I’m in need of a real estate agent once again in the future, I have her number. She is a professional at what she does and brings years of experience along with her.

Mary is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and nice to work with. As first time home buyers, we truly appreciated her kindness and attention to detail. For anyone looking for a new home, I would highly recommend contacting Mary.

Mary was punctual and very kind. On top of each step. She knew how to handle each situation and gave us good advice. We hated to not see her anymore after the selling of our home. Mary always calls back when we needed her.

From the moment I met Mary, he knew I was in good hands. Warm, professional, on top of every detail. My home sale and closing could not have gone any smoother. Thanks Mary!

Mary is kind, considerate, knowledgable, and just a great person. She will go out of her way to get your house sold. We had moved out of state and had no idea it had been heavily raining by the house listed with Mary. The next day, she actually drove to our house to make sure everything was ok. Before we listed the house, Mary helped us prioritize our "to do" list that we made to get ready to sell. She was spot on! Our house sold in 12 hours with a much higher offer than list price. It was amazing. Few other realtors could produce those results! She held our hands the whole way through our across-state move. We would recommend her to everyone. Thank you , Mary.

We have used Mary twice to sell a home and both times she sold it in 4 days! She has many years of experience and gets the job done👍👍

Our experience with Mary was a very positive one. Looked for an agent with good reviews and knowledge and knew that Mary was the agent for us. Very prompt with responses to texts or emails and appreciated her feedback with the whole process.

Mary was a delight to work with! She is aggressive in her role and got us many showings and numerous offers quickly. With an ‘as is sale’, we were concerned that the house might not generate enough interest to sell. Mary’s guidance throughout the process and the fantastic photos and video presented our home well. Many showings led to offers. Mary knows the Downers Grove and western suburban market. We would highly recommend her!!!
