We appreciated the help Mary provided, some of which was "over and above." She is prompt in answering questions and addressing concerns. The condo we wanted to sell was only on the market four days. We are thankful for that!

Mary was wonderful to work with as first-time buyers. She was always available to answer our questions, give advice, and willing to work around our schedule to visit properties. Given how insane the market is right now, I consider ourselves lucky to have found a house so quickly in our price range. That can easily be attributed to Mary's dilligence and willingness to bring us to properties for second walkthroughs. We would trust her in a heartbeat if we had to move again. Thanks so much, Mary!

Mary helped my husband and I buy our first home. She was extremely helpful, and very patient with us as first time buyers. She was great at explaining every step of the process, and was happy to pick up the phone whenever we needed something. She made us feel very safe, and she was always watching our backs. Whenever we had a question, she made sure we got the answer in a timely manner, even if she had to send multiple emails to get it for us. This a realtor you can count on! Thanks for everything, Mary!

Mary helped us see areas of our house that needed upgrading or replacing to help our house sell. She was always very professional. Our house sold in a very reasonable period of time and she got us the amount we were hoping for.

Mary gives you honest feedback and offers knowledge and experience about real estate market. She’s been helping me, my family and friends for past 20 years. Thank you Mary.

Mary was very helpful throughout the process, and was able to get a fair price for our family home in a reasonably quick time. I highly recommend her.

Mary is the real deal! She is an experienced, long time local agent who is patient, helpful and hard working. Mary has helped us on three different occasions over many years now. Mary helped us purchase our current home some time ago and more recently helped us in selling my mom's home. She also helped my wife several years back when she needed an appraiser during the administration of my late father-in-law's estate. We'll be calling on Mary again when we retire in a few years!

Mary was very cooperative and really took care of us. She handled everything nicely and our unit was quickly sold at our price. Highly recommend her!

Mary made buying our first home so easy! Mary was always available to answer our questions and to show us a house any time we asked for. She was very professional and made us feel very comfortable every step of the way. We didn't know much about buying a house, but she was informative and answered any questions we had about this process. Mary is a great realtor with whom we would definitely work with again in the future! Thank you Mary!!

I so enjoyed working with you and if it wasn't for you telling me "Let's just go and take a look at it." we wouldn't have the home we enjoy every day. We are happy here and can't imagine living anywhere else!

We strongly recommend Mary Braatz, whether you are a first-time buyer, a seasoned one, or a seller. She is honest, transparent, organized, and very professional. We were first time home buyers in the middle of COVID. It was a blessing to have Mary help us navigate home purchase. She had our best interests at heart and made sure we got the house we wanted without exceeding our budget. She was very tactful about pointed out where our expectations were unrealistic, where we needed to stand our ground. She was amazing in helping us find a middle ground with our differing tastes. The result is that we now have a home we both love, in a neighbourhood we wanted, and within our budget. What was even more amazing, was that once we had the house she made sure we knew all the places in Downers Grove that would interest us: parks, farms, running tracks, ice skating, the best place for gardening stuff. She made sure we had addresses of plumber, electrician, handyman, painter, gutter cleaner etc so that we would not face any difficulties once we moved in. Even now, she checks in on us. We could not recommend her more.

We are happy to highly recommend Mary Braatz. We lived in Downers Grove for 40 years and I saw real estate signs for Mary Braatz innumerable times. When it came time to sell our house, who was the first agent to come to mind? Mary Braatz, of course, and she lived up to her billing! She looked out for our best interests and kept us updated on all the details. When we needed licensed contractors for plumbing and electrical issues, she immediately provided us with referrals. She "went to bat" for us when we needed it and the closing was especially easy. It was a pleasure working with Mary.
