We could not be happier with the job Mary performed in helping us sell our home. Both her pricing recommendation and the professional photography she used to market our home led to a very quick sale. She was extremely knowledgeable of the area, thereby setting a price that was competitive within our village and the buying market. Mary made herself available when we had questions, and she would check in to see how we were managing our packing for the move. From beginning to end, Mary made the process easy and understandable - our only regret is that by moving out of state, she can't help us find a new place to live! We would most definitely recommend Mary to anyone looking for a broker.

Mary was professional, knowledgeable, and was willing to assist in all aspects of selling my home. She was always responsive to my inquiries and I would recommend her highly.

Mary was extremely helpful through the entire process. She had all the contacts to help me update my home before listing and then to make any modifications as required by the contract. I had to close in less than 30 days and it wouldn't have happened without Mary. Mary also helped my find a home to rent on very short notice. She went above and beyond by being there for inspections, setting up cleaning services at the home I was selling while making sure my rental was available and ready for my move. In this market, you need a professional and Mary Braatz is that person!

Mary's expertise, guidance and service were exemplary. First, she visited with us months in advance to provide specific recommendations and formulate a plan. Then, with the Autumn selling window closing, she made every effort to get the house listed in a timely manner. Followed by her pricing guidance which was a bulls-eye, not too high to wait for an offer, not too low as we got immediate activity and she was spot-on with negotiated adjustments. Finally, and most importantly, her personal attention, listening, routine unsolicited follow-up and positive attitude, made the process enjoyable ---- I cannot believe I wrote that --- but it is true, we have sold/bought enough houses to oftentimes, dread the process. She made a real difference. Thank you Mary. Highly recommended. PS Advice: Trust her. She knows what she is doing and is good at it.

Mary's vast knowledge base & experience, coupled with her innovative marketing strategies made for a quick sale of our home with a smooth closing. It was a pleasure working with someone with integrity & easy accessability.

Mary is a very professional and ethical person who was "over the top" helpful to us as we sold our home and then bought another. She was helpful in giving us contacts to everyone from attorney's to contractors. Her even and pleasant mood and kind attitude was awesome to work with. We would recommend anyone to use her as their realtor!

Mary is an extremely knowledgeable real estate professional. She definitely knows the area and market well. She is extremely responsive and incredibly helpful. Definitely recommend, whether looking to buy or sell.

Mary helped with suggestions for making home most presentable and for pricing it correctly. Her on line MLS posting made the house look really good and we had a signed contract within four days. Rapid results are the best review of all!

I had to look at 3 different houses, each with their own issues before purchasing. This took some time and patience. Through this entire process Mary was extremely professional and always got back to me in a timely fashion. At the same time Mary was helping me buy a house, she was also helping me to sell a house. Again, here inevitable issues arose with the seller and Mary in her always professional way handled them. She did an excellent job when dealing with the buyer's lender and worked smoothly with my attorney. She is very knowledgable about her profession and she is truly an asset to any real estate firm. I would say that REMAX is lucky to have her on staff. I would highly recommend Mary if your are in the market to buy or sell a house.

Mary is a tremendous resource for anyone looking to buy a home in Downers Grove. She has lived in the area for many years and utilized her knowledge of the area to help us identify the ideal location for our family. Mary also has a great understanding of all phases of a transaction. We always felt we were in good hands despite a few obstacles that came up along the way, which Mary helped us to navigate. Thanks Mary!!

Mary was incredible; the best! She helped me sell my home and buy a condominum. Her professionalism and knowledge really made the difference. I needed a one or two referrals for work to be done related to my sell and she knew just the right people to help me. I'd definitely recommend Mary.
