"I am grateful to Mara for her hard work and dedication in making the process of buying and selling a seamless and enjoyable experience. She helped me secure an off-market deal, getting me my dream home at a fantastic price! Additionally, she aided me in selling my West Seattle residence, which I had lived in for over 30 years. It was challenging for me to let go of, but she was sensitive to my needs. Not only did she meet them, but she exceeded them and made it easy for me to let go of the home. Mara Haveson is undoubtedly one of the best real estate brokers out there. If you are looking for a smart, savvy, and professional broker in the industry, she is the one to go for." -Wendy Hoang

"Mara is extremely knowledgeable about Seattle real estate and gives her clients 100%. Mara helped us to purchase our first home recently. Her energy and enthusiasm were just right for us, and she very quickly grasped what we liked and disliked and helped us to be as efficient as possible in the process. As first time buyers, she brought a great balance of educating us without being overbearing or condescending (which was an issue with some of the other realtors we had met). We will definitely be repeat customers if we ever decide to sell our home!"-Morgan Cesa

★★★★★
"Mara is so knowledgeable and thorough. She answers all questions or finds answers for you.

She is very professional and amazing It was a wonderful experience for us. 5 STARS!"-Rena Haveson

★★★★★
"We recently worked with Mara on the sale of our West Seattle home, and we had a wonderful experience. From our first meeting, it was clear that Mara was knowledgeable about the market and committed to working with us to getting our home ready to hit the market under the best circumstances. Mara provided solid advice regarding pricing our home and how to manage offers. We moved out of state before our house hit the market. Mara provided an invaluable service in making all of the arrangements to prepare our house to hit the market, and she set our house up to show beautifully. We could not have asked for a better partner in getting our house sold! We strongly recommend Mara."-Katie McClellan

★★★★★
"Mara is THE BEST! We have been working with her for almost 10 years, and this is the second time we have purchased a home with her. Both times we have been buying from out of state, and the only reason we are able to do this with our peace of mind intact is because we trust her implicitly. There are not enough words to describe how grateful we are for her professionalism, expertise, and compassion. Highly recommend Mara and her team at Compass."-Rhonda Hunter

Mara also handled the selling of our old house, going above and beyond throughout the process. She was always available to answer questions and took great care to keep the stress off us. With all of Mara's experience and being a truly good human, you won't find anyone better to work with!"-Tiffany Spatafore

"Mara has been our agent for both purchasing and selling. To put it best, she is THE person you want in your corner. She is skilled, experienced, knowledgeable, diligent, trustworthy, and attentive. The level of communication in which she interacts is inspiring, to say the least. With the support of her team and her contacts, Mara has countless resources to help support you in any situation you walk into throughout the buying or selling experience. If you are looking for someone who will work with you, put in the work for you, fight for you, guide you, teach you, comfort you, and put a fire under your rear when you need her to, Mara is definitely your person. As far as the final results, I will mention that we bought under and sold over. She also listed and sold our house in less than a month. Thank you, Mara and Team. You are the best!"-Adam Worth

Her professional network in the Seattle market was also a great benefit—we were able to use her as a resource as we looked into making updates to the home. Thanks, Mara!"-Suzanne Edelberg

"I am so grateful to Mara for her incredible integrity and professionalism. Mara helped me to polish up my dream home of 30 years, and market it so I could downsize. Mara knew the market so well and laid my concerns for a falling market to rest. The staging, the pictures, and the video marketing, were stunning! She timed it perfectly and....within days of listing my home she had gotten multiple offers. I got well OVER asking, ALL cash, NO contingencies, NO inspections!!! Mara is my agent for life! She's out there looking for my new dream home. I can't wait!"-Marsha Lovely
