Testimonials:
"No challenge is too big for Mary Lynn. Her market expertise, unparalleled attention to detail, and deep network delivered what seemed impossible in just one week. She meticulously prepared our home, listed it at the perfect price, and ensured we were under contract with multiple offers over asking. A positive, profitable process from beginning to end and we owe it all to Mary Lynn."

"Selling the beloved house we had lived in for fifty-one years was going to be one of the hardest things we've ever had to do. However, having Mary Lynn White as our real estate agent made all the difference. She had come highly recommended to us by a friend who had used her services and adored her, and after we interviewed her (she was one of three agents we interviewed), it was clear she was the right one for us. First of all, she loved and appreciated our house. Secondly, she was clear and straightforward in all her ideas about how and when to sell it. Every step of the way, from the moment we agreed to work together through settlement, she was accommodating, full of helpful suggestions, willing and eager to do whatever had to be done, and--this is not unimportant--delightful to be with. We would recommend Mary Lynn--gracious, tactful, and really good at her work--to anyone who wants to sell a house."

"Thank you for your wonderful work selling our house. I will never forget how you made it all so stress-free when I was hundreds of miles away. You truly are a miracle worker. I will let anyone I know what a dream you are!"

"This is the fourth house we've entrusted to Mary Lynn. Regardless of size and price, she treats our homes with the same level of attention, professionalism, and passion. Tom and I couldn't imagine buying or selling without Mary Lynn."

"Mary Lynn White is the consummate professional and the most effective realtor I have seen. She has guided me through 11 home purchases or sales over 20 years. Mary Lynn does her homework regarding comparables and purchase prices. For sales, she stages in a highly effective way. For purchases, she understands market conditions and expertly guides the bid structure/process. In addition, Mary Lynn is very personable and easy to work with. In my view, one could not find a better agent."

"I recently sold my home and knew I wanted to use Mary Lynn as my agent. I watched as she successfully staged and marketed five homes in my neighborhood, all getting multiple offers above similar sold homes. I was overwhelmed with the thought of getting rid of household items accumulated over the years. Mary Lynn put together a plan with a list of resources (organizers, contractors, donation pickups, etc.) that enabled me to accomplish everything quickly and efficiently. We staged my home with her guidance, and sure enough, the house sold over asking. She is the consummate professional, and I have recommended her to several friends who felt exactly the same way."
- Diane S.
"She provided exceptional service and allowed me to actually enjoy the selling process. She and her team covered all the bases, including preparing the house for the market and informing us of her many strategies. I would recommend her without any hesitation. She was the best!"

"Rochelle, I wanted to express my thanks to you and Mary Lynn White for the wonderful work you did selling my current house and assisting in purchasing my new cooperative unit. Mary Lynn has been a great support for me during this whole process. I didn't even know if anyone would want to buy my house, considering that the house next door was to be torn down and an enormous new house built in its place over the next year or so. But Mary Lynn persevered and gave me hope. She brought in a stager to stage my house for sale. She brought in a yard person to spruce up the yard. She brought in window washers for the windows and skylights. In the end, my house looked like one that should be a TV show like the Property Brothers. And then, during the open house, she spent four days, Friday through Monday, showing potential buyers my house. By Monday afternoon, we had three offers. It was a miracle. And, the miracle continued. The next day, by luck, I found a cooperative unit for sale nearby. I offered to buy it a week later, and Mary Lynn immediately put together a sales contract for me and the seller (who was not represented by an agent). It was all a very smooth transition, including her assistance with the closing on both properties. And did I mention that she brought in an interior designer to help me choose the new paint colors for my new apartment? It will be beautiful. And she recommended a painter to me. Mary Lynn is one-stop shopping for all of one's real estate needs. I think she is great. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a Real Estate Agent. Thanks again to you both."
