"Mary Macaluso did an excellent job helping me rent one of my rentals. I am a landlord and own 6 rentals and in process of buying additional home. I've worked with many agents over the years and Mary is one of the best I've worked with. We had updates going on at rental and had aggressive schedule and Mary jumped right in and set up showings up and did an excellent presentation. We worked well together and I am a tough landlord, but Mary's common sense great professional experience made the process move along well and showing went well and house was rented in about two weeks which is impressive. Looking to sell a few rentals in the near future and I will use Mary on those sales."

"Mary was able to provide professional and extensive knowledge of the market that helped us secure our first home with all our needs. Throughout our open houses, and appointments, every other real estate agent made comments about Mary’s great work ethic and performance. She is well respected by all other agents and firms, proving she can go the extra step to get a deal DONE. Mary was able to introduce us to Home inspectors, attorneys, handymen, etc. that made every step of the usual gruesome home purchasing process easier. I highly recommend reaching out to Mary for your next home purchase or sale. I would personally never let friends or family go to anyone else but Mary"
