What My Clients Say
“Mary sold our home in Alamo in December, 2018. We had worked with her on a potential sale of that property a number of years earlier so were well acquainted with her thoroughness and professionalism. Our experience this time was identical. She helped us with all of the difficult problems associated with a relocation and was immediately available for the many questions that we had. I would not hesitate to recommend Mary to any prospective buyer or seller of homes in our local market. She made an otherwise trying experience as endurable as it was possible to make it!”
