About Mary

As a native Madisonian, I know the city well. I've lived or worked in each direction, and graduated from UW-Madison. My husband and I now call the Town of Middleton home.

I started out in real estate in 2007 after years as a small business owner and teacher. Not an expected course, but after a few years, things clicked. I love that every day is different. My strength is problem solving, staying calm and being organized. My daughter Maddie joined me in 2016. We're a good team as we really do understand the needs of both young buyers and sellers along with those looking to downsize and simplify their lives. Our business is mostly referral, which speaks to the way we take care of our clients.

Home sales have a lot of moving parts. And tight inventories have the process even more challenging. Our years of experience and common sensed approach, almost always, keep things running smoothly. We are happy to meet for a chat, answer questions, or plan with you for a near or far-off move. Love to help in any way we can.

"I expect a lot from the professionals I work with, and Mary and Maddie never let me down."

★★★★★
"Mary was so wonderful! We would happily recommend Mary to any friend, or stranger! She was very responsive and got us to see every house we wanted to. She was very patient and if she didn't know something she would find out that day (sometimes within minutes of the question). Our little girls loved seeing Mary and she was great at understanding what we needed as a family. She gave great advice in both buying our new home and selling our old home.”

★★★★★
"Mary is amazing to work with. She is so knowledgeable and provides honest straightforward advice. She knows what needs to be done to create a successful offer in this crazy market. Highly recommend and will use her again in the future for any transactions.”

★★★★★
"I have used Mary in two real estate sales and both times she walked me through it and it went smoothly . My daughter bought her first condominium with Mary’s help. My sister-in-law listed a house with Mary that hadn’t sold in two years and Mary sold it in a month. If I was looking for or selling a home in Dane County I wouldn’t use anyone else. I found Mary to be honest, dependable, and she has integrity.”

★★★★★
"Mary and Maddie are both amazing to work with. They've been so on top of finding available houses with the right features and scheduling showings immediately. They're highly responsive, easy to talk to, and full of good advice. It was a joy to work with them.”

★★★★★
"I really enjoyed working with Mary. She was patient, knowledgeable, and very responsive. I was a first-time home buyer, and she took the time to walk me through the entire process and made sure that I understood everything that was necessary.

"I had a great experience with Mary and Maddie Whitcomb. It was my first time buying a home and they were very hands on and helpful throughout the process.

★★★★★
"I would highly recommend anyone looking to buy or sell a home that they work with the Whitcomb Group. It was an absolute pleasure working with Maddie and Mary. Their response time was second to none, their knowledge of the market was beyond impressive and their servitude mindset was always on display. Personally I felt bad with the number of times I had to speak with Maddie after 10pm or early in the morning to answer silly questions but she answered each time. She helped us navigate through a stressful time and actually made the process enjoyable, which is hard to do! If you want an agent who is hard working, professional and will help you get the greatest value out of the experience I recommend the Whitcomb Group.”

★★★★★
"Mary is an excellent Real Estate Agent in every sense of the word. She is knowledgeable, honest, open, reliable, and patient, an expert in her field!

By the end of the day I learned my offer had been accepted! Mary then was attentive to all the dates and deadlines that come with an accepted offer, she guided me to a successful closing less than 30 days later!”

★★★★★
"Mary and her team were always professional, prompt, knowledgable, and helpful. They staged and conducted tours of the house I inherited, helped me clear out 40 years of accumulated things and conduct an estate sale to get back what we could on the contents. I could not have done this without Mary and her team. I would recommend them for anyone needing a real estate professional.”

★★★★★
"Mary Whitcomb is an honest, well-versed, down to earth, and very seasoned relator. Having never met her, my husband and I immediately felt she had our best interest at heart and she proved to point out the true pros and cons of each property in effort to lobby us getting a fair deal. She has great integrity and is always punctual and professional. We highly recommend her and would definitely work with her again!”

★★★★★
"Mary is a true professional. First of all, she guided me and my family through a complex set of challenges in preparing my parents' home for sale. In this regard, Mary provided a great deal of hands on assistance at every stage in the refurbishment process, including recommending and then contacting various professional contractors - always with an eye on price and timing. Upon completion of this phase, she then provided a steady hand in the listing and selling process. In short, it was a great pleasure to work with Mary. The successful outcome of selling my parents' home expeditiously and to the satisfaction of both the buyers and the sellers is testimony to her personal skills and professional knowledge.”

★★★★★
"Mary and Maddie were AWESOME to work with. We are first time home buyers who are new to Wisconsin and they were with us every step of the way to get us into our new home! We are lucky that we got to work with both Maddie and Mary during this process. Maddie was super flexible around our busy work schedule and daycare pickup to show us houses. She also recommended listings based on our interests - one of which we fell in love with and saw back to back! Mary was awesome in helping us settle all the paperwork and when we got into a bidding war, she kept in contact with hourly updates. We believe they were instrumental in getting us in our now home, and recommend them to everyone.”

★★★★★
"Mary was absolutely fantastic. She was very attentive and responsive to all of our questions and was super helpful throughout the entire process. She made both the buying and selling process very smooth and she was able to sell our home quickly. I would absolutely recommend Mary to anyone.”

★★★★★
"Mary and Maddie were great. They were recommended by friends and we couldn't have been happier. We had been living in Madison for eight years but this was our first home purchase. They helped us manage the process as first-time buyers, and were great at responding to our input on what we were looking for. When we decided to make an offer, they helped us act fast. We also had a positive negotiation experience, thanks to their guidance. They made the whole process easy and comfortable.”

★★★★★
"We lived in our house for 37 years and had many concerns about selling a home. Mary and Maddie of the Whitcomb Group were so professional and made it so easy for us to get through the process.”

★★★★★
"I was a first time home buyer and I am glad I worked with Mary. Even though it was a highly competitive market, we were able to get the condo I wanted at a great price. I would recommend her to anyone.”

★★★★★
"We worked with Mary and her daughter both selling our house and buying a new one. They were knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with. My experiences with realtors in the past has been somewhat suboptimal, but this was a completely different experience. I would definitely recommend the Whitcomb team to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Madison area.”

★★★★★
"Mary is the best!! She was extremely helpful throughout the home buying process. She helped us write a really competitive offer that got us our dream home! Mary checked in frequently to ensure we remained up to date on how things were progressing all the way up until our closing. She definitely went above and beyond our expectations, even stopping by one day to drop off boxes to help us pack. If/when we move we’d choose Mary again!”

★★★★★
"Mary and Maddie were such a pleasure to work with. We got great results on our sale and our purchase. Even with 1 million questions they never made us feel like we were bothering them. Even on the weekends. We were able to get them to show listed houses with only an hour or two notice sometimes. We were so surprised by the excellent level of service. They really care about their clients.”

★★★★★
"My elderly father was selling his 3,000 s.f. condominium in Waunakee Wi after the lose of his wife. From our first meeting with Mary, she made a difficult situation easier. She was very responsive, did a great job staging the condominium, provided good market information and was patient and respectful of my Dad. As we received and responded to offers she gave us good advice. There were a few minor items in the condominium that needed to be addressed and she was willing to not only contact contractors, but coordinate the work. I've worked with a number of realtors over the years, but I will go back to Mary if I need representation in the future.”

★★★★★
"We worked with Mary Whitcomb to purchase our house after we were connected through Zillow. Mary had previously seen the house and had initial discussions with the seller so her experience was very helpful. Mary was very knowledgeable and responsive in our home search. We had several rounds of negotiations with the seller and we really appreciated her experience and negotiation skills. We would highly recommend Mary!”

★★★★★
"Mary (and Maddie) are very knowledgeable and professional, and also are most helpful with all stages of the sale process, especially with regard to the "finishing touches" necessary to best present a home. They also willingly go "above and beyond" in assisting the homeowner at all stages of the process.”

★★★★★
"From the first moment we sat down with Mary and Maddie they helped us sort out exactly what we were looking for and the location we wanted. They responded quickly to all of our questions. When we walked into our final house showing Mary and Maddie both knew it was the home that was meant for us. Both were very knowledgeable about the offer process and closing procedures, as well as responsibilities outside of their obligations, including the lending process and home inspection. We couldn't be happier with our choice for realtors!”

★★★★★
"Mary was great! Her responsiveness at all hours of the day about a wide variety of questions and concerns we had definitely sets her apart from other realtors in the area!”

★★★★★
"I cannot say enough good things about Maddie and Mary. They made the stressful process of finding and buying a home totally manageable. They were always available and very responsive, which is critical in the fast-paced Madison market. They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. With their help, we found and bought our dream home. We could not have done it without them in this extremely competitive market. If you are looking for a realtor who will listen to what you want, be available to answer your questions and show you homes when they come on the market, and willing to put in long hours to help you make competitive offers, Maddie and Mary are the realtors for you. They were never pushy and provided excellent advice when asked. We are so grateful to the Whitcombs for all their help!”

★★★★★
"Mary was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, flexible, reachable, and overall wonderful. We moved from out of state and Mary was able to work with our needs and guide us and always had our best interest at heart. I'm grateful for her.”

★★★★★
"Wow Mary is amazing!! We are very very happy with her expertise and she found us a house and even got an accepted offer for us in literally 5 days!! She worked around the clock for us it seemed, listened to what we wanted for price, features, size, etc. and definitely delivered!!! I would HIGHLY recommend Mary for any future houses or real estate business!! We are first time buyers and she was nothing short of sweet and understanding and knowledgeable and took the time and patience with us to get us our dream house! We are very happy and will be with her as long as she is selling houses. Thank you again Mary!!”

★★★★★
"Mary, Maddie and her associates were extremely helpful to my husband and me in accomplishing the overwhelming task of selling our home of 34 years. They guided us through the house-emptying ideas and staging to sell. After we decided to set the date on the market, they came in and took pictures, listed it for us, did multiple showings and completed all the paperwork with our approvals along the way. I had no idea what it takes to sell a home, starting with how much to ask for it. They were professional, informative, and respected our feelings of separating from a lifetime of dreams and ideas. We couldn't have done it without them. Mission was accomplished in 3 months and we are on to our new lives! Thanks you guys!”

★★★★★
"Where to start... Mary’s attention to details, thorough understanding of the market, timely assistance, and overall integrity made selling our home a rewarding experience. Mary and Maddie took care of it all with consideration, thoughtful guidance and expertise.”

★★★★★
"Excellent!! No pressure but lots of good advice. Took her time with me and showed me several houses until I found the perfect home. I would highly recommend the Whitcomb Team to anyone interested in finding their forever home.”

★★★★★
"I was still living in Texas as I was purchasing my new home in Verona. Mary was amazing at helping out with everything throughout the process. From recommendations on contractors and lenders, since i'm new to the area, to meeting the inspector and various other people at the property for me. She made everything super easy and painless. I would not hesitate to use her for future real estate needs.”

★★★★★
"I don't have enough good words to say about Mary and her partner Maddie. I was greatly impressed with their knowledge about the area real estate and their expertise in the field. They were always available to answer the smallest of my questions (and I had a lot!). Trustworthy and kind I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again!”

★★★★★
"Mary knows Madison and the Madison market. She helped us understand the process for selling our home and promptly responded to all of our questions. She negotiated a sale above our asking price. We interviewed several relators before going with Mary and her daughter Maddy. We are 100% satisfied. A pleasure to work with. Would recommend to friends and family.”

★★★★★
"It would be hard to imagine having a better experience in selling our house than we had with Mary and her daughter Maddie. We very much appreciated their knowledge of the local market, their reassurances when we were nervous about the process and their expertise when it came to discussing the offers. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.”

★★★★★
"Mary and Maddie were very dependable, quick to answer our questions and very knowledgeable. They helped us get a very good deal on a wonderful house and were very good during our inspection process. We enjoyed working with them and would recommend them to family and friends.”

★★★★★
"Mary (and Maddy) were a joy to work with in both the sale of one property and the purchase of another. Mary knows real estate and the intricacies of buying & selling. Mary always responded within minutes to any concerns...once when she was out of the country! Amazing service! Mary's knowledge of the market made her a true professional when it came to bargaining in the sale & purchase...we got what we wanted in both transactions. Mary's & Maddy's personalities made working with them a pleasure...and they're still aggressive in getting the best deal...what a winning combination.”

★★★★★
"Maddie and Mary were great to work with - they were extremely responsive, even meeting us within 15 minutes after we went to the open house we wanted to make an offer on; they were knowledgeable about the neighborhoods we were looking at (near west side); they went above and beyond in their work; and they pointed out helpful things to be aware of during the open house and inspection. We took only one star off for negotiation because we wished we got more specific guidance on what dollar amount would be a competitive offer when we were preparing an offer, however we were also working in an extremely competitive market at the time in Madison which made it tough to know what to offer. We would work them without hesitation in the future again!”

★★★★★
"Selling my home of 17 years and "going condo" was an upheaval, but Mary and Maddie made it smooth and easy; everything went like clockwork. They listened to what I wanted in a condo and found me one that's perfect. (And it wasn't actively on the market!) I couldn't have asked for better guides through a process that has so many details to stay on top of. Now that I'm in my new home, I miss them!”

★★★★★
"Mary was my selling agent; she expertly and accurately priced a unique property that had few comparable sales. With her careful advice and marketing it sold promptly. I would highly recommend Mary.”

★★★★★
"Mary was very helpful in finding our home to purchase. The process took us well over a year and she never complained or wanted to drop us as clients. She didn't pressure us into buying a home, which to me is a huge turn off. Once we found the home we wanted she took care of things and kept the process on time. I will recommend Mary and Madeline to friends that are looking to purchase a home.”

★★★★★
"Mary was extremely helpful, prompt, and understanding of our purchasing situation. As a first-time buyer, Mary helped answer my many questions and ease a lot of my concerns. Also appreciated that if she didn't have an immediate answer, was able to track down who had the right information and pass that on to me. Spent time to discuss state of the market, what types of options we had given local trends. Responded to my emails, texts, calls usually within a few hours, definitely within a day. Thank you Mary!!”

★★★★★
"Mary is a delighted lady to work with. Her schedule is very flexible and she responds to the inquiries in a timely manner. She is aware of customer's needs and provides them with the most updated information without delay. We were very happy to know her and work with her throughout the journey. She is highly recommended.”

★★★★★
"Mary blends a soft approach with solid knowledge of real estate. Her work ethic and timely responses assured us during a crazy sellers market. We've worked with Mary for 1/2 yr. Met her at OH, she wrote our offer to purchase (w/integrity as she was rep. for seller). We asked her to sell our house, which had a winning offer in 36 hrs! As we downsized, she and later "Whitcomb Group" we're always there as the process was dynamic. We were broad in where to buy, as Madison has SO MANY great neighborhoods. Over time, as we don't make quick decisions, Maddie found and Mary secured the offer on our new home. We've been here 3 months and feel like we're in a dream! Love, love, love our place and believe that our decision in choosing Mary/Whitcomb Group was the critical decision that made it all happen :)) Mary had steadfast support when times can be stressful (be real, when emotions are all over the board) and she's cool, focused, and professional! We look at each other on this journey as winning the gold at the Olympics.”

★★★★★
"Mary Whitcom's personal style and professionalism made our partnership with her superior to any we have experienced as we have navigated our way through the same process in San Francisco, San Diego, Minneapolis, Hawaii and Madison, Wisconsin. Her extensive experience and professional network of colleagues with talents to offer quality work needed to prepare our home for the marketplace has proven to be invaluable. Throughout the process Mary emphasized our decision-making and cultivated trust in her. She emphasized and we believed that Trust had to be the cornerstone for a sustainable and successful realtor-seller partnership. Throughout Mary demonstrated and insured us that the process was transparent and we were empowered to seek answers and options so we could make informed decisions. She made us feel like we were an exclusive customer and our home was worthy of her representation.”

★★★★★
"We moved to Madison early this year and were on a very tight timeline to find a home. The agent we were assigned by the relocation company turned out to be a real dud. Fortunately we ran into Mary at an open house she was running for a friend. After a bit of conversation we were so impressed we decided to her have be our agent. She had us in an out of all the houses my wife wanted to see and we ended up buying a house just 8 weeks after the switch. This was a stressful time for our family and Mary was patient, excellent with our kids, and very keen on helping us get the exact house we wanted. She went above and beyond during the closing process, personally coming out to the property to make sure everything was done before we closed. We really enjoyed working with her and appreciated her responsiveness and her candor. We will definitely use her for our next home purchase and would recommend her to anyone looking for a solid agent who cares.” - Chris NIcholas

★★★★★
"Mary was instrumental in finding our new home and getting my condo sold quickly. She was very helpful in identifying the steps we needed to make to get the condo ready which in the end resulted in getting a full price offer within 3 days of listing.”

★★★★★
"Mary is incredibly knowledgeable of the Madison real estate market and this proved to be extremely helpful in working with us to buy our house and sell a condo. We were very happy with all of the negotiations that she helped us navigate. Great work Mary!”

★★★★★
"I worked with Mary Whitcomb to purchase my first home, and she was absolutely wonderful. She was always extremely prompt when replying to questions or requests, and she did an outstanding job finding properties that I would be interested in. She has very good judgement, and I was particularly impressed with her ability to understand what I was looking for, why I wanted those things, and what was most important to me. I thought every listing she showed me fit what I was looking for, and she never pushed for anything I wasn't interested in or pressured me to change my parameters. Mary was also very knowledgeable about the process as a whole as well as the individual properties. If she was not sure about something, she always found out and got back to me very quickly, often while we were still at the property. Additionally, whenever I asked for her opinion, Mary was always very unbiased, honest, and professional, and I was very happy with her recommendations. After finding the home I wanted to buy, Mary made the process extremely quick and easy. She was very communicative with all parties and did a great job answering questions, giving advice, and walking me through the process. Once again, she was consistently very quick to respond and was very thorough and attentive. Everything went extremely smoothly, which was thanks in large part to Mary. Beyond her good judgment, good communication, and professional demeanor, Mary was also a wonderful person to work with on a personal level. She is very friendly and easy to talk to, and I always felt that she was giving me her full attention. I don't have a single negative thing to say about Mary or my experience, and I would recommend her to anyone.”

★★★★★
"Mary Whitcomb sold my home in one day for over the asking price. She is very friendly and professional. I would recommend her to my family and friends.” - Charles DiRienzo

★★★★★
"Mary was the best realtor I can imagine in every way. Helpful, nice, gave us guidance and listened to what we wanted and needed. She responded quickly every time we contacted her. She went above and beyond, giving a lot of time, energy and advice. Even though our property was on the low end of the market it still felt like we were million dollar clients. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She's wonderful!”

★★★★★
"Professional, personable. Very helpful. She was a real asset in selling our home. Highly recommend her for you when you need a realtor. From beginning to end she kept us aware of all processes. She knew what helps sell homes, she knew what was needed and made rhe right contacts to sell our home fast. We put our home on the market in April 2008 and it was sold by may of 2008. Excellent work.”

★★★★★
"Mary is a delight to work with. She is knowledgeable and honest. I highly recommend her. We had a blast working together. We had a tall order and Mary did her best to make it happen. Buying a house can be stressful and exciting, it takes a patient agent to deal with all the emotions. Mary was nonjudgmental through the whole process.”

★★★★★
"Mary did an exceptional job finding us a house in Madison. Since we were moving from out of the area we narrowed the houses we wanted to view before visiting the area. Once we had an accepted offer Mary really went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. She recommended a great local lender, ensured everything was taken care of regarding the inspection, final walk-thru and closing. She even made sure one final maintenance item was taken care of 5 days after closing since we had not arrived in the area yet. I would %100 recommend Mary Whitcomb to anyone looking for a great realtor in the Madison area!”

★★★★★
"I have been working with Mary for a few months looking for my first home in the Madison area. I started this process early and Mary has been more than helpful and patient with me as I make this big decision. Mary is able to anticipate my likes and dislikes and alerts me to properties that she thinks I would like. She is always prompt to get me into showings - many times showing me the property the same day I inquire about it. She is always accessible and I feel confident I will be able to find the home of my dreams with her!”

★★★★★
"We worked with Mary on both the purchase and sale of homes. Both transactions came with challenges, and Mary stuck with us through them all. She was right there with us, on our side, for everything. I can not recommend her enough. Honest, hard-working and willing to go beyond the extra mile for her clients.”

★★★★★
"Mary did an excellent job of working with my husband and I to come up with a consensus decision on both the selling of our hold house and the buying of the new one. She was incredibly responsive and gave us continual feedback on the market and how things were going at our showings. On top of that, she has a great personality and a level head which are both helpful in the home buying/selling process.”

★★★★★
"Mary worked with my family to sell my dad's house at a very stressful time in our lives. Dad was ill and had to leave the house. She was fabulous and went above and beyond to help with details, like meeting with contractors when I couldn't, working with the city and state officials in removing a well required by the State, delivering papers to my dad, even setting up a closing so he didnt need to be present. She made the entire process from listing to closing very easy. She even helped cleanout the house, with a couple runs to the donation center!”

★★★★★
"We met Mary while looking at houses independently over a period of several years. It became a bit of a joke between the two of us, wondering whether we'd see her, and each time we spoke with her, we came away impressed with her knowledge of the area and, frankly, her honesty. When we found a house we wanted to make an offer on and needed to sell our old house quickly, we asked her to represent us. (We had sold our condo independently before this, so working with Mary was a choice.) She really worked hard to show off our old house, making herself available and remaining fun to work with throughout, and she helped us get into the new house, recommending tradespeople, etc.... We'd recommend her to anyone--especially to people we like. :)”

★★★★★
"Simply superb. Our entire experience working with Mary Whitcomb showed me the value of working with a professional realtor from start to finish. She was a joy to interact with, forthright, and very knowledgeable of the Madison market. We gave her a list of desired features of a new home, and she did her homework, gave us very sound advice, and handled showings and price negotiations with strategic attention to detail. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

★★★★★
"Mary did a fantastic job in shepherding us through the sale of our house. It certainly wasn’t the easiest sale for her as the local market wasn’t the greatest at the time, our home most definitely had one or two “unique” aspects that prevented it from having broad appeal, and we decided to go on the market in the midst of one of Wisconsin’s infamous recent winters! Most importantly she was always available to answer questions, and quite often – would be there to simply offer moral support – which helped smooth things out during a rather emotional period for us. She bent over backward to protect our interests throughout the process, fought to obtain an equitable price, and always remained a true professional. We would recommend her to anybody!”

★★★★★
"Mary assisted in the sale of an existing home and purchase of another. The latter was a foreclosure and presented its own unique challenges and frustrations. Mary did a very good job of communicating and negotiating with the parties associated with the foreclosed property. Overall, I was very pleased with her efforts in both transactions.”

★★★★★
"Mary Whitcomb is the consummate professional realtor. We’ve sold enough properties to have opted for the FSBO route when we sold our house in 2014. We researched the market for a year, then decided to aim high as the sellers’ market became increasingly favorable. To leave no stone unturned, we asked Mary to share her comparables with us. We were so favorably impressed by her sales pitch that we decided to work with her. We ended up pocketing $20,000 more than we thought possible. We’ve recommended Mary to many of our friends and look forward to working with her again. We feel lucky to be able to work with such an intelligent, competent realtor who cares so much about her clients’ priorities and satisfaction.”

★★★★★
"Wonderful experience! No "pushy salesman" tactics at all. Not only helped stage my house before listing it, but sold it in 1 day! Then after we were in contract, she even helped me arrange for storage and movers. Couldn't be more satisfied with a realtor.”

★★★★★
"As first time home buyers, we leaned on Mary to answer many questions and she was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, straight-forward and timely throughout the entire process. She really took the time to listen and understand what we were looking for, provided sound advice (during our search and while negotiating our offer) and made us feel confident in our decisions. We loved working with Mary and while we're very happy in our current house and aren't looking to move any time soon, we would gladly welcome the opportunity to work with her again.”

★★★★★
"Can't say enough good things about Mary. I recommend her to everyone who's looking to buy or sell a house in Madison. Mary was the agent for both my home sale and condo purchase in 2014. I bought my condo about two hours after it went on the market (thanks to Mary) and sold my house in about a week (also thanks to Mary). Both processes went very smoothly, and she was wonderful to work with -- very competent and considerate. Other agents think highly of her as well, which contributed to their cooperativeness in my transactions. She's wonderful!”

★★★★★
"We have been working with Mary on a relocation to the Madison area. With two small children there are many considerations and Mary was knowledgeable about schools, neighborhoods and local commutes. She listens and u sweatbands our needs. Can't say enough good things!”

★★★★★
"Mary was an amazing realtor to work with! She helped me through the process of purchasing my first home and was there with me every step of the way! She was efficient, communicated well, and was very knowledgeable about the area. Working with Mary made my first home buying experience smooth, stress-free, and memorable. I would without a doubt recommend her expertise!”

★★★★★
"She is energetic and fast-paced. She knows the legal/process components very well which helped us secure our new home even after another offer came in. She is friendly and fun and takes the time to show you any and all options.”

★★★★★
"I trusted the selling of my home to Mary Whitcomb and couldn't have made a better choice. Mary not only knows real estate she knows how to treat people. She is sincere, honest and hardworking. She made everything from listing to closing stress free. Feedback was prompt and negotiations smooth. Mary goes above and beyond to get your home sold.”

★★★★★
"Mary is everything you could want in a realtor. She is a skilled negotiator, exceedingly honest, personable, friendly and willing to walk the extra mile to help her clients. When we moved to the Madison area, we started working with Mary to find our dream house. She was very prompt in contacting us, always replying to my emails, texts, or phone calls. She was also very organized and was willing to set up multiple showings including houses that I found on my own from Zillow or other websites. She was very knowledgeable about the current markets and gave us exceptional advice on price points and which houses might be a good deal. When we found the house we wanted, Mary was exceedingly honest - she was the realtor on both sides of the transaction - so she was very clear on what advice/information she could or could not share. I found her integrity and friendly personality refreshing. We are so happy we had Mary to help us through the confusing process of buying our first home and we have no doubts what-so-ever about recommending her to others. Actually, we have already had two other couples hire Mary based on our recommendations and they had excellent experiences as well!”

"So, my only question: how do we make these "gold" stars? I recommend Mary without reservation. She's the best! Exceptional in every way. Excellent communication, calm and reasonable and steady in a very stressful (for us) situation of selling and closing quickly on my Dad's condo (who had recently passed.) Very helpful all along the way, sorting out the millions of little details that completely over-whelmed us, answering questions we didn't even know to ask, getting our price, (ok, actually a little more than our price) finding help with a few things we had to tend to from the inspection, closing as we requested . Always there for us. Smooth, steady, confident. A pleasure to work with!”

"Mary helped me to sell my home and purchase another. Her knowledge of the market, her suggestions and enthusiasm made both transactions happen smoothly and professionally. She is easy to work with, I would not hesitate to (and have not) in recommending her as an agent.”
