Client Stories

The real results
come from real people.

  • “Maryann was recommended to me by a friend after listing my house for over a year with another agent. I was very impressed with Maryann after our first meeting. She had ideas on what needed to be done to sell the house, I thought I would have to find contractors to do the work and get multiple bids. Her team helped with everything, she even had someone at the house to keep the contractors on track and on budget. Her people and process are like no others I've seen. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

    ~ Denise

  • There aren't enough words to properly praise Maryann for the extraordinary service we received at every step along the way during our home purchase. Our experience buying a homet as first-time home buyers simply could not have been better. During our first interactions with Maryann she asked thoughtful questions about what we wanted and needed in a house and honed in on exactly what we were looking for. We quickly found a home that had a lot of interest, and Maryann gave us timely advice and all the tools we needed to make a competitive offer. We feel so lucky our offer got accepted, but that's really all due to Maryann going to bat for us with her 30 years of expertise and amazing people skills. She is extremely knowledgeable and honest, and has a wide network of contractors and designers, making the reality of your dream home that much easier to obtain. Five stars is not enough to rate Maryann, we highly recommend her as your Realtor and wish everyone could have the same experience we had buying our first home! ~Antakihome

  • “I have now sold 6 houses and purchased 7 houses with Maryann over the last 20 years. She has been with me since the beginning. She always used to use the phrase “Your agent for life” and I would chuckle. But here we are 20 years later. In these past 20 years, working with agents on the opposite side of whatever transaction we were currently in, I came to realize just how knowledgeable, caring and protective Maryann is of her clients. She will fight until you are happy. She will make sure you are always covered – she ALWAYS has your back ! She has also become a great family friend and I look forward to another 20+ years working with Maryann.”
