ReviewMary was absolutely brilliant through the entire homebuying process! She was always on top of things and making sure everything got done as soon as possible and, on top of that, extremely friendly the whole time. If you're buying or selling a house in Pittsburgh I can't recommend Mary enough!

ReviewOutstanding First-Home Buying Experience with Mary. Mary was the perfect partner throughout the entire process of buying our first home. She took the time to truly understand our needs, provided thoughtful guidance, and made us feel supported and confident as first-time buyers. Even when we encountered a few hiccups after moving in, Mary remained incredibly accommodating and responsive. Her professionalism, patience, and genuine care made our home-buying experience smooth and memorable. Were so grateful for all her help and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted realtor!

ReviewThe team of Mary and Naomi was fantastic. They were flexible in driving the hour to Washington to show me homes. When I found the home I wanted, they helped me through the purchase and closing process. Mary and Naomi were instrumental in the sale and closing of my previous home. I don't think it is normal to hit so many glitches between the sale and closing due to borough requirements. They were with me every step of the way, they made reliable suggestions, kept me informed and calm. It was a pleasure working with Mary and Naomi, I would highly recommend!!

ReviewMary is by far the best, not just in the business but as a human. She's patient, accommodating, super kind, and extremely knowledgeable at what she does and the areas that she works in. I can't stress enough that your go-to for buying or selling a home must be with Mary! (and I've got a lot of experience working with her, with 2 buys and 1 sell completed!)

ReviewThank you so much for all your help! Also for all the hard work you put in to helping us find our home. Mary was a pleasure to work with from being extremely responsive, giving good advice, and explaining every step as we moved forward. She had made buying our home stress free. All of her insight was very valuable to us and I couldn?t of asked for anything more of an agent. Thank you Mary we couldn?t of done it without you!

ReviewWere first time home buyers and entered the market around March 2022. We closed on a great home in June 2022. Mary has been great throughout the whole process. We initially were looking at condos and homes on the South Side slope of Pittsburgh, and we understood what it meant to own each property type from Marys advice. She shows up to the appointments informed about the houses and would give us an idea of what the disclosure is saying better than we could understand. We had to back out of a deal, and she navigated us through that, and also advised us on how to move forward based on that experience. We also had to bid for the house that we closed on, and Marys advice helped us win without going overboard. Her team at Guaranteed Rate (Jeff, Dana, etc) was also great at helping out with the situation we were in (I am on a visa and I was about to get married). I look forward to my friends looking for property to buy in the Pittsburgh area so I can recommend Mary to them!

ReviewMary was recommended to us by friends and we are so happy that they did! We were first-time homebuyers in an unusual market who fell in love with a house and really wanted to make a move on it. Mary guided us through this process and helped us buy our lovely house through competing offers, inspections, and every little bump along the way. We would have been completely lost without Mary and she took care of us at every turn and make sure that we were taken care of. Our daughter also loved Mary so much that she still calls our new home ?Mary?s House? and we will never forget everything she did for us! I would recommend Mary to anyone and everyone in a heartbeat!

ReviewMary took the confusion out of first-time home buying. She was patient with questions, game to see any property, and walked me through every step of the process. Her expertise shone both in locating the right neighborhood and finding the right house. I would recommend her to anyone looking to find their next home.

ReviewMary is the best! She is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and professional. We were first-time home buyers and she guided us through the whole process with patience, kindness, and enthusiasm. She always responded to our texts/calls/emails very quickly. We never felt pressure from her, and she was very balanced when giving her opinion of houses--the pros and also the cons for our particular needs. She is very well-connected and was able to show us some places before they hit the MLS and, once we found a place, was able to recommend some great vendors for things like roofing, carpet cleaning, etc. She handled the negotiation of our home purchase really well, and was able to get us everything we wanted from the sellers. We looked with Mary for about 8 months before we found our home, and in that time she always remained positive and patient about the search and was always ready for a showing when we were interested in a place. She is very easy to talk to and I always felt comfortable with her. I have already recommended Mary to someone, and I will continue to refer friends and family to her in the future.

ReviewMary was so helpful throughout the process. As first-time buyers, we had many questions. She showed us any house we requested and was really able to help us figure out our expectations. She helped us navigate the offer timeline really well even when things were confusing to us! I was surprised to see that her help didnt stop at the offer or closing time: she helped us find contractors, movers, etc. Without Mary, I dont think wed have gotten the house we wanted, or been able to get things lined up in time for moving! Thank you Mary!

ReviewMary is extremely hardworking and helpful. Her work ethic is coupled with attention to detail and knowing when to refer us to outside expertise. She helped us buy a home in Pittsburg from Kansas that we are very happy with.

ReviewMary was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. I was a first time homebuyer and was very nervous about the whole process, but she made me feel at ease. She responded promptly to any and all of my questions. Mary also provided a very clear timeline from the offer to the closing and never went too long without touching base with me. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!!

ReviewMary went over and above to make my experience painless. Her professionalism and drive are first rate. Realtors also have to act as amateur psychologists, since the process can be so stressful. She even excelled at this part of the job! I?m so glad i chose her to represent me.

ReviewMary is worth her weight in gold. We were first time home buyers, and met with lots of agents. We considered conducting interviews because we were not sure about who would best represent our interests, until we met Mary. She was wonderful. She took the time to figure out what was important to us, even though we were not always articulate. She acted as a reliable resource and provided invaluable insight throughout the entire process. We will never consider working with anyone else.

ReviewMary was extremely knowledgeable about the market in which we were looking to purchase a home. There are many "give and takes" that home buyers must make when house hunting (i.e. I'll take a bigger yard for one less bathroom). Her knowledge helped us to feel comfortable that the home we purchased was a great opportunity in the neighborhood we were looking, for the "give and takes" we were needed to make with the purchase. Seeing what is available on the market even after our home purchase has continued to instill that same comfort.

ReviewWe were first time home buyers in a Pittsburgh and Mary made our home search process painless and enjoyable. She was always available to answer our spontaneous questions and always provided knowledgeable and pertinent feed back to us. Mary really takes the time to get to know you and feel out when you want, what you don't want, and what you may gravitate toward. On top of her expertise and determination, Mary is just a genuinely kind and sweet person. She will make your home search process as easy as it could be. We highly recommend choosing her.
