ZillowVERIFIEDMary handled the sale of our family condo calmly and professionally under less-than-simple circumstances. She understood the nuances of selling on behalf of an older owner who needed family involvement, and she kept the process low-stress. We stayed disciplined on pricing, declined early low offers, and ultimately secured a strong final price. Mary supported our approach, offered us sound advice, and helped us move quickly when the right offer came in. Mary is a highly professional agent who stayed the course and delivered a solid outcome.

ZillowVERIFIED Mary was incredible in working with us to both acquire our new home and sell our previous home. She has years of experience that helped us to maximize our understanding as both buyer and seller. She knows the market. She knows the business. She has the ability to use this experience to communicate about what we are seeing in the marketplace and give us the foundation to make decisions necessary to receive top dollar for our home. She can negotiate with the best of them but does so with high integrity even if the realtor on the other side of the table does not act the same. On top of her negotiating, buying and selling experience, for us Mary went above what was expected of her by doing investigative work to find the warranty department for windows that were ultimately replaced in the home we purchased. She is also detail oriented and caught items in the closing process that saved us hundreds of dollars. Mary is the real deal when it comes to helping you buy a home, sell a home and get top dollar.

ZillowVERIFIED Mary did an outstanding job for us once again! This was our second time to use Mary's services, this time to sell our Georgia home, and Mary went above and beyond to help us sell the home. We very much enjoyed working with Mary, who is professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about the market. We would definitely recommend her as an agent - call Mary!!

ZillowVERIFIED Mary has helped with me on many properties now, buying and selling. Always an excellent experience! Locating properties, gathering information, caveats to watch out for, financing referrals, handyman and home improvement specialists referrals, all have been very helpful. I highly recommend her for any real estate need you have. It is very important to have an experience, knowledgeable professional to work with.

ZillowVERIFIED Mary has handled several business sales/purchases for me in the past and she always does a fantastic job. She is responsive, even if she is on personal time she will respond to your needs. She has years of experience and knows how to "have her clients backs" in every situation. She knows the real estate laws, requirements, local restrictions, etc. and will make sure all of your closing requiremements are met on a timely basis. She makes buying and selling easier!

ZillowVERIFIED Mary was amazing! Very considerate and prompt in our communication and extremely knowledgable about the area. We relocated from CA so we needed an expert! She really listened to our wish list for a home and helped us find everything on that list. Would absolutely recommend working with Mary!

Review for Member: Mary Russell
ZillowVERIFIED We spoke with several agents in preparation for selling our home and chose Mary for two simple reasons. First, it was obvious she had more experience than the other agents we interviewed; and second, she was far more prepared for the meeting than the other agents. Turned out to be an excellent choice. We were under contract in a couple weeks. Mary and her husband Tom coordinated all the details and kept us informed as necessary. The entire process was as stress free as a home sale can be. I would genuinely recommend them to anyone looking for someone to sell their home.

ZillowVERIFIED Mary came highly recommended to us and she did not disappoint. She was phenomenal to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable of the local market, helped us prepare our house for sale, and helped us with all the necessary paperwork to get the house ready to sell. She was extremely strategic in helping us not only select the right list price but pick the right time to list it. Once the house was listed she kept us up-to-date with what was happening. We ended up getting multiple offers above our asking price and she expertly guided us through selecting the best offer. I would highly recommend Mary to help you get your house sold!

ZillowVERIFIED Mary takes care of her clients! Her expertise, diligence and "attention to details", not only makes the process easier, but it protected me as a seller. The selling and closing process would have been unmanageable for me as on out of state owner, if I did not have her in my corner, navigating and directing the process. I have bought and sold many homes in the past, Mary is by far best realtor I have had.

ZillowVERIFIED Mary listed my in-laws house in Marietta. It was an older house that they had lived in over 25 years. Mary was instrumental in suggesting updates and staging that sold the house in one week. We could not believe how smoothly the closing went. She is a real pro and our family highly recommends her services. Susan & Cliff Wright 970 Kinghorn Drive Kennesaw, GA 30152

We received an offer very quickly, so from listing, negotiating and to close, everything went so well. If you are looking for a great Realtor who communicates and knows the Real Estate market, choose her! Thank you Mary!

ZillowVERIFIED Top notch agent! Sold in three days. I have known Mary and Tom for several years. Very competent and helpful at every stage. I also used them to purchase some property in North Ga. It took a while to find the right property but Tom stuck with it and I ended up with a great property. Highly recommend them.

ZillowVERIFIED Although I would rather not sell or move again, I would certainly hire Mary Russell again.. I'm sure I was NOT her only client, however, I sure felt like it. Whenever I called, texted, or emailed... she responded quickly. I was kept informed soon after she found out something or was getting ready to forward me something to sign. She answered all my questions, very honest, forthcoming with suggestions, tactful, and offered solutions for negotiating. She has a great caring spirit and I feel she has a special talent with calming the anxieties that often come with selling a house

Review for Member: Mary Russell
ZillowVERIFIED After looking for a home in the Woodstock-Canton area for one year, and visiting 40 different properties, my husband and I met Mary Russell (and Tom!). Following a brief interview we knew we had met the right realtor. She zeroed in on our divergent needs/wants and within 3 months helped us to find the home with which both of us could be happy. Mary's knowledge of real estate and the local area are superb. Her gentle and clear guidance, never overbearing or heavy-handed, were invaluable in our re-locating process. We were living 550 miles from our desired destination, and thru it all Mary (and Tom) were guiding lights. Six weeks after moving into our home, she is still checking on us and making sure we are acclimating to our new surroundings. We are most pleased with our home and extremely grateful that she was able to help us. Without reservation, Mary Russell is the consummate professional.

ZillowVERIFIED Mary sold my house! She kept me informed so I could make decisions when needed. I had never sold a home before and being informed was a confidence builder. She was respectful and thoughtful of a first time seller. Her knowledge, responsiveness and negotiation skills were excellent. I had a wonderful experience because of her expertise. I highly recommend her for your real estate agent!

ZillowVERIFIED Mary is a wonderful realtor. We were relocating out of state and needed to sell our house quickly. Mary was understanding and listened to all my stresses and worries.

ZillowVERIFIED We moved from out of state and only had five days to find and purchase a home. Mary showed us around and gave us some great tips on locations, home lay out, and communities. After our house hunting trip she was in steady communication with us to walk us through the stressful process and make sure everyone was on the same page and home repairs were completed before closing. If you are looking for someone with honesty who can help negotiate a fair price than Mary is the one to make things happen!

ZillowVERIFIED Mary was wonderful! We were selling our old house while looking for a new house. She was able to help us with a super difficult buyer for our old house, and our new house went very smooth. We are thankful for her guidance as this was our first sell and first buy! Would definitely reach out to her again if needed, and would recommend to family/friends.

ZillowVERIFIED Mary is cream of the crop. She is by far the best realtor I have had in over 20 years and many houses...Mary constantly went above and beyond to help us find our dream home. Her communication skills are superb, always responding, even late at night, and she is also a great negotiator. We always felt like Mary had our best interests at heart. We highly recommend Mary. She is the best of the best. If we sell again she will be our Realtor!

ZillowVERIFIED If you want to be sure to buy the right house for you, or if you want to sell your house for the highest possible price in a short time you need to talk to Mary. My wife and I have incorporated both the real estate buying and selling services of Mary. Both were exceptional. Most recently we worked with her to sell our house. She visited with us to determine the right selling price and the most equitable updates to ensure we received that price from potential buyers. This saved us money, and made the whole experience go smoothly for us. She communicated clearly, often, and ALWAYS on OUR behalf. In nine buy/sell transactions I have used Mary directly for two, and used her knowledge for a third. If I could have, I'd have used her for all nine. You will not go wrong with Mary Russell. Mary also has a strong network of real estate agents across the country, and after we sold our house she recommended a stellar performer in our new state who helped us navigate a tough market and get a great house in a tough timeline. With Mary, you get more than just another real estate agent.

ZillowVERIFIED We relocated from DC to this area and she made the purchase as seamless as could be! When we ran into an issue that we thought was going to delay our closing, she was cool as ever and did a great job of calming my frayed nerves. Both she and her husband are realtors - either of them would be an excellent choice when its time to buy or sell. This is the 3rd home Ive purchased and by far, the best realtor Ive had!

ZillowVERIFIED Mary got assigned to me through the relocation process as I was moving from Kansas to Georgia for work. I had never been to Georgia prior to this move. I knew from the first phone conversation we had I was in good hands. I had some specific needs and a price range that was not going to be the easiest to find, but Mary always stayed positive (even when I didn't). She was very helpful through the entire search, not only with real estate but the general area(s). She covered everything from A-Z for me. She was definitely a great resource to have in your corner and I feel like I gained a friendship with her and her husband Tom. If the time ever comes that I need help selling or buying in the future, she will be my first and only call.

ZillowVERIFIED We recently relocated to GA and Mary was a lifesaver, as we were on a very tight schedule to find a home and arrange our move. Met us at the airport, had all our prospective homes lined up for viewing and helped us find a home on the first day! Worked thru the contract and closing, drove us over & back (across Atlanta in peak hour) to closing office and made sure everything went exactly as planned. If you are buying in the area we would recommend Mary - you will be happy that you did!

ZillowVERIFIED We recently relocated from CT to GA for work and received Mary's info from a coworker that she already helped sell and purchase multiple homes for. From the first meeting with Mary you will see you have the best realtor for NW Atlanta you can ask for!! She is focused, THOROUGH, RESPONSIVE, and extremely well informed about every existing and new construction development in Cobb County we asked her about. (She covers more than just CobbaEUR|). Mary knew the pros and cons of each neighborhood in terms of lifestyle and resale, the impact on work travel, ongoing and upcoming construction in the area, comps, schools, and local amenities. Three times we texted her a list of 6-8 homes to view later that week and within only an hour or two Mary got back to us will all of them confirmed, with all the property's info prepared, for a Saturday showing marathon...We ran out of energy before she did! Mary guided us through the ENTIRE process, and patiently answered every question we asked and those we surely repeated. She held the listing party accountable to our deadlines. Mary helped us buy the perfect home and for the price we were comfortable with. After the deal was made she had all the contacts for mortgage, appraisals, home inspections, and more. She truly cared about helping us find the perfect place and never hesitated to advise us when we were making poor decisions. Coldwell Banker's search engine was very user friendly and extremely helpful in searching and comparing inventory as well. Anyone looking to buy or sell needs Mary Russell on their side!! Seriously!

ZillowVERIFIED You wont find a better realtor team for the Marietta Historic area than Mary and Tom Russell! They were amazing from start to finish. From marketing, staging ideas, negotiating, and explaining what could work to get the house sold. They knew our area extremely well and what we should get for the home. Our family is so grateful to the Russells and would highly recommend them to any others looking to move in or out of our amazing area.

ZillowVERIFIED Mary knows her stuff. From day one she had a plan that allowed us to locate the perfect home in an aggressive market quickly and with minimal hassle. She knew how to work with the seller to close in record time (21 days), and ultimately landed us in a great house with no remorse. She was always available to answer questions and listen to my concerns. She offered her professional advice, but ultimately made sure I was the decision-maker. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home or selling a home in the region.

ZillowVERIFIED Mary did an exceptional job finding us the right house. She spent two full days showing us more than 20 houses and when we found the one we liked , she was there for us all the way. We were new in the area so without her expertise and right recommendations, I'm not sure if we'd be as happy as we are with our selection. Thank you Mary.

ZillowVERIFIED Mary helped me buy a house in 2009 and sell it in 2016. For buying, she guided us to the areas we wanted and the style we wanted. I was approved for a good loan but wanted to buy lower and she didn't pressure me to get a house that cost more than I was comfortable with. She found me the perfect home within three days. When it came time to move I immediately contacted Mary again. She showed me the list of comps in the area, priced my home reasonably, and addressed items that needed work. Once she lost it, I had an offer for full price within 22 HOURS!! The buyer wanted to close in three weeks and Mary helped me get everything in order so I could close on time. She's the best realtor in the Atlanta area.

Review for Member: Mary Russell
ZillowVERIFIED We had a very difficult time closing on a home for various reasons. In fact, we had tentative contracts on 3 other homes before we finally closed on one. This meant that Mary had to complete all the paperwork for the negotiations and ensure that all the disclosures and inspections were completed in a timely manner. She stuck with us through it all and in the end found the perfect home for us.

ZillowVERIFIED Mary took time to figure out exactly what we were looking for before we visited Atlanta for any showings, so choosing a home was easy. From making an offer, negotiating the contract, requesting inspection repairs, to closing, Mary handled every step confidently and knowledgeably. She is by far the best agent we have ever worked with.
