A & A Hensley
Mary worked extremely hard to find us a new home. If she had not insisted, I view the property, I would not have done so,
having dismissed the area as unsuitable. Mary was right, the house is just what we want, and we are delighted.
A Burden & D Hensley
Mary has been very helpful over a considerable period of time, especially with keeping us informed of suitable properties and arranging viewings.
J Kent
Mary was diligent, hardworking and keen to help us. She kept us abreast of suitable properties and was very good at arranging viewings. Without her help we would not have found our purchased property.
M Cooper
Mary was amazing, so obliging and nothing was too much trouble. She was a great negotiator on our behalf whilst doing the best for her vendors too. She was very informative and ensured we were kept up to date at every stage of the purchase. She was very responsive to any questions. We were very happy with her service
A & I Radovanovich
Mary is an outstanding agent, very supportive with excellent communication throughout the selling process. Mary goes the extra mile and has deep knowledge, emotional intelligence and an extremely good intuition for both the buying and selling parts of the business.
S Yarrow & S Boulton
Mary was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She always called when she said she would and provided us with frank and clear advice about the property. We really enjoyed purchasing our property with Mary.
R & J Lynn
Mary went over and above what any client should expect. I got the better price at the end of the day. Mary understood my predicament and helped me. I had full trust and faith in what decisions she made. I was explained on how to present my place for the market. I still value her advice she gave me.
Elizabeth Adams
Mary was friendly and chatty right from the first open home we attended. She could see how much we loved the house and worked her magic to get the property for us at a price we were happy with. She was accommodating with the times she could see us, and her level of communication was much appreciated. Thanks, Mary, for helping us purchase the home we love.
S Cashman & M Donaldson
Mary was and IS the most committed and genuine real estate agent I have ever met, and I have bought and sold 5 properties. She goes the EXTRA MILE and is truly working with sellers' best interest in mind.
