“Mary Ann is what everyone hopes for in a real estate broker. She listened carefully to what we wanted, was honest and compassionate, helped us stay flexible yet focused and was a delight to work with. She got us the perfect house.  I’d recommend her to anyone.”  -Rachel Bronson

“I am convinced Mary Ann sold my home at the price I hoped for because she went above and beyond to market and stage my home, and then creatively responded to the smallest comment and concern expressed by potential buyers and brokers.  Her marketing background, poise and results leave us confident in her ability to get any job well done!”   -Bennetta Kelly

“A few things come to mind when working with Mary Ann.  I felt like a celebrity who had an agent that was extremely thorough, inviting, knowledgeable, willing to give advice as well as just willing to listen to my needs and wants.  I am new in the real estate game and Mary Ann was so patient with me and quite frankly took the time to teach me the reasons for and why processes were done.  Mary Ann was a perfect match for me!”  -Jay T. Johnston

“It was truly a pleasure working with Mary Ann on the purchase of our new home.  Mary Ann is an excellent listener and was able to discern from our discussions the essence of what we wanted and needed.  In addition to wonderful interpersonal skills, Mary Ann also brought total professionalism and vast expertise to the process.  In our 40 years of experience with realtors, Mary Ann is absolutely the best!”  -Mitchell and Janni Favus

“My husband and I were in Chicago from New York in pursuit of a rental for our son as he was beginning his career post college.  We saw one of Mary Ann’s listings in the real estate section and thought we might consider the possibility of purchasing something, which our son could live in while determining whether Chicago was where he wanted to end up.  We are originally from the area and it felt wonderful to be back.  Mary Ann worked diligently with us online to narrow down our search.  In a few short weeks and only one trip back to Chicago – Mary Ann had previewed 11 properties before that trip back – we closed on our new town home on The Riverwalk in the heart of the city.
 
We have met an invaluable friend in Mary Ann.  She is bright, efficient, astute and so much fun!  She truly is the reason we were able to find a place so quickly.  All closing details went smoothly.  We have purchased several times in the past as our lives have taken us in many directions and no realtor has ever gone to the lengths that she did for us.  By the way, our son ended up renting in Bucktown but enjoys our laundry room on weekends!”  -Judy and Joe Donovan

“I cannot say enough about the superb support and service Mary Ann provided with my relocation from the East Coast. Though I’ve bought a number of homes around the country, the intricacies of real estate in Illinois , the current economic climate, and my timeline for purchase created several challenges. Because Mary Ann is so knowledgeable about the features of each neighborhood and the market, we were able to quickly sort through the vast inventory available. She listened intently and helped me work through the process of matching my expectations with a new geographic area. She saw what I didn’t, asked questions I never thought to ask, and hounded realtors, sellers, bankers, and lawyers for answers. She looked out for my interests every step of the way and pushed hard during the price and punch list negotiations all the way through closing. With Mary Ann, I had a great negotiator, a building and construction consultant, and found a terrific friend.” - Ellen Standafer

“I work with teams all the time. Some teams work great in the short term, but great teams maintain the momentum throughout the process. In spending 7-8 months searching for the perfect home and 3 months selling our current home, I believe our team maintained that momentum. Mary Ann deserves the credit for that great team. She was knowledgeable, forth- coming with information, and provided well-thought out advice. Further, she provided great resources, as well as even helping identify contractors to help start our renovations. I feel very confident recommending Mary Ann to others as a trusted advisor in their real estate search. We enjoyed the journey and forging a new friendship during the process.”  - Bill Gladden
