"You are an excellent agent. You did an amazing job, moving mountains to save me money in capital gains, get more money than I expected for the loft, as well as have the sale close before the laws changed at the stroke of midnight!" – Denize K.

"Buying or selling a home is a daunting endeavor, particularly in New York. Mary assisted us in our house hunt, listened carefully to our growing family's needs, and steered us towards our dream home. She never lost patience with us and always acted with our best interests at heart, even finding a new home for my mom, who relocated from Florida. She is thrilled where she is living, in the Village, close to us. Immediate service, integrity, professionalism, and neighborhood warmth are above and beyond what we ever expected from anyone." – Zoie K.

"[Mary did] fine work selling my loft and finding me the perfect apartment, a renovated large one bedroom with 1.5 baths and a balcony. The closings were on the same day so there was a seamless transition. Mary even drove me and my cat to the new apartment! The next morning she brought me coffee and a muffin, as I hadn't had time to unpack." – Roberta M.

"Mary was extraordinarily helpful during our search in every regard. She listened very carefully to what we wanted. She is exceptionally knowledgeable about the buildings she is showing, as she has been living and selling in the area for years, and knows the buildings/owners. She also assisted with the compilation of a grueling board package and went above and beyond in that respect, as I have fairly complex financials. She is cognizant of her clients' needs and is patient, honest, and intelligent. Several weeks after closing, she even fixed my mailbox when the seller's estate could not locate the keys! She is certainly someone I would recommend and would choose to deal with again." – H. W.

"Thank you for selling our loft. I would like to use every word related to "thank you" to show our appreciation. You have done a mission which seemed impossible to all of us. People always say there will be a miracle around Christmas, and we believe you are our miracle. Thank you again; you are definitely the best broker in this world!" – Anna S.
