I was a first time homebuyer I was nervous, scared and overwhelmed by the entire process. Mary was a rockstar, she is knowledgeable, attentive, kind and honest. She talked me through all my what ifs and nervous moments with kindness and honesty. I really truly felt Mary had my back and wanted what was best for me. I spent so much time working with her and talking to her while looking for a house after I had made an offer I found myself thinking man I miss Mary! I highly recommend her for sure.

As a first time home buyer, Mary Shelsby was a wonderful real estate agent: she attentively listened to our "must haves" and "nice to haves" checklist of things my husband and I were looking for in a home. Mary also researched home in surburbs we had not considered that had many of our must haves as well most of our "nice to haves" off of our checklist. One if those homes is the one we put an offer on at about $5,000 under the listing price, our offered got accepted and we've enjoyed many a family and friends gatherings in, for almost 10 years now! We love our home and we love our neighborhood! Thank you Mary!

When I met Mary, she was the realtor for the house that I fell in love with online. I didn't have a realtor myself, but instantly trusted Mary to represent me as the buyer in addition to the seller. She was more than fair and honest. My experience buying my first (and last) home couldn't be beat. I will forever be grateful for Mary. She's kept up with me over the years too, making sure I am still happy. You bet I am! Thank you, Mary.

My wife and I worked wth Mary when buying our first house. We had worked with a different agent before and ended up stopping our house search as we didn't work well together. Mary helped us from day 1 to make sure we understood the process and were getting a good deal. She thought of so many things we never would. We are very grateful that she was there to get us in our lovely home!

Mary is very realistic, approachable, and a great devil's advocate. She has been able to help us gauge the amount of work that needs to be done in the homes we've looked at, and makes sure you understand what you're purchasing as you walk through the houses. She is thorough and knowledgeable about the process of buying a home.

Mary was our realtor when we purchased a home in 2012. She was knowledgeable, professional and personable. Buying a home can be overwhelming and stressful but Mary made it easy. I would highly recommend her!

Mary has been our realtor not once, but three time. She was amazingly knowledgable of the local market, and helped guide us through the buying and selling process. We have 4 kids and they all affectionally refer to her as Ms. Mary because of how she treated all of us through the stressful process of moving a large family. If you are looking for a realtor, look no further. She knows her stuff!

If you are not working with Mary, seriously, you are working with the wrong person. She's one of the most effective, professional realtors i've worked with - and she has stuck with me through thick and thin.

She's sold my homes, my family's homes and is finding us new ones. AND, our kids love her =)

When my husband and I wanted to start our search to find our first home, we met Mary and immediately liked her and felt comfortable with her. I had been concerned about finding someone we liked to work with because I knew we would potentially be spending a decent amount of time together and would be in some high-stress situations. In the personality department, Mary far exceeded our expectations. Over the years, we have worked with Mary to buy two houses and sell a house, and finding both houses was a bit of a long and arduous process, but Mary was consistently patient and helpful. We never felt pressured by her, and we had the utmost respect in her opinions and experience. When Mary helped us sell our house, she went above and beyond to ensure our listing was advertised properly, and she was more than gracious with her time with showings and open houses. I can�t say enough good things about working with Mary. The only downside is of her finding a house for you or selling your house is that then you don�t get to hang out with her as much. We really did form what I would consider a special bond, though, and I'm always thrilled when we cross paths. (One time she caught wind of my daughter's lemonade sale, and since she was in between showings she popped over!) She really became like a member of the family.

I met Mary twelve years ago when she helped my husband and I buy our first home. She was patient and knowledgeable with us as first time buyers, and genuinely invested in the process with us. We hired Mary again (and again) as we relocated and our family grew and our lives changed. We never lost that sense of personal connection and investment. I think that kind of commitment and compassion in business is rare. I like knowing Mary and I am so thankful that she's been a person I can trust in a time of transition. I recommend her without reservation.

Mary is wonderful. I worked with her before she got into realty, and knew that this was her calling. So when my husband and I were in the market to buy our home, we went with Mary and, in fact, were her first customers. Mary was very helpful in finding exactly what we were looking for. She took the worry and stress from us.

I have worked with Mary on a several real estate transactions, and have always been impressed by her knowledge, experience and work ethic.

It was great to work with Mary! She was able to work with me on what I wanted in a house and location, that also fit in my budget. She always made herself available when I had free time to house hunt. When we found the perfect house for me she guided me through the whole process from making an offer to the closing. I was a first time home buyer and she made it very easy and stress free for me. I would recommend Mary Shelsby to any one looking for a loyal, experienced, real estate agent who knows her stuff!

I bought my home 10 years ago, I was a first time buyer. I was so nervous/scared, Mary made me feel cocomfortable right from the start. She answered all my questions. When my best friend was looking to buy I told her to give Mary a call. She had a great experience as well. :)

Looking for an agent that is the closest thing to perfect? Mary is the one to call! At least in our eyes. Not only did Mary help us buy our first house, but she helped us sell it years later.She showed us several houses we were interested in.Looking back, she was incredibly patient as we were not even sure what to look for.She helped us identify what was most important to us in a house and helped us figure out what would work with our goals as a family.She made the process easy as well as educational, which to this day, proved to be something we will be forever grateful for.You can trust her completely.It wasn't just a sale to her.The biggest thing was she was always in touch and easy to get a hold of.We moved out of state and did not have the same experience with a realtor here unfortunately.No communication is one of the most frustrating things when buying a house we found out.She still keeps in touch with us after all these years.She is the real deal!

I have purchased two homes with Mary and sold one. Each transaction went smoothly. Her calm demeanor helps reduce stress in what can be a stressful situation. She is always responsive and follows up with communication so we knew where we stood in the process every step of the way. She knows the local market well and clearly explains all the details of buying and selling a home and is happy to answer any questions.

She was helpful in looking at our house and giving suggestions for staging and took great pictures , which she used in several different marketing avenues to get our house sold.

She listens to what you are looking for and guides you through the process but ensures you make the decisions about your home.

I have recommended Mary to friends and am very happy we used her as our realtor.

Mary helped me sell my home a couple of years ago, and she really kept my focus on just the right things, without overdoing anything, which was my goal. Just tell her what you need, and she will deliver!! She came with high ratings via a family member, who also was very happy with her services!

When we were looking for a house Mary met us first at Tim Hortons to get our information and talk about what we were looking for. Then she set up houses in our price range to show us and get more of a feel about what we wanted.Then we found one and she helped us step by step all the way to the closing. And stayed friends with us ever since.unlike other sales people who move on to the next money maker account and forget the past. We felt like we didn't just have a realtor,we made a new friend.

We recently sold our house in North Winton Village with Mary. She was absolutely awesome! We had interviewed several other agents before Mary was recommended by a friend. From the moment she stepped into our house I knew we were going to go with her. She has an amazing ability to pick out details of a home, and make you feel good about what you've put into your home. She made several recommendations, including putting together a house scrap book to show prospective buyers why we loved our home.

Her amazing ability to market our house is what sold it. She made the ultimate digital presentation, and a fantastic brochure for the open house. We were also very impressed by the fact that she marketed on zillow in addition to the other "traditional" sites. She goes above and beyond to market her properties.

Our house was very unique to the neighborhood, and with Mary we were able to break the usual market boundary of our neighborhood. She was very supportive during the entire process, always available, and always our "cheerleader". Once we signed a contract she helped facilitate a meeting with the owners so we could share with them the idiosyncrasies of our 90 year old home.

When we left the Rochester area, Mary came to see us off. I have already recommended her to 2 other sellers, and can wholeheartedly say that she is an absolutely amazing agent!

This knowledge combined with her compassionate personality bring a calmness to the potential stressful experience of home buying and selling. Mary walks you through each step of the process with constant communication to your needs, wants, and emotions. She is very approachable and accessible. She takes fantastic photographs! I have recommended her to numerous friends and family who have all raved of her service.

We bought our first house with Mary almost 9 years ago! We were new to the area and wanted to start a family in the near future. We wanted a decent home with a good school district. We decided on a house in Lima. We are located in Livonia Schools and are very happy with our decision! We are still in our very first house that we purchased with her! :)

Let me first say, beyond just doing her job, Mary Shelby is one of the most polite people I have ever met. As an agent, Mary maintains her personality with a strong dose of professionalism; she is what people would call a "straight shooter". Being a first time home buyer, Mary held my hand throughout the entire process allotting me the use of her knowledge and experience.
