Mary Ann is an exceptional agent--the best I've ever seen. She worked with us for almost six months to find us the perfect house. Particularly noteworthy was the research she did that prevented us from buying a house we liked very much, but that was going to have a freeway built on top of it. For that alone, she deserves the highest marks. When we finally placed a contract on a house, Mary Ann served as our surrogate when we could not be in-state for portions of the negotiations. While doing the, she represented our interests as well if not better than we would have. Her attention to detail is phenomenal and her energy and drive to obtain the best deal for us ensured that we achieved our goals in buying this house
