Working with Mary is always an absolute blessing! She helped us with both purchasing and selling of our first home. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, proactive, and kind, but she goes above and beyond for her clients. We were out of state for medical care during the majority of the process of selling our home, and Mary stepped in to do everything she could to make the process stress-free for us. She handled everything quickly, efficiently, and with so much grace. We are so thankful for everything Mary has done for us, as a real estate professional and as a friend. She truly makes the process of buying or selling of a home simple and stress-free.

Mary made the entire home buying experience as easy and pain free as possible. She is very knowledgeable about the Hampton Roads area and truly goes the extra mile for her clients. She is a great listener and takes the time to understand her clients' needs and educates them on the market and how to win in the ever changing real estate landscape. I would give her 10 stars if I could!

My husband and I were first time home buyers and as first time home buyers, we did not know how and where to start. We were looking for a real estate agent to walk us through the process. Mary was highly recommended by a friend and we did not regret having her as our agent. She knows her craft very well. She's always available for us especially when we were interested to view a property. She is honest and trustworthy. Mary, you did an amazing job for us. We love our 🏠 house. Thank you so much for all your help.

Very helpful and friendly realtor. Willing to go above and beyond for her clients even after they've bought their home. She even helped my girlfriend and I get heat in our home after the gas company had made a mistake. Definitely a lifelong relationship when you work with her.

Working with Mary was great experience! She made the home buying process quick and easy for us! Within one week of meeting, we purchased our first house! She was quick to respond to our questions and made sure we stayed on top of the paperwork. I would recommend Mary to anyone, you won’t be disappointed!

Mary was fantastic. We first met her back in 2020 when she helped us buy our first house and she was so amazing through that entire process. We looked at over 50 houses and had to deal with the crazy market of having houses be gone in a few hours. After we bought our house Mary stayed in touch, she invited us to a few client appreciation events and checked in to see how we were doing. We then reached out to her when we were moving and needed to sell our house and she was so helpful through that entire process. There were some hiccups with the buyer that were navigated beautifully with Mary's experience. We would absolutely recommend Mary to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

First off, this is the realtor you want. I was a Realtor for over a year and have worked with many other Realtors. Mary is the best one I've worked which is awesome because she was helping US buy a home. We lived in NC while we were searching for homes in VA Beach. We didn't know how we were going to find a home while living 7 hours away, but Mary offered to do virtual showings for us.
A house popped up that fit what we were looking for and Mary let us know and proactively asked if we wanted to see it. We put an offer in that night and it was accepted in the morning. The next morning after the house was listed, there were over 100 showing and multiple offers. The sellers accepted ours because it was first. If not for the hard work of Mary, we would not have gotten our dream home.
Having the right Realtor makes all the difference. Mary Barclay is the right Realtor for you. You will not be disappointed. She took care of so much leg work for us. She even gave suggestions for things I didn't want to deal with or had no idea about. She went waaaayyy above and beyond for us and I can't tell you how much we appreciated it.
Again, the best Realtor I've ever worked with.

Mary came to me very highly recommended and she still managed to surpass my expectations!! This was my first home purchase and she was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, attentive, charismatic, and responsive/timely! Additionally, I was an out of town buyer and she truly went the extra mile for me during the entire process. She listened to my requests and found awesome properties, always made sure to get a tour as soon as possible, and even FaceTimed me during tours of the properties so I could still see the property real time. Her many years of experience we clearly apparent as she effortlessly guided me through every step of the way. When it came time to make an offer I feel like she truly listened to me and we were able to come up with a creative and aggressive offer to get me the perfect house I’d been hoping for! Now that I have moved in to my new property she has continued to check in occasionally to make sure the transition has been smooth and any questions I have are still being answered. She even left me a sweet note and some housewarming gifts on my day of closing, a really sweet personal touch! If you ever need a realtor definitely use Mary, you won’t be disappointed!!

I'd like to start out by saying as an homeowner (love saying that now) I would not have wanted a better house! Mary made my first time home buying experience fantastic! She helped my fur baby and I find the perfect townhome in VA. Not only was she great during the house searching process, but even after closing. I could count on Mary for any household needs, and even when I decide to get my 2nd property! Thanks Mary!

We are a military family, that was trying to buy a house out of state. Mary did so much virtual for us, facetime showings, over-the-phone conversations, lenders over the phone, etc. She was so professional and took her time with us to find a home that meant our needs! She answered any of my questions I had during the process and stayed on top of home inspections, home inspection repairs, appraisals, and got us to closing! We couldn't thank her enough for helping us find our forever home! We would truly recommend Mary to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

We cannot say enough great things about our home buying experience with Mary as our realtor. We relocated from out of state to the Virginia area and Mary’s knowledge and expertise helped us buy the perfect home. We were particular about the area and school district that we wanted, and Mary was patient with us as we waited for a house to come available in that area. Mary communicated with us daily and made sure we were informed through the entire process and answered all questions that arose. A lot of the home buying process was done via FaceTime for us and never once did we feel uneasy about the process. Mary was quick to schedule showings for us and able to view most of them the same day.
In addition, Mary was able to recommend and schedule a trusted home inspector for us. She was able to secure a home inspection the day after our offer was accepted, so that we could be present for the home inspection. Mary also recommended local mortgage lender for us after our trusted bank failed to meet our expectations.
Mary went above and beyond for us, and we are truly thankful for her and the wonderful experience we had buying a home with her as our relator. We will be recommending her for years to come!

My wife and I were first time home buyers and didn’t know anything about the process and were a little hesitant going into it. Mary came highly recommended from co-workers who she had helped purchase a home in the area. Mary was extremely helpful in helping us understand the process from start to finish. When she first told us that the whole process would take about 30 days we were skeptical. We looked at a lot of properties within the next two weeks and found a place that was just what we were looking for. Mary was in contact with us daily even though we started the process just before Christmas. Everything went way smoother than I could have ever imagined and we are in our new home and it took less than the 30 days she had said it could take. Mary is extremely knowledgeable and worked with us one on one to make sure we were getting the best price possible. From here on out if I know anyone looking to buy a house in this area, I will always recommend her.

I just have to say, I typically do not write reviews on other Realtors, however I just had to in this case! Mary was the buying agent and I was the listing agent of our transaction, and the entire process was exceptionally wonderful! Mary was very easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, very responsive and she helped make this real estate transaction one of the best! I highly recommend Mary to complete your real estate transaction, she will take the best care of you and she will work with the other agent involved perfectly to get the deal completed to close on time!! You can have complete confidence in Mary to assist you in anyway that she is able to!! Mary, it was awesome to work with you, and I hope we are able to work together again!

I have so much to say when it comes to having Mary as our realtor. Where should I even start? She has been absolutely incredible and helpful all throughout. My husband and I are first-time homebuyers and despite our constant indecision and all the hurdles any buyer may face due to the current housing market climate, Mary knew how to navigate through it all and she always had our backs. No matter the time of the day she was always there to accommodate us. You know you’ve found the best realtor when he/she 1.) knows the market so well 2.) always has the clients’ best interest 3.) is proactive 4.) has topnotch negotiation skills 5.) will go above and beyond for his/her clients. That’s all the things you will learn about Mary. We are so thankful we came across her during our initial home search. From having absolutely no clue regarding the whole home-buying process to knowing all the real estate terms like a pro, we have Mary to thank. Even after closing she always made sure my husband and I are doing well in our new home. Buying a home is as stressful as it is, so you absolutely need a good realtor. I cannot emphasize this enough: Mary is the best out there! She made the whole process seamless for us. In a nutshell, kick back and relax because Mary will do her magic!

Mary is THE BEST realtor we could’ve ever asked for hands down. My boyfriend and I were first time home buyers and going into it we knew nothing of what to expect! We found Mary through Zillow and she took the time to sit down with us, and walk us through the home buying process in a way that was so simple and easy to understand. Buying your first home can be stressful, but Mary was truly our rock through the whole experience. She kept us smiling and laughing the whole way with her positive, upbeat, optimistic attitude. Mary worked so hard in helping us find and achieve the perfect home, always so eager to help and be helpful. We could not have went with a better choice! Mary you rock!

The realtor of all Realtor's! She showed us plenty of houses in our range and area of choice. She even monitored the houses that we liked but had contingent offer just in case it fell through. Low and behold one she was keeping an eye on fell through, she immediately showed it to us before any others had a chance to get in and show it, she immediately dropped our offer in record time and it was excepted. Throughout the rest of the process she kept in constant contact with our mortgage company telling us information hours before the mortgage contacted us. She had the deal clear to close in 10 days even though we requested 30 days. THANK YOU Mary!!!!!!!!!

Bottom line, Mary is the Best!
We reached out to Mary in early January 2021 to discuss possibly selling our home of 16 years and looking for a new home that better met our needs and wants. Mary was very detailed and took her time to answer all of our questions and provide great advice as we prepared our home for listing. When listing day came, we had over 40 showings and almost 20 competitive offers over the course of a weekend. Mary took care of everything and expertly handled scheduling these showings to give each potential buyer their own time to view our home. Most of our offers were for above asking price and Mary was able to negotiate with our selected buyer tollgate allowed us to rent back while we continued to look for our next home. Closing went very smoothly and again Mary took care of everything.
All the while Mary jumped every time we found a listing we wanted to see. She always made time for us and we never waited more than a half day to view any house that we wanted, with most occurring within a couple hours. Mary was very patient as we began to narrow in on the type of home and location we preferred. When the time came and we found a house to put an offer on, she provided excellent, current, and sound advice regarding our offer strategy. The current market is extremely competitive and we worked together to not only write now standard escalation clauses on our offer, but also implemented a similar strategy to include escalations to our guarantee above appraised value. Doing so not only allowed us to offer a competitive guarantee, but protected us from over paying when compared to other offers. This proved a winning strategy. We were very fortunate to have our first offer accepted and the credit all goes to Mary.
In addition, Mary assembled for us a trusted team of attorneys, home inspector, septic inspector, and mortgage lender. Our experience with them all was top notch and I will be leaving reviews for them all.
Our experience with Mary was absolutely awesome. While we plan to be in our new home for a long time, I would run back to Mary if we ever need help buying or selling a home. I highly recommend her without hesitation.

We moved five times over the last eight years and engaged the service of a real estate agent every time. Mary was the best. Most if not all agents are professional and appear to be personal and caring; if they are not they would not last very long. What is different about Mary is that she genuinely cares about her clients and goes out of her way to do what is best for the clients. She is also very careful with details and proactive. In our case she talked with the selling agent carefully and matched our mutual needs. She also helped us to take care of all the details in the transaction; she even found a mover and a handyman for us. We are very happy with her service and the home we bought through her.

Mary is absolutely incredible! I don't think I have met anyone quite as perky as she is, she is so easy to talk to, I never felt dumb when I thought I was asking the weirdest of questions. She takes you under her wing and lets you know everything, the great and the bad. Her responsiveness is impeccable, if you ask her a question she gets to back to so quick. If it is a question she doesn't know, she finds out the answer from another trusted resource. She was always upfront about everything, from scheduling conflicts to prices. She truly is fantastic, she is like a second mom. She made the home buying experience exciting and made us feel confident in buying our first home.

Mary is the absolute best! She was amazing throughout the entire process. She was very caring and it felt like we were hanging out with a friend, a very knowledgeable friend. We found a house right away but then we decided to back out and Mary was right there with more options for us to go look at. We went and looked at so many houses and it seemed like we wouldn't find another one that we loved but Mary never gave up and encouraged us to keep our spirits up. Then we found our house and we loved it instantly. Mary put the offer in and we heard back that night that we got it and we were so excited. From that point on Mary took care of everything and made sure to keep us informed and to check in with us if we had any questions. The whole closing process went very smoothly because of Mary and when there were any issues with the house, Mary was very good about reaching out to the selling agent to get them figured out. I would highly recommend Mary to anyone thinking of buying a home or selling their home, she is the best.

Mary was great to have as our realtor. She was highly knowledgeable on the home buying process and gave good recommendations while we were looking at houses. The home we purchased took a long time due to repairs that needed to be done and Mary was extremely persistent with the seller to ensure everything was getting done correctly and on time. She also always made a point of making sure we were up to date on the progress every day and was always available to answer our questions. Mary is also just a great person to know and made our time looking for houses fun and enjoyable! I highly recommend anyone looking to have an enjoyable and less stressful time while buying a house to go with Mary as their realtor!

We listed our home for sale 5 times over the past twelve years with different agents. It was a beautiful home in mint condition but for whatever reason it never sold so we had to keep renting it. Abruptly our tenant informed us that they had to break their lease because of job loss during COVID19. We couldn't leave the house on the market for long but thought it was worth a shot to try list it again so we called Mary. Mary got it sold in just 15 days! That was really life altering for us. She was efficient, organized, personable, highly responsive and always prompt. She went above and beyond in so many ways. You simply wont find a more professional agent. We recommend her highly and without reservation - you wont regret it. There's just something about Mary!
