Mary is hands down the best realtor to go with when buying or selling a home. My wife and I recently bought a home and Mary played a pivotal role in the entire process. We looked at buying a home last year and our realtor left us feeling so unsatisfied and frustrated that we just stopped the whole process. This year when we decided to go with Mary, I was already highly skeptical due to our experience with our past realtor. Mary was a breath of fresh air. She is honest and is always looking out for what is best for you and your family. She went above and beyond to make sure that we were satisfied and talked us through every step. There is no one else that we would go with. When looking for a realtor go with the person who is going to always have your back and that is Mary Hand. Thank you again Mary.

Mary was amazing to work with!
My husband and I worked with quite a few realtors over a 3 year period. Some were pushy, most didn't care what we wanted, none of them wanted a contingency, 1 even told us she refused to work with us until we educated ourselves on buying a home....this was our 2nd home purchase by the way. We were frustrated until Mary Hand showed up to show us a random home we saw online that we requested to see. Right off the bat she was down to earth and we felt so comfortable. The home turned out to be really gross and we continued to apologize for inconveniencing her for this showing. She put us at ease and told us that this was her job and it might take awhile but we will find it. She asked if she could help us and we agreed and told her what we were looking for. I warned her that I was SUPER picky since this was going to be our forever home I didn't want to compromise really on anything. Also, my husband and I had completely different tastes that somehow had to blend. She didn't even mind it and always made herself available to show us homes. Sometimes only one of us could come to the showings and that didn't annoy her like it did other realtors we worked with.
She let us take the lead when we wanted to but still assisted greatly. We saw so many homes but none of them felt right. She calmed our worry and told us not to force it, when it is right we will know. She even pointed out things about a home that we forgot about wanting, so we know she was listening to us about our wish list! We thought we found our home a few times and made some offers, but in the end we were not comfortable offering too high or going into a bidding war. Mary was also supportive through that. One day we walked into a house and we felt that feeling that we had with our first house, so we knew that was the one! We made an offer that night after much help from Mary. The next day as we were waiting for the seller's decision, I was worried that maybe we made a mistake, so Mary showed me the home again all by myself at the last minute. She still has no idea how much I appreciated that. They accepted our offer under asking and it was time to put our home on the market! I was pretty demanding on the price I wanted to list our home, and although it was a long shot Mary was all game and not scared of the challenge! She held an open house within a day of it going on the market and sold it immediately over asking! Everything we asked of Mary she did it, or got it for us, or answered it, etc. I am sad we don't get to work with Mary still and see her all the time, but she did her job extremely well and made our entire family happy. So this we will forever be grateful for. Thanks Mary for everything, anyone would be a fool to not work with you!
