About Mary
My career is built on the pillars of passion, focus, drive, and caring. Having spent a lifetime in the heart of Chicago's North Shore, I am captivated by the vibrant people, rich culture, and exquisite
architecture that define this region. My relentless focus on the significance of Home guides my clients through the buying or selling process with precision and determination.
To truly understand the marketplace, I leverage my extensive interior design expertise to reveal the hidden potential of each home. Knowing the unique character and history of neighborhoods, coupled
with a genuine passion for real estate, empowers me to provide a comprehensive service that goes beyond expectations.
As an effective negotiator and communicator, I represent my clients with goal-driven tenacity, compassionate understanding, and utmost integrity. Consistently ranking among the top 3% agents in my
market, my commitment to excellence is reflected in my in-depth community and market knowledge, creative marketing strategies, and effective negotiation skills.
Beyond real estate, I find joy in various pursuits such as exercising, trying new recipes, hiking, wine tasting, and enjoying cultural and sporting events. With 15 years of success as an interior
designer on the North Shore, I bring a unique perspective to every transaction. My professional affiliations, including membership in the Illinois Association of REALTORS and North Shore Barrington Association of REALTORS, further enhance my ability to serve
your real estate needs.
Trust in my experience as a Certified Luxury Home Market Specialist (CHLMS), Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR), Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE), and Short Sale, Foreclosure, and REO Certified
(SFR). As a member of TAN (Top Agent Network) and various community organizations, including 30 years as a wish granter for the Make A Wish Foundation and a role on the NSBAR Ethics Committee, I bring a well-rounded and dedicated approach to every aspect of
real estate.
Elevate your real estate journey with Mary – where Home is not just a destination but an unparalleled experience.

Mary was very motivated, attentive, and thorough during the whole process and she made it very simple. We sold the house within a matter of days and Mary was very pleasant to work with. She’s very professional and knows her market!

Energetic professional with fabulous marketing skills and tools! Detail oriented and covers everything from A to Z. Mary knows how to build and cultivate relationships. She listens and acknowledges your wishes. Mary doesn't paint a rosy picture just to sign a client she educates the client on market conditions and works with them to develop trouble free transactions. Last but not least she has an excellent eye and her staging of your home is unprecedented!
Highly recommend!
