Mary was an absolute angel and the perfect realtor for us when it came to buying our first home! Although my wife and I had very busy schedules, she was able to find potentially good listings for us and screen them with us efficiently before booking them (in a very efficient and effective manner during the small and sometimes awkward time slots where my wife and I were both available). Her experience and wisdom at these showings were invaluable as she taught us what things brought value and character to a house and which things did not. When we made the move to put an offer in on a house, she was an exceptionally effective negotiator and was able to improve the price by far more than we expected. Additionally she went above and beyond in doing her due diligence and uncovering any potential deficiencies even before we committed to signing the contract and getting a formal inspector. For example we were very interested in one house and had already put in an offer but through the process, before even getting an inspector involved, Mary uncovered documentation independently on the house that allowed us to make the appropriate decision to pull out of that deal. Overall her negotiation skill, integrity, efficiency, and kindness make her the best realtor that we could imagine and I have no reservations in recommending her highly to anyone looking to buy a home in Greater Vancouver.
