Mary resides in Rye with her husband and three daughters. Mary is uniquely positioned to offer firsthand insight into the home-building process, having personally collaborated with her husband, a contractor in Westchester, on the construction of their own home. This hands-on experience has given her a deep understanding of the complexities involved in building a home—from selecting the right materials and navigating the design process to managing timelines and working with contractors. Through this journey, Mary has gained invaluable knowledge that she now shares with her clients, guiding them with confidence and clarity. Whether they are looking to build their dream home or are interested in understanding the construction process during a real estate transaction, Mary is able to provide practical advice and recommendations, ensuring her clients are well-informed every step of the way.

In her spare time, Mary enjoys biking along the boardwalk with her family, exploring new restaurants in Westchester, cherishing moments at the beach with loved ones and planning the next family adventure!

Testimonials

Mary is an incredible realtor and a true gem. She has been by our side throughout the entire process of selling our home and navigating the journey of buying a new one, making what could have been overwhelming feel seamless and even enjoyable. When it came to selling, Mary’s expertise and strategy were unmatched. She helped us stage the house, coordinate two open houses, and navigate multiple bids, ultimately selling our home in just two days for the price we wanted. She also has an extensive network of trusted professionals—contractors, photographer, and handymen—who helped us make key improvements to get the house market-ready. Her deep knowledge of the Rye real estate market was invaluable—she knows this area inside and out and guided us every step of the way. As we continue our journey of buying a new home, Mary has been just as amazing. She has helped us navigate a challenging and competitive market, always coming prepared with solutions and a thoughtful approach. She is incredibly patient, kind, and proactive, ensuring we stay informed and confident in our decisions. Beyond her professionalism, Mary’s positive attitude has made all the difference.

Ixel and Mario Montanini

Mary was always there to support us and offer guidance from start to finish. We felt that she understood our wants and needs which enabled us make a house purchase decision after years of looking with someone else. She took the stress away from us, because we knew she was double checking. Lastly, she had good vendor recommendations and was easy to be around. All things needed in this easily stressful process!

Mary was positively incredible. Not only was she an amazing broker but she truly became a friend. She thought of everything and ensured that we were taken care of throughout the entire process. I always felt as if Mary was looking out for our family. She connected us with local experts and was always available for any question or concern that we had. We cannot recommend her enough. She is an expert in the market. I will be sure to refer all of our family / friends to Mary. We would love to work with Mary again!

Colin and Ali Winrow

Mary was fabulous in every way!! She is thoughtful, responsive, honest and a pleasure to work with. My son and I worked with Mary on finding a rental in Westchester and, although we ended up choosing another location, she was gracious and always helpful. I would definitely call upon Mary again if we have any real estate needs.
