I couldn't have asked for a better agent. I had to do a short sale on my house because I could no longer afford to make my large mortgage payments. Someone from ZipRealty referred me to Mary Baron and I began my home-searching journey in December of 2011. I told Mary my story, and we agreed that I needed to pay 'cash' for this next house since I would not qualify for a home loan. She suggested that I purchase a condominium or townhouse - but I stressed the need for a yard because I had two dogs. I also told her that my most fundamental need was to live in a safe neighborhood. We closed escrow almost a year later on a beautiful two-bedroom, two-bath manufactured home - exactly where Mary had wanted me to end up since the very beginning of our search because she believed that this development had all of the amenities I desired – including a backyard for my dogs. We conceded that it was 'meant to be' when the sellers accepted my offer. I am forever grateful to Mary for her patience, thoughtfulness, diligence and perseverance.

Mary is wonderful ! She really made me feel that there was someone on MY side during the entire transaction. She also gave me excellent, concerned advice to help me keep my other agent (selling my home out of this area) on his toes and to protect my interests. Mary is such a sweetie and I feel that besides getting a new home, I now have a new friend !

Above all, Mary was stellar at all the minutia follow-through that is required in successfully completing a transaction. Her local knowledge of neighborhoods, trades people, title companies, and other agents really set her apart and helped to reduce the stress in our purchase process. She really enjoys helping people and it shows.
