Welcome to MaryListens.com
Thank you for visiting my real estate website. I have included a variety of information to help buyers, sellers, and renters. Please take a moment to see how some of the features and content might help you with your real estate property needs.
Buyers interested in homes, condos, and property for sale please visit my featured listings link in the upper left hand corner of my website or scroll down and view the listings below. You will find a variety of homes, condos, townhomes, land, and even properties for rent. Also, as a buyer or renter please take advantage of my real estate resources as explained on the side of my website below my picture. They are FREE.
Sellers please see my 40 tips I have included at the bottom left party of my website for all people interested in selling their homes or condos. Also, please visit the featured listings - that are not foreclosures - to see some of the quality marketing I put into my real estate listings and how expert presentation and excellent marketing can help you.
While I help buyers and sellers in many areas, my main focus is the southwest suburbs and southwest Chicago area. In 2008, I was the #1 Realtor in Oak Lawn for residential single-family real estate property based on the number of units closed and sales volume. I am thankful to my clients who trusted me to sell their homes or help them find their dream homes and have referred me business over the years because without you this success would not have been possible. |
In a tough market you need a Nationally Awarded Realtor
2009 was a tough year for most people trying to sell their home. If you are someone who has tried to sell your home and was unsuccessful or are thinking about selling your home but are worried about the market I want to offer you an opportunity of hope. If you are serious about selling and want to work with a Realtor who will work for you and make results happen and not just wait for things to happen to your property then I want to help you. The fact is all Realtors are not the same. If we were we would get the same results. We vary based on marketing skills, technological expertise, knowledge of areas, quality of service to clients, and willingness to continue working until your home is sold. Despite the tough past two years my sales are up by 131% and 2009 was my best year ever, including being the #1 Realtor in Oak Lawn and Hometown and the #1 Coldwell Banker agent in the south Chicagoland, northwest Indiana, and southwest Michigan area. This does not just happen by chance. I work hard for my clients by providing them with quality presentations of their home, in-depth knowledge of the real estate market, wide angle high definition photographs, a full time office to provide clients with the service they deserve, and advertising on over 35 popular real estate websites, which most Realtors cannot or are unwilling to offer to their clients. In 2007, I was awarded Realtor Magazine's National "30 under 30" award. I am proud of this accomplishment and consider it affirmation for the years of service to my clients as a Realtor. To read the article please visit Realtor Magazine Online. Your home and financial future is important. You would not pick a doctor to do surgery on you just because you know them or they are a friend of the family. When choosing someone to help you with your home choose someone with a proven track record of results even during the difficult times. Let me help you sell your home today. |
