Testimonials “Mary Jones is a phenomenal real estate broker and person. She recently listed my son’s home in Wash Park and was so knowledgeable, professional and personable. It was an easy process to list the house and quickly sell it. Mary presented thorough market research and data to help zero in on the perfect asking price, which ultimately was the selling price. Throughout the selling process, Mary’s diligence and attention to details, as well as her excellent communication skills, helped with negotiations with the buyer and their broker. The deal closed quickly thanks to Mary. With her knowledge of markets and communities in Denver, Mary is THE real estate broker you want to work with. She constantly analyzes market data to guide her clients throughout the buying or selling process. While my experience with Mary was selling a property, my friends who have used Mary to buy homes have had the same exceptional experience. Mary is dedicated to building long-lasting relationships with clients. She is always professional, communicative and delightful. You will not be dissatisfied if you choose Mary Jones.” - KATHY S. -

“Words can’t even describe how lucky we feel to have had Mary Jones as our real estate agent! Her reputation as one of the top real estate agents in the Denver and surrounding areas is well deserved, but doesn’t even begin to do her justice. Mary recently helped us sell our home, offering expert advice for pricing, timing of listing, staging and showing our home. We had over 65 showings in 3 days due to her marketing skills! Mary’s focus was always based on what was best for us, negotiating a “rent back” situation to suit our needs, and getting us way over our original asking price. Mary’s knowledge, personal attention and availability (especially with regards to details and explanation of contracts) really helped make a difficult and emotional situation less stressful. She truly cares about her clients without regard for the size or price of the property. We can’t say enough about Mary! She is WONDERFUL and we would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She truly is the BEST!” - RHEA W. -

“Mary Jones is an amazing realtor. She is professional, responsive, and kind. During the process she fought for us. She insisted the seller support us by installing A/C (a must in our two story home). Mary is family friendly, has wonderful taste, and doesn’t settle. I recommend her to anyone looking to purchase real estate. She has helped us purchase two homes now, and I hope to use her again in the future. If you want to sell a house, if you need to buy a house, then you need Mary Jones. From my Dad’s home in Denver, to our son and daughter in law’s funky fantastic bungalow in Englewood, to our daughter’s million dollar house in Platte Park, she does it all! And she does it all with equal enthusiasm and diligence, no matter the size or the value of the property! Mary treated every house and family with the dignity and respect that it deserved. She sold each of our family houses within a DAY OR TWO of going on the market for full, if not more, of the asking price! She helped my Dad with such kindness and compassion, and for that we are truly grateful. She found our daughter and her family the house of their dreams in the perfect neighborhood to raise their boys, and is working non-stop, going through listings and homes with a fine tooth comb, to find just the right place for our son and his wife. And she will. For us, what stands out about Mary is that she does her job with such heart. She understands that to sell a house can be emotional and sentimental, and to buy a house can be joyful, exciting, and maybe a little scary, so she brings such calm to the process by doing her job meticulously, honestly, with transparency and integrity. We all trusted her completely, which allowed us to go through the process more relaxed and at ease. It is obvious that Mary loves what she does, as she puts her heart and soul, lots of hard work, and her great sense of humor into every venture. I have and will continue to recommend Mary Jones to everyone I know who is ready for a change. My feeling is that Mary doesn’t just find you a house. She finds you your home.” - JENNA N. -

“Mary recently handled a sale and purchase for us and both transactions literally went flawlessly. She found the perfect new house ( in a very tight Denver market) and emailed us at 9:30 PM so we could schedule an early showing the next day. Our offer was so well crafted that the sellers accepted without any negotiation and we closed in a matter of weeks. Our existing house sold through Mary’s office without even hitting the market or needing fix up or staging. Again, her guidance on pricing was right on. Mary updated us consistently. She is very responsive, knowledgable and fun to work with! There many excellent realtors in Denver, Mary is truly one of the best!!” - LAUREN F. -

BUYERS ALWAYS DETERMINE VALUE How do buyers determine value? When you bought this home, how did you establish value? By comparing your home to others that were for sale at the time. Buyers still determine the value of a home by comparison shopping. If your home is over-priced, you simply assist others in the quicker sale of their home.

Strategic Pricing for the Best Exposure Timing and pricing for your home is imperative to a satisfactory sale. Your Kentwood broker will help you analyze these factors to get the best price in the best time.
PRICING ABOVE FAIR MARKET VALUE WILL ATTRACT FEWER BUYERS

Timing is Everything A new listing will generate interest from brokers and potential buyers. After they have viewed the property, interest will decline, which makes it crucial to list your property at the right price when it first goes on the market.
