In real estate, the best results come from experience, energy, and heart—qualities that define the powerhouse duo of Ann Osborne and Margaret. Together, they bring the perfect balance of wisdom and drive to every client they serve.
For over 30 years, Ann Osborne has helped families find home with compassion, grit, and a deep sense of purpose. What began as a way to stay home with her four young kids has grown into a lifelong career built on trust and service.

With a background in fast food management and communications, Ann built her business on connection and adaptability. Her greatest reward? Helping people reach their goals. Whether she’s showing homes or relaxing on her 20-acre farm with her dogs, Ann brings warmth and perspective to everything she does.
Margaret’s journey into real estate came after a major life and career shift. Looking for something with more freedom and purpose, she found her calling in helping others navigate home buying with clarity and confidence.

Now ten years in, she blends discipline, creativity, and passion in every transaction. With a background in fitness and health sales, Margaret brings unmatched energy—and her love for interior design helps clients see the potential in every space.

REALTOR & SALESPERSON
For more than 20 years, Mary Ann Hare has been a steady, compassionate force in the world of real estate. Known for her unwavering empathy and values-driven service, Mary Ann brings more than just experience to the table—she brings heart. “My goal has always been to walk the journey with my clients,” Mary Ann says. “Whether it’s a joyful move or one filled with uncertainty, I want to be the calm in the storm, the voice of reason, and the support system they didn’t know they needed.”
A Calling Born from Experience
Mary Ann’s real estate journey began not from textbooks, but from life experience. After moving multiple times with her husband Keith’s career in pharmaceutical sales and management, she encountered more than a few lackluster real estate experiences.
“We knew there had to be a better way,” she recalls. “That realization planted a seed in my heart—to help others have a smoother, more personal experience.”
That spark led her to leave behind her earlier roles in accounting, children’s ministry, and even founding a Christian preschool, to pursue a calling that combined her professional skills with her deep care for people.
More Than a Career — A Ministry
What sets Mary Ann apart is what clients often refer to as her “real estate superpower”: empathy and compassion. These traits, she says, were instilled early by her parents, whom she calls her heroes. “They taught me the value of hard work, caring for others, and building a life centered on faith and family. Those values still guide me today.” Whether helping a newlywed couple purchase their first home or guiding a family through the emotional process of selling their childhood house, Mary Ann treats each transaction like it’s her own.
A Legacy of Love and Service
When she’s not helping families find the perfect home, Mary Ann is living out her faith through church ministry and mission work. She and Keith love to travel, especially when it involves visiting their children and grandchildren. Family vacations—whether in a mountain cabin or a beachside condo—are her perfect getaway, filled with puzzles, games, laughter, and yes, a little good-natured arguing. She’s also passionate about Operation Christmas Child and the American Red Cross, two organizations that hold deep personal significance. “When I think of kids around the world getting those shoebox gifts—some of whom are just like my grandkids who were adopted from Sierra Leone—it hits home in a powerful way.”
Mary Ann Hare
At the core of Mary Ann’s approach is a clear definition of success: “When my behavior and my actions match my values.” It's not just a quote—it’s the standard she holds herself to every day. She doesn’t see retirement in her near future. “Who’s going to retire?!” she laughs. But if you ask about her bucket list, she’ll light up talking about her recent dream trip to Italy, where she walked the streets of her grandfather’s hometown in Perugia. “It was surreal. Emotional. Unforgettable.” Real Estate, The Right Way
If there’s one part of the business that still tugs at her heartstrings, it’s when deals fall through. “These aren't just transactions—they’re people’s lives. When something falls apart, it’s hard not to carry some of that weight.” But it's precisely that empathy that makes Mary Ann one of the most beloved agents in her community. With every closing, every phone call, every hand held during a difficult move, she brings a presence that reassures, encourages, and uplifts. For Mary Ann Hare, real estate isn’t just about keys and contracts—it’s about connection. Want to work with Mary Ann?
