Emilyand Josh L., Buyer/Seller
“Mary Ann represented us with both the selling of our old house and buying of our new house. She was extremely responsive, well-prepared, knowledgeable, and very attentive to detail. She gave us good suggestions for staging our house, which sold in a few days. When we became somewhat overwhelmed, she helped us with reminders about upcoming deadlines. We can't say enough about how grateful we are for Mary Ann's representation of us and our needs.” ~ Bob and Irene G., Buyer/Seller
“Sold a Single Family home in 2018 in Franktown, CO and Mary Ann assisted my buy in Aurora within a month. Mary Ann was so awesome! She made the process seamless and was always looking out for our best interest. I know she is the best in the business with her attention to detail and thorough follow through. She marketed our location with professionalism and it made a difference.” ~
Valerie G., Buyer/Seller"Mary Ann was so helpful during the home buying process. She kept us well informed, promptly answered all of our many questions, and kept the process moving smoothly. Our young daughter loved getting to know Mary Ann and often asks if she can come live with us in our new home. We have been very happy in our choice of realtors!" ~
Jill & Paul S., Buyers“I can't say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Mary Ann on the purchase of my townhouse. She made me feel empowered the entire process. Mary Ann was available at all times with advice, references, and reassurance. She took the lead on many items I didn't even know needed to be done and made sure I was informed and comfortable the whole process and never made me feel bad for repeatedly asking questions. There are a gazillion real estate agents to chose from; Mary Ann is the right choice!” ~
Tamara T., Buyer"Mary Ann is very knowledgeable about my area and could not have been more helpful! We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell, as she has helped us do both!" ~
Tony & Mary Ann B., Buyer/Seller"Mary Ann is a person I will return to for any real estate transactions. She was very thorough and prepared. Very patient as well (I might add). Her services are top notch and made the stressful experience of property acquisition a very pleasant one. I have already recommended her services to friends and colleagues. Thanks Mary Ann. ~ Gabe R., Buyer
"Mary Ann was very responsive to all of our questions. We enjoyed working with Mary Ann and her team. We liked that all of the documents were sent electronically for us to review and sign. This was convenient for us given our working and travelling schedules. We would rate our overall experience as excellent." ~
Paul S., Buyer
“Mary Ann was amazing from start to finish. She connected me with lenders who met my needs, narrowed properties within my parameters and monitored the entire process of making an offer to closing so we didn't miss a beat. Mary Ann was very professional and stayed on top of details in such a way that often I didn't have to think of next steps because she was already on top of it. Mary Ann is very knowledgeable and has been in the real estate field for years and knows how to project manage multiple elements to ensure smooth process. I highly recommend her expertise.” ~
Camille H., Buyer/Seller“Mary Ann was very easy to work with she was available and patient as we looked for the perfect home. She never tried to coax us and she was always prepared with pertinent information.” ~ Jen and Mark S., Buyer/Seller

HOME BUYER ROAD MAP
Here is a preview of some of the information you will find in the Ultimate Home Buyer Guide.
1. Get Pre-Approved: You will need pay stubs, W2s, bank statements, identification and more. Knowing what you are approved for and, more importantly, what you feel you can comfortably afford, is critical to a successful home shopping experience.
2.
3. Meet with a Realtor®: Discuss the type of property that you are looking for. This may include the type of property, style, room specifics, price, location and more.
4.
5. Buyer Agent Representation Agreement: Before your Realtor® can show you properties, you will need to engage their services so that they can represent you. This will entail reviewing and executing an Exclusive Right-to-Buy Listing Contract. This agreement will outline specifics on how you and your Realtor® will work together and who will pay for the commission for your Realtor®. The seller may or may not pay all of or a portion of your agent’s commission. If they do not offer a buyer’s agent commission, or a full buyer’s agent commission, the buyer will be responsible for this cost or a portion of it. This contract will allow your Realtor® to guide you throughout the home buying process.
6.
7. Advanced Search: Not all real estate websites are the same. Your Realtor® has tools and systems to ensure you see every available home that meets your criteria.
8.
Search for Homes: The fun part! Your Realtor® will schedule showings and help you find the perfect (for you) home.
Make an Offer: Your Realtor® will prepare your offer based on the price and terms you choose.
9. Negotiation and Contract: It may take a few tries to get it just right, but hang in there. You're headed in the right direction!
The Contract: The contract provides you with a timeline to obtain financing as well as time to inspect the physical condition of the home (along with many other contract contingencies). Your Realtor® will inform you of all your rights and responsibilities related to the contract.
Under Contract/In Escrow: You and the seller have agreed to the price and terms. You will provide earnest money that will be held in an escrow account until closing (typically by the title company). The earnest money is a show of good faith that you are serious about purchasing the property. By doing so, the property is effectively held for you until closing.
Under Contract Details: Perform due diligence, order the appraisal, conduct an inspection, review loan terms with the lender and navigate through various contract contingencies.
Preparing for Closing: You will be finalizing your loan, reviewing documents, and discussing the findings from the inspection. Your Realtor® will help you throughout this process.
Closing: This is the transfer of funds and ownership. A title company acts as an independent third party to facilitate the closing. Based on the occupancy per the contract, you will be given keys and occupancy to your new home.
