We had the best experience working with Mary Jo. As first time home buyers, we were actively looking for homes but we hadn't taken any of the important logistical steps to actually act on anything of interest - including having a realtor. When we found a place we were interested in, we luckily had Mary Jo's name from a chance meeting years ago. We reached out to her immediately and within 4 days she had gotten us to a place where we were more than ready to make an offer (went and looked at the home, helped us get an inspection, gave us the right contacts to get pre-approved, reviewed all disclosures with us, scheduled a call with the inspector and helped us ask all the right questions, etc.). Our first offer didn't work out but by number three we'd found a great home and we couldn't have gotten it without Mary Jo's years of experience and advice when we were negotiating. Throughout our time working with Mary Jo she was incredibly patient, available, knowledgeable, and wonderful to be around. We know we have a lasting relationship with her and there will be absolutely no question who we'll turn to when it's time to sell our home and find a new one. We are so grateful to Mary Jo!

Most importantly for us, when you work with Mary Jo, you never feel pressured about the process. She will give you her best advice, but always listens to and executes on your wishes.

Mary Jo also provided detailed analytics prior to each bid. She would painstakingly assist us in our due diligence. She has the client’s financial interest as top priority. We found her advice on bidding strategy very valuable.

In addition to our successes in the real estate transactions, we owe Mary Jo a debt of gratitude for protecting us from our own (potentially costly) mistakes.

By the time we had transacted two properties using Mary Jo, I would say that our trust in her as a partner was better than we’ve experienced with any agent over 20 years. Adding to her energy, Mary Jo is extraordinarily honest, direct, detailed, meticulous, well-trained, well-supported, and she is liked by everyone she deals with. We recommend her highly.

We bought our home (in Palo Alto) with Mary as our agent, per the recommendation of friends she'd similarly been the real estate buyer agent for. She was all one could hope for in one's agent -- pity I can choose only three attributes, as she deserves kudos for more! And she's been careful and proactive in keeping in touch with us afterwards, both socially and professionally. When I next need an agent, Mary will be my first choice -- and when anybody asks me about agents in this area of Silicon Valley, she's my top recommendation.
