Working with Mary Jo McCarthy to sell real estate in Palo Alto was a very positive and successful experience for me. Over the years, I have bought and sold a number of single-family homes in various locations, with the opportunity to work with a number of different realtors. There can be significant differences in both ability and style among different realtors.Beyond the necessary qualifications required of a realtor, Mary Jo has the extensive personal and professional connections that are necessary in today's competitive market. She provides close personal support to buyers or sellers to guide them through the complicated process of real estate transactions, successfully negotiating with other agents to obtain the best possible results at closing.It was a pleasure to work with Mary Jo. She has and applies what it takes to successfully service a real estate client in a most pleasant and efficient manner.
