Ok, let me be very clear; Mary Elam is phenomenal at what she does. Her strategy was spot on. She came prepared with the most up to date market data. She knew exactly how to price the property to bring in the highest quantity and quality of buyers. She gave realistic expectations and goals, with a clear plan on how to reach the markets peak selling point. She brought in her staging consultant, who was also fantastic, and gave advice that transformed our lovely home into a buyer magnet. She provided a top notch photographer that had everyone looking at our picture perfect home online. Her coming soon advertising and networking set us up perfectly for the showings and open house. With all that preparation we had 18 offers after showing our house on a Friday, Saturday, and Monday; all of which were over asking price. After that we sat down together and analyzed the qualities of all the offers and picked some awesome buyers. We closed without any issues and ahead of schedule plus some additional benefits like free lease back for a month. In the end, Mary surpassed our best expectations, earning us a tremendous return on our investment, and her excellent work propelled us into our forever home in Arizona. In conclusion, if you need a realtor who can make the selling process minimally stressful and maximally lucrative in the Houston area, I would refer you Mary Elam without any reservation. Furthermore, I have no doubts that she is just as skilled on the other side of the equation assisting buyers.
Our experience with Mary Elam was outstanding! We had to move to Montana in a two week time period. Mary far exceeded our expectations in staging our house for sale. Our house photographed beautifully and was well received by potential buyers. Our house was able to sell very quickly. It was a pleasure to work with Mary, who always had a positive attitude, full of encouragement and love. She added a joy and comfort to our home, which was clearly shown to potential buyers.
