"Mary is not only knowledgeable, but she is kind and generous with her knowledge and time. She is a great real estate agent!! She was always there to answer our questions and calls, and give advice. First, she helped us prepare our home for sale. We took all of her suggestions, she sold our house in 5 hours and got a backup offer the next day, both full asking price. We also had a relocation sale, and Mary held our hands through all the mountains of paperwork and steps with the relocation agency. She was prompt with information, and she was always there for us. She helped every step of the way, and always went the extra mile, checking on details and making sure everything was correct, ethical, and completed. We recommend Mary because she is a hard working, caring, and knowledgable agent. She knows that a house is a piece of real estate, but also that it is a home, too. In short, we recommend her because she is a great real estate agent. Stephen & Ute

"Mary Bowen was our our realtor for selling our home and for purchasing a new home. She did a wonderful job and was always available to discuss issues that came up or questions we had. We ran into a few snags both selling our old home and buying our new home. Mary went to bat for us, smoothed everything out and made sure that everything fell into place and worked out as it should. I would highly recommend Mary. She is attentive to her clients and works hard for them." Lindsey S

Seeing beyond the initial aesthetics of beautiful homes, she focused on traffic patterns, length of school pickup lines, inspections (including non-required stucco drilling), access to main fairways during flood events, HOAs, elevation levels in relation to creeks and waterways, drainage work done by MUD or Township after major storms, construction quality (Pex pipes, HVAC zoning and efficiency), and the other details that most people miss. Home Inspections and negotiations are her specialty.

Rayya is committed to continuing education coursework that covers updated legal forms, tax issues, foreign ownership, negotiations and more.
