I've wanted to be a Realtor since childhood! I was inspired by a successful Realtor neighbor and loved the idea of being an independent working woman. They say real estate is in my blood.

Experienced Realtor Mary Christ knows that top residential real estate production is about much more than contracts, procedures and comparable sales. Effective communication with clients, professional commitment, negotiation skills, attentiveness, and just plain hard work that exceeds expectations – every day – are equally important. Mastering all of these and more has placed Mary among Greenwood King Properties’ Top Producers since 2004.

Mary has been a Houston resident since the 1980s and focuses her sales in the city’s traditional, close-in neighborhoods. She assists sellers and buyers in her own neighborhood near Memorial Park, and from the Heights to Montrose, the Museum District, West University, Braes Heights, and Bellaire, to Tanglewood and the Memorial Villages.

A strong background in business and marketing gained during her years as a marketing executive at Compaq Computer gives Mary a solid foundation from which to advise and guide her clients, many of whom are eager to sing her praises.

Caroline H., both a seller and buyer, said: “I will use Mary for all of my Houston real estate transactions, and recommend her without reservation. I have worked with over 10 other realtors in the past; Mary is the best, and more than twice as good as the second runner up.”

Lauren N., a first-time home buyer, put it this way: “Mary was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. She was extremely responsive, always answered my emails/calls quickly, and kept me in the loop every step of the way. She was also a strong negotiator and I was comfortable that my interests were well-represented. She gave great advice and recommendations along the way.”

Darryl A., both a seller and buyer, said: “We just can’t say enough great things about Mary. She was always available to answer our many questions, and she had great judgment as we came to each and every decision point. She worked incredibly hard for us and with us… The bottom line is I would never want to use anyone else for buying or selling a house.”

Hard work and tenacity are life-long habits for Mary. She earned a MBA in Finance from MIT’s Sloan School of Management and prior to that she graduated from Occidental College with an A.B. in Math and Economics (double major).

Mary is involved in a number of community activities, though her key passion is her work as a docent at the Holocaust Museum Houston, helping to teach students and adults alike the dangers of prejudice and intolerance. When her busy schedule permits, Mary may be found practicing yoga, playing the piano, or digging in the dirt (aka gardening).
