Hi, I'm Mary Ellen!

In my experience, excellence in our profession comes down to one thing:  providing simple solutions to complex problems.  Buying and/or selling a home is complex and deeply personal, and it is vital to align yourself with a professional who has a wealth of industry knowledge, impeccable design style, innovative marketing strategies, and winning negotiation tactics.  As a former lawyer turned real estate investor, I have the skill set and experience to simplify and solve even the most complex issues that arise for my clients.
