Buying and selling property is an emotional experience for all parties involved in the process. The art of putting a good deal together is best achieved when a professional is involved, that appreciates the complexities of working on behalf of client’s interest to achieve a successful outcome. Mary is one of those unique individuals capable of drilling through the challenges of a real estate transaction to arrive at the desired client result. She is actively involved in every stage of the selling process. In my and my wife’s situation we decided to sell a house we had designed that was already under construction. Mary took a tour through the house while being built and immediately recognized some design flaws that limited the outstanding views the house had to offer. We incorporated Mary’s changes and the home opened up beautifully and had much better views. Mary thinks outside the box! She has a unique marketing plan tailored for us that is creative, clever and sure to be successful in selling our home. We would not buy or sell a property without Mary’s help and guidance. Nanette and I wanted to take a moment and express our complete and total satisfaction with the recent sale of our home at 1 Sunset Cay, and then the purchase of our new home at 11 Sunrise Cay. Our Sale: When we decided to sell our home, the listing decision was pretty simple for us. As 15-year Equity Members of ORC, it made perfect sense to us to use our own real estate company. Your reputation and professional approach made choosing you as our listing agent, very easy for us. We felt like our decision was vindicated at our very first meeting, when we were discussing the listing strategy and the always difficult pricing decision. We expressed our desire to price the property properly, because we wanted it sold. We have seen too many properties stay for sale for years, because the pricing was set too high… essentially to secure the listing rather than attract a buyer. We took Paul and your recommendation on pricing and listed the house. When the season started this fall, there was a steady stream of showings to qualified potential buyers. We ended up shortly thereafter with two bidders and several other interested parties. We quickly came to a fair and equitable price. Your professional guidance and steady coaching made a huge difference along the way. Closing was flawless and we had a happy seller and a happy buyer. Our Purchase: We had decided early on that we weren’t going to purchase our new house until the first one was under contract. We wanted to be either on the ocean or Card Sound, and you patiently showed us everything that was a potential home for us. We were moving very quickly, and Mary was an excellent resource on the many properties for sale and the positives and negatives of each. We decided on 11 Sunrise, and then were able to work through another ORC Real Estate Company professional, Bill Dickinson, who was the listing agent on 11 Sunrise. After much back and forth a deal was struck that pleased, again, the buyer and seller. We were able to arrange same day closings and the transactions were completed. From start to finish, on all sides of both transactions, we were professionally and competently represented by Mary Lee and her team. We couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you for being such a professional. We are now in our favorite home…. ever. Thank you for making it possible.
