We Had Been Casually Looking For A House In NC For Almost A Year Hoping To Return To Our Home State. We Decided To Seriously Look In Chapel Hill/Durham And We Came To Stay For Four Weeks In The Area. Mary Showed Us Many Wonderful Homes Which Fit Our Desires And Budget Although It Was A Very Tough Market With High Earnest money Amounts And Bidding Wars. On Our Last Day In NC, We Found A House "for Sale By Owner" And Called Mary To Ask Her To Make Inquires To The Owner. She Got Us Into See The House That Day. Mary Helped Us Make An Appropriate Offer And Handled All The Negotiations With The Seller. She Helped Us Every Step Of The Way, She Is A Caring, Thoughtful And Highly Professional Realtor. We Love Our Home And We Are So Grateful To Have Had Her Help.

When We Sold Our Home In Fearington Village One Year Ago, Mary And Her Partner Keith Were Of Immense Help To Us. This Was The Best Experience We Have Ever Had With Selling A Home. Mary Gave Valuable Advice On What We Had To Do And Just As Importantly, Things That We Really Didn't Need To Do. Unlike Some Earlier Realtors Who Seemed To Vanish As A Soon As The Sales Agreement Was Signed, They Were Fully Engaged From Beginning To End. They Even Helped With A Few Things That We Would Have Normally Have Needed To Hire A Handyman To Do. Mary Advised Us About The Asking Price And Didn't Lowball The Price For A Quick Sale Like Some Other Realtors Did. We Took Her Advice And Our Home Sold Quite Quickly For The Asking Price. During The Buyer Inspection Process She Also Helped Eliminate A Couple Of Unnecessary Repair-claims. They Also Were Really Helpful During The Closing Process.

I Have Known Mary Shell For Decades And I Knew When It Came Time To The Daunting Task Of Selling A Large Part Of My Family's Equestrian Property She Would Be Well Equipped Not Only In Being A High Level Equestrian In Her Younger Years And Therefore Knowing What People Need And Understanding All Levels, But Through That Experience Has A Wealth Of Knowledge Of Possible Buyers And Would Do A Great Job Marketing My Property. My Farm Because It Was Part Of A Family Trust With Covenants Etc, Was Quite Complicated And She Managed It like A True Professional Through Every Stage. There Are So Many Different Levels Of Horse Properties From The Small Hobby Farm To Large Commercial Competition Barns. She Is Very Proficient At Matching The Right Buyer With The Right Property And Has A Great Team Behind Her That Help Utilize All The Great Marketing Strategies She Has Available. I Highly Recommend Her To Any Person Looking To Sell Or Purchase An Equestrian Property!

Mary Shell Is The Most Professional Real Estate Person I Have Ever Worked With. She Knows The Business From Every Angle And Although She Was Working For Me As A Buyers Agent She Kept Multiple Sellers Agents, Inspectors, And The Mortgage Company On The Straight And Narrow As We Worked Through Several Properties And Encountered Many Problems In Our Search For The Right Property. Mary Always Seemed To Be At The Other End Of The Phone With The Right Attitude And If She Didn't Know The Answer, Which Was Rare, She Knew Where To Get The Answer. Mary Made Our Search For A New Home A Personal Goal To Find Us The Right Home. If I Ever Need Real Estate Services Again And Mary Is Still Available I Will Certainly Use Her Again, And I Would Highly Recommend Her To Anyone Else!
