01

Seller preparation

Selective preparation helped a distinctive home sell $100,000 over asking.

The situation

The seller felt overwhelmed by dated and cluttered rooms in a distinctive home with a special setting. The question was not whether to prepare—it was where preparation would matter and where it would simply waste time and money.

Mary’s approach

  1. Guided the seller through decluttering and editing each space.
  2. Refined furniture placement and staging to improve the way the home lived and photographed.
  3. Advised against excessive pre-listing work and replacing serviceable appliances.
  4. Planned the photography and launch presentation around the home’s setting and strongest features.

The result

The seller avoided unnecessary work and expense, brought the home to market with a focused presentation, and sold for $100,000 over the asking price.

First-time buyer guidance

First-time buyers found their dream home without overpaying or feeling pressured.

The situation

For these first-time buyers, the most expensive purchase of their lives came with a very real fear of making the wrong decision.

Mary’s approach

  1. Started with a thorough buyer consultation so the process and expectations were clear.
  2. Answered every question—big or small—throughout the search and purchase.
  3. Explained what was happening, why it mattered and what would come next.
  4. Helped keep emotions in check and walked alongside them at every step.

The result

They found their dream home, did not overpay or make the mistake they feared, and experienced a smooth, painless purchase.

MA-to-NH relocation

A same-day Massachusetts sale and New Hampshire purchase stayed on track.

The situation

The clients knew they wanted to move to New Hampshire but had not yet found the right home. Their first purchase fell apart, and when they found another home, selling in Massachusetts and buying in New Hampshire had to happen on the same day.

Mary’s approach

  1. Coordinated the sale and purchase timelines across both states.
  2. Confirmed that their Massachusetts closing attorney could also handle the New Hampshire closing.
  3. Planned for the hours between closings, when the clients would temporarily be without a home.
  4. Secured a safe place for their dogs to stay while the two closings took place.

The result

Both closings went smoothly, allowing the clients to leave the closing table and begin moving directly into their new home.
