Mary Berg, REALTOR, GRI, CNS

About Me:

I live and work in the historical city of Anacortes because my husband and I wanted to enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle after raising our kids in the Seattle area. My husband was a contractor building high-end custom homes and it made perfect sense to become a licensed realtor so I could market them. In 1995 I did and have never regretted it.

What a great place to live! Anacortes is located on Fidalgo Island which is joined to the mainland by a bridge and offers the tranquility of island living without the ferry commute. In Anacortes we enjoy lovely water and mountain views, a sense of community and close proximity to the San Juan Islands. There's plenty of opportunities for boating, crabbing, fishing, hiking and whale watching. For nightlife Seattle and Vancouver, B.C. are just 90 minutes away. An added benefit: The area receives about a third as much rain as Seattle.

We also love boating and are transitioning from power to sail. More my husband's desire than mine but should be fun once I learn how to sail. We're a skiing family although the kids switched to snowboarding a long time ago. I enjoy traveling to other countries, road trips, crocheting (soon to learn how to knit) and am a voracious reader.
