Mary: Your hard work on my listing has been amazing. I've been involved with real estate for almost 50 years and I'm not just trying to be flattering when I say I have never known such a hard worker, a person who 100% puts her customers' interests ahead of her own. Do you work 24/7 or does it just seem that way?
Paul Richards, CPA
Mary's abilities are boundless. She has represented me as a buyer,ell as a ser, and as a landlord. In every instance she has exceeded my expectation. The best complement I can offer is that her thoughtful demeanor and attention to detail are unmatched in my experience with realtors. Regardless of the situation, Mary will work assiduously on your behalf. You'd be ill-advised to work with anyone else. R.M. Weston, MA
Mary Crane is a miracle worker. We told her our dream, to live in Dover, and she made it come true. She sold our Newton house at the bottom of the market, literally. The house went on three days before the market crashed in October, 2009 and as of her expertise and experience, she brought a client of hers to see it and sold it! The end result was happiness for our family and the buyer's. Whenever presented with a "problem," Mary Crane always has a solution and resolves it. She is the hardest working person I know and is absolutely flawless in what she does. We will not buy another home without her! (However, since she so perfectly matched our family to our home, we have no reason to move, ever.) Mary Crane is bright as sunshine, kind, and caring. Our kids and dogs adore her, too. And now, happily, she is a friend-- a great one to have! Chuck & Cathy Maker, Dover, MA
Mary - Thanks to you, I am now the proud owner of my "dream house" in Needham. With 3 bidders competing for the house after only 3 days on the market, your knowledge of the market, strategic persistance and outstanding negotiating skills were the key to our success in securing this outstanding property. I look forward to working with you again in the near future! Mary Kelly, Boston, MA
