I have been extremely pleased with the excellent investment opportunites that Mary Thomas has found me. I have been a client of Mary's for over 15 years. She has found 2 personal residences for me and sold 3 of my investment homes. Each time I have been so satified with her attention to detail, excellent negotiating skills and great return on my real estate investments.Mary has all the resources to get me the highest price for my properties. I almost listed with a discount broker and would have lost over 20,000.00, thinking I was saving money on commission for a few thousand. That was 15 yrs. ago Since then I trust her with all my real estate investments.

I recommend Mary to all my clients and friends. I am a insurance broker and being in the real estate field, I really have been pleased with Mary's vast knowledge and great resources. Sincerely, B Grant, Owner Grant Insurances Services.

We purchased our first home through Mary in Rolling Hills Estates. We have a large family and could of used many family friends but choose to go with Mary. We were very impressed with her experience and guidance for first time buyers. In a Seller's market after much searching, we bought the house of our dreams at a great price. Mary was the first one with information about our home before it became available so we were able to make an offer prior to the home being placed for sale in the mls. Sincerely, Jon S.

Mary negotiated through 5 offers for us until we found our ocean view home in 2007. We were in a Seller's market and we kept making bids over asking 15,000.00 to as much as 35,000.00. Sometimes we were the highest bidder and we would lose for terms,seller's decisions or Mary would advise us that it was not a good purchase. She would tell us to be patient and wait. We were so tired of looking we were about to give up on our Palos Verdes Ocean View Property and settle for a nice remodel with no view.

Mary kept telling us the perfect home for us would show up. She was right and show up it did. Mary knew the market, we made an offer sight unseen. Only 4 clients viewed the home because the agent did not want to disturb the elderly seller. Because Mary and our offer were the first ones in the agent negotiated our offer only. The Seller also gave us a 10,000 credit on repairs and sold us the lowest price per square foot in the last 6 months. The agent liked us and Mary so much that it really helped seal the deal. We just closed escrow on a beautiful ocean view coastline view in Rancho Palos Verdes on the border of Palos Verdes Estates. Mary has a strong faith in God and if you ask her how we bought this home she will tell you, God moved mountains to get you this home and it was meant to be. Eveything happens for a reason is one of Mary's beliefs. God is definitely well and alive in Rancho Palos Verdes and working through Mary.Sincerely, J.C.
