I am a customer that doesn't just look for an expert to sell and/or purchase a home for my family. I am a customer who expects an expert to do that but more importantly I look for someone who puts my family and what is best for us first. Having Mary McIntosh as my family's expert and advocate has proven successful in the sale and purchase of our past three homes. Mary not only sold our homes within days but she also single-handedly orchestrated every transaction for or with us. I cannot recommend her enough. She does make dreams come true.

When it was time for me to upgrade to a new home, I was recommended to Mary by friends from NY who had recently moved to Chandler. I was not in a position where I had to move, and I could take my time and wait for the perfect property to hit the market. Mary and I must have looked at more than 75 properties and nothing we were seeing was meeting most of my needs and wants. Honestly I don't know why she put up with me for that long, but she was a real trooper and hung in there showing me any property that had any potential. I decided to take a break from searching for a while. During that time I went to an open house held by another broker who knew of a house not on the market yet, that seemed to meet all my needs. I went to see it and that was the one. I felt so bad. After the year of work Mary had put into my search, I was about to buy a house with another broker. When I told her, she made me feel that my housing needs were more important than her commission and she encouraged me to pursue it. She even went with me to look at the house. The other broker was inexperienced or incompetent or both and it was Mary who stayed by my side through the transaction, guiding me and making sure my interests were protected. For example, the other broker wanted me to write a personal check to the seller for the earnest money deposit, and give it to her. Mary stepped in immediately to advise me of the correct way its done -- sending deposit to the title company once escrow is opened, not directly to the seller! I think that's pretty amazing service from someone who ran around most of the East Valley for more than a year and wasn't going to make the sale! Fortunately for Mary (and me!) the seller of that house was extremely difficult and the deal never closed. A very similar home became available in that time and I bought that one, with Mary as my broker. She arranged for all the inspections and even stayed at the house for those appointments that I could not be at. Mary also sold my home. She advised me which repairs and improvements were needed to make my home irresistible to buyers. She recommended contractors who did great work at reasonable prices. Her advice paid off! My home received multiple offers above asking price and sold in one day for a record price in my area. I've been getting the itch to upgrade again. I've gotten into growing tropical fruit trees and want a bigger piece of land in Scottsdale or Arcadia. When I called Mary to tell her I'm starting to search again, she was really excited to start showing me homes in Arcadia. She knows she'll be in for a lot of driving in the next year showing me dozens and dozens of homes. Frankly, I'm surprised she didn't hang up on me, but glad she didn't! Rarely do you find someone as dedicated to their client and will truly go the extra mile and more to make sure everything works out perfectly for you.

I've had the privilege of working with Mary McIntosh on two occasions. Mary helped us to find a new home in the Phoenix area and impressively meet all of my families needs and wishes. Her knowledge of the school systems, future growth, and family oriented communities helped us tremendously in our decision. We are currently selling and Mary McIntosh is again representing us! I highly recommend Mary as your realtor.

Mary is a master of her craft and exceptionally great to work with. About 5 years ago, I purchased my first home in Gilbert with Mary's representation. She was thoughtful in her approach to educate me and wasn't shy about offering her perspective on important decisions that I had no experience to draw from at the time. My family has since grown and Mary helped us sell that home and purchase another in Gilbert. Her ability to help us figure out what we want was uncanny - even though we had many of our own ideas. She guided us through preparing the home to sell and every vendor she recommended was incredibly responsive. She managed our expectations well and we received absolute top-dollar in a neighborhood that had many other properties on the market - most for weeks or more. We had our ideal offer within hours of listing. Mary helped us prepare for the move and provided many value-adds that greatly exceeded any expectation we had. She has set a new standard for us and we are incredibly grateful for her. Our new home is exactly what we wanted. We appraised for more than we paid. The home required virtually no repairs and that allowed us to immediately begin making improvements. We are nearly settled in and I look forward to being able to continue recommending Mary for many years to come. Cole

Mary is one of the most knowledgeable realtors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She knows her markets, she understands the sellers and buyers needs, and above all else she is ethical. I have referred several people to her over the years and will continue to do so. Her expertise, knowledge, resources and ethical standards set her far above the other realtors in her market areas.

Mary is amazing and not like any other realtor I've met. I've worked with a couple of realtors in the past and they were ok but seemed fake to me. Mary is the real deal; Honest, caring, extremely knowledgeable, and not intimidated by any situation. It seemed like anything weird we encountered, she had dealt with it before and knew exactly what to do. She has a real passion for the work she does and she was always available to answer any questions I had. If you are not sure what you need at any point in the home shopping/buying process, Mary will know or has additional resources to help you out. If I ever need to buy or sell a house in the future, I won't even think about going anywhere else. Thanks, Mary!

We have bought 2 homes and sold 2 homes through Mary she is a asset to have on your team. I can say with all honesty I wouldn't have anyone else as my realtor. If you want or need a market trending knowledgeable savvy realtor with real honesty, integrity, genuine kindness, and someone who can handle any transaction than you need to call Mary. If you are buying or selling a home she will assist you in the transaction, guide you through all the ins and outs and give you a responsiveness not seen or given by the majority of other realtors. I am thankful for all her guidance through all 4 of our home transactions.
