Bio: I have traveled all over the world. I grew up in a military family and lived in Europe for 6 years, Japan for 2 years, and throughout the United States. I have been married for almost 32 years to my high school sweetheart whom I met in Germany, and we have 3 children. I have a 15 year background in Early Childhood Education with the Lynchburg City School System. My philosophy is to be passionate about what you do and you will do well at your job. I absolutely love my new career. I find it stimulating, exciting, fulfilling, and energizing. Recently I was able to get a young couple into a home for a total closing cost of only $2.52. The challenge of finding the right home for this young couple and finding the lender who could get the closing costs down to this unbelievably low price was the highlight of my career to date.My background in education has been a true asset to my new career. Finding the right house for the right client takes patience, good listening skills, and higher level organizational skills. Much of what I do is to help educate the buyer about the market, and to help walk him/her through each step of the real estate process.My clients have been extremely appreciative and happy with their service. Here are just some of the recent comments from my new friends:'Mary is perky, diligent, friendly, and joyful.'
