Mary-Lou McDonough

What do Clients Say?

“My wife and I have moved 14 times and Mary-Lou is by far(!) the best realtor we have ever encountered. She recently helped us both sell our home and buy our next one. As our selling or buying agent she was amazing. Her instincts on how to price and market our house was spot on. She generated significant interest in our sale and we quickly found and closed with a buyer with a great offer in terms of price and terms. On the buy side she listened carefully to our desires, worked hard to find homes that fit our wants, and she found the perfect place for us. Her advice on purchase terms was again spot on and we are now, thanks to Mary-Lou, living happily ever after in our new home. Thank you Mary-Lou!”

“Mary-Lou was enormously helpful to us in marketing and selling our house in Lexington. She was generous with her time, candid in her counsel, strategic in execution, and always encouraging and supportive. She was also extremely helpful in identifying a team of experts to help with preparation of the house for sale – a painter, carpenter, ‘junk’ disposal expert, stager, and attorney, as well as organizing opportunities for many other brokers to see the house and offer their own best advice. Finally, Mary-Lou couldn’t have been more helpful in the negotiating trenches once a potential buyer had been identified. I would recommend her without reservation.”

“If you are in need of a realtor who… will listen to you; make great recommendations to get the best price for your house; be available to you as if you are her only client; is someone who truly cares like it’s her house she’s selling; and… will bend over backwards to help you get your house ready to put on the market; then Mary Lou McDonough is the realtor for you! Mary Lou and I worked together last year to sell my 4-bedroom home in Lexington and help me find a fabulous townhouse condo as I was downsizing.”Not only did she do the things you expect from a realtor, she helped me clean out my basement! Yes, she did that and she made the unpleasant job fun! When I was stressed, she calmed me down. When an enormous tree fell against the back of my house 3 days before the buyer was coming for final inspection, she made sure that tree was removed in time. She kept me informed every step of the way. As we all know, selling your home and moving is a very stressful task. Mary Lou got me through it and if I have to do it again, she’s the first and only person I will call.”I recommend Mary Lou to my friends, family, professional contacts and anyone who needs a truly honest, professional, detail-oriented, thoughtful and delightful person to sell your existing home and help you find your new home.”

“Mary-Lou was professional, knowledgeable and dependable throughout the entirety of our selling process. She exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend her.”

Eric and Jessica S. Arlington, MA

“Mary-Lou guided us through the process of buying our first house. We felt that she immediately understood what we were looking for and was able to help us identify houses that would be a good match for us. We were all working as a team towards the same goal, which was to find a house that we would LOVE!”“Mary-Lou is hard-working, knowledgeable, professional, responsive and well-connected. It was truly a pleasure to work with her. We would absolutely recommend Mary-Lou to family and friends looking for an excellent Realtor!”
