What do Clients Say?

Mary Glenn is a knowledgeable and experienced realtor and such a joy to work with. When she first came to walkthrough our home, she already had a vision and marketing strategy for us. I was adamant about not being overpriced as we didn't want the house to sit and she came up with a competitive price. Not only did we get an offer the 1st week at full asking price, but the house appraised at value. She was patient with us and addressed all our questions. She was always prompt at getting back to us. She gave us advice on a few items that she thought we should take care of before we list the house. She also suggested we have a staging company come in which we did use. All her recommendations were simply that. We had the choice to accept them or not. She was right with all of them. Her strategy for photography, drone footage, etc were excellent as were the people that were hired to do the work. She goes the extra mile to make sure we're happy with the listing and that it shows off the best features of our home. We had only positive showing feedback which was a true sign that together with Mary Glenn, we got it right. I would highly recommend her to any future Buyers and Sellers. Gisele W.

Extremely professional; understands the market; works seamlessly with other professionals in the business, like stagers and photographers, to market effectively; helped us with everything until the house sold, even after we moved out of state. If we ever needed another realtor, we would definitely use Mary Glenn! Rebecca D.

We have used Mary Glenn to sell 3 properties in the past year. She has gone above and beyond on each listing. She has met contractors on site when we couldn’t, helped us pick some finishes and coordinated staging for us. Highly recommend! Suzanne C.

My wife and I recently relocated to Johnson City from out of state, and we truly don’t know how we could have done it without Mary Glenn. She went above and beyond—not just in helping us find our new home, but also throughout the move-in process. Despite the three-hour time difference, Mary Glenn was always accessible—on weekends, in the evenings, and even while on vacation. Her responsiveness and quick turnaround on documents were instrumental in helping us secure our home, especially during a competitive bidding situation. Even after closing, Mary Glenn continued to support us. She brought packages into the house on our behalf, knowing we didn’t have nearby family. She also connected us with excellent service providers, which allowed us to get the home up to code and fully move-in ready before we arrived. Southern Dwellings made all the administrative aspects of the transaction incredibly smooth, with fast and user-friendly processes. We’re sure we’re forgetting other great things to say—Mary Glenn was simply outstanding. We can’t recommend her highly enough, and we’ll enthusiastically refer any friends or family considering a move to the area. Dane
