Mary Lou McCormick Calgary REALTOR®

5 10 Avril & Frank January 22nd 2022 It was clear that Mary Lou had a very good sense of the inner city market, and Mount Royal in particular. When she was assessing our home, she asked and she listened. She provided us with lots of comparable listings and explained how our home fit within those parameters. No detail escaped her. Not all real estate agents are prepared to spend a lot on marketing, but Mary Lou demonstrated a willingness to spend whatever necessary to get our house noticed in what was clearly a buyers' market. She hired a special photographer and then another, when the first one did not capture the mood and detail of the house that she was looking for. Mary Lou’s communication skills are truly excellent. After each showing, she provided us with concise feedback from the buyers' realtors which proved valuable in understanding where the market was at in our demographic. She gave no empty promises. She delivered truth when it was needed, even when it wasn’t what we wanted to hear, always tempered by understanding, warmth and remarkable professionalism. When offers came in, Mary Lou exhibited her excellence in negotiating fairly and diligently; not with the view of ‘just getting it done’ but always in mind of what was the best value for us. She also demonstrated remarkable tact and patience in countering the buyers’ agents sometimes unreasonable demands. Throughout the process Mary Lou steadfastly conveyed a level of professionalism and integrity that was second to none. Her commitment and availability was constant. We recommend her without hesitation. 5 5.0000 5

Theresa R. October 25th 2021 Mike and I wanted to thank you for all your support in selling our Calgary property in Roxboro this year. It was a pleasure working with you, you came highly recommended and did not disappoint. We very much appreciated your extensive market knowledge, experience, and professionalism. You advised on an opportune time to list, and we were pleased with the multiple offers and over list result. You also provided very good advice on how best to stage the house for optimum viewing, helping us reconfigure certain areas. Your honest and direct communication ensured we addressed certain issue areas. This enabled quality marketing and a timely sale. And you managed multiple showings, even during the challenges of the covid pandemic. Thank you again for all your support. Had we remained in Calgary we would not hesitate to work with you again on a house purchase/sale. 5 5.0000 5

Kelsen & Kathie February 25th 2021 Mary Lou goes above and beyond. She offered suggestions on how to best stage the house and offered contacts for staging, painting, landscaping and cleaning. With her knowledge of the market, what has sold recently and at what percent of listing, she urged us to be robust yet competitive on pricing and had the word spread about our home before it was even on the market to capture existing buyers. Due to the interest she created on our home, we ended up listings weeks before intended and sold the house within two weeks of listing. Mary Lou is a forthright, roll-up-the-sleeves agent with a deep understanding of inner city neighbourhoods. We greatly enjoyed her support over our three transactions with her 5 5.0000 5

Jane & Jamie February 25th 2021 We have bought and sold 13 home transactions in Ontario and Alberta over the years … and I can safely say that Mary Lou was the best agent we have had. This is the first reference letter I have written for an agent, not because the others were poor realtors, but because Mary Lou was exceptional. Mary Lou expertly navigated us through the preparation of the house and the initial asking price. She was unequivocal in recommending what we had to do to get the house ready, with her recommendations designed to maximize value for money spent. She then led us through an initial offer, negotiations and inspection with a view for value for us. We highly recommend Mary Lou as a listing agent for these reasons. 5 5.0000 5

J. T. February 23rd 2021 Mary Lou assisted me in selling my home and with the ultimate purchase on my new residence. I was extremely happy with Mary Lou's services and ability in selling my house. In fact, my house was sold for a significant price without even being listed on MLS. Mary Lou is efficient, capable, always in good humor and exceptionally intelligent. I have worked with other realtors in the past, as I have previously owned and sold five houses and can unequivocally state that Mary Lou's service is superior in all respects. She returns phone calls promptly, gives you her complete attention and goes above and beyond the usual standards. Mary Lou showed me numerous listings for me to consider in purchasing my new home. She provided me with detailed comparisons and research, and wrote several offers on my behalf which did not proceed, without complaint. 5 5.0000 5

Andrew February 23rd 2021 My wife and I had a great experience working with Mary Lou on our recent real estate sale. In spite of a very tough market for sellers, we had the successful outcome of a fast sale at a price that was very close to our aspiration. To begin, Mary Lou invested the time to get to know us, the property and to plan the listing process. Mary Lou is clear and direct in her communication. Once and offer came in 8 days after listing, she was ferocious in negotiating the conditions and a price that we could be very happy with (97.4% of the list). There are many highly experienced and successful realtors out there, but few with Mary Lou’s track record in both good and bad markets. We would certainly work with her again. She’s a pro! 5 5.0000 5

Tyler & Kaeli February 23rd 2021 We found her level of professionalism beyond any other realtor we’ve used in the past two decades. As a buyer’s agent we found her extremely helpful. As a seller’s agent we thought Mary Lou was even more helpful. She performed all of the essential services, but in addition she went out of her way on the little things to help with the sale: she purchased a front door mat the stagers forgot about, and she would circle back after every showing to make sure the doors were locked and the lights were turned off. Mary Lou is a straight shooter which worked well for us. She is hard working, diligent and takes a very hands on approach rather than deferring to other team members. 5 5.0000 5

Rob February 14th 2021 Mary Lou is exceptionally well informed, well connected and in tune with the market. We felt she was well equipped to guide us in making intelligent decisions, including pricing. We were right on all accounts. Mary Lou is a highly dedicated professional with seemingly endless energy. Even with her success and numerous listings, she always exceeded our expectations, including providing us with the attention we expected. She provided us with excellent guidance, in a candid and firm, straightforward manner. Mary Lou also well understands the anxiety and pressures involved in preparing, listing and selling a property. Her counsel, reassurance and support were greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Mary Lou. 5 5.0000 5

Lucy February 14th 2021 I want to thank you for looking after us in our mission to buy a house in Mount Royal I have to admit that when Blaine started looking around in Mount Royal a couple of years ago, it would have been great to have had you onboard! However, his strategy was to just look around for a while and see what comes up. I was losing hope until we found you! What a difference it made having an agent who knew the area inside out! I can’t believe that once we found you, we also found our house within a very short time. We found not one house but two that would have worked for us and as of last Monday, moved in! I can’t thank you enough for your patience and support throughout the process. You made what could have been a stressful time so easy for us. Thanks again for all that you did for us! 5 5.0000 5
