Was quite impressed at the "respect" Mary Hicks had for our father's home despite the amount of rehab work the place needed. She was very helpful in advising what should be addressed (leaking oil tank) and what potential buyers would be willing to do in regards to rehab. Also, was extremely impressed by the number of people that looked at the house up to the point of getting an offer and Mary's communications with other colleagues/realtors. Also, working with her from out-of-state went very well - Mary was very accessible and quick to get back to me with answers to questions.
We had to sell our house through short sale. We tried a realtor who was recommended by a friend and felt like we were working for her. Not what we expected. When the sale fell through we decided to use someone local. Friends told us about Mary so we talked with her and immediately felt at ease. She did her research and marketed the house. Within 2 days we had a firm offer. Short sales take time to close and Mary kept us informed the whole time. She actually got us more money for the house! Would totally recommend her.
Mary is an exceptional agent, always easily contacted, always responsive, highly knowledgeable and always in contact to keep us informed of developments. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in selling or buying a home. Mary went above and beyond to make the selling experience a good one.
In our opinion, Mary Hicks is the best realtor in central MA. She has sold two properties for the Rieben family in 2.5 years. Both listings, a $250,000 property in North Brookfield and a $120,000 property in East Brookfield, had offers within two months and both were sold in four months. The listings were nicely worded with all the pertinent information and the pictures were many, showcasing the amenities and potentials of the homes. Mary Hicks went beyond the call of duty for this recent sale as the seller Wesley was in VA. She coordinated meetings with a number of subcontractors that had to go to the house to assess repairs and get them done. We appreciate that she did that as we were not there. I had previously used two other agencies for the other home in North Brookfield and neither could get it done. I was watching properties being sold in the area and it was Mary Hicks, Mary Hicks! So glad I tried her; she was sensitive to my stress level, helping me to relax and work on other things. She is a lovely person also. Amazing!
We would definitely choose Mary to sell property for us in the future.
Mary Hicks will put forth every effort to find the right buyer for your property and then see the deal through to the closing. She has a very professional attitude especially in communicating important information between buyers, sellers and attorneys in a timely fashion. I have confidence in her ability to handle any issues that need to be addressed during a sale. About 10 years ago I was having great difficulty selling my 35 yr. old single family home. I had tried a different real estate agency with a 6 month exclusive contract with no luck and then tried a For Sale by Owner deal for another 6 months without any results. By then I was getting pretty desperate since I had already purchased another home and finances were getting tight. As luck would have it I mentioned my dilemma to a co-worker who recommended Century 21 Toomey-Lovett and specifically Mary Hicks. As soon as I contacted Mary Hicks I felt confident she could make it happen. I also liked the way Century 21 agents work as a team to find the right buyer for your property. All my experiences with Mary Hicks and Century 21 Toomey-Lovett have had the best possible outcome and I highly recommend them as an experienced team of professionals who can handle even difficult issues that sometimes arise during a real estate transaction.
Mary did a great job keeping up with all parties involved. It was a handful dealing with the mortgage company but she did well working with them and the attorney. Thank you Mary for your help.
Mary was always available when I needed her. She answered all my questions very well and is very knowledgable in what she does.
She truly was an amazing realtor!!!!! Great to do business with!! She really puts her heart and soul into her work to help families find their perfect home :)
Mary is very professional and experienced in her field it is apparent she knows her job and because of this was able to make the selling of our home and purchase of our new home more enjoyable. Mary went above and beyond to make sure we got everything we wanted in our new home. I would recommend Mary to anyone looking to sell or purchase a new home she is great to work with!
