We had no idea of the amount of work involved in buying and selling a house. Thank God we had Mary to help us through this process!
Not only was Mary able to find us the home of our dreams, but through her experience and knowledge, she guided us every step of the way and in the process, we even beat out an “all cash” offer!
When it came time to sell our house in Everett, we packed everything up and loaded it into Mary’s large, reliable moving van, which we could use as long as we needed. After that, all we did was hand over the keys and Mary and her team did the rest…everything was taken care of.
She had a team come and clean up and remove leftover trash as well as unwanted, miscellaneous items that we left behind, which she donated to the Goodwill. She then sent in her team to clean the entire house and another team to shampoo the carpets. And then, she sent in her designers to stage our home.
The thing is all these convenient niceties didn’t cost us any extra money out of pocket.
As a result of all these extra services, the house looked amazing, so we listed the house at top dollar, and we even received an offer of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25K) OVER our asking price. Once we received the offer, Mary followed up and kept us informed every step of the way until the day it closed! We could not be happier with the service of Mary and her team! We highly recommend her. She really is no ordinary Mary!

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
We just purchased our second home with Mary. She was our agent 16 years ago and we received the same stellar service this time as we did back then. The COVID crisis has created a tough market, but Mary was able to put her decades of experience to work for us to negotiate the sale of our old house and the purchase of a new one. I cannot say enough about Mary's impeccable service; her attention to detail and constant communication are unmatched. She really went the extra mile for us and made us feel like we were her only clients. If you're looking for a real estate agent, don't hesitate to call Mary, you'll be in good hands!

Mary is above and beyond and we can testify to that. She is so knowledgeable, honest, hardworking and to quote a country singer: "she knows when to hold them and knows when to fold them. " All kidding aside, she is wonderful and our home sale was extraordinary! Mary is top notch as a realtor and I would recommend her to the world. I was never one bit worried with our home in her hands to sell and she did it graciously and her attention to detail was exemplary. She really worked hard for us.

I can’t begin to express my appreciation for not only professional way our selling experiences was but the friendship that developed with it. Mary’s services that were included put this experience over the top. This was a hard decision for us to sell the home we had lived in for so many years and all the memories that went along with it. Mary and her team were the best any one could ever have. One of the most beautiful service I they offered was the simple fact that I didn’t have to clean up after the move. Thank you is not enough but thank you.

What more can I say but MARY IS FABULOUS!
I was working with a different agent from another firm who did not have my best interest at heart! The minute I changed agents to Mary it was evident that I had made the right decision. Mary was on top of everything, especially since I live mostly in Mexico and had a 3-hour time difference. She and her team did an incredible job of staging my house!
She was on top of things even when I had issues with the title company.
After such a pleasant experience I will be having Mary sell my rental next year.
She is truly the BEST!

Best service and experience ever! I have used Mary multiple times and she always goes beyond what you would ever expect!
Any issues that arrive she is always on top of it and has all the connections to make sure everything is taken care of.
The use of the moving van and the house cleaner after you have sold are an added bonus.
Will never use another agent reccomend her to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Absolutely would recommend Mary to anyone and everyone. From beginning to end, she does everything in her power to make both buying and selling a home as painless as possible.

We recently used Mary and her team to sell my parent's house in Everett. We live out of state and Mary made the entire process easy and efficient. She did a great job pricing the home, negotiating with the buyers and staying on top of everything through the closing. In addition, she assisted in a number of ways above and beyond. She checked in on my elderly parents to make sure they were ok throughout the entire process, hired contractors for repairs, assisted in hiring movers, hired cleaning crews and hauled away the junk. Her assistant Tina was always responsive. We used Mary and her team many years ago to manage the property while my parents were out of the country. We were happy with her work many years ago and I was very happy with her on this sale. I would highly recommend Mary.

"A Real Estate Agent Creates the Client's Experience."
Our real estate journey begins about 29 years ago. A young couple expecting our first child and looking to purchase our first home. We first met Mary Brubaker RE/MAX Northwest Realty Group in Seattle Washington. With Mary's guidance and considerable skill, we were able to take part in the First Time Homeowners Government Program. Not only did she help us in getting a lower interest rate, we were able to buy a great starter home.
Fast forward three years. We were expecting a new addition to our family and needed a larger home. Our experience has demonstrated with Mary Brubaker that she is the person to call when buying or selling...sometimes both... a home. Her Expertise in Real Estate, Dedication, and Honesty, exceeded all our expectations!! Mary does not disappoint first and foremost she puts her clients first.
Twenty six years later we found our dream retirement home in Texas. We instantly called Mary Brubaker RE/MAX Northwest. Mary did a phenomenal job selling our Seattle home. Not only did she get us top dollar over asking price, she sold our home five days after hitting the market.
With every home buying and selling experiences that we have had with Mary over the years, the real estate process has been stress free and seamless. From Listing, to Home shopping, to Home purchasing...Mary's experience and expertise shines through.
We highly recommend Mary Brubaker for your real estate needs you Won't be disappointed.

What can I say about Mary? Certainly not enough.
She was a coach, cheerleader, teacher, detective, voice of reason and sanity keeper throughout the entire process of valuing, preparing, and selling my home.
I discovered Mary through one of her postcards. Returning from a long international cruise, I faced moving from a large house filled with family heirlooms, a large genealogy collection and the usual stuff that accumulates when you live in the same house for 25 years. While I had siblings and friends, I had no one in the area that wasn’t entangled in their own move, heath issues or other family needs.
Taking a deep breath, and knowing that there was no way I could manage on my own, I called Mary and we set a time to meet. By the time we finished, I was pretty confident that I had found the right solution; someone who was eager to help, knew what needed to be done, and had the knowledge, skills, and resources to help.
I know that without her there is no way I could have determined the house’s value, gotten it ready to sell, and sold the house (for a very nice amount) while maintaining any element of my sanity. She consistently looked out for my interests, was always willing to answer questions, took pains to be sure I had answers, chased down issues, calmed a nervous client. She became a friend as well as a resource and I will be forever grateful that she graced my life.

About Mary Brubaker
Born and raised in Oakland California, I moved to the great Pacific Northwest in 1975 and purchased my first home in Lake Forest Park. I love to cook and opened my first bakery in downtown Seattle at 3rd & Marion and expanded to Pike Place Market and Everett Mall.In 1983 I decided to venture down another path and chose a career in real estate. Real Estate became more than just a career for me though, it became a passion, so I gave it my all to become the best that I could be in helping people with their real estate needs. I love putting transactions together, though they may be challenging, this is when my powerful negotiations skills and years of experience come into play.
This is my 40th year with RE/MAX and as I look back at my accomplishments and hundreds of clients that have rated me as a "10" is quite fulfilling. I work hard for that rating because there's nothing greater to me than being appreciated for the many services I provide.
In my spare time, I love working in my garden, playing with my cats & dogs, going to the Evergreen Speedway (I own a racecar), and most importantly making time for family. I have 2 children and 5 grandchildren that bring endless smiles and laughter to my life.
