Mary Strathern, NH & ME REALTOR®

“Mary is a true professional. Given her great client base, we received offers on our house within days of listing and got our first offers within a week. From start to finish, she helped us every step of the way with her expert advice and quick responses. She always seemed to be on top of things and was always available, day and night, as well as the weekends. We found her to be very reliable, always delivering on whatever she committed to”

“Mary brought a client to see our home and it sold two days later. We were very lucky our house sold as quickly as it did, and feel Mary did a great job in handling the sale and close of out home.”

“Mary has excellent knowledge of Exeter and the surrounding area; when we first met with her, we brought in a random listing, and she had even been in that house and had a detailed knowledge of it. She was excellent in pointing out the items that would make a property not desirable versus others, including many things I never would have thought of. That enabled us to wait for the right house, and when that happened, Mary mobilized things quickly to get our offer in and accepted two days after the house went on the market. Her experience is invaluable; if you like that feeling that you are working with an insider, you will want to work with Mary.”

“I just went through a very smooth real estate transaction with Mary last week! I bought a house to renovate and within a week of finishing, it was under contract. She was there for the buyers as much as myself, always professional and available! I am looking for another property to renovate and will use Mary again!”

“We found Mary through customer reviews from Trulia and we made the right decision to choose her to help us purchased a home in Exeter NH. Mary is knowledgeable, professional, friendly and efficient. She listens and understands our need and is honest and resourceful at providing us guidance on what is a good fit for our needs. She is extremely helpful on negotiation for our best interest. We are very happy with her service and highly recommend her to our friends.”

“Mary was an exceptional realtor to work with as first time buyers and now homeowners! She went out of her way to help us understand the end-to-end home buying process. Mary educated us on the current market, how the pandemic was impacting the area and helped us throughout the process. She was always easily accessible and often would text or call us to simply check in- which made it so easy for us to purchase a home while we were away from the desirable seacoast market. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking in the Seacoast NH area!! My wife and I really enjoyed working with her, and will work with her in the future without question.”

“Mary was an absolute pleasure to work with from listing to closing. With Mary's help, we were under agreement within days of listing, at asking price. This being my 5th transaction buying and selling real estate Mary helped make it my easiest and smoothest to date. I am not from the area thus relied heavily on Mary's experience, and she did not disappoint. The deal we did was my mothers condo who sadly suddenly passed. Mary worked with me from every angle which was very helpful. You see, I had no idea what my mothers condo fees were, when the last time they were paid, who the management company even was, who her utility company was, comparable transactions, etc.. I would highly recommend working with Mary, she is highly responsive, motivated, and very hard working, I always felt that I was her only client! I know if I ever do business in her area again she will be my only call, and whom ever is reading this should do the same.”

I am very pleased with her service and strongly recommend her to whoever needs to sell a house.”

We were referred to Mary by a friend that is a mortgage specialist that thought she would be a good fit for us. We could not be happier with our choice! Many people don't consider how important the decision is to have someone experienced, dedicated and a straight shooter as your agent ,that is Mary. Our home sold in three days! We put a lot of sweat and love into our home. We lived there for over 35 years and it was very emotional to sell. Mary helped us by carefully reviewing with us three 'over asking' offers and working with the buyer's agents. Making sure we made smart decisions and not emotional ones. After we accepted the offer, we then needed to plan our exit. Mary has a great team and whatever you need she has someone that can help! Mary is very professional, ridiculously dedicated and such a lovely person. We are so appreciative of the way she handled our sale!”

“Mary Strathern deserves 10 stars instead of 5 stars!!!! I discovered Mary from out of state, through research of realtors on the internet, and by watching Mary on her very knowledgeable U Tube videos!

Mary went above and beyond to help get us an immediate showing, she was there every step of the way, from the initial offer to providing quick responses, and assisting with all the necessary forms to complete, through the several buyer seller negotiations, the title company process, and even the final walkthrough and the closing! Mary truly knows the importance of great communication, great follow up, and treating people the right way!!”

“Mary and her team were wonderful throughout the whole process of buying and selling. We ended being on a tighter deadline than anticipated and they made the whole process seamless. I will be recommending her to all of my friends and family!”

“My wife and I worked with Mary both for the purchase of our first home and again when we decided to sell. Mary knows the Seacoast extremely well, and most critically in a challenging market, has a wide network to leverage to the benefit of her clients. We struggled to find our first home and I don't think we would have gotten in early enough to get our offer even reviewed without Mary. When we went to sell it was painless and we closed well above our expectations. If you're selling or buying on the NH Seacoast you can't go wrong working with Mary!”

There were so many times that I wanted to plunge in and get in over my head either financially or with just too much house, but fortunately her cooler mind prevailed. She was there to help ME and not just sell me a house. It was a great feeling. She was my third realtor and well worth the wait. She is now well on her way to selling my condo and again...I could not be happier! I would recommend Mary to any and every one. She truly is the best.”

She expertly guided us through each step of the process, including advice on the best time to list, the right listing price and evaluating offers once received. She connected us with an excellent stager as well as numerous contractors who helped us get the house ready on time. She is incredibly responsive and works hard to take the stress out of the process. We highly recommend her!”

“Mary is a pleasure to work with, she knows the area and the marked and works hard to make sure all the buyers questions and concerns are addressed in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend anyone buying or selling a home to work with Mary!”

“Mary helped us find our home every step of the way. She was patient, honest, and discerning during the (long and difficult) process. She always made time for us, and was wonderful to work with. She's very knowledgeable about the area, and the process, which was really helpful for a first-time buyer. We very highly recommend working with Mary!”

“Selling our home with Mary went smoothly. All processes were well explained and she always responded to our questions immediately. We had complete confidence in Mary's knowledge and expertise in the real estate market. Couldn't be happier with how our sale went! Thank you!”

“This is the second time we've worked with Mary to purchase a new homes and just like the first time it was an absolute dream to work with her. She is extremely knowledgeable about the market, the value of the homes she helped us identify, and spotted numerous things we had to pay attention to as part of the offer & closing process. She is exceedingly well-organized, provides great follow-up, and is very easy to work with!”

“This is my third time working with Mary and she once again, made the process as stress-free as possible. Her knowledge about the industry and the process is deep. It allowed me the opportunity follow her lead and feel confident that she's on top of things. Which she always is. I'm not sure how she does it sometimes but I'm so grateful she was my partner in this last transition. Being on the seller side of the transaction was new to me but she made it smooth and seamless. Mary is the best!”

“Mary's knowledge and feel for the market was critical in helping us buy during this crazy time. She is thoughtful, realistic, and experienced in every aspect of the buying process. I would highly recommend her to anyone else who is looking to buy on the Seacoast.”

“Mary is a top notch pro. She carefully listens to your needs and concerns and provides advice and guidance on all aspects of getting the property ready for the market and analyzing offers on your property to meet your goals. Knowing the current market, Mary recommended an asking price that was both reasonable to us and attractive to prospective buyers. She sold our house and adjacent lot for more than I would have expected. I definitely recommend Mary to anyone looking to either buy or sell property”

“My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Mary as a buyer's agent. She was very responsive and critical in getting us the home we wanted. Everyone we dealt with at the Gove Group were organized and prepared. Mary also took care of disposing of some unwanted material that the sellers forgot about in the shed. Great experience all around!”

“As a first time home buyer, I wanted a realtor that was knowledgeable, patient and confident in her work. Mary came highly recommended and she met all expectations I had! When I feared I wouldn't find the right place, she gave me encouragement and support. When I found 'the one'? she acted quickly on my behalf and was sure to walk me through every step of the process. She answered all my calls and texts promptly and made sure to check in regularly. While I'm thrilled to have found my place, I'm going to miss working with Mary! She's truly the best around and I would recommend anyone looking for an experienced realtor to reach out to Mary! ?”

“Mary was an exceptional realtor to work with as first time buyers and now homeowners! She went out of her way to help us understand the end-to-end home buying process. Mary educated us on the current market, how the pandemic was impacting the area and helped us throughout the process. She was always easily accessible and often would text or call us to simply check in- which made it so easy for us to purchase a home while we were away from the desirable seacoast market. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking in the Seacoast NH area!! My wife and I really enjoyed working with her, and will work with her in the future without question.”

“We absolutely loved working with Mary! After only a few conversations and sharing what we were looking for she had us look at a home just a few days later, and sure enough it was spot on and we put an offer in. Mary knows a lot about the area, takes the time to get to know you, what real estate investment you're interested in and is incredibly helpful in guiding you through the home buying process. She is simply lovely to work with! This was the first home my fiancé and I have ever bought and it was made all the better by working with Mary. As a young couple, we felt supported and informed throughout it all. Highly recommend reaching out and connecting with Mary - you won't regret it!”

“Mary helped us buy our house and then 8 years later helped us sell the same house. Mary was great throughout the full transaction - from initial consult complete with house prep/staging, pricing strategy/comparables, price negotiation, inspection deliverables and finally closing. Mary raised a family here and knows the local area as well as anyone. Mary set expectations appropriately. We highly recommend Mary for any looking to buy or sell a house in the NH Seacoast area!”

“Mary made the process easy to go through. During the set up of my property she offered excellent experience needed to get my property sold. She set up a solid day of showings in a quick and efficient manner. She always was responsive to my numerous questions throughout the sales process.”

“I recently made the decision to sell my house in Kingston, NH. When I was deciding on a realtor I approached a very close realtor friend of mine and he insisted that Mary was the perfect fit for my listing. He couldn't have been more right! She has an incredible system for listing and marketing the home and her photographer took amazing photos! She was incredibly familiar with the area and knew the exact price-point for the listing. When all was said and done, I had competing offers (all over asking price) and we had the house under agreement inside of a week. If you're looking to list your home in the Exeter/Seacoast area, Mary is the Best!”

“Mary is a joy to work with. Her expertise and professionalism helped guide us through what can be an overwhelming and uncertain experience. Mary's knowledge of the 'step-by-step' process as well as her unending sources to help with everything from small repairs to junk removal to staging, supported us as we prepared to sell our home. Following her advice lead to an extremely quick sale. Mary's positive energy and always helpful attitude were especially appreciated while we all figured out the 'new rules' as we faced the CV-19 world. We would highly recommend Mary as one of the best in the area.”

“I don't think we could have worked with a better agent to help us navigate a crazy time in the real estate market. Mary guided us and the buyers through the process, keeping us informed and on-track. We highly recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for an agent to help them buy or sell their home.”

“We recently worked with Mary to purchase a home in Exeter. She was excellent to work with. We really appreciated her knowledge about the area and she was always quick to respond to any questions we had. She kept us on track and we had a smooth transaction with the purchase of our home. It's obvious that she knows what she is doing and cares about her clients. I would not hesitate to recommend her to family and friends ?”

She is amazing and she's the one you want as your buyer's agent. ?”

“We love Mary! From the very beginning, she 'got us'. We knew we were in the right hands. Mary is experienced, knowledgeable and attentive. She took us through the purchasing process with patience and humor. We highly recommend her!”

“Mary is the best broker we have ever worked with. She is patient, was so helpful in teaching us about the different neighborhoods, listens to what you want and worked extremely hard to help us find a home in this challenging/competitive market. We highly recommend working with her.”

“Mary assisted us in the process of downsizing from a large home to a condominium. She is an accomplished real estate professional with exemplary attention to detail. Her responsiveness to our every question and concern assisted us through the hurdles of new construction. We cannot say enough about her 'make it happen' attitude and her tenacity to being a true buyer's agent! We wrapped up our closing seamlessly and enlisted Mary's services as a seller's agent to sell our home in Gilmanton, NH! Another success for us in knowing we chose the right agent!”

“I have worked with Mary several times selling real estate. She is professional, knowledgeable, detail oriented and a good communicator. I have worked with a number of agents over the years. There is no one I have worked with that is better than Mary.”

“Mary helped find the perfect house for us. Not easy, considering we were looking in coastal MA, NH and ME. We had many expectations but limited knowledge of the local markets. She's knowledgeable, an expert in her field and knows all three areas. She made the entire process very easy, making suggestions and providing choices/options along the way so we could consider our best interests. Everything went smoothly. She's also quick to get back to you with answers - very important. It was a pleasure doing business with Mary and my husband and I recommend her very highly.”

“We chose Mary after reading the multiple 5 star reviews. We were not disappointed. From the first call reaching out to her to the very end, she was quick to respond to our questions. From the time we called her in December to having the house photographed and listed was less than a week and with a contract 5 days later. She helped guide us to understand the offers and choose the best one. She checked in each step of the way up until the closing. I would highly recommend Mary Strathern for any real estate needs. We will definitely be calling her when we are search for our next home.”

“It was a pleasure working with Mary- she is super organized and keeps everyone in the loop. The whole purchase process was transparent from start to finish. A true professional”

“Mary is a fantastic agent who is hard working, knowledgeable, tough and a great communicator. We hired her to be our buyers agent and she expertly helped us navigate all the challenges of a tough market. She provided us with sound advice and kept us calm when things got tough. Her experience saved us from buying the wrong property more than once and in the end she helped us close on a fantastic property we love. Mary does all this while maintaining a great sense of humor which we so appreciated. I would highly recommend Mary to anyone who is looking to buy or sell real estate.”

She is great at calmly getting you through what can be an emotional and financial rollercoaster, gets right back to you if you have any questions or concerns and has lots of contacts with local trades to help you get your place sold. She always keeps her eye on the goal, has your best interests at heart and most importantly truly cares!!!!”

“Mary was a pleasure to work with both in finding a new home as we moved from Syracuse, NY to New Hampshire and in helping us navigate the home buying process. She provided several options for homes we might be interested in based on our price range and requirements. She set us up on a website that sent periodic new listings for us to review. She provided several good recommendations for mortgage lenders in the area which limited the amount of time spent reviewing different options. Once we had a contract to purchase a home in Concord, she provided us with a very useful timeline tool to make sure all the necessary activities were completed on time. She was instrumental in helping us negotiate a fair selling price from the sellers and obtaining needed repairs that were important to us. She also found us a home inspector after the purchase contract was signed. Finally, she provided us with good recommendations for places to visit and shop as we are new to the area. I highly recommend Mary if you are interested in purchasing a home in New Hampshire.”

If you're looking to list your home in the Exeter/Seacoast area, Mary is the Best!”

“My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Mary. This was our first time selling and buying, and while I expected the process to be overwhelming, Mary was exceptional in guiding us through each step to ease our burden. When we found our perfect home (after showing us several properties that fit our criteria), Mary was able to expedite listing our condo. She effectively marketed our property which produced a very active open house that ultimately lead to multiple offers. During the negotiations of our purchase, Mary kept our best interest at heart. She immediately addressed any concerns we had, provided us with excellent advise, and was incredibly knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell.”

“We worked with Mary as first time home buyers. She was responsive and knowledgeable. She kept us on schedule and remembered important details. We will certainly work with her again in the future.”

Mary does all this while maintaining a great sense of humor which we so appreciated. I would highly recommend Mary to anyone who is looking to buy or sell real estate.”

“I chose Mary after interviewing realtors I did not know and right from the start I knew I had chosen correctly. She immediately set up a time for photos and a date for an experienced designer to help with the best way to show our home. Together we picked a date for an open house and less than a week later we had an offer. During the process that followed, Mary was responsive to my emails and/or calls and kept me informed as to everything expected of me as the seller. She seemed to have a very good relationship with the buyer's broker and I always felt she had our best interest at heart. Now that our working relationship is over I feel I can call Mary a friend, and one I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a competent realtor.”

“We have used Mary for over a decade and she is the only realtor we will consider using. Mary has a wonderful command of the market. She is fair and honest and has always done a great job at both marketing and selling our homes. We have sold quickly and for exactly what we should have. From start to finish we have found that she has always exceeded our expectations. I have also had an opportunity to work with Mary on a professional and volunteer basis and again, she was a joy to work with.

“5 Stars”

She's truly the best around and I would recommend anyone looking for an experienced realtor to reach out to Mary!”

“My very first impression of Mary when we met was her energy. She is confident, knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The amount of traffic that occurred within 2 weeks of meeting Mary was astounding. There is no doubt in my mind my home sold due to her expertise of the area and the market.”

“Mary knows everyone- she helped me out with several trades/repair people. For example, my house went on the market in October-the time of year that the leaves continue to fall. I had no one to keep up with this on a regular basis. Mary gave me a name of someone she knew that was very good and inexpensive. From being in the business for over 15 years, she also knows a lot of other relators. She added a personal touch to my open houses by bringing in fresh baked goods!”

“Mary was incredibly helpful during our home-buying process. She provided good advice for things to look for in a home, helpful information on the area, and was very responsive with any and all questions we had. She made the closing process seamless and we heard from her almost every day, which was quite reassuring. Mary helped us find our dream home and we're incredibly grateful!”

“Mary was unbelievably helpful for us as we bought our first home. She made the process easy for us -- together we saw ~15 homes across a wide variety of styles. Mary was always responsive and efficient, and helped us stay on top of all the little things that are important. When we made a decision and went through with the purchase, she put us in touch with a fantastic network of local individuals who helped us with services we needed as new homeowners from out of town. We would love to be able to work with Mary again in the future!”

“It has been a pleasure working with Mary. She has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable and with all our needs. Mary is very friendly and easy to work with.”

“We just closed on selling our home in Exeter, and were 100% happy with Mary's representation. Over the years we had bought & sold 4 other homes before this one, and this was the easiest, most efficient, & successful transaction. Mary kept track of everything that needed to be done, was a delight to work with, and knew businesses that would do good work when we needed help (cleaning, etc.). She had several very interested buyers within the first few days, and one of them bought it at full asking price (which, at Mary's recommendation, was higher than what we had anticipated). The buyers were also very happy with the whole process, and are going to love living in the house, as well as being part of the close-knit and friendly neighborhood.”

“Mary was impressive from beginning to end. This was our first time selling a home in the US so it was important to us to feel that we were in a safe and competent pair of hands. Mary was very patient with us as we learned everything new. Through her guidance we got an offer the very next day after our open house. Her mix of pragmatism and negotiation skills got us to the right price. But it was in handling the quirks and minor crises that arise through any sale that she really shone. Everything was handled with professionalism and grace. If you're reading this looking for a realtor, stop looking. This is the one.”

“Mary was recommended by a friend and it was the best recommendation I have ever received. Mary made the whole process from start to finish as smooth as it could be when dealing with such a big deal type situation, i.e. buying a home. Mary did such a good job with helping me buy a house that I have signed her on to sell a home. Her and her teams efforts in pictures and listing information is top notch. Highly Recommended.”

“My wife and I were considering taking the plunge and purchasing our first home but were planning to wait it out a little longer due to what looked like a really challenging market. Unfortunately our apartment complex had other plans. After losing our heat for 5 days during an especially cold week in December we hit a snapping point and started researching realtors. Our hopes for finding a home weren't especially high given how few homes appeared in our price range but we needed to escape that apartment. Mary supported our search every step of the way. She was very familiar with the Seacoast/Exeter area which was important to us. Record low inventories on the NH seacoast made our search difficult and the first 2 homes we made offers on sold over list price within days. Mary pushed to get us the first viewing of a townhome in a neighborhood we were in love with. Getting in first and the help received getting a strong offer together prior to the viewing is what got us into our home. We would probably still be looking without Mary's help. Strongly recommended for those looking in NH, especially in the Exeter area.”

“Not sure how we would have handled the sale of our home without Mary's masterful mind, techniques, and approach. Mary was always there with helpful hints and responded rapidly to any question we asked. We would highly recommend Mary to anyone desiring to sell their home. She was always there or able to point us in the right direction. Mary greatly reduced the stress level at a time when things could have gotten out of control, she was always there to minimize any concern.”

“Mary came highly recommended and she did not disappoint. She was understood what we were looking for and zeroed in on the homes that matched our needs. We would highly recommend Mary as she guided us through each step in the home buying process.”

“We first hooked up with Mary through an online app. We were moving from Ohio. She made contact very quickly and was able to talk us through regional differences as well as many other things we hadn't even considered. We talked to a few other people and realized that Mary was the one! Personable, reliable, hardworking for us, and empathetic to our needs. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor. A+++!”

“When we were looking for a realtor we wanted someone that would truly dedicate their time, effort and skills to selling our home. Mary stood out as one of the best in the seacoast with an excellent reputation and marked sales numbers. She spent hours meeting with us, answering questions and helping us to stage our home for the listing. After photos were taken our listing looked amazing. The marketing efforts that she put forward after that were second to none. She made the entire process incredibly easy. She not only helped sell our house but she helped us find a new one as well. She truly went above and beyond in so many ways. Mary is a true professional and a wonderful person. We highly recommend Mary to anyone interested in selling or buying a home. She is innovative, driven, passionate, and will work nonstop with you to sell your home and make the entire process smooth and easy. She is fantastic! Nora and Tyler”

“My wife and I have now worked with Mary on both sides of the real estate transaction (buying and selling). During the sale of our Home of 10 years, Mary demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism that was consistently customer and process focused from beginning to end. It was evident that her 13 years of experience in this market has prepared her to anticipate potential issues with the transaction that enabled her to keep the transaction moving forward in a positive and amiable direction. We would highly recommend the services of Mary Strathern for your real estate needs.”

“Mary did an outstanding job throughout the entire home buying process. She was very responsive and able to answer any questions that came up. I highly recommend her services to my friends and family.”

“We had a wonderful experience working with Mary. She is extremely professional, responsive, personable, and was a great advocate for us during the process.”

“We worked with Mary both on the buyer and seller side. She was a trusted advisor from pre-listing to close. A large purchase or sale can be a volatile process but Mary kept all sides on task and moving forward (we even closed on both properties 2 weeks earlier than expected). Her experience and local knowledge was evident at all points of the process. There are very few if any scenarios that she hasn't encountered in this area. I feel like all agents say they have your interests as their focal point, Mary proved it throughout the process to us. We have been happy to recommend her to friends as a result of our experience with her.”

“We got in touch with Mary during the search for our first home. That was the first decision we made towards owning our house and it was by far, the best. Mary is extremely knowledgeable and made our home buying process a breeze. Not only did she help us negotiate the best deal with the seller, she also connected us to the mortgage company, helped us during home inspection and all the steps in between till closing. Even after closing, she helped us get connected with local professionals to take care of our home improvement needs. We never imagined home buying would be so easy and it's all because of Mary”

“We had tried to sell our house several years ago without success. After one open house we had an offer the next day. Mary's service was exactly what we needed. Mary also help us buy the home of our Dreams! Thank you Mary!”

“This is the second time I've worked with Mary on the purchase of a home. She's phenomenal. She has a lot of knowledge about local communities, school districts, house values, etc. Her response time is incredible. I'm not sure how she stays organized juggling all the clients she has, but I always feel like I'm her 'most important' client and my guess is, every one who works with her feels that way. One of my favorite things about Mary is that she's a good listener. I know I had something specific in mind which she was happy to show me, but based on what I was saying she had me look at a different type of home. She was absolutely right! I fell in love with my new place the moment I walked in and it really surprised me. Mary is very respectful of your concerns/desires but she's also very intuitive and makes suggestions based on that. I give her my fullest recommendation! She's fantastic to work with!”

“Mary is awesome! We wouldn't have found the perfect house if it hadn't been for her help! She got in touch right when we were interested in starting to think about buying a house, gave excellent advice about our original thinking, and made the time to accommodate us on very short notice.”

“Mary Strathern excels at communication. She is in touch before, during, and after the home searching process. Mary knows the market and knows how to relate to the customer, in order to figure out what the customer is looking for and what will suit the customer. I am extremely pleased with the condominium and community that I found through Mary, when I was making a long distance move. I felt very comfortable with her knowledge of the area and her guidance through the process. On top of it all, she has a great personality, so spending time with Mary was enjoyable. Nancy Koberstein Exeter, New Hampshire”

“We recently utilized Mary for a home purchase in Exeter, NH. She acted as a duel agent for both us and the seller. Throughout the process she was extremely professional and impartial, providing what we believe was excellent advice to both parties in the transaction. Moreover, Mary has excellent knowledge about the greater-Exeter area and comparable home sales, which was helpful as we negotiated towards a price both parties could agree upon. We would highly recommend Mary for anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Exeter area.”

“Mary was with us every step of the way to make sure we made a reasonable offer, completed the paperwork in a timely and accurate manner, and helped us organize the home inspection process. She has been an excellent resource for us as we worked through the process of purchasing our first home, and I would recommend her to anyone interested in purchasing a home.”

“A good friend of mine put me in touch with Mary as my family and I were preparing to look for a home in Exeter. Fast forward seven months, I am so glad she did! After describing our needs, Mary was great in finding those properties that would suit us well. Even though it was early to start looking, she called, and texted every time something came up. Mary was always available to answer questions and catered to our busy schedules so we were able to look at a house within a day or so. She maintained a good balance between us and the sellers, and I felt she was really working hard for both parties. Mary was great at the big and little reminders along the way, making sure we hit all the checkpoints before closing! Thank you Mary!”

“I highly recommend Mary. She is a dedicated hard worker. She knows what it takes to get your house sold and her advice is solid. She keeps you updated on the progress of your sale and seemed to be available 24/7!”

“Mary was very helpful throughout the entire home buying process. As we got to know each other, she was able understand what was important to me in a home (and more importantly, what wasn't). In the end, we found a great place that fits all of my needs. I would recommend Mary when looking for your next home.”

“Overall Pleasure! Stayed on the search and was very responsive. Had all the details correctly for each site visited and followed up on any questions. Provide additional information beyond what was listed that allow us to make our decision”

“I would strongly recommend Mary. She was a great guide and advisor, and she was key in getting me what I wanted for my property. She is fun to work with, smart and knows how to deal with 'situations.' She always kept me in 'the know' and was instrumental in navigating a transaction that could have gone 'sideways' but didn't because of her experience and 'know how.' Her counsel was great! A warm, caring person, Mary goes beyond the expected and delivers results. If you are not currently working with Mary, you should consider it!”

“Mary was very professional and knowledgeable. She was always available for questions and always followed up with us right away. She helped us with any concerns we had with properties we were looking at and was great at negotiating and representing us in making an offer and keeping us on track with closing. She was a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend her!”

“Where do I even begin to describe what a wonderful experience that I had working with Mary? When it came time to sell my house, I called Mary based on her reputation as 'the' person you needed to call if you were listing property in Exeter. Her reputation is well deserved as I found her to be proactive, highly communicative, transparent, direct and when needed, aggressive. Mary truly partnered with my wife and I, and guided us through the sale of our house while concurrently identifying appropriate houses for us to consider purchasing in the SAU 16 School District. She assessed what our needs were for a new home and had an encyclopedic knowledge of properties on the market and which ones were worth the time to see in person. She dispassionately provided sound feedback on each house and truly became a trusted adviser. I would recommend Mary without any reservations and will use her again in the future when the time comes to buy a ski house.”

“A realtor who works with you and gets things done in a prompt and quick manner. She took care of everything in Exeter for us and worked with us completely remotely. She took care of inspection, to arranging for a closing company. She is not just a realtor but like a family member. She made sure that the entire process from buying to entering and after that goes on very smoothly. We would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a home in and around Exeter.”

“Mary did a great job selling my house. She set up an open house as soon as it was on the market, which led to a favorable selling price. She also expertly negotiated multiple offers to get what I wanted. She is easy going, yet can be firm when needed. It was a pleasure to work with Mary.”

“We are a relocation and Mary took the time to show us the area and gave tips about the schools, restaurants and service providers. It was most helpful that she gave me a list of several mortgage professionals that helped us to close the deal. During the closing process she gave advice when needed.”

“I can't say enough good things about Mary and how easy she made the process of selling our house. Mary is very knowledgeable about the Seacoast area - she knows what types of properties are moving, amenities, prices, and timing. Mary provided excellent guidance on prepping our home for listing. She was extremely responsive any time we reached out to her and she handled the sales process with one hand tied behind her back. I recommend Mary Strathern to anyone looking to buy or sell in the NH Seacoast!”

“Mary was good to work with. Was responsive and helpful during a difficult purchase in which my bank and the seller were very difficult to deal with. I would recommend her for other transactions. Knowledgeable of the local NH seacoast area.”

“Mary is very professional and made buying our first home an easy process. She is very knowledgeable and was honest with us from the beginning about what to expect. We would highly recommend her!”

“Mary is amazing! She has gone out of her way to help us with the home buying process. We are first time home buyers, and she really educated us on what we needed to know, and helped us throughout the whole process. She is always very accessible, which makes it so much easier when you are working crazy hours. I don't know what we would of done without her, I would definitely recommend her to anyone I know!! I've really enjoyed working with her, and will work with her in the future, if need be.”

“We were quite pleased with Mary. In looking to relocate from California, Mary was very helpful in navigating a different real estate market and process than the one we were familiar with. She was extremely responsive - so much so that she made us feel like we were her only client. We appreciated how hard and smart Mary worked for us. Her professionalism. Her responsiveness. Her attention to detail and follow-up. Her patience. Her insights and recommendations. We plan to engage her again.”

“Mary is a MASTER realtor! She gave me the best guidance towards selling my house and buying another in the most timely manner. She sold my house in a week in the middle of DECEMBER. Who says you can't sell a house at that time of year! Mary paid attention to every detail in order to make my selling and purchasing seamless. I am extremely grateful for her knowledge and expertise in the real estate world!”

“Mary assisted me with the sale of my home. I would highly recommend her as she was very professional and knowledgeable. Any questions I had, she promptly and thoroughly answered. She fought for our asking price and we were under contract in just over two weeks! She was a pleasure to work with.”

“We were so pleased with Mary Strathern throughout the entire process. She helped us sell our old home, find, and purchase our new one. Her expertise in the Seacoast area was invaluable. She was super attentive, and worked very hard. She or her associate attended every showing at our old house, threw open houses, and got us in to every new house we wanted to see. Since Mary knew Exeter so well, she really helped us pick a great neighborhood that she knew we would be happy in. We closed on both houses in the same day, and everything went perfectly smoothly. Not a single hitch. If you're buying or selling in this area, we highly recommend Mary and her team!”

“It was great working with Mary while buying our new home in Exeter. She is so knowledgeable about the process and the area. No glitches. She was very responsive to any questions we asked and we would be happy to recommend her to buyers or sellers.”

“I was a reluctant seller. I raised a family in my house over the last twenty years, and I was sad to leave. I wanted a realtor who simply would do the job, someone capable but impersonal. As it turned out, Mary Strathern was highly capable, but far from impersonal. The level of attention we received was unexpected. Barely a day went by without a call from Mary. There were a number of problems to be addressed, and Mary handled them all with great care and patience. There was nothing that got by her, due to her exceptional organizational skills. She took great care to insure that deadlines were met, financing secured, and then made sure that the closing was seamless. During this, she also found us a house to go to. We were extremely pleased with Mary's work ethic and attention to all the details. I would strongly recommend Mary for any real estate transaction.”

“I was really glad to have Mary as my buying agent. I was very pleased with her knowledge and experience. I had several questions throughout the buying process and Mary had the answers. She made the process worry-free and smooth. It is my opinion that Mary has the experience and dedication that a buyer should have when making one of the most important purchases one will make. It was a pleasure to work with her and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.”

“Mary was wonderful to work with. She kept us in the loop with every showing and buyer's comments. Excellent at staging the home and presenting our home with the photo's and description.”

“I highly recommend Mary if you are looking to own your own home. Her vast knowledge and willingness to answer questions made me feel that she understood what I needed. I was able to make sound decisions based on the needs of my family and ended up in a place I love.”

“I have experience working with several buyer's agents and would highly recommend Mary Strathern to anyone interested in relocating to the Exeter area, including all of the towns in that district as well as neighboring communities. She has her thumb on the pulse of neighborhood information, market value and things to watch out for in a particular property. Consummate professional I will call her when I eventually sell my home.”

“We started working with Mary after our contract with another realtor ran out. She took over marketing our house during the holiday season, a traditionally quiet time in real estate, but showed it more times during that slow period than the previous realtor showed it during the prior six months. Mary's knowledge and professionalism are unparalleled – she was never unavailable or too busy to answer our phone calls and e-mails. Best of all, she found a buyer in four months, in spite of one of the snowiest winters on record. I whole-heartedly recommend her to everyone I know.”

“Mary was very professional and personable. She was a pleasure to work with and helped make selling our house and buying a new one, a stress free process.”

“Mary was a very patient and willing partner in our quest to find a home in Exeter. We first met 4-5 years ago when we were getting an idea of what we might want in the area. Then a year or so later, she took us around again. Finally, this winter, we made the final decision after looking once again at the available condos. We would certainly recommend Mary to anyone looking in the Rockingham County area.”

“As first time home buyers, Mary helped us navigate through the process each step of the way. She provided us with objective information about homes to help us make decisions which made the process go very smoothly. She was almost always available to talk us through steps, even when she was away on vacation! We are extremely satisfied with our experience working with Mary and would recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the seacoast area.”

“Mary was very accommodating in showing us homes in a timely manner. She was very knowledgeable about the homes we saw and answered all our questions as soon as she could.”

“Mary Strathern is a First-class realtor. We can't thank her enough for her professionalism, expertise, and hard work in helping us find our home in New Hampshire. We could not have been happier with how helpful she was, and how understanding of our lack of experience. She made herself available anytime we wanted to look at houses and was always reachable whenever we had a question. She set up an automatic search feature for us that gave us a daily report of newly listed homes. In addition, using her contacts(of which she has many!) she actively sought out houses which met our criteria and that we might not have been aware of. Along with being an expert in her field, she is personable, patient, and a skilled communicator. She has a way of making you feel confident and letting you know that each issue is temporary and she will be able to solve it. Mary helped us every step of the way from the initial search to closing, We found her going the extra mile for us more than once. And, as an added bonus, she is a charming and delightful person. She is skilled, warm, and committed to the Seacoast community, where she seems to know everyone. Mary held our hands through the offer process and several complications that arose prior to closing. She has a broad knowledge of the local market and the greater world of real-estate and she brought that insightful professionalism to bear on our behalf. She made the entire transaction a delight. I look forward to working with her again, any time.”

“I've worked with bad realtors, and I've worked with good realtors. Mary is exceptional. She helped place my family in great temporary housing (rental)after a move from Vermont and worked diligently with us to find our permanent home. Her knowledge of the markets, communities, school systems was incredibly valuable for us. She showed great patience, resolve and understanding in finding the perfect house as she really took the time to get to know us and understand what we wanted/needed. We have gone through big transitions and she really made it as stress-free as possible. I highly recommend her without any reservation.”

“Mary took us out to see properties in several communities. She had great knowledge of all of these areas and was on top of all the details to make our new home a reality. I would not hesitate to refer Mary to family , friends or anyone else.”

“My husband and I were very satisfied with the level of care and expertise that Mary brought to the process of selling our home. Mary is extremely knowledgeable of the local area and market trends. She exercised great care in listening to our needs and determining the fair market value of our home. We had viable offers within 10 days of listing our home. We were very grateful that we chose Mary as our realtor.”

“Mary represented the seller in our home purchase. We found her to be very professional and personable. She was also very accommodating with our no-notice requests to get into the house for measurements, etc. Our transaction went very smoothly.”

“Mary sold our house in 5 days , helped us buy a new home and we are in the process of working with her again to purchase a renovation property. I would absolutely recommend Mary because she is so hard working and responsive. She seems to be available 7 days a week-always there when you need her! Mary is knowledgeable on either side of the real estate transaction, she takes the time to learn what is going to be the best for her customers, asks the right questions, and follows through very professionally. We look forward to working with her for many more real estate ventures!”

“Professional, resourceful, responsive, cheerful and supportive, Mary made what might otherwise be a complicated or stressful experience -- selling a house for the first time -- comprehensible and easy to navigate. She worked tirelessly to accomplish the sale of my property within the time frame I was hoping for. I am most fortunate to have had Mary represent me as a listing agent and recommend her highly and without reservation.”

“As first time home buyers, we were clueless and terrified about the whole process of buying a house. She was highly recommended to us by multiple people, and we can absolutely see why. In the beginning, she took the time to sit with us and help us to find exactly which types of houses and areas we were looking in. We found a few that we were interested in, and she worked with our schedules to get us in to see them almost immediately. We ended up making same-day offers on 2 homes very early in the process, where Mary stayed up until around midnight helping us submit them. Both homes fell through, by no fault of hers, and she encouraged us not to be discouraged by a rough start, and promised that we would find the perfect home. She kept us up to date on new houses to the market that we may have been interested in, got us in to every home we wanted to see impressively fast, and was always readily available by phone or email. Mary was an absolute rock star during the home showings. She asked all the questions we didn't know to ask, and was able to answer the multitude of questions we had with greatly appreciated honesty. We trusted Mary completely during the entire process and NEVER felt as though she had anything but our best interest in mind. As Mary promised, we found our perfect home. When our offer was accepted, we weren't even nervous about the buying process because we knew we would be fine with Mary on our team. She even arranged for another agent to come to part of our inspection, because the day and time worked best for us. Mary Strathern greatly exceeded all of our expectations. She has even followed up with us multiple times after the purchase of our home to check on us. We have, and will continue to, HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

“In Summer of 2014, Mary helped us find an Exeter home that was we feel was a great value. We have yet to find another Exeter listing that better met our requirements than the home she found for us. We handed Mary perhaps the biggest challenge a broker can face -- helping us find a great house, while only being able to show homes to the husband. She was relentless in identifying homes that best met our needs, and providing local insight into those properties that had unique value. Her recommendations were always accurate -- we learned that when Mary indicated a home would move fast, she was right. So, when our new home came on the market, Mary made sure we were one of the first in to view it, and she made some final recommendations on price that ensured we'd successfully purchase the property.”

“Mary was a true professional. She was able to fine tune our needs and didn't waste any time showing us homes we wouldn't like. Mary ended up selling us a house that wasn't even on the market yet. She is truly the best and would highly recommend her.”

“Mary was great in every way... she really knew the area in depth and was very honest and communicative throughout the process. She's even been in touch since we moved in to make sure we're getting along in our new home!”

“I am a future buyer but needed to lease a home for the interim. The assistance that Mary provided (without the benefit of a sales commission) went above and beyond all expectations! Mary is so proactive that she is already working on helping me in my future purchase despite that being several years away. I receive updates on real estate postings continuously. Simply put, I was amazed at how much efficient and productive effort that this realtor provided to me, and I will not even think of using anyone else in the future.”

“Mary is top-notch. She's quite knowledgeable and very serious about getting properties sold. She knows the market well, knows how to help you to understand the value of your property, and how to bring your home into the market. She was on top of every aspect of the process which was a real boon, as we were relocating out of the area. Our house was selling over a holiday period at a time when the market was just barely starting to recover. Mary helped us to understand those dynamics yet respected our inputs and helped us to understand the trade-offs we were making in the price vs. time on market curve. All in all, we were quite impressed. We would definitely solicit Mary's services again and would happily recommend her to anyone we know.”

“After we found the house of our dreams, Mary helped us get our old property on the market and sold in just 1 week! She was extremely helpful and available through the entire experience. We ran into several tricky situations and it is thanks to Mary that we were able to move forward with the sale and even close on time. Her experience, negotiation skills and tenacity made the entire experience as smooth and quick as it could have possibly been. We were also impressed with the very high level of integrity she demonstrated from the first day we met her through the closing of our home. Thanks Mary!”

“I have known Mary professionally for many years. She has shown my family and me homes on several different occasions and I have felt very confident that she always has had our best interests in mind. Life's circumstances changed and it became time to rent. Mary understood my personal needs very well and was persistent, available and extremely helpful in helping me get into the new home that I wanted and needed. She is very sharp, motivated and has wonderfully creative ideas. I would undoubtedly use Mary for buying and selling as well and have recommended her several times to very satisfied friends and acquaintances over the years. Highly recommended!”

“Mary is the consummate real estate professional in an industry that is not always known for honesty and integrity. Mary's local knowledge is immense. She helped me buy a home that had been on the market for hours; she has leads on homes before they hit the MLS. Mary did a great job helping me both buy and sell properties. She directed me to all the help I needed, including mortgage company, home inspector, and even a junk removal service when I was moving. Mary does not stop providing service once the deal closes. She is always available to provide service referrals for home maintenance. To Mary the sale is more than just a transaction; she wants to help you with all your real estate needs for the long term. Mary is a tough but very fair negotiator who always puts the client first. She tells it like it is and works to protect her client. I would absolutely work with Mary again and have given her name out as a referral many times.”

“We interviewed several agents and Mary came across as very professional and knowledgeable of the current market. In the somewhat difficult position of representing both the seller and the buyer, Mary showed honesty and integrity. Through her excellent listening skills, people skills and extensive contacts, she finds great pleasure in finding the 'right fit' between homeowner and home and this allowed us to sell our home quickly”

“We were so lost in the process of buying a home before we found Mary!! She helped us every step of the way, with amazing advice, patience, and humor. Not only did she help us find the house we had always wanted, she truly made the process easy to understand and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Mary to anyone in the Seacoast area and especially for first time buyers!”

“Mary did a fantastic job helping us find our new home! Her knowledge of the area was very helpful in figuring out which location we wanted to be in. Originally we were 'just looking', but she very quickly helped us narrow down our nice-to-haves and need-to-haves and found us the perfect house!”

“Mary helped us find a home when we relocated to the area. During this stressful process, she helped us make decisions based on her understanding of our requirements and needs. She is very professional and knowledgeable and always responded in a prompt manner to our various questions. We would highly recommend her.”

“Mary found the perfect home for me and arranged for me to see it immediately. After looking at 15 or more with her and when she found mine she knew it was the right one. She is efficient, professional and thorough. I never hesitate to refer people to her., in fact she sold a condo for my husband upon my recommendation to him.”

“Mary's knowledge and expertise helped us sell our home in challenging times. She used her network of resources and creativity to bring different approaches and staging techniques for showings as well as generating additional looks to real estate agents by hosting walk throughs for agent groups and events. She is adept at using her extensive knowledge of the seacoast with her creativity to bring a value I have not experienced from other agents and highly recommend Mary.”

“Mary was wonderful to work with. She was always available for any questions we had and made the process go smoothly. She helped us get the land we had been dreaming of. I would highly recommend Mary!”

“my principal interest in an agent is someone who is responsive to me....returns my phone calls, sees what I am saying and want, and responds to that...I found Mary Strathern tops in that regard...she had the information I wanted; connected when it was necessary; got back to me promptly by email, phone, handled the matters with other agents, dealt with other agents well, and therefore I would rate her five star”

“It has always been a pleasure dealing with Mary through the years. I have even listed Mary as a leading Real Estate Professional on my own Website for my customers to find. We have worked together assisting her customers on home inspection repairs that have taken place to sell their properties. I have gained many more customers from those people and from the other home sellers who we met through the repair work or their Realtors asking us for a business card. My work is only promoted by word of mouth and we are normally filled in our schedule. Wayne Rasch”

“I have worked with Mary Strathern on purchasing my home, the transaction was very complex due to many reasons related to the seller, but Mary did an excellent job making it happen. Mary pays a lot of attention to details and she is very responsive. Mary kept us informed on daily basis until we completed the transaction. Mary has been also helping one of my organizations on a commercial property and did a great job so far.”

“Professional, compassionate and a loyal person. Very few people have Mary Strathern's qualities or the ability to work as hard for the client as she does. Mary is a great negotiator, firm but yet very kind. Thank you for all your help through out my transactions.”

“My association with Mary began as a result of another agent's (at another agency) unwillingness to keep an appointment with me for a showing during a snow storm. It was a Saturday and after contacting Mary, she arranged a showing later that same day! Mary is a quintessential professional! She also demonstrated tremendous expertise in matching me with the most effective mortgage scenario. I have every confidence in offering her the highest recommendation possible.”

“I have worked with Mary over the past year, and have put my trust in her with my commercial real estate needs. She is very hard working & always in constant communication with you. She will give you honest advise, and will do what it takes to help you with your goals! I have highly recommended her to friends, and they also have been very impressed working with her.”

“Our home was on the market for over 6 months with very little activity... We ended our relationship with that broker and had Mary take over our listing. HOUSE WAS SOLD in two weeks! She is professional, courteous, knowledgeable and reasonable in all matters real estate. I highly recommend Mary for any prospective buyer or seller. THANK YOU Mary!”

“Mary is constantly striving to improve her business through relationship building, community involvement, and knowledge sharing. She has excellent communication and negotiation skills and will not stop until she gets the job done! She always goes above and beyond all expectations to help anybody out! I would highly recommend Mary as both a business colleague and a realtor.”

“Mary actually listens. . she listened to what I was looking for, and helped me find it. She is also very patient, we re-visited several properties. I was beginning to think I would never buy, but Mary had faith. Now I am in a beautiful new home. Thanks Mary”

“Mary has more experience buying and selling homes in Rockingham County than any other agent I have spoken to. In addition, she is lightning fast with her communication techniques and when it comes to negotiating, her eloquent assertiveness will put you in a position to get the best deal on your new home! Thank you Mary!”

“I'm relocating for work and Mary helped me find great temporary living arrangements while we work on finding a home for whole family to move into. She was very professional and did a good job, even though rentals are not her main area of expertise. I can't wait to work with her to find our permanent home!”

“Mary was a great help for me in my recent move to NH. She went above and beyond to help me find a great rental in the Seacoast area. Mary was very friendly and helped me get exactly what I needed in the area. I would recommend her to anyone looking to find a new home! Thanks Mary!”

“Mary was extremely helpful in our process of renting a home in the NH area. Despite our being from out of state and only having a few short days in town she expertly coordinated the rentals we wanted to see and sent over many in advance for our review. She was knowledgeable, flexible, and extremely friendly and easy to work with. It was a great joy working with her and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy sell or rent a home”

“Before I met Mary, I was having an extremely difficult time renting one of the investment properties that I own. Mary had the knowledge and the contacts to get it rented within 48 hrs. I look forward to working with her in the future. Thanks Mary!”
