MaryEllen Rubenstein of CENTURY 21 Redwood Realty

Mary Ellen was a pleasure to work with. Her professionalism, knowledge of the area, negotiation skills and personality made my home purchase a very easy transaction. She listened, understood my needs and provided excellent service throughout the process.

Mary Ellen is professional and knowledgeable, and really works hard to understand her clients needs. If you're considering her to be your realtor, consider no longer. Just say yes!

This is our fifth transaction with MaryEllen and it won't be the last. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, is highly knowledgeable about the local market and we count on her for referrals to many other professionals necessary to complete the transaction. The entire transaction to purchase our home took place without so much as a hiccup.

I cannot recommend Mary Ellen highly enough. In preparing to sell the house, I interviewed three brokers. Mary Ellen was head and shoulders above the other two candidates, one of whom is also active in the area and has a relatively high profile. Mary Ellen's professionalism and knowledge of the market was apparent from the first moments of our initial meeting. Mary Ellen went on manage the sales process exquisitely. I received an offer at list price without having to stage the property or have open houses, etc. She leveraged her network to achieve the optimal results....get the list price, with the least amount of hassle. I cannot over emphasize how Mary Ellen's experience and expertise led to a successful outcome...she knew exactly what needed to be "updated" and was candid about what updates were "must haves" and which would not be worth the money/effort. Further, Mary Ellen's network of service providers proved to be invaluable for me. From the start of the initial discussion with Mary Ellen, it felt like I was her most important client. She continually went 'above and beyond'. It felt like it was her life's mission to deliver the results that I had hoped for. She understood what was important to me, managed the process impeccably and delivered exactly as she said she would. Mary Ellen is worth her weight in gold. She is a delight to work with. I cannot recommend Mary Ellen highly enough. Any firm or client would be lucky to have her working on their behalf.

Mary Ellen worked tirelessly to help us find exactly what we were looking for. And she replied to emails within minutes. She was a tremendous help to us, as first time buyers, stepping us through the process of finding and buying a house.

First time home buyer, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. MaryEllen is great at reading the situational cues and providing you what you need. If you want someone hands off, she'll do that. If you want an aggressive negotiator, she'll do that too. Very knowledgeable about the area, along with all facets of the house, inspections, and willing to
