Real Estate Tips

Homebuyers Should Hire an Inspector 

Homebuyers are urged to conduct an inspection even if the home comes with a warranty. They should also ensure that their inspector has plenty of experience and abides by the membership requirements of the American Society of Home Inspectors or other trade groups.  

Home Warranties Warrant Close Attention  

Warranties can help make homebuyers more confident about the quality of their new dwellings.  

Flaunt Your Home's Curb Appeal 

When selling your home, curb appeal is essential, because it can create a first impression of your home.  

Too Much Insurance is Better Than Not Enough 

Research shows that 64 percent of the nation's homes were about 27 percent underinsured in 2003. But owners can ensure that they have adequate coverage by updating their policies to account for changes in replacement value.  

Client Testimonials

Any real estate person can sell a quality home in a good market.  It takes an exceptional real estate person to sell a home, (in not the greatest location) in a slow market!  Thank you for your perseverance, assertiveness and professionalism!  And while all these qualities are important, it was your constant upbeat and confident attitude that pulled us through some adverse situations.  For all the little things, "above and beyond the call", we thank you.

~ Nancy & John P.

You are a "real pro", especially when it came to presenting our contract, you always kept our best interest in mind; rather than sell, sell, sell.  We recommend you wholeheartedly!

~Richard & Donna K.

As a satisfied client of Mary Kay Ellman, I can attest to her outstanding abilities, background, experience and knowledge of today's marketplace. Selling and purchasing a home can be a tedious, frustrating experience. The decisions made directly involve a customer's well being. I was so pleased to be represented by someone of Mrs. Ellman's caliber.
