“Mary was just the one we needed in the process of selling our Seattle home-professional, knowledgeable, always in our corner. Our situation required our property selling on a very tight schedule, and Mary was right there for us making it happen. She is an expert in the insane Seattle real estate market, with lots of experience and know-how. I recommend Mary Petrie giving her 5 STARS!"

“We recently sold our house, in 8 days. But it was a long process getting to the point of selling the house my husband and I loved and had been in for 16 years. Mary worked with us, never pushed but was with us until we made the decision to list our house and sell. We trusted her advice and it paid off, literally. We can’t say enough about Mary, her professionalism, her style when it came to staging our home, keeping us informed every step of the way and even holding our hands through the process when it was needed. She is objective and truly has her client’s interest at heart instead of commission.”

“Mary was a dream to work with. This was my first home buying experience. I was nervous and inexperienced. Mary was so incredibly patient with me, answered all of my inane questions and on more than one occasion, went above and beyond for me. Her experience is incomparable. My daughter and I are now in our first home and I couldn’t be happier! I would recommend Mary to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, experienced, kind, hard working Realtor!”

“Mary was the best! Very thorough, professional & a great person to work with.”

“I sincerely appreciated the opportunity to work with you again. Your professionalism and expertise were instrumental in navigating the unexpected hurdles in closing. Thank you for you all you did to make my closing successful. I will certainly be recommending you to any friends who are looking to list or buy a home. I look forward to us crossing paths again soon.”

“Mary was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire home purchase process. She led us through the process step by step and made what can be a rather daunting experience a painless one she is knowledgeable, attentive to detail and easy to reach and communicate with. We always felt she had our best interests at heart. I would definitely work with her again and would also be very willing to recommend her to anyone with real estate needs. She is top notch!”

“Dear Mary, Couldn't resist calling to your attention that I am happily enjoying my condo. And how did I get just the right one? Your true professionalism and personal sense of caring did it! Jenny and I thank you ! Please stop and say hello if you get to Edmonds. Our love to you.”

“This is an awesome agent! We moved recently from the Bay Area to Seattle and we used Mary as our agent. Mary has great skills, high standards and great taste! She knows the area well and seeks to find that perfect for house for her clients We have been in our home a little over 5 months and could not be happier…thanks Mary!”

“Mary definitely went the extra mile in all aspects of my real estate purchase. She found an off-market property in exactly the development I wanted and did all the footwork to bring the transaction through to a quick and successful close. Mary is excellent!!”

“Over the past four years my wife and I have purchased two homes and sold another; Mary has been with us every step of the way. She has provided sage advice and counsel, going beyond what we could ever expect. With an amazing network of professionals providing support from inspections and photography to repair and cleaning and so much more, Mary’s network is expansive, dedicated, and as professional as she. In our last home sale, Mary’s support and dedication was truly amazing, arranging inspections on the shortest of notice and facilitating negotiations across hemispheres. Regardless of any obstacles or points of natural “home-sale negotiation” friction, Mary delivered on all fronts. Though I hope the pace of our own real estate transactions have slowed for the time being, if life has different plans, we will not hesitate to enlist Mary. I recommend that anyone interested in working with the most professional and capable agent contact Mary, they won’t be disappointed. We appreciate all your help and support over the years and will not hesitate to point people your direction."

“They say buying a home is one of the most stressful experiences in life. Now try making an offer on a new home that’s contingent on the selling of your existing home, with only 10 days to get that existing home ready to put on the market. Fortunately, I was in great hands with Mary Petrie, who helped guide me through the process, and made a possibly catastrophic experience into one that was survivable.
Although I loved my townhome, I had come to terms with the fact that I had outgrown it. I reached out to Mary, who had sold me the townhome, to request that we go looking for a new home, with a bit more space. Mary was very helpful in finding various properties that fit what I was looking for, in the neighborhood I was hoping to move to. As luck would have it, our first stop was the very home I ended up purchasing.
Once a contingent offer had been accepted, Mary helped me prepare my townhome for sale and researched townhomes in the area to better my judgement in setting an appropriate asking price in our current real estate market. Mary went above and beyond in staging my home to perfection, and even included an amazing drone-shot video footage of my property for advertising.
My townhome ended up selling in record time, and I was able to close on my contingent buy without any issues. The buy/sell process was definitely a stressful experience, but, thanks to Mary and her team, all the stress paid off, and I am happily residing in my beautiful new home.”

“Mary was extremely helpful for my husband and I buying our first home and doing the whole process long distance as we were moving across the country. She was very prompt in all of her replies and helped us get our first choice home.”

"We have used Mary Petrie to buy 2 homes and sell 1 all within the last 4 years. We were referred to her by a friend who was a realtor we wanted to work with to buy our first home in Manchester (near Port Orchard, WA) but he specialized in Seattle only, so he gave us her name. Mary has unending, positive “can-do” energy and is willing to take her clients anywhere in the Puget Sound region they want to venture to, in order to find the right house. When the going gets tough, Mary GETS GOING. She has a great eye for a home’s potential. When looking for a home, she is quick to point out potential issues but also has excellent ideas on how to mitigate or fix those problems, or when they are going to be a real problem. She has YOUR best interest at heart. She has a wealth of knowledge on what needed to be done to get our home ready for sale, with the simplest, most practical and LEAST expensive “fixes”. Her ideas worked and we literally sold our home in a 3 day period with multiple offers. She has an excellent team of subcontractors who produced a beautiful video and virtual tour of our home that we sold. Her inspectors who came and wrote the report on the home we purchased were top notch contractors who inspected the entire property, not just the house, and wrote up a great report that we are following to bring our new house to the next level. And keep it in tip top shape. She is a thoughtful, kind, intelligent person who will guide you through the VERY stressful home-buying AND selling experience with a gentle, firm, calming hand."

"Mary expertly guided my wife and me through the very tricky process of purchasing our first home in Seattle. She went above and beyond all expectations to ensure that the process went smoothly and that we were well-informed with regular updates every step of the way. She answered all of our questions and concerns quickly and her kind and very helpful nature made her an absolute pleasure to work with. For all of these reasons and more, we can't recommend Mary enough!"

“Mary Petrie assisted our family to find our perfect home. The market was a crazy roller coaster of emotion for us, but Mary was very attentive to our needs. She understood the perfect balance of active and assertive coordination with the seller’s agent to assure our offer was accepted. Her down to earth and knowledge of the market paved the way for us to develop a strategy that not only allowed for a winning bid but was attainable within our means. Her quick and attentive nature was much appreciated understanding when a house was first listed, we would need to jump at it quickly to have a chance at an offer. Her connections in the industry with brokers, inspectors and general home improvement knowledge eased our concerns of any industry mistrust. She paid particular detail to our preferred needs, spent countless hours with us and ultimately enabled us to find our first-time home in the PNW.”

“Mary advocated for me at every step and successfully got me into my dream home, rather painlessly. As a first-time home buyer, there was quite a intimidating learning curve and she walked me through patiently and with empathy. She was ensured that I was as competitive as possible (and within my comfort zone) and with her help and expertise, I was able to purchase the first home I put an offer on in an extremely competitive market. It was a really positive experience and I felt safe, confident and cared for the entire time. Highest recommendation!”

"Mary Petrie first represented me as a buyer's agent when I was looking to move to the Seattle area from San Jose, CA. After meeting up and talking about what my goals and preferences were, Mary took me out to tour the Seattle area and review properties. After getting to know more about what I was looking for, Mary introduced me to Edmonds, WA. It was love at first sight! After I went back home to California, Mary searched out and found THE PERFECT EDMONDS condo -- off market -- and I soon became the happy owner. After four years at my sweet condo, I decided to sell and look at housing options in Seattle. I called Mary and she got into action and gave me all the information I needed to make smart decision about selling. She represented me with her excellent market knowledge, top quality marketing strategy and materials including a gorgeous video and still photos for the internet. Five days on the market (during the February 21 snow storm that shut down Seattle and Covid) and I received 5 strong offers, with the winning offer at 25% over the asking price! Mary is polished, professional, friendly and works extremely well with other brokers. She's been a delight to work with as both a buyer and a seller. Both transactions have been stress-free with no bumps in the road. I highly recommend Mary for your next real estate transaction."

“My recent home purchase was my 3rd real estate transaction with Mary since moving to the Seattle area- and there is a reason I place trust in her. Not only does she build lasting and meaningful relationships with her clients, she truly gets to know what you are looking for and exudes patience on the path to achieving those goals. Mary is a wealth of knowledge and brings a rich rolodex of equally experienced and reliable partners to guide you through a seamless transaction.”

"Mary is amazing. She took on our project with professionalism and enthusiasm. She was extremely detail oriented at every step. She directed us to the best pre-listing inspection that ultimately made selling the house infinitely easier and faster. Mary found contractors who were efficient and a stager that worked magic. Mary even helped us find our new home. She is organized, thorough, a delight to work with. We unreservedly recommend Mary Petrie."

“Mary is incredibly professional and excels at building personal relationships. She is a capable and caring partner, who consistently communicated with us while navigating the challenges of selling + buying within the Seattle market. Over the many months we worked together, and through the many properties we viewed, Mary was alway attentive to our priorities and sincerely cared that we make the decision that was best for us.”

“My townhome ended up selling in record time, and I was able to close on my contingent buy without any issues. The buy/sell process was definitely a stressful experience, but, thanks to Mary and her team, all the stress paid off, and I am happily residing in my beautiful new home.”

“The words just don’t portray the enormity of my gratitude. Your skills, your knowledge, your kind yet firm guidance, your generosity-I never doubted the wisdom of putting myself in your extraordinarily capable hands. And the result was a fun and powerful experience plus a very successful sale."

“We very much appreciated your help with the whole process, from figuring out the asking price to taking out the garbage after we had moved out. You provided just the degree of prodding we needed to stay on track during the long slog to listing the house, and your help through the inevitable communication glitches was invaluable. Finally, your strategy for getting the best price was very effective - thanks!”

“It had been decades since our family had been involved in a real estate sale. Mary was efficient and reassuring as we moved through a process that was completely unfamiliar to us, as we prepared to move to a senior continuing care community. We were startled at the attention our home of 67 years received. With Mary’s help, we are on to the next chapter in our lives, and a new family is part of the neighborhood we cherished for 67 years.”

“The process of finding or selling a home is overwhelming and it can be hard to find a Realtor who takes the time to understand your needs. When she was helping me sell my home, she gave me great advice about market trends and her expertise enabled me to sell my home within hours of it being on the market. I will never work with another Realtor again!!!! Mary is worth a piece of gold and worth having on your speed dial!”

“Mary was a pleasure to work with, we felt we could trust her every step of the way. As first time homebuyers we had to learn a lot and Mary took the time to walk us through everything. She is a true professional!”

“We recently closed on a purchase of our dream home in the Green Lake neighborhood, which would not have been possible without Mary Petrie’s expert representation. We knew we were in good hands following her outstanding handling of the sale of our previous home in Wallingford. Her relationships and deep experience were critical in helping us successfully navigate what is a challenging and extraordinarily competitive market. We feel certain that we would not have secured our home without her help, not just in crafting the right offer, but in working to drive an aggressive closing schedule that strengthened our bid. Mary is pro-active and highly responsive, and she ensured that every detail was accounted for. Even after closing, Mary has continued to be a valuable resource, with her advice and professional contacts to help us make the most of our new home. We could not be happier with Mary’s level of professionalism and service, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area.”

“We have had the extreme privilege of working with Mary over the past many years. She quickly became not only the most valuable person to trust during our home-buying process, but also a treasured friend. She is knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and caring. Her commitment to our happiness as customers is breathtakingly rare. Mary’s attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile have resulted in our ability to choose not one, but TWO perfect homes for our family. The home-buying process is overwhelming and stressful, and Mary was there every step of the way to guide us. She listened carefully to our wants and needs and worked tirelessly to find a match for us. We are truly grateful to Mary for all her wisdom and advice, and for being one of the kindest, most caring people we know. She is quite simply the best!”

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Mary Petrie on the sale of our home and purchase of another. Since moving to the greater Seattle area, these were the 5th and 6th real estate transactions we’ve gone through and would not have thought of trusting anyone other than Mary to help lead the way.
She is knowledgeable and agile, providing explanations and transparency. She is flexible, professional, persistent, and prompt. Mary also partners with the best inspector, mortgage broker, and contractors around to ensure a seamless experience.
We ended up with a great return on the sale of our property and landed a new one at a great value. It’s tough to feel like you’ve achieved a positive outcome in this market, but with Mary and her team, we did! Mary understands a house is a home and she truly cares about the family living in it.”

“Working with Mary Petrie could not have been a better experience for me. Starting with her vast knowledge of Seattle's real-estate market and expertise in getting our house ready to sell, I had confidence and assuredness in an otherwise stressful situation. Mary worked hard on our behalf, and her advice and guidance got us everything we wanted and needed from the sale of our house. On top of this, Mary is truly wonderful to work with--warm, compassionate, and honest. I really cannot say enough good things about her as a person and as a broker.”

"I had the opportunity to work with Mary Petrie on both the purchase (2016) and sale (2022) of our house. Mary is a consummate professional and goes the extra mile to put a personal touch on her service. She is a great listener, seeks to meet her client’s desires and needs and uses outstanding interpersonal skills when her professional judgement may differ from a client’s desire. Mary makes the sale/purchase of a house a smooth process without stress. I highly, highly recommend Mary and her team at Coldwell Banker.”
