What My Clients Have To Say

  • Bill Hafeman and Virginia McDonald
    South Loop

    My wife were not first time home buyers, we have owned several homes over time. But we were purchasing a condo for the first time. Mary listened to our needs and constantly worked hard for us explaining all the details involved in a condo purchase, asking the right questions at showings, and finding listings on a large range of properties as we narrowed our search. She stayed on top of all the details through the negotiations and the final purchase. We both agree that Mary is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with and would we not hesitate to recommend her anyone looking to buy or sell a home."

    This is specifically for Mary Soeding: We were in search of a second property in the same neighborhood we're currently living in, inquiring with Mary and moving forward in working with her was the best choice we've made with an agent. I don't think looking for a place was the hard work for Mary, but each unit we looked at, I was impressed of how knowledgeable she was, she knew details of almost everything that's going on in a unit, not just the listing info and neighborhood, but from the construction piece, plumbing, floors, etc... that's an expert! We were looking for a regular sale and a quick closing, not realizing the unit we ended up with was a short sale till the contract was signed. So, 3 months of waiting was a long time, but during this time period Mary worked diligently on following up with the seller's agent and attorney, and was great in updating us to any news she's heard. Once we heard back from the seller's bank, we had less than a month to close, and Mary was on top of it. Any questions or concerns I had were followed through immediately. She's an excellent communicator (someone you want to be your advocate), hard working, and efficient.

    Uptown

    I had moved out of state while trying to sell my house. In a tough market, Mary did an excellent job in pricing my condo, planning open houses and keeping me up to date on showings. She went above and beyond in communication and negotiations. Selling my house was a priority for her and it showed! Thanks Mary!!!

    Edgewater

    I really enjoyed working with Mary. As a first time homebuyer, I really had no idea what I was getting into. Mary's knowledge of Chicago real estate and neighborhoods made my search for a home straightforward and easy. She re-worked her schedule to hit my deadlines, was a resource for all my questions and was good company during what could have been a seemingly stressful process.

    We worked with Mary to buy our first home and she was great to work with. She was honest and really looked out for our best interests. Now we're happily settled in our new place! Thank you Mary and Dream Town.

    Saint Charles

    We were newlyweds relocating to the western suburbs when we hired Mary Soeding to list and sell our condo in the Uptown neighborhood. Unfortunately we picked a tough time to sell our condo, when the housing market was taking a turn for the worse. However, even in a tough market, Mary did an amazing of job of marketing and ultimately selling our home. She kept us apprised of the shifts in the market and recent home listings and sales in the neighborhood. While we had already made our move out west, Mary even went above and beyond by assisting us with several issues with our condo when we were unable to make the trip into the city ourselves. We have been so happy with the service and the level of professionalism that Mary provides and we recommend Mary highly for anyone looking to sell in the future!

    My time in Chicago was very well spent, for which I thank you. I hope you realize that you are a major reason that we accomplished so much in such short time. I am deeply appreciative of all you have done to help Nathan and me. You have an extensive understanding of the market, you are a very savvy negotiator, and you are skillful in herding the seller, the lawyer, and the buyer down the same path to a smooth closing. Mary you are a true professional; intelligent, skilled, dignified, and all of that beside a delightful sense of humor. You have both my appreciation and strong recommendation.

    Mary Soeding will be my realtor for as long as I'm buying and/or selling a home. She was fantastic! She found applicable properties for my consideration and worked with me in a timely manner to find those within my criteria. When she presented my home through various showings and open houses, she put on music, lit candles, tidied up and even vacuumed! She was determined to sell the house and we made a nice profit thanks in part to her outstanding abilities.

    It was very difficult to only choose Mary's top three attributes in this recommendation form because she finds so many ways to bring value in the way that she does her work. She knows what she is doing and is a great advocate. Other real estate agents that we interacted with through the process commented that she was really good and really knew her stuff. The breadth of her expertise is impressive. She was so comprehensive in her approach. She expertly guided me to figure out what I wanted regarding aspects of my home search that I wasn't even attentive to at the outset but ended up being some of the aspects that I value to most. She accommodated my needs throughout the search process. She is a delightful partner and ally throughout the process. I gladly recommend Mary Soeding!

    Mary worked exhaustively to meet our expectations by showing us unlimited properties, pre-screening the real estate listings to our exacting standards and by always being available to help problem solve. Mary's collaborative style helped bring together all parties during final real estate transaction negotiations - but as her client she always represented and deferred to me. Mary has helped me personally in my search for the best home for my wife and new daughter- as a residential real estate agent. But she has primarily worked with our company to locate, purchase and renovate single family homes for use as group living facilities for people with disabilities. Her work is excellent! I highly recommend her.

    Mary was an absolute pleasure to work with. She exceeded my expectations and found me the perfect place. Mary is flexible, working for you and with your schedule. She is an advocate, making requests and asking the right questions that go above and beyond and they are always in her clients best interest. Mary gets the job done efficiently. She doesn't just sit back, like other real estate agents I have dealt with in the past. I was impressed my her extensive experience in the real estate market and her background in the building industry is just another added bonus. Ultimately, Mary works for you as if she were buying her own home. Whether you are buying or selling, I highly recommend working with Mary....you won't be disappointed!
