Mary has been our realtor here in Oak Park for over 20 years. She is outstanding in every way. We wouldn’t consider anyone but her. Thanks for everything Mary.

Mary was an absolute dream and a pleasure to work with during my home search. As a first time home buyer she made the process easy and non-stressful. Her communication throughout the process from touring homes to putting an offer on my dream home and having my offer accepted and moving in was excellent. And she went above and beyond to assist me in this process and I could not recommend...

Mary was an absolute dream to work with! For a first time homebuyer, the process can be stressful and overwhelming. However, with Mary's knowledge, guidance, and humor, the process was enjoyable. I thoroughly appreciated having her in my corner; she went to bat for me, and will do the same for you. Her communication throughout the process was superb. Can't say enough good things about Mary!

Mary was by far the best agent we could have asked for. She knew so much about the neighborhood and about the city that we knew we were making the right decision to move from NYC to Chicago. She was patient and flexible with us as we were only visiting Chicago at the time we were looking at places to buy. She made the entire process super easy and explained things at every turn. I would ...

I'm so happy with my experience with Mary. She was professional, friendly, patient and most importantly very knowledgeable of the community. I was referred to Mary by family and I hope to be able to continue the tradition.

Mary Carlin was an absolute pleasure to work with. She had a contract on my condo after two showings. She is hardworking easy to get a hold of and offers great advice. First rate agent and first rate person.

Mary Carlin is a first rate relator she delivered in a timely and efficient manner. She is friendly, smart and easy to work with. She will take the time to explain the home process in detail. Mary is very knowledgeable about the market with a focus on Oak Park, River Forest, Berwyn, Elmwood Park, and the North side of Chicago. She is extremely motivated to meet your individual needs.

It was a tough market but our realtor did a great job

Mary was available any time we needed her. She was clear, direct, and thoughtful on her input. We could not be happier and would recommend her anytime. We are so grateful that she helped us through this process and hope to see her again in the future!

I have worked with Mary for many years and she continues to up her game and her knowledge and quick response to issues always impresses me. I would highly recommend her services if you are trying to sell a property as she has developed the connections and insights to help you sell your property.

Mary knows this market inside and out. There was a townhouse for sale that I bid on. She advised me that the price the sellers were asking was too high and with the current comps it probably wouldn't appraise. I am so happy I held back and followed her advice. A nicer unit came on the market at a lower price and I was able to purchase it with a smooth appraisal process and closing. Th...

Mary was very helpful at all times. Her advice on preparing my house for sale was excellent. She was able to recommend workers to repair and replace issues , at a reasonable cost . l will recommend her to all my friends.

Mary and Sheila were the perfect team relating to our home purchasing experience. Mary asked us what our top priorities in purchasing a house were and helped us remain on course to our ultimate purchase. Mary was accessible and was professional at every turn. If you are purchasing or selling a home, Mary and her partner Sheila are the people to use.

Mary is a true professional, cares about her clients, looks out for your best interest, communicate in a timely manner and has a can do attitude. She was absolutely the right choice!

Mary is amazing- we bought a house with her in 2010 and we bought and sold we her again in 2017. She is a dream to work with and the best part of the home buying experience was getting to spend time with her looking at houses. I have referred a half a dozen friends and family members to her and will do so again! Mary is the best of the best.

Mary helped us through multiple difficult issues in selling our condo and buying our new home. She was fantastic through the whole process. She was a great advocate for us and helped us work through issues with a positive attitude that greatly helped reduce our stress. We would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Mary was fantastic! We had moved out of state and rented out the property. There were things that had to be taken care of and Mary came to the rescue...she scheduled and oversaw every last detail from furnace and gutter cleaning to fixing broken items...etc. We had to worry about nothing...Mary was in control! I can truly say, this was the easiest real estate transaction we have experienced.

Mary was the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. She is the absolute best!

Mary, we cannot thank you enough for everything you've done for us over the last year!  Selling our townhouse and helping us to find our new home.  Thanks for hanging in there with us.  You are such a superstar and we could not have done it without you!  Polly, Robert and James

I am thankful for Mary's industry k nowledge and knowing her area of coverage. She was very responsive to my needs and was very frank and honest about the overall conditions of the marketplace. I felt like she had my  back at all times. I would absolutely recommend Mary's service to anyone who asks for a Realtor in the Oak Park/River Forest area

I wouldn't have a home without Mary!  

Mary did an excellent job

Our family recently needed to relocate to Oak Park, and we were fortunate enough to be introduced to Mary Carlin.  Without any experience with the Chicagoland area, and no friends or relatives in the neighborhood, Mary took us through the process of finding the perfect home, negotiating a great price, and even helped us with securing financing and legal representation.&nbs...

Mary was excellent to work with and we'll recommend her to our friends and family.

Mary is awesome! She became a part of our family and we're going to miss her.  

Mary's professionalism is without equal.  I would highly recommend her for her skilled analysis of the market and her ability to negotiate the best possible terms for her clients.  Whatever we do that involves real estate, we consult with Mary first.

My husband and I had the opportunity to work with Mary when we sold our house in Evanston.  We were very fortunate to have Mary on call at a moment's notice as we made decisions and had questions..Mary was very honest and professional with us.  Plus, she has a bubbly personality that just makes you smile!

Just a note to thank you for your assistance with the sale of our house...especially at the end there!  Wow, what a disaster that could have been!  You truly saved me from a nervous breakdown?  Thanks for doing all you could to sell our place--it worked!

Thank you and most of all thank you for getting my place sold in this tough market.  I am very happy that we went with you and I will always recommend you to family and friends back in Chicago.

 ... just wanted to drop a line to congratulate your citation by your Baird and Warner task masters as being a 2010 member of the Vice President's Club.  Based on your work with us, we can easily see why, even in a continuing bad market.
