Testimonials

Mary Gail is amazing and will make your home-buying process simpler and smoother than it should ever really be. First of all, she has an encyclopedic knowledge of each house and it's history (including price history). Second of all, she knows everyone and every place in town. Third, she has the process down cold. She's kind, funny and extremely patient and does not push you, nor does she force her upon opinion on you. She's objective and always responsive and available to give her informed, measured advice. Let's put it this way - Mary Gail is the person that other realtors go to for advice. I really can't say enough about how helpful she was in the process of buying our first home. She's the best.

Mary Gail represented us in the sale of a coastal residence. We chose her because of her reputation as one of the very best agents in the Larchmont/Mamaroneck area for luxury and coastal home sales. Mary Gail did not disappoint. We found her masterful in making sure the house was perfectly arranged for the photo shoot. She personally supervised the photography and worked with us to select the photos that best reflected our home’s strengths. She provided excellent counsel as to how to deal with competing bids and had great instincts about how to handle any issues that arose. She is a highly effective and clear communicator which fostered a timely and smooth process. Mary Gail always gives her honest opinion, not some sugar-coated version she thinks her client wants to hear. We trust her completely and recommend her highly.

Mary Gail Barry is the consummate real estate professional. As a local real estate attorney, I have represented many clients who have used Mary Gail as their broker. In my experience, she is very thorough and has the ability to flush out any potential issues early in the process which leads to a smooth transaction for all the parties involved. She definitely goes the extra mile which I am sure is why she is so successful. Her local knowledge, having grown up and raised a family in Larchmont, is an asset to any potential buyer or seller. In fact, when it is time for my own family to buy or sell a residential property in Westchester County, we use Mary Gail as our broker and will continue to do so.

Rarely do you find a residential real estate agent in suburban NY, who really knows the market. Why? Because, even if they are "expert" in a market, they are too busy "selling" or "closing", and rarely listening! Mary Gail listens, studies, thinks dynamically and out works most of her peers in serving her client. She discovers buyer AND seller preferences, trends, and the particular needs of a client. Top notch, could not have done it without her!

It's hard to imagine a more talented or pleasant real estate agent to work with on buying your home. From the start of the process Mary Gail was extremely helpful in what can often be a stressful process. She was patient, informative, and extremely available. Mary Gail was born and raised in Larchmont and is extremely knowledgeable about the area. She also has a keen sense of the market and was on top of the new homes coming on the market that met our needs. In the end, we found a wonderful home in large part due to Mary Gail's diligence and hard work. I can not speak highly enough about our experience working with Mary Gail. It was obvious that she cares a lot about her clients and helping them find the perfect home for their needs. Mary Gail is also a strong negotiator and maintains the utmost integrity. I highly recommend Mary Gail and will definitely use her again if we ever decide to sell!

Mary Gail Barry is an exceptional real estate agent and represented us in both selling our home and in buying a new one. She provided excellent insight into the local market and what would drive success on both sides of our transactions. Her counsel went beyond pricing to staging, timing and negotiating options. She is a market expert and she anticipated critical challenges in the process and had the experience and poise to handle those challenges and support our needs. She solves problems impeccably well and she is honest. She is clearly at the top of her profession, knowing the market, her customers, the system, the buyers and how to optimize and maximize it all. She has been an equally valued resource as we've looked for contractors and others to help with various home project needs. Plus she is a kind and lovely person to work with. Our experience with Mary Gail and her extended team was terrific and we felt very fortunate to have their guidance and her leadership. I offer the highest recommendation regarding Mary Gail Barry's services.

There is a reason Mary Gail Barry was voted #1 realtor! Mary Gail is the most professional and pleasant realtor I have ever dealt with. Patient, and extremely knowledgeable. We have dealt with pleasant realtors before but most go to mush in the negotiating process. Mary Gail I would say is the “closer”. Her background knowledge in business and refurbishing houses really helped when having questions. She left no stone unturned. Representing and protecting us through the whole process. She also gave us a list of vendors who could do everything possible in the house along with a fantastic lawyer. I will highly recommend her whenever possible.

Mary Gail is amazing! My house had been up for sale six months previously with another agent and had no serious offers. I took it off the market, and when I put it back on I went with Mary Gail. What a difference! She just knew more, helped me stage the house more, she handled stuff with town permits, she connected me to service people I needed (plumber, carpenter). What a huge difference it makes to work with an agent like this! Within the first week or so of listing it I had an offer for over my asking price. I can't recommend Mary Gail highly enough.

Mary Gail is an extraordinary real estate broker. As first time homebuyers making the transition from NYC to Westchester, we spent several months trying to navigate the competitive Larchmont residential real estate market with various brokers without any success until we met Mary Gail. A real estate rock star, Mary Gail is extremely knowledgeable, resourceful, and connected with the community. She was by our side throughout the entire process, helping us identify potential homes and providing us with insight and guidance through the bidding process. Within just a few weeks, we found the house of our dreams. The relationship didn’t stop at the sale -- she welcomed us into the community, proactively introducing us to other new families, and connected us with local service providers to help renovate our new home.
