Why Work With Us?

“Mary is truly exceptional. I was looking for an agent who I could truly trust to take care of everything involved with preparing to sell our house and selling our house, including any unexpected hiccups that may arise along the way. Colleagues recommended Mary to me as being the perfect person for this.  They were entirely correct.

“Mary sold our house during one of the most challenging times for my family.  She did this with incredible empathy, professionalism, and expertise. I will be forever grateful that she took the stress of needing to sell our house entirely off my plate while still ensuring all parties received the best outcomes possible. I recommend her wholeheartedly, and I hope to be able to work with her again.”

“Mary Lewitt is a skilled professional Realtor and I wholeheartedly recommend her. She recently sold my condo in an uncertain market, and her realistic appraisal of the property at that moment made the sale possible. In addition, at the closing the buyers asked for reductions in the agreed upon price as well as further concessions. Mary stood her ground and calmly and tactfully closed the deal according to the signed agreement. 

“She is the consummate professional with strong people skills, helpful in every way possible. Mary led me through a difficult situation and I am very grateful.”

“Mary Lewitt is amazing! There are so many wonderful things I could say about her. We have used her for three purchases and two sales and she has exceeded all my expectations. Now my family and friends use her as well.

“My most amazing experience was when were in the market for a very specific type of house.  Mary showed us many houses, and came to understand exactly what we were looking for, but there was nothing on the market. Several months after we stopped looking, she called to say she found ‘our’ house. We were on our way to the airport, but we turned around to come take a look and promptly made an offer. We got the house and indeed it was perfect. We remain in it 20 years later.

“She also helped my very elderly mother sell her condo, which hadn’t had much care over the last decade. She made suggestions for needed repairs, recommended reasonably-priced floor people, painters and a handyman, and supervised the work. Then Mary did a beautiful job staging, and it sold within a few days.

“Not only does she know the market extremely well, she understands her clients and is an absolute pleasure to work with.”

“Mary Lewitt is a Realtor who will do more than just help you purchase

and sell your home. Mary helped me purchase my home and successfully complete that transaction within a short period of time, analyzing the market, assessing the merits of the home, providing assistance in inspecting the home, formulating the offer, completing the transaction seven years ago, and recommending contractors to assist in follow-on changes I wished to make after the sale.

“In recently selling my home, she sold this home in record time, after having the first open house and for a price above asking. She was masterful in handling all aspects of the process including assessing the real estate market, determining the appropriate listing price, providing expert craftsmen to help prepare the house for listing, scheduling showings, and negotiating the details of the transaction through settlement and closing. She demonstrates impeccable integrity, possesses a thorough knowledge of the real estate market, and has excellent demeanor and relationships with other real estate agents who were making inquiries of the property.  Mary does her homework and does it well. I couldn't be more pleased.

“It has been a pleasure to have Mary Lewitt as my Realtor.”

“We loved working with Mary. Thinking about her makes me smile. She is incredibly knowledgeable about houses, neighborhoods, construction, and design. She is also extremely patient. We never felt rushed. We really valued how she often knew of houses before they were coming on the market.

“Needless to say, Mary was instrumental in getting us our forever home, and we are forever grateful for that!”

“We both wanted to express our thanks to you as our agent. I know that you managed all the details for us, and we felt that you advised us well on the terms and the logistics with multiple offers and multiple buyers. Given COVID, It was an unusual time to sell, but everything went smoothly, and we are very happy with where things landed as it made the purchase of our new house easier.  We enjoyed meeting and working with you again and wish you all the best.”

“From our first meeting--on a cold November day, wearing masks and standing outside in the driveway-- we decided to hire Mary Lewitt to sell our house. Since then, we’ve been impressed and grateful for Mary’s understanding of our needs and her knowledge of the housing market. 

“We moved to Vermont a few months later and left our house in Mary's hands. She was always available--by text, e-mail or phone--to guide us through the many decisions to be made. 

“She made clear her knowledge of the ways to prepare and present a home for sale; all on a shoestring budget. She helped us understand how simple cosmetic improvements would get us a higher selling price. Mary contracted and supervised interior painting, cleaning, and appliance repairs. She then beautifully staged the house, at no cost to us.

“Mary was always upbeat and calm throughout. Her predictions to us all came true: the house would look its best, many offers would be made, and the final sale price would be higher than the asking price.

“Mary is a super Realtor!”

“We felt so fortunate to have Mary Lewitt as our Realtor during the process of selling our home in Newton. We moved into a new home in another town before selling, so we relied heavily on Mary to supervise the entire process of preparing the house for sale. Mary took care of scheduling contractors, staging the house, and working with various other brokers, potential buyers, and lawyers. When there were crises, as there invariably are, such as a broken toilet, or buyers getting cold feet, we could always rely on Mary's competence and wealth of experience for advice and support. Mary stayed on top of the countless details involved in preparing and selling an old house, and she was always willing to take the time to explain those details, and the overall process, to the two of us who are very non-expert in real estate matters.

“We would highly recommend Mary Lewitt as a real estate broker in the Newton area.”

“We have worked with Mary Lewitt on the sale of two homes and the purchase of three, and we are so glad that we had her by our side through it all. Mary cares for our family as if it were her own, and brings years of local knowledge and transaction experience to the table on our behalf. She works tirelessly to make herself available to our busy family whenever we need, deeply cares that we are getting what is best according to our interests, and manages our expectations based on what is reasonable in the context of the broader market or industry norms.

“Mary is special because she has decades-long relationships with all sorts of vendors that contribute meaningfully to each of our home purchase and sales. Not only does she treat us like family, but she also treats those critical service providers like family, too -- the way she conducts her business strongly aligns with our values and how we aspire to conduct our own business. She is a talented communicator and trustworthy to the utmost degree.”

“Mary and Martha are the dream team. They have helped me purchase two wonderful homes in the past 8 years. Each house had 10+ bids, and because of their guidance and expertise, mine was the offer that was accepted both times. They also listed my Cape last fall, and then sold it in just one day for well  over asking, which was a result of their experience, staging, photography and marketing. When you list with Mary and Martha, their whole rolodex comes with them, which includes anyone you need to fix, paint and update whatever needs to be done in order to sell or move into your house. Anything that made me nervous was easily taken care of by a phone call to one of them, and nothing was ever a problem.”
