I have had Mary represent me in three real estate transactions. Mary, I have found to be resourceful, knowledgeable, professional and throughout. If one was to want a fair and honest experience, I can not recommend her highly enough. Whatever my situation or problems, Mary has had advice and solutions. All my real estate transactions have been smooth and painless. Mary once sold one of my properties over a weekend, to my considerable profit. I could not be more pleased. Mary will work for your objectives. Not just to make a commission. She has my full trust as I know Mary is honest and ethical.

Mary was outstanding as our selling and buying agent. We had a very challenging closing and she handled the situation with the upmost professionalism and the situation ended on a positive note. She worked tirelessly for us and we valued her greatly as our realtor. Mary is respectful, kind, courteous, hard working, knowledgeable, and ethical. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for an agent and we miss her! :)

When my husband and I set out to look for a new house we had no timeline and a decent idea of our "dream home". Mary was patient and thorough with our search, even introducing us to the place we now call home! She has excellent knowledge of the area and walked us through each step of the buying process. Mary communicated promptly, answered our many questions, and effectively managed our difficult closing. She genuinely cares about her clients and supports their decisions. We could not recommend a more exceptional real estate agent to trust and work with to find your next home!

Matt & Katie Waters

We spent the better part of 5 months with Mary searching for homes all throughout Iredell county (to include Statesville, Troutman and Mooresville). Pretty sure we looked at almost every available home on the MLS. Not once did we ever feel that Mary was becoming impatient, irritable or simply tired of being our agent. We were her main focus and she demonstrated endless patience throughout the whole process. She kept the home buying process from becoming overly complicated and frustrating and was never pushy just to get us into "a house". She was genuinely interested in helping us find our home and did everything she could to accommodate our needs and our schedule. Through it all, we found a home and couldn't be happier! Mary helped us to make sure our home met most of the criteria on our list and would work for us. Mission accomplished! We would highly recommend that you use Mary any time you're in the market for a new home. You won't be disappointed!

John and Donna McMurray

While we waited for our Florida home to sell, Mary led our 10-month search for a new home in North Carolina. She frequently provided customized home searches and patiently walked us through over 70 homes in the Advance, Clemmons, Statesville, Troutman and Mooresville areas. Her knowledgeable of the area helped us in locating our home. This is our sixth home in our 30 years of marriage and we can honestly say that no one matches Mary in her effort for finding the right place for us. Mary is very friendly, a good listener, devoted and very patient. Mary is awesome! We believe Mary to be a top-notch realtor and we highly recommend Mary Palmes!

Mary Palmes makes selling a house so easy. She is always available for questions, she gives great advice, based on years of experience buying and selling in our market and our neighborhood, and she gives everything she has to all her clients. We would list again with Mary, or seek her out if we would like to buy. She's an excellent realtor and a such a nice person!

Graham Neilson

When my sister decided to relocate from Lenoir to the Statesville/Troutman area, we chose Mary Palmes of Allen Tate Realty to help us find a house which suited my sister’s needs. Mary is a true professional who knows the Statesville, Troutman, and Lake Norman areas as well as anyone. She knows about the quality of construction and housing at a very high level. Mary kept us informed at all times and was there for every part of the process. My sister is now happily settled in her new home. I would recommend Mary to anyone needing a realtor in this area.

Cheryl and Ed Swing

We are new to the area and Mary did a great job showing us the market's range in a very limited time period. Her understanding of the market and our objectives was key in helping us make a quick decision-and she is a strong and fair negotiator with our best interests at heart. We can't imagine asking anyone else to help us the next time we are in the market.

Angel Caudle and Adam Hart

Mary was wonderful to work with. She went above and beyond to work with our busy schedule and show us houses that were worth our time. She took all of the work out of the home buying process. We love our home and highly recommend Mary.

Rick Leichman

Mary has been my agent for quite a few years, and has always been attentive and responded well to my needs. Above all, she exemplifies much patience in her professional demeanor. She knows people as well as she knows her business. Will continue to call on her in the future, and will confidently refer her to others requiring real estate needs.

Mary Ruth Hunt

Mary did an outstanding job selling my mother's house in Statesville. Because I live out of town, I really needed an agent who could assist with all of the frustrating details of selling a house. Mary was an incredible resource for lining up local contractors, surveyors, cleaning service, and even helped locate an estate sale service for me. I could NEVER have gotten my mother's home sold without Mary Palmes. Thank you!!

Stephanie Lee

Mary is a SUPERB realtor. Her expertise is apparent from the start and put my husband and I at ease during the home buying process. She had an answer to all our questions, even if that meant doing extra research. She listened to all our concerns without judgement and always with a smile. We trusted her implicitly. Mary’s willingness to go above and beyond made the process smooth and kept us informed every step of the way. I recommend her to everyone!

---

Robin Davis

Mary was wonderful throughout the process of selecting a new home. She was very helpful in answering my many questions. Mary never failed to respond in a timely manner. She always looked out for my best interests and tried to insured that I was not taken advantaged of by the buyer. Mary was always prompt to her appointments, I never had to wait on her. She was well educated as a realtor and knew or could readily get the answer you needed. I felt like I could always count on Mary. I felt truly blessed to have Mary as my realtor.

I can't imagine having any other realtor with us through the process. Mary helped us buy and sell a home and always provided us with what we needed. She gives great feedback and walks you through each step, giving you every detail you might need. She has so much experience, knowledge, and great connections, so everything was a breeze!

Mary Palmes was our selling broker for our home last spring, as well as our buying agent last month!! She was patient, encouraging, honest, and professional in every aspect. In selling our house...she helped us set a reasonable price and gave us ideas for staging and improvement. As we looked for  our next home, she gave us valuable advice without being pushy or opinionated, always giving us plenty of time to browse in the homes and ask questions. We highly recommend Mary whether you are selling or buying. She is outstanding on both a personal as well as professional level.

Wayne Brown

Mary Palmes was just what we needed in our search for a home in the Statesville area. I was out of town and while my daughter lived in Statesville, neither of us "knew" the market. After discussing our wants/needs with Mary, she went right to work sending us vital info on all homes that fit our criteria in a timely manner. She did an admirable job in communicating with both my daughter and myself what was available and her input was invaluable as Mary was much more aware of the market that either of us. That formula worked successfully for us in a matter of time the perfect fit was realized. We got the home we wanted and the whole closing experience due to Mary's expertise was done with a minimum of time. We were extremely pleased with Mary's able assistance and guidance through all phases of the buying experience. And yes, we would hardily recommend Mary's assistance if you are in the market for a home. S

Tony Lellie

Working with Mary was really a great experience. As this was our first time selling a house, we were quite intimidated by the whole process. Mary was always very pleasant and patient in helping us through it. The whole thing was quite pleasant. From now on I will consider Mary my "personal" real estate agent.

"Heather had told us how much she liked you personally and how imressed she was with your style and professionalism as a realtor. She was certainly correct. It was a pleasure working with you and especially getting to know you. Again, thank you for making a sell when it seemed impossible. Be assured, we now refer to you as "our realor."

"We really enjoyed looking for our first home with you, Mary Palmes. You provided us with all the information first time home owners need. Although our list of requirements and living situations were complicated, you managed to find us a home that meets all our needs and we are truly enjoying our new home. Thanks.

Christian Harberts

It's hard enough managing the sale of the parents' home after their death, harder even when you live thousands of miles away on another continent. Mary Palmes helped us at every step--assessing improvements that would help sell the property, setting up the listing remotely, help making adjustments to remain competitive in the local market. Once the property was listed, she was extremely available during negotiations with prospective buyers. The final sale was smooth sailing as well.  Job well done!
