Testimonials

David and Christine Wilkinson – North Yorkshire U.K.

Mary is a very competent, and highly professional individual, with an ability to adapt quickly to challenging situations. She shows excellent management skills, combined with reliability. During the time that Mary represented us, we were always kept up to date, and never once felt that we were not Mary’s top priority. Mary is not someone who is just doing a job; she is fully committed to the task in hand, and follows through right to the end. Mary made us feel like part of the process from the first meeting, to the final farewell, and we cannot thank her enough. We would unreservedly recommend Mary and would have absolutely no hesitation in working with her again in the future.  Christine & David Wilkinson

Beverley and Tyrone – U.K.

Finding our holiday home. Our communications with Mary started only six months before she found us our dream home, not the home we thought we needed, but one that ticked all the boxes and more. She listened to our telephone requests, emailed hundreds of possible properties, then took us around on the viewings all organized and within a time suitable for us. Never did we think we would be buying a new build, as we had in mind a spacious Florida home, with garden space and in a good community. Patiently Mary took us around our requests, then when we suggested a new build she was equally resourceful finding us the perfect location in Clermont. So our actual meeting with Mary lasted four days and within those four days we found our dream area, designed the interior and signed the deal thanks to Mary Bell who was there every step of the way. She was there for us from the conception to the actual completed build using her experience and knowledge to help us as owners from the UK. When they say you only need “one Realtor” we can strongly endorse this if you use Mary Bell; she will be there for you, she will make time to visit you, she explains the processes and she she supports you at meetings with other agents. Now two years later she still remains in contact. Beverley & Tyrone.      

Stan and Karen Wills – Niagra Falls, NY

My husband and I met Mary while attending an Open house that she was hosting. Although it wasn't the home for us, she was definitely the realtor for us. Mary worked tirelessly for the next year to find us the perfect vacation home. She went above and beyond duty to make the deal go through. We have since been invited to spend time with Mary and her family. I truly believe we not only found the best realtor in Florida, we also found a true lifelong friend. We can't wait to return to our new home and share it with our new friends. I have already recommended Mary to several of our friends who are looking to buy in the Central Florida area. I don't believe that you will find a more knowledgeable, personable and professional realtor than Mary. We are forever grateful, Karen and Stan Wills.
