Mary Pong

My wife and I moved to Seattle area early this year. We interviewed a few agents over the phone, and we chose to work with Mary, she communicated very well and she shared a lot of information with us, most importantly, she always responded to us very very quickly. Before starting to search for houses, Mary assisted us to relocate to the area. Her help started with hotel recommendation, arranged short term housing rental, showed us around the area, , etc. Mary spent weeks if not months just to help us settle in the area. By the time we started to look for houses, we already know the area pretty well and have narrowed down the area we preferred. She helped us screen through a long list of properties, her candid feedbacks are invaluable. Finally, we found the house we love, and thats the good news. The bad news is there were 6 other bidders. Mary worked tirelessly, strategically positioned our offer, and helped us won the bid for the house. Several months after we moved in, Mary continued to think about us, stopped by to visit us, and offered more help to us. We simply trust her and will recommend her services to anyone Ching-Ho and Jane

Mary was a pleasure to work with, as we could not have made our transition to Seattle without her help. We were truly indoctrinated into the insane Real Estate market here, and eased along with her assistance. We hope to continue our working relationship with Mary for years to come. Follow up Review: The support does not stop at the closing. I recently moved out to Seattle 1-1.5 months before my wife and Mary went above and beyond to make my transition as smooth as possibleDoyle and Crystal

Mary was an absolute pleasure to work with when we were looking for houses. She learnt our taste and understood our requirements so quickly. She vetted properties on our behalf before shortlisting the best selection, and always had our best intentions in mind. She was a strong negotiator for us when we were placing an offer. We would recommend her to anyone who wants a professional, passionate, and extremely knowledgeable realtor to help them find their dream homeIdan and Nicole

Ive worked with a number of real estate agents over the years, and Mary is one of the best. If you need someone who will be there for you, give you good advice, and find you a great house, I could not recommend her more. She really listens to her clients in terms of what they want she doesnt gloss over concerns or think this is good enough. She internalizes what you tell her and will use her expertise to find you the home you REALLY want. I cant tell you how great that is so many agents will try and convince you that something lesser is what youll have to settle for, instead of finding the perfect place. From the start it seemed that she truly understood what I was looking for, rather than nodding along and acting like she did. She gave helpful advice during the offer process, and after the house was in escrow she was still there every step of the way. Highly recommended! -Jen

When I decided to use the services of a realtor to sell my multi-unit property in Wallingford, I did a great deal of research and took my time to find the right one. This search led me to Mary Pong and I cant recommend her highly enough! She has a wonderfully positive outlook on life in general and clearly loves what she does. Her knowledge of the neighborhood and surrounding areas was impressive and she provided me with up-to-the-minute comp information and media articles about Seattle real estate I wasnt aware of. She wants her clients to have as much knowledge available to them as possible to help you make informed decisions about your property. And Mary respected the fact that I didnt just want to sell the property to the highest bidder, but to the buyer I felt was the best fit with the property and my now-former neighborhood. And she succeeded in helping me do that! I have already recommended Mary to two other sellers and will continue to do so to anyone I know who wants to buy or sell a property as they will be in very good hands with Mary Pong! Lisa

This is the fourth time weve worked with Mary weve purchased two income properties and our own personal home with her and we would hands down recommend her to anyone looking for an awesome agent in the greater Seattle area! She is experienced, knows the market, is extremely patient, consistently goes above and beyond, and gives great, honest advice. Mary takes the time to get to know her clients and truly listens. She has even previewed properties without our asking, but with our perspective in mind, and is extremely fast in providing us supplemental information when we expressed interest, which helped narrow the search and save us time. As repeat clients, Im sure it goes without saying that we would definitely work with her again! Laura and Michael

Mary was absolutely amazing as a realtor. As a first-time homebuyer, I had no knowledge on the process, what to expect or what to look out for. Mary was awesome at asking all the right and important questions, and for letting me know what to look out for and what to expect at every turn. She was also really professional and smart in negotiating with the sellers realtor, getting a fair deal and circumventing roadblocks when we hit them. Even though the process got a little complicated because of funding issues with the first financer, Mary was great at being the sage voice of reason that is necessary for the roller coaster of emotion that is buying a home. Id highly recommend her to anyone else!! TJ

Mary is the best! I found Mary when I was looking to buy a condo in the Bellevue area back in 2014. I thought theres no way someone could have such a stellar review but all of the 5-star reviews are 100% true. The buying process was simple and Mary represented me so well! She even took my parents around when they were looking for an investment property and was so patient throughout the process. I recently decided to sell that property as I am moving permanently down to Southern California. I didnt bother shopping around, I knew Mary would be the best. Even as the market was cooling, Mary found the best price to list at and found a seller (a cash seller no less!) within a few weeks. When other units in my association were struggling, Mary was able to get my property sold. I simply cant believe how efficient and effective she is. Ill keep it simple. If you want one of the best agents on your side, hire Mary Pong. You wont be disappointed. She is incredibly knowledgeable and keeps you informed at all times. She is kind, funny, and just an incredibly helpful person. If I ever do any business in the Seattle area, my first call will be to Mary. Nschaturvedi

Mary is the most professional, patient, proactive and knowledgeable real estate agent I have encountered during my over 20 years of global property investing across five countries in two continents. Her knowledge of my unique needs and purchase criteria were directly responsible for identifying a brief window of opportunity to purchase a newly built home which in the six months from purchase to closing date in late Nov 2017, has already become a significantly profitable investment. Marys customer service does not end with the signing of a sale contract, but extends to all post-sale matters pertaining to a successful closing including communications with seller, title company, notary, and financing bank, and all matters related to preparing an investment property for market including identifying a reputable property manager and facilitating home inspections and tours, appliance deliveries and other activities necessary to prepare the property for rental. I enthusiastically and unreservedly recommend Mary to anyone seeking to buy or sell a home in the Seattle area. George
