Mary Murray's Reviews & Ratings

Tell us about your experience with
Mary Murray

    • Even before I was sure I was going to put my place on the market, I contacted Mary to ask what I could do in advance to get it ready when/if the time came. She referred me to a wonderful stager, who gave me great advice. Then, when I had to put my place on the market rather suddenly I was so well prepared I could get it ready for pictures in one day. Mary and Shannon were always available, always responsive, and always reassuring. I trusted them to handle all the particulars of marketing, managing the bids, and overseeing the selling process. For my part, it was the easiest, most seamless, and gratifying experience of my life. I am grateful to them both for such a remarkable outcome.

      - O.G., Seller
    • Mary Murray is the best. She is experienced, knowledgeable, skilled, gracious, thorough, careful, proactive, respectful ... I dont think there is anything good that she isnt! She turned a previous failure (which did not involve her) into a very profitable venture. She skillfully priced and marketed two properties with tremendous success, she handled difficult tenants with grace, she negotiated offers with skill and expertise, she anticipated possible problems and took preventative steps to avoid them, she was helpful and personable throughout the entire process. Thank you, Mary Murray!!! I look forward to working with you again!

      - S.K., Seller
    • Mary and Shannon are a wonderful team. They were wonderful through the whole process. I highly recommend them.

      - N.K., Seller
    • Mary was a blessing... period. This was my wife and Is first home. We had the normal fears and jitters but through every step Mary was there to help us and explain. I think that was the part I loved the most, her explanation. She brought the whole process down out of the clouds and made it one we could understand and feel comfortable going through. We will not use another realtor, ever, as long as Mary is doing this, we will only use her. We recommend Mary to all of our friends looking to buy homes. There should be some more couples coming her way shortly. We are beyond grateful for Mary and couldnt have even entertained the idea of owning a home without her. She really is a gem and we couldnt be happier.

      - M.G., Buyer
    • Mary Murray was terrific! She helped us in so many ways besides just selling the house. We live out of town and we used Mary's contacts to get a number of other things done. All of the people she connected us with were great just like her. We can't say enough good things about Mary. We would definitely use her for any real estate needs in the future.

      - D.W., Seller
    • Mary was absolutely wonderful. Throughout the entire process she was always available, and answered all of our questions. Her knowledge of the business and industry was obvious, and she helped us to negotiate a great offer on our home. She has even been helpful a month after the closing date with answering our questions and offering guidance and facilitating communication between us and the sellers. We could not be more happy with Mary's commitment and professionalism. We really felt like she was in our corner and looking out for our best interests throughout the entire process. Thank you Mary!

    • Mary Murray was the best, from start to finish, being both professional and personal. Her research, diligence and commitment are outstanding. She knows the market and made me feel confident that we could make the sale. Mary always took the time to check in with me to keep me apprised as to where we were in the process. I am so pleased I made the choice to go with her. I wouldn't hesitate to use her and Bowes again, and to recommend them to others.

      - M.C., Seller
    • We had an extremely difficult negotiation with our first offer, with multiple inspections and repairs requested by the buyer. Mary helped us through every step, even when we requested to push back to the buyers. She had a contact for every issue that arose and we never felt as if a problem would go unresolved. Mary is very knowledgeable and experienced.

    • Mary assisted in every step of the process. She was always available for questions. I have told all my friends about her excellent, dedicated work in making this sale go so smoothly.

    • Again, Mary surpassed our expectations. We were very nervous about our sale in the East Somerville market, but Mary made great judgement calls about timing in the market and pricing, and we accepted an offer above our asking price within two days. We could not have been more pleased! Mary has always been helpful and knowledgeable and works well to coordinate the sale after the offer is accepted. I would absolutely work with Mary again and would refer her to anyone in the Arlington/Somerville/Medford market.

      - D.T., Seller,

    • Mary was absolutely great. She provided good advice, was extremely helpful in discussions, stayed in contact throughout the process, and paid a great deal of attention to details. I am very grateful for her efforts and I really appreciate the time she invested in viewing multiple properties during several weeks of search. I also very much appreciated her initiative to follow-up with the seller's agent and the bank while the closing stretched out for over two months due to complications on the side of the seller. She is extremely knowledgeable and I will surely reach out to her again if I consider buying/selling any property.

      - M.M., Buyer
    • Mary Murray is the Best Real Estate agent in the Boston Area!!! She is always available to her clients. She answers any and every question you have. When you list your property with her you have such confidence that she is going to give it her all. No matter how much your house is worth she treats you and your property like you are her most important client. I will contact Mary when I'm ready to purchase a property again. I have even given her name to a friend to help sell his property.

We could not be more happy with the service we received from both Mary and Bowes Realty.

    • Mary Murray was a wonderful guide and representative as we bought our first single family home. She knows Arlington very well and learned our tastes and responded by finding properties that matched what we were looking for. She also went out of her way to meet us on weekends and during non open house hours to show us certain properties.

    • I would recommend Mary Murray, my agent, as she went up and beyond the role as agent The house went on the market on the 17 of march and on the 20th we were looking at ten offers, because of her experience in the industry and how she marketed the home, it sold faster then I expected. I had to move fast to pass papers and move to my new home in Florida. She was very kind and she assisted me with a problem that I was having with the gas co. The account was still in my poor husbands name an he passed away so suddenly, , that I never got around to changing the name on the account, She kept in contact with me and kept me up to date on everything that was happening. She help with securing a great attorney, Attorney Fred Harris ,who assisted with the closing She handled all the paper work. She is a credit to herself as she is to Bowes Realty CO. Thank yoy for the opportunity to tell you of how satisfied I was with her.

      - M.L., Seller
    • Mary Murray was steady and patient and helped us enormously during our long term search for our home. She selected properties to bring to our attention that fit our descriptions of a hoped-for future home. She was a great listener and available to help us anytime. We appreciated her help all along the way!

      - A.C., Seller
    • My husband and I had the good fortune to have Mary & Sarah as our real estate professionals on a previous property sale and then purchase, so we knew the high quality of their work and wanted to work with them again on the sale of the condo. The advice we got from both on the state of the market and comps in the area, how to negotiate buying out a lease with a tenant proved invaluable, it enabled me to make good decisions and move forward with the sale of the property to very favorable results. I've worked with two other real estate agents prior to Sarah & Mary, and I can honestly say that they make the whole process so much easier, and much less stressful. Their response time to email/text/phone communications is par none, I really felt like I was in good and trust-worthy hands.

      - J.C., Seller
    • Mary Murray is an experienced and knowledgeable sales associate and made this buying experience uncomplicated and smooth--just as she did when she was my selling agent for a former property that I owned several years ago.

      - B.P., Buyer
    • Outstanding job by Mary Murray; thorough, professional, prompt responses to questions. My family and I could not have had a better experience than we did with this agent. I would highly recommend her to any potential seller in the area

      - S.C., Seller
    • Mary was very knowledgeable, professional and she explained the entire sale process making me feel confident in my choice to hire her. She had my home staged, cleaned and after the weekend open houses I was looking at multiple offers all over asking price. We discussed the merits of each offer taking into account terms that were more favorable to my situation. I was amazed and I would recommend her to anyone selling a home. She clearly cares about people and it's obvious she knows what she's doing. I knew I was in good hands the moment I met Mary. I have already recommended her to several neighbors. She even contacted me after the closing to be sure my money was wired to my new bank. She's the BEST!

      - C.M., Seller
    • Sales Associate was extremely knowledgeable and could not have been more helpful in our first home purchase. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and would not hesitate to use her again.

      - J.M., Buyer
    • Mary did a great job from the first day we meet her and after almost 2 years she helped us find out our first home. She was very communicative during the period and she answered all the questions (some question were may be irrelevant as a first time buyer). I will surely recommend her and team Murray to my family and friend. Thank you!!!

      - K.T., Buyer
    • Throughout the entire buying process, I was blown away by Mary Murray's knowledge of the housing market, the area, and her understanding of home structure, laws, zoning, etc. By working with Mary, we received so much more than just a buyer's agent. We trusted her opinion because she did such an amazing job demonstrating her expertise. Because Mary has been in the industry for some time, she has so many contacts and connections that we felt like we were always ahead of the game. The nicest thing about working with Mary is that she encouraged us not to rush the process and to only put on offer down when we were ready. I never believed the whole, "when you find your house, you'll know it," phenomena, but it's very true. If it were up to me, I would've rushed the process and placed an offer on a lemon because I can be a bit impulsive. But Mary always gave us very sound advice about the process of buying, and ultimately, we found the perfect home with her invaluable assistance. Thank you a thousand times over, Mary, for helping us purchase our dream home. :)
