Mary Ann is one of the hardest Real Estate Professionals we know. My wife and I had her out for weeks until we found the perfect home. She always gave her opinion on the property we looked at. We have recommended to family and friends looking for a home.

Greatest real estate agent ever, was looking for a house for 2 months, all I found was people trying to scam me and showing me overpriced awful houses, than I contacted Mary she showed me 2 awesome houses in 1 day and got me approved next day. Couldn’t ask for anything more from a real estate agent, she went above and beyond to find me a house. She is literally a life saver as my lease was up and if not for her I would be living out of a hotel/airbnb right now.

Mary Ann was great. We were fairly clueless about the area and what we wanted. She helped us pick out what options were right for us and made a lot of helpful suggestions. She knew a lot of information about the areas we were interested in - taxes, school info, prices, local traffic routes, even where to eat. When we picked our house, she was great in negotiations and got us a price we didn't expect AND was able to get us most of the alterations we wanted done before we moved in. In general, she was extremely patient and honest with us, and was also responsive to calls, texts, and emails. I would recommend her to anyone I knew who was in the market for a house.

Mary Ann is truly the best in the business. She is probably the busiest woman in real estate but she makes you feel like you’re her only client. We were moving in from out of the area and we learned so much about every neighborhood in Severna Park & Arnold. She was quick to point out tiny details in every house and truly had our best interests at heart. Not to mention, we were very picky clients so I appreciate her abundance of patience as we tried to find the right house for our family in this crazy market. You are in good hands with Mary Ann. Her expertise, connections, and recommendations are invaluable. There is no one better.

Mary Ann Zaruba was such a pleasure to work with! With every house that she showed us, she gave us her honest opinion and gathered information from us so she could find the perfect home. Being a first time home buyer, Mary Ann made sure that we had all the necessary information in order to make the best decisions regarding our purchase. We love our home and would not have found it without Mary Ann.

Mary Ann started her journey with us by helping us figure out what upgrades/improvements we needed to do to get the house ready for the next home buyer. She helped us with the Coming Soon status and we sold the house before it ever hit the market! We were thrilled! Mary Ann and her excellent team have such a warm welcoming vibe and were very supportive up throughout. We were first time home sellers and are appreciative of the Mary Ann and her team!
Thank you!

I had a lot of questions during the process and she would quickly respond to explain things in great detail. She is a kind and caring person and was determined to find a home that would work for me. I would highly recommend Mary Ann. She really went above and beyond for me and made this a quick and successful experience.

Mary Ann is a top-tier real estate agent who works with you to understand your needs! We worked with Mary Ann to buy our first house in a challenging market for buyers. When we first contacted her, she listened carefully to what we were looking for, gave an honest assessment of the market, and created a plan for us to start finding our home. When we ready to bid, she explained the different contract options and how to make our bid competitive. Throughout the process she was always attentive and responsive. Her knowledge of the Anne Arundel County area, including of the history and trends in different neighborhoods is unsurpassed! When you get to closing, she is attentive to detail and makes sure that nothing falls through the cracks. We are so happy to have had her on our side and we will be looking to work with her again for our next real estate transaction. Highly recommend, especially for a first-time buyer looking for some guidance!

Mary Ann was the only real estate agent that we considered when we moved back to Maryland. She helped us sell our first house 8 year ago and was our agent for finding a house when we returned to Maryland this year. Her knowledge of the housing market and local neighborhoods and their history is unrivaled. Her energy and professionalism was appreciated by us during our housing search.

Mary Ann helped us buy a beautiful house in Linthicum we never thought we would find. With her knowledge of the area and other realtors she got us into the house the first day it was open and we put in an offer the next day at her prompting. This was after looking at multiple houses that weren’t right for us so we knew this one was right and have never regretted that decision. She also helped us sell our condo and was great at negotiation, knowing the process and doing all that needed to be done. She will definitely continue to be our realtor for any real estate transaction in the area.

Mary Ann is terrific ! When i first reached out to her and left her a message that i was interested in seeing homes, she called me back right away. That immediately told me she was professional and reliable. I told her what i was looking for and when i was available to see homes. She set up a portal for me to view the homes in my price range and she communicated daily. She found a lot of homes for us to look at. She held my hand every step of the way and answered all my questions. She always returned my phone messages and texts in a very timely manner. She is very knowledgeable and an absolute delight to work with. If you are seeking a home, she is the realtor you want to work with !

Mary Ann is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market and really cares about what is best for her clients versus just trying to make a sale. She was professional, an expert in pricing a home and provided endless smart recommendations. I would highly recommend her again!

I’ve used Mary Ann as both a buying and selling agent and could not be more pleased. She knows the market and understands how to negotiate for her clients so so well. She makes transaction challenges just go away, minimizing stress and pressure on her clients. I’ve referred her to multiple coworkers and they have all had similarly fantastic experiences. My highest recommendation; she earns every penny she makes! Mary Ann is awesome!

We had a GREAT experience with Mary Ann! We found the perfect house after only a few weeks of looking thanks to her dedication and hard work. As first time home buyers, we had dozens of questions, which Mary Ann patiently answered. She took the time to discuss what we wanted in a house, and immediately notified us of any listings that came on the market. Mary Ann arrived to each showing prepared, and spent hours showing us houses, going over the pros and cons, and never pushed us to act until we were ready. She was honest with us about what to expect, and was always prepared with words of encouragement when we got overwhelmed. When we put in our offer, we felt that she had our best interest in mind and stood up for us when necessary, and during the inspection, she knew all of the right questions to ask. She was truly there for us every step of the way, putting our minds at ease, and ensuring that we found the home of our dreams! While the home buying process can be a stressful one, Mary Ann made sure that it went smoothly, and we couldn’t be happier! We will absolutely recommend Mary Ann to everyone we know!

The first time I worked with Mary Ann, she represented the sellers for the house that we bought. Our agent at the time, a friend who does not normally work in the area, made sure to mention how nice it was working with her and to definitely use her in the future. We have recommended her to colleagues who are looking for a realtor and they too have been very satisfied. I highly recommend Mary Ann to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Mary Ann had a great process to get our house prepared and staged to sell and that resulted in a sale in the first week on the market. Couldn't have asked for anything better in that regard. Her local knowledge of our area was extremely beneficial to helping the buyers and potential buyers understand what was available in and around the community.

As first time home buyers AND expecting our first child, the whole home buying process seemed very overwhelming and almost not possible for us to accomplish. Mary Ann made what could have been a terrible experience, a great one! She was extremely knowledgeable, knew all of the right people, and was very determined to find my husband and I, our first family home. Mary Ann is definitely someone you want to have in your corner.

Mary Ann gave us her valuable advice on carpet and wall colors. She also told us what we could do to make the house look more desirable to prospective buyers, such as updating wall switch plates. She provided an open house that helped sell the house in less than a week.

Mary Ann was absolutely amazing! She was great to work with, instilled confidence from the start and laid out an entire plan that resulted in multiple offers on our house well above what we thought we could get for it, a flexible timeline so we could find a house, finding us a house in a super hot neighborhood where homes don’t even go on the market, and a SUPER smooth closing! Whenever anything did come up like picky buyers with inspection items, she was an amazing advocate and worked with us to get it all handled. She was also the only agent for the purchase (it was for sale by owner) so she basically worked those sellers through their process so that everything stayed on time. On top of all of this, she managed this amazing situation right before and then during the COVID-19 quarantine! She really cares about her clients and is amazingly nice, but she has the experience and confidence to know when to put her foot down with other realtors and their clients, she is a tough one! We couldn’t be more thankful to have Mary Ann as our realtor!

Mary Ann offers total professionalism from beginning to end. I met her over a year ago and was not quite ready. Regardless, she still took the time to prepare me for when I was. When I was ready she got to work immediately. Her brochures & attention to detail were fantastic! She scored me an over asking price and stood beside me the entire way. This Chic knows the market and her job!! I wish there was a 6th star because she earned it!! Forever grateful to my new friend.

We have bought and sold two houses now with Mary Ann. She is honest, knowledgeable, friendly and gets the job done every time. She knows the Annapolis-Baltimore area thoroughly. She will fight for you if needed and let you know when it’s not worth it to fight anymore. On our last house, with her guidance, we sold it for 100k over what we bought it for 3 years ago. I would trust her again and again!

As a first time home buyer, Mary Ann was an outstanding choice! I clearly articulated my parameters and Mary Ann remained dedicated, direct and honest, and assertively positioned us to buy the home of our dreams! She remains knowledgeable of the area, an expert in her field, highly responsive, and calls a spade a spade. and her personality is as genuine as her smile. She and her team are the preferred choice for any home buyers!

Mary Ann was a blessing for me! I was a first time home buyer and she was very patient with all my questions and replied to messages very very quickly. Even though I was purchasing a lower priced home, she treated me like I was spending millions! A few years later I had her help me sell the home and she had it listed and sold in no time at all. I even made money on the house in this economy! I will be using her again very shortly and cannot wait to have her help me find the next house!

MaryAnn is the best! She listened to our interests and goals in selling our home; assembled a quality team to assess the value of our home, advise how to stage our house; take beautiful photos for marketing our home and made our experience stress free. Our home sold in no time, at the listed price and we couldn’t be happier. MaryAnn helped us find our new home and was a tremendous help in attaining information for us in answering questions, big and small! We recommend her highly!!!

I first met Mary Ann when I purchased my house 6 years ago and she was amazing! Always going above and beyond for helping me finding my first house. We kept in touch over the years and when it was time to move I knew who to sell with. Once again amazing service! I trust her guidance so much that I recommended her to my mom when it was time for her to sell her house.
