"When it came to selecting a realtor to sell my home, I couldn't have chosen a more trustworthy and capable realtor than Mary Ansley. Having never worked with a realtor before, I was initially uncertain with how the process worked, and what the outcome would be considering my quick timetable.

Her knowledge about the real estate market and her strong connections with other realtors in the Birmingham area is why I received multiple offers over the asking price. I have already recommended her to several friends and I look forward to using her when I'm ready to purchase my next home." - Gardner V.

From my time spent with her, I know that she cares, works diligently, and has a large network of professionals in the industry to help you in every step of the process. With the most recent purchase she was able to negotiate down the listing price as well as get a large closing cost to upgrade my electrical and furnace in the home.
