Mary Black Flaherty About Mary Black

Agent

Mary grew up in the Philadelphia suburbs and has called New York home for over a decade. Before embarking on her career in real estate, she was an elementary school teacher and Educational Evaluator in the White Plains and Rye City School Districts. As a parent herself, Mary understands the vital role a strong community plays in choosing a home and leverages her experience to guide her clients with care and insight. She is deeply passionate about the real estate market and is dedicated to helping both buyers and sellers navigate local and regional trends. Additionally, Mary's expertise in marketing and negotiation strategies equips her with the essential tools for success in this dynamic field.

A warm and approachable agent, Mary has long been committed to charitable causes. She is deeply connected to the Rye and Sound Shore communities and is actively involved in her children's school association. Among her contributions, she has chaired the annual fundraiser benefiting Midland School in Rye several times. Mary also volunteers for the LLS and teaches religious education locally.

Mary resides in Rye with her husband and three daughters. Mary is uniquely positioned to offer firsthand insight into the home-building process, having personally collaborated with her husband, a contractor in Westchester, on the construction of their own home. This hands-on experience has given her a deep understanding of the complexities involved in building a home—from selecting the right materials and navigating the design process to managing timelines and working with contractors. Through this journey, Mary has gained invaluable knowledge that she now shares with her clients, guiding them with confidence and clarity. Whether they are looking to build their dream home or are interested in understanding the construction process during a real estate transaction, Mary is able to provide practical advice and recommendations, ensuring her clients are well-informed every step of the way.

Mary is an incredible realtor and a true gem. She has been by our side throughout the entire process of selling our home and navigating the journey of buying a new one, making what could have been overwhelming feel seamless and even enjoyable. When it came to selling, Mary’s expertise and strategy were unmatched. She helped us stage the house, coordinate two open houses, and navigate multiple bids, ultimately selling our home in just two days for the price we wanted. She also has an extensive network of trusted professionals—contractors, photographer, and handymen—who helped us make key improvements to get the house market-ready. Her deep knowledge of the Rye real estate market was invaluable—she knows this area inside and out and guided us every step of the way. As we continue our journey of buying a new home, Mary has been just as amazing. She has helped us navigate a challenging and competitive market, always coming prepared with solutions and a thoughtful approach. She is incredibly patient, kind, and proactive, ensuring we stay informed and confident in our decisions. Beyond her professionalism, Mary’s positive attitude has made all the difference. She remains optimistic and encouraging no matter the challenge, always focused on finding the best outcome for us. Above all, Mary has become a friend, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, strategic, well-connected, positive, and truly invested in her clients’ success, Mary is everything you could ask for in a realtor!

Mary was fabulous in every way!! She is thoughtful, responsive, honest and a pleasure to work with. My son and I worked with Mary on finding a rental in Westchester and, although we ended up choosing another location, she was gracious and always helpful. I would definitely call upon Mary again if we have any real estate needs. Nancy Neff
