Mary was instrumental to the home buying process from start to finish.

Mary Phelps and Gabrielle Gearhart are the most talented realtors I have ever met. My wife and I were not initially planning to sell our house, but after meeting Mary and Gabby, it was clear that they perceived unlike other realtors we met what made our house special and would make it appealing to buyers. We decided to test the market, putting minimal effort into do so. Mary and Gabby staged the place within two weeks; it looked so good we almost wanted to stay. We officially put the house on the market on a Saturday and by Friday we had four serious expressions of interest and a compelling offer which we negotiated and eventually accepted. From start to finish--from the initial conversation with Mary and Gabby to accepting the offer--the process took a little over three weeks. We closed five months later (to allow the children to finish the school year), and there a few bumps (some of them not minor) along the way. Mary and Gabby remained responsive and gave incredibly helpful and sage advice throughout. I will recommend them to anyone buying or selling in and around Fairfield County.Marcus Folch
The very best realtor in Fairfield County!Marcus Folch

Working with Mary has been a wonderful experience. We worked with Mary to purchase a home in Ridgefield CT. She is knowledge about the local markets and was a wonderful advocate for us when it came time to place an offer for a home. She is not just looking to 'close the deal' but rather make sure you are getting a fair deal, that the home meets your requirement and most importantly that you are happy with your purchase, plus she is a great negotiator. Best of all she is just a really nice person. Without a doubt I would use Mary again for future real estate needs.Miriam

Mary and Gabby were amazing. They provided excellent advice during the buying process and were great advocates on our behalf with price negotiation and terms thereafter.

Mary Phelps went above and beyond what we considered realtor duties . She helped us jump right into Ridgefield life with all sorts of contacts, tips and information. We would highly recommend Mary, especially for those new to the area.D.
Mary was absolutely amazing during the entire process, listening to our home needs and doing everything to help us find the home of our dreams!C.
Mary helped me buy a second home a distance from my primary home. She found me a wonderful local agent, interfaced with that agent and supported me during the entire, quite lengthy process. I found her to be totally responsive and a delight in every way. I would recommend her to anyone. Also, I put her in touch with two different families here in my primary community and I know that they were each VERY happy with her care and service. One bought a home using her and one is still looking at homes with her.B.
Mary listed and sold my Ridgefield home in 2011. She was a very supportive and capable agent, from the first stage of decluttering, etc., through the months of showings, right to the happy ending! Mary was aggressive in advertising and keeping the house in front of brokers and potential buyers. I felt throughout the process that she was working fully on my behalf. I benefited greatly from her professionalism while enjoying her wonderful kindness and consideration.A.
Helped us to pick the right town and location since we didn’t know very much about the area. Then she showed a range of places to choose from. Low pressure and very helpful.tincob

I was lucky enough to have Mary recommended to me by a friend. I had interviewed 3 other agents and found them lacking in being adjustable to the price I wanted. Mary is patient and understanding and helped me stage my house so that it looked fantastic. It sold in a week! After that, she was involved in negotiations and taking to my attorney. Everything went smoothly. Thank you Mary, you are the ultimate professional!R.
I highly, highly recommend Mary Phelps. She was our agent who represented us listing and selling our home in Wilton. In all honesty, our experience working with her could not have been more positive and I cannot speak highly enough. Personality: She has a natural enthusiasm and positive demeanor that made her a pleasure to work with throughout entire home selling process. My wife and I truly enjoyed the time spent with her. Expertise: Mary's familiarity with and insight into the local real estate market is outstanding. She worked with us to design an effective sales/marketing strategy that enabled us to sell our home quickly at an attractive price. Organization: She managed the process from pre-listing prep, staging, showing, and negotiations through closing with deft efficiency that kept all parties comfortably on track. She was seemingly always available and responded quickly when we needed to communicate.S.
Mary was a consummate professional throughout a challenging process. She was a tireless advocate and a trusted advisor who made herself available 24/7 for a pair of first-time home buyers with an abundance of questions. I do not hesitate to give her my highest recommendation.bmeli law
We have nothing by AMAZING things to say about Mary! As first-time home buyers, Mary was so helpful in every step of the process from helping us narrow down the best search area, to ideas on how to turn houses in our modest budget into our dream home. She went above and beyond to make our first home purchase as easy of a process as possible and helped us ask the right questions and make the best decision for us and our future. Throughout the entire process she became a close friend and we enjoyed the month we spent working with her. Mary was amazing and when the day comes for us to house-hunt again, we will most certainly use her again. She is great!sflood829
Mary certainly did the job for us quickly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend her as an agent. When we finally decided to list our house, we chose Mary because of her familiarity with the location and her access. She sold the house in a short period of time and took care of all the necessary processes that come with real estate sales in the area. Mary assisted us in all facets of the sale including presentation, bidding and even clean up suggestions and workman recommendations. It was certainly an advantage to have Mary on our side.jmay717
Mary has worked closely with us to find our new home for over 2 years. Our home search was on and off and she was supportive and patient through the whole process. She was great when it came to negotiating with sellers and ultimately helped us find a home that met all our needs.nelsonalopes
Mary advised us accurately as to the value of our house and competitive position in the market; supervised the photography of the house; placed it on-line with her agency, Wm Pitt; and negotiated the process of showing and selling our house to the buyer....although our house pretty much sold itself by its design shown in the photographs. She proved masterful in negotiating the details on certain aspects of non-negotiable features. We are most impressed and pleased with Mary's handling of the sale of our house.louis549
Mary was a great help to us. Even though we asked her to work outside her normal area, she did research, provided extra information to help us determine a proper offer. When we got into contract, she did much of the groundwork to insure open permits were closed and gave us guidance as to what inspections would be helpful.PREFLC

Mary Phelps helped me with the sale of my condo, it was a complicated one, and she was just outstanding. She is the most professional, dedicated real estate agent I have ever worked with, and most of all: she is really really caring. She cares about you as a person and really listens to you and your needs. I truly truly recommend her.debks
Mary Phelps is professional and personable. I listed my home in July of 2010 in the slumped market. Mary gave excellent advice and hands-on help with staging, etc. She provided comprehensive market comparisons and analyses. She was honest, enthusiastic and tenacious. Her marketing was extensive and very flattering. She has a comfortable rapport with area brokers and I benefited from a great field of resources. My home took close to a year to sell. During that time Mary's attention never flagged. She continued to invest in advertising and open houses. She guided me through the final negotiations, providing a reliable buffer during the inspection stage, etc. Because of all this I wound up with a sales experience I was very comfortable with: price, closing process, etc.ann callahan
