About Mary

Hardwork , market knowledge, strong negotiating skills, an honest and direct approach combine with a compassionate approach that has assured Mary much repeat and referral business. Prior to real estate Mary's primary role was as a wife and Mother to John, Kathy and Mary.

In her "off" time Mary enjoys reading, travelling, some golf, being with friends and at the top of the list, Mary and David treasure family times with their 9 amazing Grandchildren and their parents.
When asked, "When are you going to retire and start having fun?"Mary responds, " I am having the most fun doing exactly what I am doing. I love what I do."

Meeting people, helping them find just the right home, in just the right neighbourhood, with just the right schools and services is like solving a giant puzzle. If anyone asks me to describe my dream job, I tell them I am living it. It's a privilege to be allowed into people's lives during what can be a difficult, sometimes emotionally-fraught time. Our first job is to make this a joyful, stress-free experience.''
John's other love – aside from his family – is basketball and he is an enthusiastic volunteer coach at the high school attended by his two daughters, Heather and Abi. Both are also community-minded, outgoing young women. It's pretty obvious the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. You will find a friend, a trusted realtor and a solid businessman in John Lindsay
