"If you have any real estate needs, you owe it to yourself and your wallet to call Mary McMichael-Liston ! Highly Recommended !!!!"
"Mary helped me buy my home 5 years ago so when it came time for me to sell it, it was a no brainer , I called Mary . She not only came right out , but had a good market analysis for my home and a realistic time frame to make it all happen. I worked quite hard to make my home presentable for resale ,and with Mary's help, My home was in contract the Very First Day that it was shown, and for slightly more than asking price ! She made the selling experience so easy and kept me very informed of all the details and things that were going on right down to the closing,which was today . I was in contract on my home and Mary closed the deal in 20 DAYS ! If you have any real estate needs, you owe it to yourself and your wallet to call Mary McMichael-Liston ! Highly Recommended !!!!"

“She is vastly knowledgeable of neighborhoods, quality home construction, and how to make a winning bid.”
Mary was simply the best to work with. As a first time home buyer, I felt overwhelmed and intimidated by today’s competitive market. But having Mary as my agent gave me the confidence to know that I was working with one of the best and, with patience, would find the right house. Sure enough, I did. Mary never tried to pressure me to bid on a house that I didn’t feel was right just because it was in my price range or in an area I liked. She is vastly knowledgeable of neighborhoods, quality home construction, and how to make a winning bid. She guides you through the contract process every step and will fight for you and on your side if something goes awry. Mary was recommended to me by my significant other and I will continue that tradition by recommending her to anyone looking to buy a home. There is a reason she has been in this business for 21 years and I can’t think of another realtor i would trust more than Mary.
KATE SILKOWSKI
“Wish there were six stars!”
Wish there were six stars! Mary has set the bar ultra high with this sale! First off she has stayed in loose touch for several years and I never felt annoyed by her checking in here and there as she did. When it came time she was the only realtor I contacted and thankful that I did. The entire process was smooth even with the local tag sale person she recommended. Even with a small snag to close the sale, Mary was prompt to negotiate a solution. House sold after 19 years of ownership and she made the process enjoyable for me.
DARIN FULKS
“She is the only Realtor we will ever use.”
"We’ve had Mary represent us for years and she is the only Realtor we will ever use. Her knowledge and experience is unparalleled. She was able to guide us through the entire process. Always calm and proactive. In contract with multiple and backup offers in 3 days!"
SONYA DUSTHIMER
“44 people walked through the home on that first day and I was in contract on day two well above list price.”
"Mary was a tremendous help in selling my home in Gahanna. She gave fine advise on staging the home and found an excellent photograph to post pictures of the place. When it came time for the showing, 44 people walked through the home on that first day and I was in contract on day two well above list price. I could not have been any more pleased with the experience."
RON DAVIS
“She sold the unsellable house. She's awesome! You won't go wrong.”
"I tried to sell my house with several other realtors. I gave up. Mary contacted me and asked if I would relist. I told her I'm considering it and to call back. She and a few others had called. I told each of them the same thing. Mary is the only one that called back. I knew she was aggressive and wanted to use her. I laughed when I told her several other have tried and failed. Not Mary! She sold the unsellable house. She's awesome! You won't go wrong."
TOM MATHENA
“She did a great job with staging and showing our condo to best advantage.”
"Mary helped us sell our Westerville condo and buy a home in Blacklick (Gahanna schools). On the selling front, she did a great job with staging and showing our condo to best advantage. On the buying front, Mary used her savvy knowledge of realtor tools to identify a large number of houses that met our criteria; then exhibited strong organizational skills and perseverance in setting up a marathon weekend of looking at potential new homes. We would definitely recommend Mary to others!"

I strongly recommended Mary to dozens of friends and co-workers."
JAMES MILLER

HANNAH SMITH
“ I can recommend Mary without reservation to any prospective buyer or seller of a home."
"Mary handled the sale of my wife 's and my condos in Grove City. She also found us a fine house in which we lived for six years. Following the death of my wife, Mary found a buyer for the house now jointly owned by myself and my wife's son and daughter. Mary is a top notch agent and has extensive knowledge of the residential real estate market. I can recommend Mary without reservation to any prospective buyer or seller of a home."
BILL RANDOLPH
“I was able to sell the condo for the highest price for that condominium area.”
"Mary helped me buy and eventually sell the same condo. Mary was very honest and realistic about what my expectations should be but at the same time very creative and I was able to sell the condo for the highest price for that condominium area. She is truly remarkable at her work and I would refer her to all my friends/family and would only hire Mary if I ever moved to the Columbus, Ohio area again. She was always easily reachable and this made it easy to sell my condo even though I live in California."
DR. JORGE GUZMAN
“I would not hesitate recommend Mary to a prospective home buyer.”
Mary is very flexible and accommodating during the viewing process. She bring a wealth of experience to the review process to help provide guidance and insight, when desired. When it moves on to crunch time, Mary gets all the paperwork together lightning fast. She is also able to recommend additional clauses or addendum that might apply to special situations. I would not hesitate recommend Mary to a prospective home buyer.
SPENCER CAHOON
“I was in contract within three days and was able to achieve over asking price!”

“ I always felt that Mary was looking out for my best interest.”

Mary was very upfront and realistic about what my expectations should be. She did not sugar coat anything and I found that to be very helpful. Throughout the process Mary was exceptionally patient and supportive. She answered all of my questions and was readily available whenever I needed to process anything! I always felt that Mary was looking out for my best interest. I would (and have!) highly recommend Mary to anyone looking to sell and/or buy a home!"

TRACY SLONE
“I truly cannot say enough good things about Mary.”
“I truly cannot say enough good things about Mary. As a first time home buyer I had no idea what to expect but she was there for me every step of the way and always answered my calls and texts. If it wasn’t for Mary I probably would’ve given up in the middle of the process when my first home I was in contract with fell through. She never made me feel like I was a bother and assured me we would find the right place and we did! Mary I can’t thank you enough for all that you have done and I would never use another realtor!“

She was a great communicator, a conscientious worker, and an overall respectable, trustworthy person. I highly recommend her to my friends and family!”

She was super responsive and made us feel very comfortable buying from long distance.
With the tough market right now, she was not fazed and even though we at times felt discouraged, she was ready to go after the next one so we were in end successful finding the house that was right for us.

"We highly recommend Mary McMichael-Liston as a listing agent!"
“Mary McMichael-Liston did an outstanding job of selling our home, which had been on the market for six months (much to our surprise). We decided to switch Realtors and after interviewing three, we chose Mary.

We were so pleased with the way she handled everything. We highly recommend Mary McMichael-Liston as a listing agent!"

”Her attitude and professionalism convinced us that Mary would be able to get our house sold in a minimal amount of time. It only took 2 months form listing to closing! We did not have to lower the price once, a severe contrast from the previous listing with another agency where the asking price was reduced three times with no offers. We would definitely recommend Mary to anyone who requires the service of a well-qualified and most competent Realtor. We are thankful for all she has done.

Mary contacted us about helping us sell our home when it did not sell with the first agent. She impressed us right away with her market knowledge. She did a lot of preliminary work, helping us stage the home and price it correctly, that was very helpful. The manner in which she calmed my husband's worries about the time frame in which the house would sell was especially helpful to me! We were very satisfied. We found Mary to be more of a friend than a sales person and we are happy to recommend her.

I have been impressed with Mary's command of knowledge pertaining to specific sales, such as details regarding the purchase of a country home. Mary addressed items in a timely manner and kept me on track for contingencies and deadlines. She recommended inspectors and vendors as I needed them.
Mary's knowledge of the neighborhood and comparable sales was very important and helpful. Her insights into negotiations and her suggestions about the bargaining process were extremely helpful. The offer that I made was strong as a result and she helped make me feel confident that I was making the right decisions at each step of the way.
Overall I have been impressed by Mary's efficiency, knowledge, and friendliness. I was very satisfied with her service and I will recommend her in the future.

Mary was excellent! She was always available when we needed something and never left us hanging. She kept us in the loop and advised us on what actions were needed and when.

We would highly recommend Mary.
