Testimonials
Mary is an extremely personable, customer focused agent! She was invaluable not only in negotiating the sale of my home but also in being available to answer any questions and allay any concerns I had. I give her my highest recommendation. -Josh M

Our Reece and Nichols agent , Mary Richards, did an excellent job marketing and following through with the sale of our house. We are extremely pleased with the level of service that she provided. We will consider her in the future for other real estate transactions and would recommend her to family and friends.
We had dealt with a couple of real estate agents prior to meeting Mary and we were extremely dissatisfied with them. Mary exhibited excellent communication skills and methods, as well as provided much needed experience and expertise in the real estate transaction. We also appreciated Mary's integrity and trustworthiness. We were able to depend on her and know that she was being up front with us and recommending the right choices for us.
Jason and I are confident that our house successfully sold because of Mary's dedicated efforts and the advantages of the Reece and Nichols agency. The "Sell My Home" web page was great! I was able to check on the status of showings and our listing daily. Reece and Nichols has an excellent reputation in the metro are-this was also a contributor to the sale of our home in addition to Mary's reputation in the industry. Mary is a top-notch agent and we greatly appreciate all that she did for us! -Jason and Amy P

Mary Richards provided excellent service. We would definitely go back to Mary for any future real estate transactions in the Kansas City area. Thanks Mary! -Debbie D

I can not begin to tell you how incredible Mary Richards has been to work with! She went so far above and beyond to make our home buying experience a pleasant, smooth and fulfilling process. We found our home literally within hours and she helped us make a successful offer that same day. She was always just a phone call away-very accessible-and she really listened and met our needs promptly. She located and delivered boxes for our move, brought donuts and treats for the kids during our move and even sent over her own yard boy to mow our new lawn after closing because the previous owner left it undone.
I can't wait to recommend Mary to everyone I know contemplating a move. She was not only the best real estate agent ever but has become a valued friend as well! -Jessica F

I can't say enough about Mary's work ethic and commitment to serving her clients! Since our closing we have already passed her name along to several of our friends and will continue to do so in the years to come. ~David & Carolyn L

Moving from one side of the state to the other was extremely stressful. We had to sell a house in St. Louis and buy a house in the KC area. We can't imagine doing that without Mary Richards. She kept in constant contact with us. We only had to make two trips here to find a house. The first time she had 12 houses lined up to show us, all within our price range. The second time she sowed us 3 houses. She didn't waste our time showing us houses we couldn't afford. She took us to houses that fit our needs. She worked with the agent that was selling our house in St. Louis to make sure that the closings would be flawless. They were. Mary didn't just leave us at the dor of our new house. She stayed in contact with us to make sure we were settled in and familiar with our new home and community. I would also like to mention that she took time to find things in the area for my sons. She knew it would be difficult for them to change schools, homes, friends...so she tried to make it a little more enjoyable for them. ~ Robert & Gale W

Mary went above and beyond helping me purchase my new home. She always returned phone calls and almost always able to get the information I asked for. I believe she was honest and up-front - which is very important to me. ~Diane H
