About Mary

Raised in Arcadia and Paradise Valley, Mary has more than 20 years of residential and commercial real estate experience in Metro Phoenix. After living in the Washington, DC area for nine years, she moved back to Phoenix to be closer to her family and old (and new) friends. After graduating from Arizona State University with a degree in English, Mary moved to Washington, D.C., to work at the White House as a Special Assistant to the Vice President. She then served as Assistant Vice President for Marketing and Public Relations at a publicly traded community bank. After nine years in D.C. and Northern Virginia, with an extensive background in marketing and public relations, Mary moved back to Phoenix to be closer to her family. Eager for a change, Mary transitioned into real estate, where she's enjoyed a robust career in both commercial and residential real estate, working for CB Richard Ellis, Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty, and Colliers International. Ultimately preferring the more personal client interactions of residential real estate, Mary joined Nest in 2021.
