Mary Ann Testimonials     To Whom It May Concern:    It is my pleasure to work with Mary Ann Chapman and her skills and her abilities to act as a Realtor in a short sale situation as well as a traditional sale. Given the current RE market, and the  work that I do as a bankruptcy attorney, I had been searching for a realtor to refer clients that are in need of a short sale. Mary Ann is one of the few that actually understands the short sale process and is willing to act in that environment. Over the months it has been my pleasure to refer many clients to Mary Ann. My experience has been that she is a very communicative realtor and works extremely professional and well with her clients. Moreover, she understands the process very well. It will be my pleasure to continue to refer clients to Mary Ann in the future.

To Whom it May Concern: I would like to write a letter regarding my relationship and experience with MaryAnn Chapman.  I met MaryAnn 8 months ago when I decided to put my house up for sale.  Because of my situation I needed to learn about my options and was seeking advice about what to do.  MaryAnn came to my house and sat with me.  She explained my options and answered all of my questions.  It was extremely informational and I was very pleased.  Since then she has put in SO many hours of work on my behalf.  She has a vast knowledge of the short sales market and is extremely professional.  She kept in contact with me on a monthly basis until we received our first offer.  Since then, MaryAnn has sent me updates of any progress or let me know that there WAS NO PROGRESS at LEAST once a week.  There are so many steps and so much involved when doing a short sale; she has been very helpful and informative throughout it all.  I have a great deal of respect and trust in MaryAnn.  Her personality is just a bonus.  She is a very sweet and charismatic person.  She is passionate in what she does and knows how to get things done.  Not only would I recommend any of my family and friends to her, I intend to use her when the time comes to purchase another home as well.  I would be happy to give a referral or answer any questions regarding my experience with MaryAnn Chapman.  I have given Mary Ann permission to give out my personal cell number to anyone who would like to speak to me directly regarding her services.

My name is Nick Stratton and in 2008 I was facing a difficult decision with the home that I had purchased in 2007. Due to market conditions and a change in employment I was facing foreclosure as I knew that I would be unable to pay my mortgage even with a renter. I was reffered to Mary Ann from a family friend. From the moment we sat down she was very reassuring and understanding of my situation. She worked tirelessly and always seemed to put my needs first. She has an outstanding work ethic and a great system to help people with these kinds of issues. Thanks to Mary Ann Chapman and her skills, I was able to avoid foreclosure and short-sale my home. It was a very quick and seemingly painless procedure. She deserves ALL the credit and I would recommend her to anyone facing the same problems. She will never  need to advertise her services – her referral base is huge.

Dear Maryann, I would like to Thank You so much for the service that you have provided me with, in such a short time frame, that was only available  to sell my property with under the situation. I knew if we didn’t sell that the bank was going to take me to foreclosure…thank you for guiding me on how to sell it without having to even go the short sale path. I would have not known my options had you not come to me with such experience.  I am very thankful to Attorney Mike Sheridan for referring me to you. He told me that you are the best and  I think that you did an magnificent job in less than a week.
I would love to refer you to others if it is okay with you, as  I think your service is just awesome,  I agree with my attorney –  you are the best.
Once again  THANK YOU for your service

I am an investor in the finance business. We lost our home to foreclosure but please READ ON: Mary Ann was referred to me by a property management company that I had my home with. I am from California and found myself upside down on my property. From day ONE, she took on the task and worked our file relentlessly. Unfortunately, my lender would not cooperate and with reckless abandon she tried all she could to get the deal done RIGHT UP UNTIL THE VERY END!. I knew going into the short sale process that there were no guarantees…and we lost our home to foreclosure. I do NOT blame Mary Ann for that in the least. She and her staff were right on top of every change and every scenario-the offer was simply not what Countrywide would accept. Mary Ann and I spent an emotional hour speaking when I got the news-she felt it as hard as I did. She took the time to listen to my emotions and did all she could do to help us. I don’t know that every homeowner can win with the lenders…but I will tell you that SHE has my business and my respect…in fact,  I used her to refer another home that I have in California and she worked with the CA Realtor to the finish line! I would recommend her over and over again! Her knowledge is impeccable!!

Mary Ann Chapman was absolutely the best thing that happened to us when we decided to move to the Phoenix area! My husband found her through a Realtor referral site on the net. She was extremely helpful and kind to us from the start. We are impressed by her efficiency, her strength, her knowledge in all facets of real estate including the short sale and bank owned system. We purchased a bank owned property through her and we were totally blown away with how professionally she handled our file! She had a a genuine care for the needs of our family.  Mary Ann has the skills and personality to get things done and stayed right on top of the entire home buying  process, always going a step beyond. Not only is she herself, an amazing powerhouse of energy and talents, but she also has incredible  resources that she can rely on and refer to as needed. We knew we were in capable hands and feel blessed to have the opportunity to work with Mary Ann. Truly, everything fell into place because she made it happen! We have and will always continue to refer every one of our family members and friends to her as we are confident that she’ll pull through for them as well. I will be happy to give a verbal  testimony to who ever feels that they need to hear it that way. Mary Ann’s services are stellar!

I work/travel in the sales field and am far too busy to spend a lot of time working with a RE agent that has no knowledge of this crazy market. I needed someone who was on top of the industry and was referred to Mary Ann by a friend that had used her to short sale her home. I was moving to the valley and needed to find a home quick. I am now referring her to my center of influence.  From the moment she met up with me, she had her game face on. Mary Ann spent an hour explaining the short sale and bank owned process and what I would need to expect from this very strange market. When we finished with the meeting at her office, I left there with every question answered and fully aware of what was ahead of me.   She picks up the phone even late at night (sorry Mary Ann..lol!) My texts got answered right away. Emails were responded to in a timely manner…she is always on top of her game.  I have been in her presence when she has had conversations with the listing agents she contacted, and she always exemplifies  respect to her peers. She is also a team player. I was genuinely impressed on how she treats other realtors. That speaks volumes about her professionalism. We found the perfect home and she went to work getting the best deal for me…I am her client forever and she has my utmost respect.
