Testimonials Over the Years
"Simply put, Mary Christenson is an outstanding realtor. In buying an existing home, and selling our own home, we had extremely high expectations. Mary not only met those expectations, she exceeded them in every area. She immediately understood what our family needed. We are convinced that Mary works twenty-four hours a day because she was always available to us, and left no detail undone. When we accelerated our closing dates by three weeks, Mary never flinched. She lined up appraisales, repairs, handled title concerns, and made countless trips to both homes whenever we needed her, or simply wanted to look again at the home we were buying. Even more impressive is that even throughout all of the tasks that needed to be done, Mary seemed truly to care that we would be comfortable with our home at every moment. Mary earned our respect, we enjoy her company, and we highly recommend her." -David & Kim Albers, Kern River Estate Home Buyer, Haggin Oaks Home Seller, 2005 ______________________________________________________________________

"Mary Christenson is our realtor of choice for residential real estate! She has assisted us in buying and selling several residential properties for us over the last few years, and we recommend her highly.
Mary is one of the most consistently successful realtors in the Kern County market, and one of the hardest working people I have ever seen. Many people slow down a little when they become successful, but not Mary....the best part is that, as busy as she is, she almost always answers her own phone, and if she can't, she returns calls very quickly. Mary also utilizes e-mail very effectively, which allowed us to handle many details very efficiently. Her use of technology helps her stay on top of everything all the time: we liked receiving emails of new listings complete with photo pages. Mary's weekly newspaper advertisements and magazine ads are also veyr effective. We can always see what Mary is up to because of her very effective marketing efforts!
One of Mary's most effective marketing tools is her beautiful portfolios that she creates for many of her properties. Without that portfolio, my wife and I would have never decided to buy the home I live in now. Typically when you buy a house, you only get to see it a few short times, and it is impossible to take it all in so quickly. With the portfolio Mary created, my wife and I were able to determine in advance where our furniture would go, what matched and what didn't, etc. We found ourselves looking through the book nearly every day, and it is something we will always save.
I would recommend Mary Christenson without hesitation for all of your real estate needs. We absolutely love ournew ome, and I honestly don't think we would have been able to pull it off without Mary in our corner. We have always been very pleased with her level of service and dedication to her work."
-Jeff & Adrienne Newman, 2003, Seven Oaks Showcase Estate homeowner
"Mary, I wasn't surprised that that house obtained an offer so quickly, it was priced to sell. However I don't want that to detract from the reason we asked for you to be the person to sell this house. We wanted you because we have seen over the years that you work very hard for your clients and you do your homework. Having the brochure ready and spending the amount of time you did getting to know what was in the house made the real difference. Thank you!"
-Ron & Renee Kasberger, 2002; Oil Company transferee, Rancho Palms Estates Seller
"Mary---the Consummate professional! The most capable, competent and calm agent we've worked with across the nation!! We've observed her over the years-she seems to handle the really good properties and moves them with great results!"
-Stan & Mary Jane Antrim, 2000; Stockdale Estates Home Seller
