Mary is an industry leader. She currently serves as a Director for the San Antonio Board of REALTORS® (SABOR) and Communications Chair for Texas Residential Real Estate Council. After 11 years of brokerage ownership, Mary made a deliberate shift to focus exclusively on what she loves most: serving clients at a high level. Her prior Broker-Owner experience gives her clients a powerful advantage—she understands contracts, risk, market shifts, and negotiations from every angle. Mary has helped more than 250 families achieve their real estate goals, representing over $50 million in sales. Her background includes new construction, luxury homes, relocations, international clients, first-time buyers, military, short sales, and investors—including flips, rental portfolios, and multifamily properties. As a long time investor herself, she understands real estate not just as a transaction, but as a long-term wealth and lifestyle decision.

In addition to serving San Antonio and surrounding communities, Mary is a trusted referral partner to top-performing agents nationwide and across the globe. Through decades of relationship building and leadership within the REALTOR® community, she carefully connects clients with vetted, high caliber professionals—ensuring seamless service whether her clients are moving across town, across the country, or internationally.

Outside of real estate, Mary values connection and curiosity. You’ll find her swing dancing, traveling, hiking, enjoying a great glass of red wine, hosting game nights, binge reading, or spending time with her two adult children. Work is important—but a well-lived life matters too.
