I have been in Real Estate since 1986. I am very knowledgeable in various aspects of the transaction from financing to negotiations, 1st time home buyers as well as 2nd and 3rd home purchases. As a listing and marketing agent, my sellers receive the most thorough individualized marketing strategy to fully expose their home to the market, displaying full color brochures, "musical virtual tours" on the internet with high quality digital photos, as well as consistent communication and follow-up. I include professional home staging as part of the marketing plan prior to the home's presentation to the market. Realtor Broker Tours increase the exposure while I also market the home via targeted advertising campaigns such as E mail Blasts, Top search engine sites and brochure boxes. I have strong negotiating skills and am very committed to “Getting the job done!”

I come from a family of builders and am familiar with new construction as well as rehabbing homes. As a buyer's agent, the client will receive complete representation on any purchase. I prepare a market analysis of the area and type of home in consideration to insure the buyer can make an educated decision on the values in the area. I am always available to help or answer questions.

My job is to try and get you the home you want while preparing a presentation that will make a seller seriously consider your offer. Preparation is very important in the negotiating process. I have been in dual offers many times and know how important it is to be prepared! I also work with several lenders, home inspectors, contractors, etc.. so that I may refer reputable people to help the buyer complete the transaction.

As a full time Managing Broker, I keep up to the minute information on market conditions and any new listings that become available. I act in a timely fashion so that my client has every advantage in not losing that ideal property! My knowledge of the areas, schools, etc. can prove most helpful when choosing the right location. Every advantage to the buyer is addressed! Your best interests are very important to me. Our automated website and the MLS Connect can forward listings as soon as they become available! Simply give us your "wish list" and E-mail address and we'll do the rest!

A Personal Message
From Mary Opfer

I've been a full time licensed Realtor since 1986 and offer Exclusive Seller & Buyer Agency. I am the Managing broker of the Cary Grove/Crystal Lake Location. One of 4 Mega Offices servicing the Northwest Suburbs in Illinois. I am very knowledgeable in all levels of real estate from Relocation and the resale of existing construction to the actual building of New Construction. Married to a builder, we have helped design and build many homes in Cary and the McHenry County Area. I have an honest, no-nonsense approach to buying and selling. My detailed marketing plan is flexible and customized and I use the latest technology to offer the highest levels of service to all my clients.

I offer Exclusive Buyer and Seller Representation and Professional Home Staging. Home Staging is crucial to a successful sale and I am an Accredited Staging Professional. When listing a home I take a complete and thorough walk through both inside and out. Staging is a big part of the selling process. Helping you to show your property at its best will also net you more money in a shorter amount of time on the market. Statistics show that a Staged Home has a better chance of selling, especially in today's highly competitive market. What sellers need to know that staging doesn’t always involve spending a lot of money to get your home ready for the market. While painting and cleaning along with organizing and de-cluttering are very important, we often use much of what the homeowner already has in the home to create a peaceful and inviting environment that the buyer will appreciate. We also do a musical virtual tour with multiple photos which the internet buyers really enjoy viewing and sellers love them too! I make sure to use multiple photos with the best quality digital photos. Statistics show that buyers will visit homes that have a lot of photos so we take as many as we can upload! It’s important that we also make sure our photos reflect the seasons and changes and we have the capability of changing them as needed. We work hard so you don't have to!

My family and I have lived in the McHenry area for more than 23 years. We've built & sold new homes in Cary & Crystal Lake. I make sure my clients interests are kept a top priority in negotiating contracts, follow up with lenders, attorneys, etc. and always keep them informed throughout the entire process. I am always available to answer any questions. I want you as a "customer for life" so I pride myself on "complete customer satisfaction."

I am affiliated with the #1 REMAX Office in the Northwest Suburbs. With over 100 agents in 4 offices serving over 5 counties, we were the leader in production and sales for the Northwest Region for REMAX of Northern Illinois. Our market presence and Internet website are the best in the industry. We pride ourselves on having the latest technology and resources available to be a leader in the Real Estate Industry. Keeping up with the ever changing industry, I pride myself on making sure I have all the necessary tools and education is key. I most recently completed my SFR (Short Sale and Foreclosure) Certification through the National Association of Realtors, to insure I was better equipped to handle the needs of my clients that may be experiencing this difficult situation. I wanted to affectively and successfully guide both sellers and buyers through this very difficult and tedious process.
