Buy On Bowen | Mary Lynn Machado PREC*

Mary Lynn was a DREAM to work with. We met with a few other realtors in the area before connecting with Mary Lynn, and I’m glad we did. She truly stands out as a reliable, knowledgeable, honest and experienced realtor on Bowen Island.It was a true team-effort working with Mary Lynn - She communicated with us clearly (taking time to explain things, work through our questions), was super responsive over texting / phone to get information we needed (quick to get the other realtors to respond to any of our questions or finding the information herself) and set time aside to be available to us when we needed her (we had long phone calls where we were able to talk with her and have confidence in our search).She’s a Bowen local and is familiar and educated on all things Bowen - from understanding the neighbourhoods and current local information, to knowing what to look for and what subjects / inspections to have to ensure we knew everything about the property prior to purchasing.We’ve worked with other realtors on previous property purchases, but no realtor has put in the time, effort and care that Mary Lynn did.We’re so happy with our results - I would hands down recommend her for anyone looking to buy or sell on Bowen Island.

I had an excellent experience with Mary Lynn. As a first time home buyer, there was a lot I didn't know, and Mary Lynn answered all my questions easily. She was also able to connect me with a bunch of excellent contacts for the rest of the process (lenders, inspectors, etc) and had a thorough knowledge of the Bowen market. I ended up with a beautiful little house that I'm very happy to own! Thank you Mary Lynn for all your expertise and help!

Mary Lynn was referred to me by a friend and she had her work cut out for her as I was a reluctant seller as I was selling due to a change in my personal situation.After following all of Mary Lynn's recommendations and seeing the finished product, I was so impressed that if I didn't already own the home, I would have been interested in it myself.Her communication was excellant as she kept me informed at each step of the procedure as to what was going on and what to expect. Mary Lynn’s marketing skills resulted in an offer that far exceeded my expectations.I would recommend Mary Lynn to anyone who is interested in buying or selling property on Bowen.

Mary Lynn was extremely helpful and responsive throughout our home purchasing process. She provided so much helpful information about Bowen and answered our questions quickly and thoroughly. We will definitely go through Mary Lynn, if we ever move again!

During the sale of our house, Mary Lynn was very friendly and approachable. She helped quell my fears and made the stressful process easy. The advertising she did.. in the newspaper and beautiful pamphlets, was amazingly professional! I would not hesitate to recommend her!

We had been watching the Bowen market for months trying to time the right time to list our property - when my husband and I saw a good opportunity to sell, we contacted Mary Lynn based on rave reviews from other locals on the island. She had our property on the market within 24 hours of connecting with her and held an open house a few days later with all the marketing materials at the ready. The open house had a big turnout and our home was sold within the week! Mary Lynn was very professional and practical in her advice and I'm thankful to have had her work with us on such a huge international move. I strongly recommend anyone who wants to buy/sell on Bowen to connect with Mary Lynn/Buy on Bowen - wildly creative, tech/social savvy and simply knows her stuff!

My husband and I were referred to work with Mary Lynn by many local folks on Bowen and we were so happy to work with her as we purchased our first home! Throughout the entire process Mary Lynn was very supportive, responsive and went above and beyond. We had a lot of questions and anxiety around purchasing our first home and Mary Lynn made sure that we understood the process from start to finish. We were very impressed by her work ethic and professionalism especially during a real estate boom in the midst of a global pandemic. We would definitely recommend Mary Lynn to be your real estate agent on Bowen!

Mary Lynn acted for us in both the sale of house and the purchase of our new one. Throughout we were delighted with Mary Lynn’s professional service. From the start when we told Mary Lynn we needed to upsize, she developed a focused strategy. She led us calmly through tense negotiations on the purchase, which were successful in securing the house we wanted within our budget. When it came to sell, Mary Lynn was diligent in researching the market and price point. She was essential at keeping us on task to have the house ready to sell and ensured the house was presented optimally. It was pitch perfect and we achieved the asking price within the first week. A resounding success. We are very pleased and would certainly recommend Mary Lynn to other buyers or sellers.

Brilliant. Our house went on the market January 31 and sold the next day for full ask. Why? Because she told us the fair price that the market indicated, she already had a small queue of clients. Of greatest importance, she is a phenominally hard worker and what we can only describe as having a phychological understanding of the dynamics of home buyers and sellers. Integrity, knows how to promote without any deception. If it's a handyman special" she will tell you it's a total mess. I only wish we had another house to sell because we would be with Mary Lynn 100%."

Mary Lynn went above and beyond for our move. We had decided to sell in 2021, so had all of our outside photos done when the garden was in bloom, the photos and drone work were amazing. When it came to selling our property, Mary Lynn's due diligence to details was outstanding. The final sales material was so wonderful, had we not be selling our property, I would have bought it!!! Thankyou for being there every step of the way, we would recommend Mary Lynn again and again. We happily sold in a week with multiple offers in March 2022.
