"The service provided by Mara and her husband Michael was second to none. Mara’s knowledge of the local area and property market is superb and way above that of any other Realtor that we have dealt with. Her knowledge is always up to date with any changes in the market. From our very first meeting through to closing Mara and Michael worked tirelessly to ensure that we achieved a quality sale and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is thinking of selling or buying in the Naples area. We would particularly recommend any European seller or buyer to employ Mara and Michael as they were constantly in touch with us in the UK and this is invaluable when you are operating at such a distance".

Your Job
1. Goals - Spend the time to identify what you are hoping to gain in your new home. Separate the needs from the wants. i.e. Location, Size, School District, Community Amenities, Style, Price Range, Financing, etc. Analyze your lifestyle and the kind of home you dream of. Think about how you would like to live your daily life. Picture your activities and how you and your family want to spend your time. Focusing on your greatest wants will help you find the best home for your lifestyle. It is just as important for us to know what you don’t like as what you like!
2. Be prepared to buy - Get your finances in order, clean up your credit, and talk to a mortgage broker or direct lender about becoming pre-approved for a loan. Knowing exactly how much you can spend can narrow your search and make it less stressful. You will also be in a much better position to act quickly should we find the right house. Being Pre-Qualified will make you a much stronger Buyer in the Seller’s eyes.
3. Hire Mara Muller as your Accredited Buyers Representative® by signing an exclusive buyers' agreement - You need help - someone who has an ear to the ground in areas where you don't. A Realtor you have hired (at no cost to you, the Buyer) to represent you is going to work hard to find the right home for you, rather than for an uncommitted buyer. Make certain you are the first one we immediately call when the best new homes becomes available!
4. Having a Buying Strategy in Place to Make Your Offer the Most Attractive:
The home you want may receive multiple offers. We need to make sure that your offer is the most attractive to the Seller. Make certain the seller knows how much you like the home, and that you are financially prepared to buy it. Keep contingencies to a minimum because the seller will assume that any contingency is a loophole to get out of the contract. If offers come down to personalities, a seller will want to sell the home to someone who "appreciates" it and offers the least amount of risk.
“It is with pleasure & sincerity that we wholeheartedly recommend the real estate services provided by Mara & Michael Muller. We are particularly happy with the very detailed information given us in order to price our house well for the current market. It sold the first week that it was listed at very close to our list price. Follow up services have also been excellent. Both Mara & Michael were easily available for any questions or concerns we had. We believe that any potential buyers or sellers would be as pleased as we have been with their very competent services. In addition, they are really nice, friendly & good people.”

“I am writing to express my thanks and gratitude for all of Mara & Michael's professional help with the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new one. From our first interaction, Mara & Michael were enthusiastic and pleasant to work with. Mara was thorough in explaining the steps we would take to make our goal a reality. She then was able to make it happen, so quickly, in fact that our friends and family were amazed. She did everything she said she was going to and much more. Mara was very cooperative and is so dedicated to her clients. Her work was top notch and her results were impressive. There was not one instance that I wanted to talk to Mara and was not able to get in touch with her quickly. Mara is so thoughtful as evidenced by numerous gestures that went above and beyond what we expected from a Realtor. We could not be more pleased with our dealings and the outcome of working with Mara & Michael.
- Dr. & Mrs. JB Brockman
"Mara goes the extra mile to ensure that everything goes very smoothly. We had a sense of confidence and peace of mind throughout the entire process. It was a pleasure working with a true professional."
