Working with Maryann was an absolute pleasure. Her professionalism, experience, and thoughtful advice guided us through even the more difficult moments of the home-buying process with confidence and reassurance. As the ancient Chinese proverb says, "To know the road ahead, ask those coming back." Maryann's knowledge, patience, and steady guidance made all the difference, and we are truly grateful for her support throughout this journey.

Maryann was amazing. In a field where there are frequently people who will say or do anything, or fail to follow through with what they promise, she was truly amazing and exceptional. Maryann brings to the table a wealth of knowledge, vast experience, boundless energy, reliability, trustworthiness, and positivity. I have dealt with more brokers than most people, and I have never, ever, had such a wonderful experience as I did with Maryann. In my opinion Maryann is the "gold standard" by which all other brokers should be measured against.

Maryann was amazing to work with. She was very patient and was willing to spend as much time and as many house visits as it took to find my family the perfect house. I never felt pressure from Maryann and she understood our specific needs and was able to find us exactly what we were looking for. If you are looking for the perfect realtor, look no more.

We felt strongly that Maryann was genuinely on our side and working to find the best house that fit our needs. We can't recommend Maryann enough!

If you're ready to make a move, she is someone you can rely on who makes the process not only seamless, but enjoyable.

Maryann has an in-depth knowledge of Scarsdale and what is going on in the real-estate market in Westchester. She was able to guide us through the midst of pandemic and a tough time to find the place we now call home. She was also quite helpful post that purchase for the next year or so to get us acquainted with the town's policies and procedures.

Hitesh & Deepti

When we started looking for a house we were working with different agents and it was not really easy until we found Maryann. She was professional, responsive and knowledgeable.

D & V
via Houlihan Lawrence

At the start of COVID she was able to not only secure a deal for our dream house in a competitive market, but expertly navigated the ever changing shutdowns and barriers presented by the pandemic. She connected us with great resources and ensured we were represented and our needs were met. We cannot recommend her enough!

Maryann is everything you want from a real estate agent: well connected, has great advice, and moves fast when a market is hot. She will walk you through every step, no question is too stupid, and her attention to detail (permits, house history, title) is unsurpassed. Hire her!

After years of horrible agents in Manhattan, I was skeptical, but Maryann quickly put those concerns to rest with her professionalism, friendliness, responsiveness, and attention to detail. This was our first home buying experience in Westchester so we had a lot of questions and concerns. Maryann made us feel comfortable throughout the entire daunting process and took the time to answer any questions we had honestly.

Not only did she offer us invaluable and professional advice, but she was always the most encouraging person to talk to when things didn't go the way we hoped. We were confident that we were in good hands. We highly recommend Maryann to help you buy or sell your next home.

What a privilege to write a testimonial on behalf of Maryann Petrescu, who was absolutely fantastic as our licensed agent for both the purchase and the sale of our homes.

Chrystel D & Edward H

Maryann went above and beyond to be there for us any time of the day, show us any house we wanted to see, get us in the house the day it hit the market, and walked us through the buying process which was extremely helpful as it was our first home. I never felt any pressure. She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy and professional.

Ashley & Jay
via Houlihan Lawrence

She was very passionate about showing us different types of houses, never in a rush although she was very busy — she always pointed to us the pros and cons for each house that we saw. Her experience and knowledge played a significant role in our final decision.

Denisa E
via Houlihan Lawrence

Maryanne is an excellent realtor who I have relied on since 2014. She has helped me with 3 real-estate transactions in the neighborhoods of Scarsdale and Greenburgh. There is no one else in Westchester County that can work harder to sell your current residence or to buy your future family home. Highly recommended!

Fernando E
via Houlihan Lawrence

Maryann was always there, always ready to help, lucid in her explanations of marketplace reality and the house-selling process, energetic and good-natured even as we dealt with a difficult potential buyer. I'd rate her as top-notch by every measure.

Steve Z
via Houlihan Lawrence

We had listed our home initially with a different realtor who was unresponsive and dropped the ball on several occasions. We then worked with Maryann who made the sale smooth and easy. She was there for us when we called or an issue came up which needed immediate attention. I would highly recommend Maryann.

teerago
via Houlihan Lawrence

Maryann was patient and professional with our family when I'm sure we would have driven other realtors absolutely nuts. She always made us feel at ease and was willing to go the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable with any decision we had to make. Highly recommend!

Darin K
via Houlihan Lawrence

The time period was short because as soon as I met Mary, within 2 weeks I found my dream home. So if you're looking for someone who has your best interest at heart, she is the realtor to work with! Without hesitation I would highly recommend her!

Julia G
via Houlihan Lawrence

We were new to Westchester and clueless about home buying. Maryann took care of everything during the negotiation process, house inspection, closing, and even after closing. We absolutely recommend Maryann to anyone looking for peace of mind when buying a home!

Denisa & Victor
via Houlihan Lawrence

I've worked with Maryann many times on both purchases and sales of my residences over the last 25 years. She is knowledgeable and easy to work with. She is also very patient and has expertise of the lower Westchester county area. I would highly recommend her.

Pasqua L
via Houlihan Lawrence

MaryAnn is very professional and sold my house in 4 months. She did a good job advertising the premises. She was particularly helpful during the final aspects of the sale which involved inspections and paperwork, and she was always available to step in and helped the closing go smoothly.
