Hi, I'm Mary Kay, and I'm proud to serve homebuyers and sellers throughout Johnston, Harnett, Nash, and Wake counties. I began my real estate career 13 years ago because I've always loved working with people, and there's nothing more rewarding than helping someone step into a new chapter of their life with confidence and excitement. My clients describe me as outgoing, patient, a great communicator, and brutally honest--and I take that as the highest compliment. I believe in being upfront, staying accessible, and making sure my clients feel supported and informed every step of the way. I specialize in first-time homebuyers, move-up buyers, and VA clients, and I'm a Certified VA Specialist. As a former military spouse of 20 years and someone well-versed in the VA home loan process, I understand the unique needs and challenges military families face. Advocating for them is something I take personally and proudly. My connection to real estate runs deep. I'm currently renovating my dad's 1930s home--the house I grew up in--and that journey has given me a renewed appreciation for the emotions, memories, and meaning that a home can hold. It's a reminder every day of why I do what I do. Outside of real estate, I'm a mom to a wonderful 20-year-old son who attends Campbell University. In my free time, I run my own wreath-making business and stay active in community volunteering, both of which let me connect with people in creative and meaningful ways. Whether you're buying your first home, moving up, or navigating the VA process, my goal is simple: to be honest, dependable, and committed to helping you make the best decision for your future.
