I get great satisfaction when I see my clients at the grocery store, or on the hiking trails, with smiles on their faces, knowing that I was able to help them achieve their dreams of buying on Bowen.

Listed and Sold a property for Anne Dingwall in 2023.
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%.

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 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.

I wanted a realtor with recent experience selling in this crazy market so that I would get the best advice possible as I was a first time seller. Mary Lynn Machado provided helpful guidance through the entire sales process. Her attention to all the marketing materials - clear, crisp, nicely staged and well composed photos, a stunning video, eloquent descriptions and a lovely brochure, all came together to draw serious buyers. The house sold above asking price and I was thrilled with the result. Mary Lynn has a high level of integrity and is very responsive - there to support whatever is needed.

We worked with Mary Lynn for over a year looking for the perfect place. We had very specific needs and requirements, and Mary Lynn was patient, resourceful, and extremely generous with her time and advice. She kept her eyes open for something that ticked all the boxes on our unique wish list, and somehow managed to make the impossible happen. She ended up finding us the perfect place before it ever hit the market, arranging for a private sale in a crazy market to boot! She went above and beyond, and we are ever so grateful.

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!

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.

Tenacious Mary Lynn stikes again! We decided to sell our house on Bowen and move to Nelson but had only 3 weeks to sell. Mary Lynn sprung into action and sold our house in a record 24 hours. Her background in visual FX allows her to create professional quality materials quickly to promote the sale of your house. We highly recommend using her if you are looking to buy or sell your home. And she just happens to be very charming.

When the time came to sell our house on Bowen, we approached Mary Lynn as she had recently sold a couple of houses in our neighbourhood and came highly recommended. We were impressed by Mary Lynn's visually stunning marketing materials. We found her to be diligent and hard-working. She was good at keeping us abreast of developments and she made the whole process quite painless - even during a pandemic. Mary Lynn is outstanding! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

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.
