About Mary Lynn

Living, and working full-time as a REALTOR@ on Bowen Island enables me to be current and knowledgeable on the local real estate market. People say that I am one of Bowen Island's outspoken ambassadors - I am constantly singing its praises. I feel incredibly fortunate to live where I do. I moved to Bowen after nearly 30 years of visiting friends, being drawn back time and again to its stunning setting, strong sense of community, and proximity to Vancouver. Now I can say that I am a local expert w...

The skillset I bring to real estate is unique. I honed my technical and artistic abilities in 3D Computer Animation/Visual Effects on Academy Award winning teams for films such as Life of Pi, The Golden Compass, and The Revenant. I have collaborated with creatives, engineers, producers, and directors, from all over the world.

I am approachable and authentic, reliable and trustworthy. Many of my clients come from referrals, which is the best testimonial of all. I am known for my expertise, responsiveness, and my enthusiasm!

I am honoured to be a member of the Medallion Club from 2022-2024 - the Top 10% of all Realtors in the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. I have been recognized by Macdonald Realty as a Top Producer for 5 years in a row from 2020-2024.

I love my island home. I would love to share it with you.

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.

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 is an excellent realtor who went above and beyond for us. Buying property let alone during COVID could have been a stressful experience.

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!

We cannot say enough positive things about the way Mary-Lynn marketed and ultimately sold our house on Bowen. The exemplary and attentive service started right from a detailed assessment report of the market, including specific guidance for the sale of our property. It continued with great guidance on preparing for sale by de-cluttering and preparing marketing material, including fantastic pictures and a drone flyover! Ultimately we had an accepted offer in just over a week and Mary-Lynn did not stop there, providing us with counsel through inspections and subject removals right up to sale in a very challenging COVID world. If you want, quality, enthusiasm and a fresh approach with a realtor who really listens, look no further than Mary-Lynn. Damian & Rosemarie

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.
