About Me

Hi, I’m Mary Vallely—thanks for stopping by! Real estate is more than buying or selling a home—it’s about making one of the biggest financial and lifestyle decisions of your life. My job is to make the process clear, less stressful, and ultimately rewarding for you. Whether you’re selling a property or searching for the perfect place to call home, I’ll be your trusted partner every step of the way.

For Sellers

My goal is simple: to help you get the best price, in the least amount of time, with the least amount of stress. Here’s what you can expect when working with me:

• A personalized marketing plan designed to maximize exposure.
• Honest advice on improvements that bring the best return.
• Strong negotiation skills—always working for you, never against you. (I don’t practice dual agency.)
• Experience that benefits investors, homeowners, and those 55+ navigating the next chapter with care and patience.

For Buyers

Finding the right home should feel exciting, not overwhelming. When we work together, you’ll get:

• A customized home search and daily updates tailored to your needs.
• A clear strategy for finding the right home at the right price.
• Guidance on whether your purchase is a smart investment for the future.
• Step-by-step support through the entire process—from your first showing to closing day.
• Help connecting with trusted lenders to explore financing options.

A Little More About Me

• I was born and raised in Chicago, and I now proudly call Lake County home. I know both markets inside and out.
• Before real estate, I was a teacher and a Peace Corps volunteer—helping and empowering people has always been at the heart of what I do.
• I’m also an experienced investor, having bought and sold nine properties myself.
• I’m a full-time agent who believes knowledge is power. My goal is always to share what I know so you feel confident and empowered throughout the process.

At the end of the day, real estate is about trust, relationships, and results—and I’m here to deliver all three.

Let’s connect and map out a strategy to achieve your real estate goals.
