In today’s challenging real estate market, you need a real estate agent who markets aggressively, possesses excellent negotiating and communication skills and can handle complicated transactions with ease. Simply put, you need the experience and proven success of Mary Ann O’Keeffe of Coldwell Banker Hearthside Realtors.
O’Keeffe has 25 years of experience in sales, marketing and training. She worked for a Fortune 500 corporation in college and rose through the ranks. Several years ago, O’Keeffe moved back to Bucks County with her husband and four children from New York, where she worked as a Realtor. O’Keeffe became licensed in Pennsylvania and joined Coldwell Banker in its Yardley office.
O’Keeffe views herself as a personal assistant to clients. “As a Realtor, I build relationships with clients that are based on my expertise and respect for them, their hopes and dreams. Clients say that I have devoted so much time to them, that they feel they are my private clients,” she says.
She is gratified that her personal care has resulted in many referrals. “I don’t have ‘one-and-done relationships’ with my clients,” she says.
One happy couple reports, “Within three months our house was sold and we received our desired price. Mary Ann’s marketing program worked. She is our ‘Realtor for Life.’ She knows this market and the challenges over the past few years.”
Adds O’Keeffe, “People trust me with their single largest asset. It’s a responsibility I take very seriously. I give 110 percent because their success is ultimately my success.”
O’Keeffe’s emphasis on personal service has driven her success. “Working for a Fortune 500 company, I had to always meet and exceed clients’ needs. In real estate transactions, you must tackle a myriad of details. If you can handle all of those details for your clients, making the sale or purchase as seamless and stress free as possible, then you are bound to be successful.”
Currently, O’Keeffe has an exceptional Ivyland property listed. This luxurious 11,000-square-foot home sits on five lush acres with perennial gardens and flowing trees. Shimmering ponds stocked with gold fish are surrounded by patios and a tennis court.
The kitchen pops with expansive custom cherry cabinets by Neff. Travertine floors, a tumbled marble tile backsplash and gleaming granite countertops accented with splashes of seafoam and ochre complete the gourmet kitchen. A temperature-controlled wine cellar with the capacity for 2,000 bottles is adjacent to an entertainment area. An indoor pool beckons.
The large soaking tub atop an open pedestal is a focal point of the master bath. A full-wall vanity of dark cherry contains two onyx vessel sinks. The 10 by 10 foot island shower with radiant heated floors and marble bench sits beneath a high, cupola ceiling.
O’Keeffe is part of an exclusive group of certified Coldwell Banker Previews Property Specialists which allows her to market luxury homes (such as the Ivyland home) globally. On average, Previews handles $76.7 million in luxury home sales daily.
Watch for O’Keeffe on Bucks & Montgomery Television, a new cable program broadcast on WMCN-TV. The show is produced and hosted by Emmy-award winning journalist, Rich Noonan, former anchor of Channel 29 News in Philadelphia.
This innovative multimedia venture is the only publication-based television show in the country that directs readers to video segments through the clever incorporation of a new technology called Microsoft Tags.
The tag is a small multi-colored square printed within an advertisement or feature story. Users simply download the free app from Microsoft into their web-enabled (smart) phone. Then they snap a picture of the tag with their phone, which takes them directly to the business’ Web site or, in the case of Bucks & Montgomery Living Television, to the spot produced for the show.
O’Keeffe’s properties are all over the Web, including YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Additionally, Coldwell Banker is the first real estate brand with international listings on an iPhone and Google Android applications.
