Sales Associate

As both a licensed Realtor since 1994 and a Certified Public Accountant since 1986, Mary McBeth has seen all aspects of a real estate transaction.  After working in sales for more than fifteen years, Mary recently served as a Forensic Accountant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) focusing on mortgage fraud.  In the '80s, she also gained invaluable knowledge as an accountant for various real estate developers.  However, time spent in the accounting arena reminded Mary (twice) that her priority in life is working with people.  With that in mind, she returned to full-time real estate sales and John Daugherty, Realtors.

Always accessible, Mary thrives on making close connections.  Thus, most of her business has been repeat and referral based; many clients become friends.  Mary's low key demeanor serves her clientele well.  Her professional approach to listing and selling homes is paramount to success in what is both a financial and emotional transaction.  Client comments regarding Mary's business acumen include:

"Mary has handled five transactions in the Memorial Villages for us.  She is so thorough that we've referred her to both family and friends who've used her repeatedly with positive results."  Lori and Kelly Froelich, Memorial Villages

"After looking at homes for months, Mary helped us find the perfect one before it came on the market.  She knew what we wanted and made it happen.  She then listed our home and made that process pain free."  Greg and Donna Maag, Memorial Villages

"Mary went far above and beyond the call of duty when an attic fire did substantial damage while our listed house was under contract for sale.  We were overseas, and Mary spent countless hours working with us, the purchasers, and the insurance agent to reach a satisfactory solution for all.  Of course Mary was our agent again upon our return to the USA.  She has great interpersonal skills and is a pleasure to work with."  Tom and Marianne Hurley, Memorial Villages, Katy, Texas

"When my home in Louisiana sold quicker than anticipated, I called Mary.  The next thing I knew I was moving into the home I had imagined.  She made all the arrangements - an easy move into a home in which I'm still happy twelve years later."  Dr. Frank Busch, West Houston

"Mary sold my home during a slow market at a profit to me.  She explained all aspects of the process with such attention to detail.  I enjoyed working with her so much that we're now friends!"  Meg Laidlaw, River Oaks Area

"Mary was my Realtor when I was a new divorcee buying a home by myself for the first time.  She was very patient and guided me every step of the way. I highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home." Rebecca Townsend, West Houston

Despite the accolades, Mary believes a key ingredient of every transaction is to work well with all parties involved.  This win-win attitude helps ensure a smooth closing and beyond for clients.  Having lived in both the Memorial and Inner Loop areas of Houston, Mary concentrates on these locales.  She'll gladly list and show homes outside of these boundaries upon request.

When not selling real estate, Mary enjoys spending time with family and friends, walking her Sheltie, catching the latest movie at the historic River Oaks Theater, and remodeling homes.  She is passionate about preserving the past while embracing the future.

A fifth generation Texan who was raised in south Louisiana, Mary also earned an Accounting degree from Louisiana Tech University and graduated from the Forensic Accountant training program at the FBI Academy in Quantico, VA.  Let Mary put her investigative skills to work for you when buying or selling a home is your priority.
