Mary grew up in Palm Beach County, and considers herself a Florida-native. After earning her B.S. degree from the University of Florida in 1981, she moved to Tampa and worked as a Dental Hygienist for several years, got married and had 3 children. In 1992, Mary and her family moved to Budapest, Hungary for a 10 year ‘adventure’, learning a new and exciting culture, traveling, and by and large enjoying life as an ex-pat. While in Europe, Mary enjoyed leading Girl Scouts, was active in the American School PTA and even substitute-taught English as a Second (or Third) Language.

​

Moving back home to Tampa in 2002 was a welcome change, and life as she knew it resumed. Tampa had surely changed! For Mary, 2005 was finally the time to make her dream to become a Realtor, a reality. Always considered to be ‘people-person’, and combined with her love or art and architecture, besides being married to a builder, and believing in home ownership, helping people sell and buy homes was an obvious conclusion.

​

From the beginning, she knew that the best way to learn the profession was to spend time with other successful Realtors. After working for a leading brokerage for about 10 years, she decided to get a Real Estate Broker License and break out as an independent Broker. And the journey continues, as she primarily works to market and sell for Adobe Homes, Inc., her Husband Rami's company, and list and sell from her collection of past clientele and connections. 

​

In the rare time that is considered spare, she enjoys spending time with family, visiting art galleries, traveling, and collecting art.
