Testimonials
"Last August, I was faced with relocating a reluctant 98-year-old sister. Your DVD (Housing Solutions for Seniors) was priceless. Over the next three months, the caring help you and Mickey provided couldn't be repaid and will never be forgotten. You endeared yourselves to an enderly person living through a highly emotional period. Your patience proved endless; your loving care was ever present. My sister looked to you for help in many personal matters. In fact, you became "family." What stands out in my memory is your motto: "We listen. We Care. We Follow Through." That says it all. You lived up to it and more--every day."
Seller: Frederick (2007)
"Mary Lou and Mickey were very professional yet felt they were our friends. They were so caring and respectful to my elderly mother and their advice and plan for the house worked so well. They are a great team!"
Seller: Jane (2007)
"We loved working with Mary Lou and her partner Mickey Coyne. We feel like we have two new friends in town! They were always there and made our first home buying experience fun and very smooth. We will definitely contact them should we sell or buy in the future. Our experience couldn't be any better!!"
Buyers: Helen and Kyle (2007)
"We were so pleased with Mary Lou and Mickey and would refer them in a heart beat to family and friends. They are professional and were very pleasurable to work with."
Sellers: Gina and Stephen (2007)
"We were treated with respect and kindness. We were given good advice that we didn’t follow at first. We then followed the advice of Mickey Coyne and Mary Lou Bigelow and sold the house within three three weeks of putting it back on the market –great advice."
Seller: Anne (2007)
"Mary Lou and Mickey represent Bowes in a very professional manner. Mickey was very accommodating when the final inspection was scheduled. I had car problems (ice) and could not get to the inspection until I had a ride. He came back when it was convenient for me."
Buyer: Clair (2007)
