MaryLou is an exceptional Realtor ! I fully agree with the comments shared by others, she helped us through a very difficult short sale and stuck with us through to the closing. If it had not been for her knowledge, persistance and support I don't think we would have been able to close the deal. I highly recomend her for all your real estate needs!

Mary Lou Mannino did not only provide my husband and I with the utmost professionalism, she paid close attention to our needs and helped us find our dream home. Mary Lou spent countless hours with us in helping to make sure we were properly educated in the house buying and house selling process. No matter the time of day or day of week, Mary Lou always made sure our questions were answered in a timely fashion. When it came time to negotiating the price of our new home, we were able to comfortably close the deal without stepping out of our budget. I would highly recommend Mary Lou to ANYONE new or experienced in the home buying or home selling process as she would be SURE to get you what it is you're looking for.

Mary Lou sold both my mother's home and my mother-in-law's home in the past year. She also helped my mother buy her new home. She was there every step of the way with all three transactions. I'm not quite sure how we could have done it without her. Mary Lou is an experienced professional, but more importantly, she is a compassionate, caring person who always puts her client first. I would highly recommend her.

Mary Lou was the perfect realtor for us. She had the right balance we needed to give us good opinions based on our wishlist but at the same time, she didn’t ever try to pressure us to purchase something based on her feelings. We will always love Mary Lou for helping us get our house.

Hands down the best real estate agent my family and I could have hoped to find. Mary Lou first helped my brother-in-law purchase his home and after hearing how wonderful she made his experience, we knew she was the right agent for us. From day one, we felt that she had our best interests at heart. She worked very hard with my husband and I to find the perfect home for our small family. With the tight budget we had, we knew it would be hard but Mary Lou never gave up on us. She went above and beyond and was always reachable and easy to communicate with. Would recommend her to anyone I know looking to purchase a home.

Mary Lou Mannino was phenomenal to work with right from the very first visit to Mom's home that my brother and I were selling. She was right on with the price for which we should put the house on the market. She was very positive with us that it would sell fast. We were so thankful in having Mary Lou as our Real Estate Agent. We were so relaxed with her handling this sale, especially since our Mom was in he hospital. She was such a pleasure to work with thru the entire process. Thank you again Mary Lou!

Mary Lou was thorough, knowledgeable and patient with our extended search for the perfect home. She always made time for us and was responsive via phone, text and email often getting bak to us within the hour. She got to know us so well that when we finally did buy a home she knew it was right even before we saw it. She's a great agent I recommend her highly.

Mary Lou Mannino made this process of selling our home very pleasant and stress free. This was our second time listing our home. The previous realtor left us feeling very unimportant and ill represented. There were constant issues my husband and I were left to deal with and felt that that realtor could have done more to help us. With Mary Lou ,she was hands on from the start. She began showing our house before we had even formerly signed a contract!! That is commitment! She is very personable, professional ,eager and reassuring through the whole process. Our house was sold in 11 days. We have already recommended her to friends looking to list their homes. The only bad thing is I will miss not seeing her as I have come to look at her as a friend. Sincerely, Monica and Glenn Saldarini

MaryLou Mannino is the hardest working real estate agent out there. She will fight tooth and nail to get her clients what they want and need. She is also a world class person all around. She is kind and patient and very friendly. She truly cares about her clients and treats them as friends. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Mary Lou helped my family sell and buy a home in town. She was fantastic!! Very knowledgeable, helpful, patient and always had our best interest at heart. We spent close to a year looking for a home and she always came with a smile and with helpful tips about every home. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a new home. She is someone you can absolutely trust!

Mary Lou is amazing. She did such a good job helping us line up viewings of apartments and houses we wanted to see and negotiating multiple offers for us to make sure we paid a fair price for the properties we were interested in. She helped us view listings with very short notice, sometimes on the same day we called her about them. We are extremely happy with the house we bought! Thank you, Mary Lou!

When we decided to sell our house and move long-distance, we knew we would go with Mary Lou. Not only is she an excellent communicator and great about responding to us, she knew the market and the area so well. When we priced our house, I was unsure as to how it would play out, but we were on the market less than a week. Clearly, she knew exactly what she was doing. She was helpful when we needed to communicate with the buyer and the buyer's agent, and also gave us lots of excellent advice throughout the process. We'll be buying a new home in our new location within the year, and I'm so sad that Mary Lou is based in New Jersey, otherwise we'd get her again in a heartbeat!

Zeroed right in on a marketing plan - in a lackluster market generated a bidding war with buyers - managed the process through to a great ending at a great price. She is the best!

Mary Lou was a true professional from start to finish. It was a pleasure working with her. She really was a 'jack of all trades' and helped put us in touch with everyone we needed to finish our sale the right way; a painter to spruce up a room, a reputable lawyer to represent our interests, a trustworthy house cleaner to leave it just right for our new owners, etc. She held our hand and guided us through the whole process and made it pain free! Mary Lou treated us like we were her only client when I know she barely has time to sit down! I would definitely recommend Mary Lou to anyone buying or selling a home, she is fair, she is honest and you know she always has your best interests in mind.

Mary Lou not only is an amazing realtor, but she is one of the most caring people I have ever met. It's difficult to downsize once your family is grown, and Mary Lou supported me emotionally through this entire process. During the time when the housing market was difficult for the home owner, Mary Lou found me the perfect buyers in a very very short time. I feel as if she held my hand during every single step involved in the sale of my home... arranging, guiding, explaining everything to and for me, and somehow averting every problem that got in the way. And all with the sweetest smile you will ever see.

Marylou was not only the BEST realtor I've ever used, but she also became my BEST FRIEND AND CONFIDANRT. While selling your home is very traumatic, getting divorced and going through some very serious issues made the situation even tougher. Marylou was there for me EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. She went above and beyond what could have been expected of anyone, and did it with a smile!!!! She was ALWAYS there to lend a helping hand through the entire process, no matter how stressful it might have become for her,she never showed anything but class and compassion. She truly is THE BEST and ONE IN A MILLION!

I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT MARY LOU. AFTER AN UNSUCCESSFUL EXPERIENCE WITH ANOTHER AGENT WHO COULD NOT SELL MY HOUSE IN 6 MONTHS, MARY LOU STEPPED IN AND GOT IT SOLD IN 2 DAYS AND IMMEDIATELY FOUND ME THIS PLACE IN SHADOW LAKE. THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS WONDERFUL. SHE WAS IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH ME DAILY WHICH I NEEDED SINCE I AM A WIDOW AND NEEDED THIS TO BUILD MY CONFIDENCE IN THIS PROCESS. THERE WERE NO CLITCHES AND HERE I AM NOW A HAPPY CAMPER. I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT HER. SHE IS ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS. I HAVE RECOMENDED HER TO MANY AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL CALL HER WHEN THEY NEED ANAGENT. SHE IS A GREAT AGENT AND A GOOD FRIEND.

Mary Lou was a pleasure to work with! From day one she devoted herself to finding the perfect house for my family and I. Her knowledge about the area was key in helping us to determine where we wanted to buy. She was quick to respond to emails and always just a phone call away. She made it her priority to make sure we were happy and kept informed of new listings or changes in the market through the entire process. I would highly recommend Mary Lou to anyone looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable realtor who is willing to give 110% all of the time!

Mary Lou helped me and my husband purchase our first new home as a married couple. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She was very patient with us through the entire processes. She always made sure she was available wether it was through email or telephone. She was very flexible with our schedule. The property that we bought was a bank owned foreclosure. This was not an ordinary sale. We hit bumps around every corner even to the last minute before closing. Throughout all those obstacles Mary Lou fought for us and no matter what came up she was professional, helpful and supportive. She was truly an advocate and we knew she had our back through the entire purchase. I believe that Mary Lou was the reason we got this house. I think if we had went with anyone else we would not have gotten our house. I would recommend her to anybody.

Mary Lou is energetic, ambitious, experienced, professional and skillful in her field. She was easy to relate to, respectful of our needs, and always ALWAYS had our best interest at heart. Being from out of state, we were overwhelmed with the home buying experience. Not knowing anyone and meeting agents, we instantly connected with Mary Lou because she was so resourceful in Monmouth County, and loving to my children. Mary Lou pulled it together for us to have a very quick closing by the demands of the seller, and she did it!!!! No one else could have done that!!! She is amazing, and we are forever grateful for all of her time, and hard work she put in to making an overwhelming experience a positive experience. We love our home and we are so appreciative for Mary Lou.

My husband and I were looking for our first house. We knew nothing about the house buying process and we were pretty overwhelmed. Mary Lou was there for us every step of the way. She helped us find the perfect home, in the perfect town to raise our family. Mary Lou is a wealth of knowledge. She is energetic, professional and one of the kindest and hardest working people I know. She knew what we were looking for and needed in a home better than we did, and she always kept out best interest at heart. She really is amazing

Hands down the best in the business. Mary Lou found us our first home when we had our first child. We were naive first time home buyers and she truly found us a gem! Her experience with contract negotiations and knowledge of the area led us to use her to sell our home when it was time to look for our forever home. We love her upbeat personality and admire her honesty and integrity in this crazy real estate market. What made her invaluable to us during this whole process was her knowledge of Monmouth County real estate and her relationships with other realtors. Mary Lou is highly respected in the real estate community and that was evident by every interaction we had throughout the buying and selling process. She was in constant communication with us and guided and advised us every step of the way. We could not have found the home we did or sold the home we have without her.

I have had the pleasure of knowing MaryLou since she moved to this area 18 years ago. She is SPOT ON with her knowledge of the area, real estate market and analysis of market trends. Her commitment to her clients is a priority. I have used MaryLou for numerous housing and real estate needs and her commitment went above and beyond.
