About Mary Patrella

Originally from Westchester, New York, I developed an early appreciation
for how homes shape the way we live. That curiosity led me to study
communication at Kent State University — where I learned that listening well
builds trust. 

Now serving buyers and sellers across South Carolina and the greater
Charlotte area, I bring organization, responsiveness, and calm guidance to
every transaction. 

Real estate is more than contracts and negotiations — it’s a major life
transition. Whether you’re relocating, purchasing your first home, or preparing
to sell, I focus on clear communication and thoughtful strategy. 

Clients appreciate that I:

• Explain each step of the process clearly

• Stay organized and proactive

• Keep timelines on track

• Prioritize integrity and transparency 

My goal is simple — to make your experience smooth, positive, and
memorable while protecting your best interests. 

When you work with me, you’ll always feel informed, supported, and
confident in your next move.
