About

A broker who remembers
the person behind the purchase

I became a real estate broker in Roseville because I've lived here — raised a family here, watched this community grow, and learned what makes a neighborhood feel like home. That local grounding shows up in everything I do.

As a Broker Associate with GUIDE Real Estate, I bring a level of experience that goes beyond listing and showing. I understand market cycles, neighborhood trajectories, and the financial decisions that sit behind every home search. My clients tell me they appreciate that I listen first and never rush.

Whether you're a first-time buyer in Roseville, a seller looking for the right moment, or an investor evaluating the Sacramento corridor, I approach every relationship with the same standard: treat your goals like my own.

about working together

Mary Lou made what we thought would be a stressful process feel completely manageable. She knew the Roseville market better than we ever could, and her negotiation saved us thousands. We couldn't have asked for a better advocate.

We had been trying to sell our home on our own for months with no real movement. Mary Lou stepped in, priced it right, and had multiple offers within two weeks. Her marketing strategy and calm confidence made all the difference.
