About Mary Abrams

I am passionate about the Orlando Metro Real Estate Market!  The main key to my success is a direct result of my knowledge and expertise.  And I stay on top of what's happening in the market by tracking the statistics - diligently.  The number one criterion for selecting a real estate professional is that he or she must have specific knowledge of the local market.  Because I am selling a lifestyle, I make it my business to know current market conditions and the properties which are available. 

I obtained the designation of Certified Short Sale Professional recently in order to represent both sellers and buyers in transactions involving properties that are in the pre-foreclosure process.  This Certification enables me to assist my clients with the highest degree of knowledge and confidence in being able to execute a successful transaction, despite distressed circumstances on the part of the seller!  What does this mean for sellers?  What does this mean for buyers?  Visit my special page on short sales benefits to both buyers and sellers.  You've got questions - I've got answers!

Knowing the inventory, both resale and new, allows me to select a collection of properties for a specific client - while allowing my clients to also search on their own.  Take the time to visit my real estate web site www.floridaluxuryhomesandlifestyles.com which is a labor of love providing YOU with very valuable real estate information. 

I am also the founder and owner of www.redesignmyspace.com a home staging company. I offer free home staging services to my listing clients.  I am a Professional Home Stager who can show you how to look at your home "through the eyes of the buyer."  Attention will be given to the various things that can be done to make YOUR HOME more appealing to potential buyers.

You can also learn specific information about one of SW Orlando's most popular communities - Windermere by visiting my Blog www.windermeretoday.com.  Find out why Windermere is the #1 Community in the Entire State of Florida to raise a family!  I personally live in Windermere and can tell you firsthand that it is one of the most peaceful and beautiful locations in Central Florida.  Located SW of downtown Orlando, Windermere offers quiet respite from the urban environment.  Much of the Olde Windermere charm has been preserved as evidenced by the small town feel along Main St.  Shops located on Main St. include designer clothing, home interior decorating accessories, an ice cream and sundae shop, a convenience store, and an Art school for children and adults alike.  Windermere offers easy access to "Restaurant Row" on Sand Lake Road, SW Orlando's premier dining and shopping district.

     Prior to entering the real estate market, I founded and owned Central Florida Lifestyle Magazine, a popular community magazine covering affluent communities in Central Florida.  Through this experience I have became a local expert when it comes to living the Central Florida Lifestyle.  I an accomplished writer who has authored numerous articles on neighborhoods and communities; community leaders; schools; places of worship; charitable organizations; businesses; restaurants; sports and recreation; celebrities; and arts and entertainment venues.  I have also written numerous articles on the topic of Real Estate Investing and Home Staging - check these out at www.redesignmyspace.com.

      I am an active member of the West Orange Chamber of Commerce, the Orlando Regional Realtor Association, the National Association of Realtors, and the Florida Association of Realtors.  I am originally from Buffalo, New York and have lived in Central Florida for close to 10 years.  Sometimes people tell me - "Oh, Buffalo is not part of New York!"  - I insist it is by saying, "Every kitchen has a freezer!"  That's why I love living here - the warmth of the sun and the calming effect of the ocean make Florida a true paradise!
