Mary Beth- Where do I begin? She is a sweet, hard working and determined realtor that you want representing you. We were searching for a home in the Main Line area for several months using another realtor. Days, months and even a year went by and we were unsuccessful. It wasn’t until we started working with Mary Bath Hurtado that this dream of living in the Main Line came true! It’s been a pleasure to recommend her to many friends and to see how they also have found their dream home. If you are determined to find a house, call Mary Beth! She is knowledgeable, caring, dedicated, and passionate…a real winner!

We recently needed to relocate to the Philadelphia area without much knowledge about where we wanted to live or should be looking. Thankfully we got in touch with Mary Beth. She was a huge help and really great to work with. She’s extremely knowledgeable about the area and really helped us narrow down our search. This was also our first house, so she was very helpful in guiding us through the process. We’re very happy with the house we’re in and really thankful we were lucky enough to work with Mary Beth.

Mary Beth and Eliot were fantastic when they represented us in the sale of our home. They were quick to respond to our calls and questions, and they put us at ease when the market didn’t behave exactly as we preferred! In the beginning of the process, they were very helpful in the staging of our home, and their comps were right on. They helped us strike the right balance of patience and aggressiveness, and the end result,after just a few months in a tough market, was a sale price above list. I would not hesitate to recommend Mary Beth and Eliot to my friends and family.

We used Mary Beth Hurtado in the recent purchase our of home in Bala Cynwyd. Not only did she find us the perfect house in the right neighborhood, she helped us get it at a great price. She has a great feel for people, and tremedous knowledge and experience that make her a top-notch realtor in the area. I highly recommend Mary Beth Hurtado to anyone looking to find their dream house in the Main Line.

Mary Beth Hurtado was patient, diligent, readily available, experienced, and knowledgeable. She lives and works on the Main Line and thus is extremely versed on the Main Line properties and real estate culture. She was a great balance between being aggressive and attentive but not too pushy. She listened to us and got to know us and what we were looking for in a house, when it came to price range and style. We would recommend her for somebody looking in the Main Line area. We greatly appreciate all that she did for us throughout the home buying process.
