“One of a kind”
“Realtor Extraordinaire”
“Hands down, the best agent we have ever worked with”
I am proud to say these are just a few ways my clients have described their experience partnering with me as their realtor. The key to my real estate success is my connection to my clients. I have an honest, transparent approach to the client/broker relationship – whether buying or selling – so my clients trust I’m always working in their best interests.
I have been a part of the Allen Tate family as a licensed broker in North Carolina and South Carolina for more than 24 years. As a long-time resident of the Charlotte area, my husband Adam and I have raised our two kids in the Wesley Chapel/Waxhaw area, and live there still with our 2 sweet old rescue dogs. Now empty-nesters, we’re proud of our college kids, Amanda and Garrett, who attend NC State and Carnegie Mellon University, respectively (needless to say, my wardrobe features lots of red, black and white for cheering on both schools!
Whether you’re looking for a starter home, seeking the perfect neighborhood for raising a family, downsizing, or helping an elderly parent manage their next move, I understand home buying and selling is intensely personal and always a major life milestone.
Beyond navigating the complexities of real estate sales, I’m focused and detail-oriented throughout the home search, contract and purchase process. I take pride in always being responsive and hands-on every step of the way; I listen carefully to every client and drive the process to get timely and satisfactory results.
Understanding that it’s more than just buying a house – I help my clients find exactly what they want in their new home. We work together to align their “wish list” – from location, price point, design features, amenities – with properties to suit their needs. I enjoy taking the extra steps to help families who are new to the area, with relocations, short term housing, choosing schools, settling in to their new community and guiding clients to make the best decisions for this major life investment.
As a seller’s agent, I closely monitor local market trends, and understand how to competitively price and market a home to sell quickly. As a skilled negotiator with expertise and extensive history buying and selling in the Charlotte market, I enjoy an outstanding reputation with my clients, and am well-respected among my peers in the real estate industry who appreciate my professionalism and trust my judgement.
I value the long-standing relationships I have with my clients, as well as with other local agents, contractors and professionals who collaborate with me throughout the process to ensure the best and most beneficial experience possible.
It’s always exciting to meet and help transplants to the Charlotte area. Personally I’m proud to say I’m a Wisconsin “Cheesehead” and live my Midwestern values of hard work and integrity every day. In my free time I enjoy boating, paddle-boarding, reading, attending local events such as NASCAR and the Charlotte Symphony, cooking and spending time with her family. During football season you’ll find me cheering on my hometown Carolina Panthers but remain a lifelong fan of the Green Bay Packers.
Giving back to the community is important to me. My volunteer work spans years in nonprofit leadership positions. In particular, I helped to establish and extensively fundraise for my local middle and high school band booster organization, support the Union Symphony Youth Orchestra (USYO) and Charlotte Youth Symphony Orchestra (CYSO), and work with local dog rescue groups.
Staying connected throughout Charlotte enables me to help my clients establish their own roots in the community.

M Edward Simes, Jr
As I stated above.... Mary was the consumate professional and associate. Any questions or issues we may have had were quickly dealt with and resolved. If ever we have the need, we would not hesitate to call on Mary for her professionalism and expertise.
Keith Cederstrom
Mary is very professional, friendly and patient. She worked with us, showed us many wonderful homes and answered all our questions. This is not the first home we’ve sold and bought with Mary. We highly recommend to anyone needing a real estate agent. She’s the best!
Misty and Tom White
Mary is by far the best realtor we have ever had the pleasure to work with! Highly recommend her! The most important thing to note is we trusted her 1000%! She led us through each step of the way. So professional, knowledgeable, patient and thoughtful! What a joy!
Earl Eberts
See comments above. Mary is the best and has worked with our family several times. Her experience and professionalism is outstanding.
Mark and Sylvia Taite
Mary is a 5 star professional. We have done several transactions with her just this year and in every instance, she has been on top of everything. She sees things that need to be addressed even before we do, and we have 30 years plus in the home buying and renting business. She's friendly, prompt, punctual, communicative and helpful. She's available whenever necessary and is very experienced. Very fortunate and happy that we were actually referred to her by our daughter, who is very positive about her too!
Serena Dimopoulos
Mary was exceptional throughout the entire home purchase process. She was proactive in identifying communities and homes that were a good fit for us; patient with our many questions and when we changed our minds; always very responsive despite our three hour time difference; and organized and methodical throughout the inspection process. She also did an exemplary job with negotiations- she was analytical, knowledgable and a strong advocate. Mary went above and beyond in every step of the process. We are relocating from out of state and she continued to help us with the transition well after the sale of the home. I can not say enough wonderful things about Mary or recommend her enough. I am so happy my cousin recommended her to us.
CLIFF POERIO
We met Mary at a house that was recently sold in our neighborhood & invited her to see ours. She worked up a market analysis, we signed mid July 2021 and closed in about 20 days. We were blown away by her devotion to us by walking us through each and every step, answered all of our questions and even suggested how to hang up our clothes in the master closet by color to make it more appealing to a buyer. She also made suggestions on staging etc. She provided names of flooring & window people etc. She went above & beyond to make this a pleasant, seamless and unforgettable experience for us. She was always prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. We will be using her to find us a home as well. Why would you use anyone else ??? !!!!
Robert Adrah
The process of purchasing a home can be difficult at times. Mary was able to walk as through these difficulties and most importantly listened to us. We appreciate all her help. We will highly recommend Mary McCloskey.
Robert
The process of making a home purchase can be challenging at times. Mary was able to walk us through the process and most importantly listened to us. We are grateful for all her help. We will highly recommend Mary McCloskey.
Patti and Steven Hampson
Before listing our home, we wrote down what we thought would be the perfect offer, knowing that it was a long shot. I don’t know how she did it, but Mary made it happen… and then some! Mary is a true gem. She is very knowledgeable, and her supportive nature calmed any anxiety that we had. We couldn’t have dreamed for an easier process. Mary’s support didn’t stop after the offer was accepted. She made sure that we were aware of every step along the way and always looked out for our best interest . We can’t thank Mary enough and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a realtor.
Matthew Dimock
Mary McClosky and Allen Tate are my go to resources for all things real estate. The knowledge and professionalism brought to the negotiations in a volatile market have been extraordinary. I certainly could not navigate the real estate mine field myself, and I am very satisfied with their partnership.
Max Bassett
Moving is never easy, especially when it’s across the country like our move. We were referred to Mary by a family member, and we knew we were going to stick with her from the moment we met her. Mary’s focus is getting to know us on a personal basis, but not too personal. She took time to chat with us about our family situation and our move. She was very open and kind. She then immediately worked to find us as many listings as possible. I’ve never worked with someone so on the ball as Mary. When she says she’s going to do something, she’s going to do it! I feel that I can trust her 100%. I always felt that Mary was on our side. When we did walk-throughs, I didn’t feel like she was just trying to persuade us to buy it, but she was helpful and honest in her opinion of what she would do if she was in our situation. We would recommend Mary to anyone and everyone and will definitely go with her again if/when we need to purchase again.
Matthew Dimock
Mary is by far the most thorough and knowledgeable agent I have ever worked with. She kept in constant contact and provided sound advice that helped us obtain the house we wanted in this very difficult market. You will not be disappointed if you work with Mary.
Greg and Janet McDonald
A very pleasurable experience with a true professional who combined excellent communication and responsiveness with extensive knowledge of the process to proactively define actions as challenges presented themselves. Extremely satisfied and recommend Mary without reservation.
Cassie Barker
Mary was excellent to work with. So grateful for all she did to make the selling process go smooth. We ended up selling remotely and it was so helpful to have someone local that we could trust, someone to stay on top of renovation updates, and all the moving parts of closing.
Kevin & Mary Jardina
Mary did a great job helping us sell and purchase a new home. She was very professional, responsive, good follow-up on questions and one of the best realtors we have had.
Alex and Sarah Humphreville
If we could give Mary 10 stars, we would! We felt so impossibly lucky to work with Mary to purchase our first home. We could not be more grateful for her easy communication style, straightforward approach, and willingness to go above and beyond, truly, to ensure we put the best possible bid together in a fast-paced market. We felt like she understood exactly what we were looking for and didn’t try to show us homes that we outside our range or neighborhood range. We would (and will!) recommend Mary to anyone looking to buy or sell in the wider Charlotte area!
Kevin & Mary Therese Jardina
Mary did a great job selling and finding us a new home in a short period of time. She was very organized and responsive when we had questions. She was focused on the details and numbers to ensure we were getting the best value for our home. She goes above and beyond what a normal realtor needs to do. This is our 8th home purchase and we have to say that Mary was one of our best realtors.
Megan Queliz
My husband and I were first-time homebuyers in a very competitive seller's market. Mary surpassed all of our expectations and made it fun and easy to buy a house. She was extremely responsive and would immediately start researching any property I sent her. We honestly felt like her #1 client, because she always had a sense of urgency for us. She is such a sweet and caring person and she takes your needs to heart and looks out for what's best for you and your family. She even brought my toddler gifts! Even after we bought the house, she went above and beyond to help us fix a couple of issues we had with the house. You can tell she genuinely enjoys helping people and she is awesome with first-time homebuyers. She explained everything to us and was so incredibly patient. I would highly highly recommend her, she's just a genuinely good person.
Taite Properties LLC
Mary is the best real estate agent we have had. She is very thorough, she is very communicative and she sees areas that may need to be corrected before we did. We recommend her highly and will continue to give her our business.
Taite Properties LLC
Mary was professional, thorough, knowledgeable and was in front of all that needed to be done. She communicates well; we never felt like we didn't understand the process. We will definitely be doing more business with her in the future!
George and Damarys
We had the pleasure of working with Mary when we were looking to buy our forever home. Mary has excellent market knowledge, professional integrity and work ethic. She will go above and beyond for you. Coming from out of state we needed guidance with purchasing a re-sale or new construction house. Mary presented us with many options and found us a community that fit our lifestyle. We decided to build our home and with it a few challenges presented themselves but Mary was our champion. She was in constant contact with us and the builder. She helped us advocate our case and ultimately got us where we needed to be. Throughout the process Mary was always there to give us guidance and support. We truly enjoyed and felt so fortunate to have her as our realtor. Our experience was extremely positive, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to family and friends.
Edward Otocka
Mary was probably the best realtor we ever worked with---and we have had 10 homes!
Victor Queliz
We were very fortunate to have Mary on our side. She helped us navigate every facet of the home buying process and was able to find us the right home in a busy market.
Maria Dolcimascolo
Mary explained every step of the process and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I had Mary as a buyer and seller agent. She was very professional and went beyond and above in every situation. I don't think Mary takes one minute for herself. I have referred Mary to my neighbors and will continue to refer Mary. She was just awesome.
Kirit Patel
Mary is most knowledgeable realtor She does job above and beyond belief She makes transection so smooth I wish everybody have agent like her
Adrian & Sofia Montes
Dear Mary, Even though, this is the third time we purchase a new house, we couldn’t have done it without your excellent support and your full understanding of our situation and the challenges and restrictions due to Covid-19. We knew from the beginning that it was going to be very difficult for us to find a new house in such a short period of time, living out of state, with very limited opportunities to travel and to visit different homes and also in a very competitive seller’s market, as it is the case in the Charlotte metropolitan area. Nevertheless, thanks to your knowledge of the area and your tremendous abilities to use all the available tools, databases and technologies, you were able to help us visit the best houses, physically and virtually, and to finally find the best home for us. You were always there and went above and beyond to help us coordinate, negotiate and to perfectly manage every aspect of the purchasing process from the beginning of our house-hunting activities through the closing day. You made it happen without any issues, you are a true professional and we would highly recommend you to anyone looking for the best of the best in the business. Thank you for your patience and understanding, for all your efforts, but most importantly for your kindness and respect, particularly in these difficult times.
Sharon and Marty Harris
Mary is the absolute best! This was our 2nd home sold by Mary and 3rd home purchased! Every time it is a seamless process. She is on top of every detail and one step ahead always. Mary is very intuitive and knows just when to push forward or take a step back. She’s very positive and fun to be around and always professional. Highly recommend!
Steven Brennan
Mary is extremely professional and has an excellent sense of the real estate market. I would recommend her to anyone, either buying or selling.
Jac Lugar
Mary has been great about helping from the very beginning. When we first moved here from Florida, and weren’t quite ready to buy she helped us find a rental and we recently also purchased a home with her! The process was definitely different and we were stuck with some tough bargaining. Mary stayed tough also and helped us get exactly what we were looking for, and continued to help us fight for things we didn’t know we needed to fight for. She kept us in the loop and updated us often when waiting for answers. She’s patient, kind and very professional and even kept us laughing through the process! Even after closing she has continued to help and be a resource for us. Will DEFINITELY be using her again for all of our buying and selling in the future :)
Liliya Andronic
Mary was absolutely terrific! As new homeowners, she expertly guided us. She asked the questions we didn’t even know to ask and made sure every small detail was taken care of. She made this process so easy for us, especially since this was our first time buying a home. She was quick to return calls/emails and followed up with the lenders when needed. We would highly recommend Mary to anyone that needs a realtor.
Carey Fraser & Matt McKinney
My husband and I first engaged Mary as our realtor in the fall of 2019 and instantly knew we were in excellent hands. She was incredibly friendly, organized, and knowledgeable of all things related to selling a house. She had a thorough answer for every question, and a wise recommendation for every concern. After that first meeting, she developed a detailed plan for getting our home ready to list, including coordinating directly with general contractors on our behalf for touch-up work, and enlisting photographers and videographers for high-quality, eye-catching marketing materials. All this hard work paid off, as we received a cash offer within one week of listing. Throughout the process, Mary’s constant communication kept the ball rolling to ensure our plan was on track. Her style was the perfect combination of trusted advisor and goal-driven professional. From day one until the day we closed, we worked directly with her (and not a delegated assistant), and this consistency gave us a lot of comfort. We could not have asked for a more capable agent to shepherd us on our home-selling journey. Mary is the best!
Antonio Raimondo
Where do I start? Mary provides the best service. She is extremely supportive in every way. She helped us sell our home (in one day) and purchase a new one. Our purchase was a new build and she was with us every step of the way. She really knows her stuff and advised us of everything and anything we needed to know and to be aware of. As a new home buyer you don't realize how many little things can go unnoticed without the watchful eye of a realtor. She fought for us when necessary. I highly reccomend Mary to help you sell your existing home or to buy a future one.
Antonio Raimondo
Mary McCloskey, is an outstanding real estate agent and better friend, We wer extremely satisified have her and the Allen Tate firm to work with and would highly recommend both to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home.
Paul Puffpaff
My wife and I spent over a month looking for a home with another realtor with no success. As first time home buyers we thought we just couldn’t have everything we wanted at our price point. After meeting with Mary she found us our home in one weekend. She was so flexible with our schedules and stayed in constant contact. She made our home buying experience easier than it had previously been. We had full faith in Mary and her vast knowledge. Today we are proud homeowners of our dream home and we couldn’t be happier.
MacKayla Olson
Had an amazing experience! It was smooth, easy and fun! Mary was amazing and would highly recommend to anyone!
Toniann & Alex Simes
Would not go to anyone else. Very thorough, caring, went ABOVE & BEYOND what we had expected. Treated us as if we were her only client. Always had the necessary information needed for us whenever it was needed. If we ever buy or sell a house again, I would not ask anyone else for help. There would be no way we could get treated ANY better. Thanks MARY!!
Keisa and Sheldon Crawley
Mary did an amazing job of selling our home and aiding us in purchasing a new home. When she was unavailable she made sure to leave us in the capable hands of Cherri and Mary still checked in. Throughout this process Mary was not simply a realtor, she became a trusted family friend whom our little son loves!
Sheldon Crawley
Mary was an amazing realtor who helped us through the entire process. When she was not immediately available she had another amazing colleague Cherri work with us to help our dreams come true!
E Harrington
Mary was great! Understood our needs and found homes we were not able to find on-line or hadn't considered. She was patient and extremely hospitable. Once we found our home, she was instrumental in getting us to contract and went above and beyond right to closing and afterwards. Thank you Mary!
William Sullins
Mary McCloskey is the absolute best at what she does. She was prompt, professional and there night and day for anything my wife and I needed. As long as I am here I will never use anyone else. Seamless process on her end from start to finish, I was extremely confident that she always did everything in her power to do what was best for us, as buyers. She is honest and to the point, and absolutely knows her stuff!
Nate Sullins
Mary is the worlds greatest realtor. She helped us through the entire process step by step and was there for us anytime we needed her! She was there for us, was honest with us, and truly made the entire process as easy on us as buyers as she could. I am not sure that we would have made it through the process with anyone else, and surely do not want to try.
Terrie Lee
Mary McCloskey is one of the nicest, most professional and hardworking people that I’ve ever met. Mary has gone above and beyond for us and has made the experience of our family moving far from home so much easier. My family will be clients for life..I will definitely recommend Mary to anyone I know who needs a realtor. She is amazing at what she does!! Craig & Terrie Lee

It was a pleasure working with Mary! We are from out of state and I feel like she went above and beyond showing us the different areas along with many, many houses. She took the time to figure out what we wanted and helped with everything! It was also nice that she has so many contacts in the area which helped with getting quick quotes. Thanks again Mary!!!

Rick & Cindy Croffut
Cindy and I want to express how excited we are about our new home that Mary found for us. She went beyond the call of duty to be sure this was a painless process for us. She always communicates expectations and is thinking ahead for us. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone wanting to buy/sell a home and know that you will be glad you used her. Words can't express how many thanks we want to share.
