Here are clients’ words about me.
I have bought and sold more houses than I care to admit and I must say that Mary was the most helpful, thorough, and responsible agent I have used. I leave the sale of my house considering Mary a new found friend.
Scott Gamble Boulder foothills home sale
Mary helped me during a busy time of selling and buying homes in Boulder. She and her team worked hard to make my condo shine, prepping with cleaning, staging, and painting, so I could focus on my kids, my job, and my move into my new home which she helped with as well. I was able to get the price I needed in a high interest rate market, and get everything done in a calm way especially during challenges that arose with the buyer.

Mary Hostetter is my beloved realtor in Boulder. She helped me at a time when I needed not just any realtor, but one who could bring sensitivity, ethical professionalism and mastery of managing delicate situations. She helps me manage a family legacy property in Boulder and creates a palpable atmosphere of kindness and thoughtfulness with everyone including the tenants. She finds and works with excellent contractors to project manage and go the extra mile in doing needed improvements to an older apartment building which has been in my family for decades. She will be helping me to sell it in a few years.
She and her husband, Ross Hostetter, navigated a complex estate for me for my brother who passed away in 2022. Ross prepared an analysis of twelve different options to keep or sell my family investment property. They are my ongoing trusted advisors on Boulder real estate and other matters.
When you need not just savvy people helping you, but creative, hardworking, global minded people who hold the bigger picture of life, Mary and Ross go well beyond professional standards. I am also involved with them in several non-profits and I greatly appreciate their commitment to these efforts.
Dr. Marj Britt Boulder apartment complex
In my four decades of experience with real estate professionals, Mary Hostetter stands out as a true gem. One of the top reasons I wholeheartedly recommend Mary is that she is fluidly able to zoom into the minutia of details and zoom out to understand the big picture of economic trends and soulful understandings. With precision and integrity Mary kept me well informed at every stage of purchasing my first home in Boulder, Colorado. Because there were challenging aspects of the transaction, I have experienced first-hand Mary’s impeccable ethical standards and unwavering care for her clients. A bonus of working with Mary is that her husband Ross (a former trial lawyer and mediator who has resolved over 4,000 cases) can step in and lend his skillset if needed.

The marketing materials that Mary put together were stunning and pretty much sold the house quickly with multiple offers. She is very professional and easy to work with, and is knowledgeable about the entire transaction process. She keeps a calm professionalism until the transaction is finalized. I have no hestitation whatsoever to highly recommend Mary.
Joe Martindale Boulder home sale
Mary brings excellent communication and negotiation skills to selling a home in Boulder. She knows her market and how to work with people. She looks for ways to make a win-win deal happen, so it satisfies both seller and buyer. We consider this capacity as a very important skill, if you want to have a smooth transition between selling and buying. We highly recommend Mary as a broker. Always met with kindness, respect and clear communication. Mary helped us update and sell our Boulder home so it could hit top of market for our neighborhood.
Charlotte Juhl Boulder home sale
Mary is one of my favorite colleagues and realtors to work with in a dynamic industry where change is a constant. She helped me sell my townhome right as the market shifted to higher rates. As the first deal fell apart, she helped with consistent marketing and Open Houses to get another deal lined up so I could reach top of market despite the market change. I will miss her greatly as I relocate to the east coast.

Mary did a wonderful job when helping our family find and purchase a home. She was professional and genuinely concerned that we would find a home that fit our needs. It is easy to get a sense that Mary is a kind, caring person who has her clients interests at heart. We would recommend Mary for any family looking for a home.

Mary is an incredible realtor and human being! I’m so grateful for her expertise, intuition, care, patience and smarts. She made every step of the process smooth and we got a home which exceeded our expectations! It was a joy to work with someone who really understood our family and our needs, who was always striving to find the perfect place (and she did!). Mary is a fantastic communicator and keen strategist– she works quickly and efficiently and we always knew where we stood. We got the first home we put an offer in on, and that felt great too. I highly recommend Mary.
Violet Lange Longmont home purchase
Mary is not just a realtor, she is a wise being, who helps hold the many pieces in the puzzle of life. She helped me find a home and get the winning offer, while continuing to negotiate important pieces after we were under contract. She made the process smooth and calm, doing thoughtful things that I wouldn’t expect. I can’t recommend her enough!
Jen Wyler Lafayette home purchase
Mary worked with me over several years to find the perfect home. She was always ready to help me see properties, tweak priorities and eventually find an amazing property that had a multiple offer situation. She immediately befriended the listing broker and was able to learn the best way to submit an offer. We won the offer which made me appreciate how she works behind the scenes to align people to a win-win. Then I had more work to do as the house needed alot of improvements. I hired her to project manage the first phase of changes to my home. She hired and supervised contractors and helped me pick finishes. She graciously invited me stay with her and her husband during a few weeks when the house was torn up. It was not an easy process, yet she was my steady friend and advisor, always pointing out the bigger perspective while helping manage the details. She is a gem who I will always use for my real estate needs.

Mary is wonderful. She was patient and understanding as we searched for a perfect fit for our housing needs. We live out of state, and we traveled a number of times to visit many, many homes until we found the right one. Mary was ALWAYS ready to accommodate us, and make the appropriate plans that often had to be done quickly. Her expertise of the Denver area was essential in narrowing down our choices to find what we were looking for.

Mary went above and beyond when helping me with my search for a new home. During my 2 month long search, we saw dozens of houses, some of which were an hour drive each way, and Mary was always willing to do showings for me. She was knowledgeable about many areas in the Front Range and her attitude was very understanding, positive, and welcoming. She got me thru a multiple offer situation as the winning bid and got me into a beautiful home that I love.
Chris Roth Black Hawk home buyer
Mary has been great to work with! She knows the market and is very insightful and patient. I would definitely work with her again.
Andy Bachman Denver Investor
Mary brings an evolved consciousness to the task of finding the right home. There are considerations that aren’t reflected in the listing … the feel of the place, the fit for the person. She helped me find a house that feels like it’s surrounded by open space, while being right in the midst of a neighborhood and close to town. I couldn’t even articulate that it’s exactly what I need, but she got it. And in addition, she’s a lovely person to spend a day with!

Mary goes overboard in every way. She is completely capable of handling what can be financially, mentally and emotionally challenging territory. She addresses all the issues as they come up with confidence, ease, and speed. Beyond that, she is a joy to be with. She makes me feel quite comfortable throughout the entire process and I’ve done three deals with her now.
