Featured Realtor: MaryJane Mathew Says Buyers Shouldn't Stress About Finding The 'Perfect' Home

MaryJane Mathew with her husband, Prakash

MaryJane Mathew started her career in real estate to be her own boss. What she didn’t expect that her new job wouldn’t just be about making money — it would be about making her clients’ dreams come true, too.

That’s something that a lot of Realtors thrive on — making a sale that makes memories. And MaryJane is no different. For that reason, she’s our Featured Realtor, sponsored by Jeff Lindigrin of Great Western Home Loans.

Of course, every sale should have a lender that works just as hard to get a great deal as their lender. What has your lender done for you lately? Find out what you’re missing by contacting Jeff Lindigrin with Great Western Home Loans today.
