I’m Mary, a Compass agent with the Take Sunset team. With a love for architecture and design, I bring a fun, down-to-earth approach to helping clients buy + sell homes across LA.

Before becoming an agent in 2011, I worked at architectural firms in New York and Chicago. I bring that design expertise and a deep knowledge of the Los Angeles market to give clients an edge.

As your guide, you’ll always be in capable hands. I know LA’s neighborhoods inside and out—from Eastside enclaves to beachfront communities—and use that insight to help you buy or sell with confidence.

More than an agent, I’m a problem-solver and advocate, known for being responsive, creative, and solutions-focused. My commitment shows in every detail, from tailored marketing plans for sellers to relentless determination in finding the perfect home for buyers.

I’m originally from Minnesota and have called Los Angeles home since 2013. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me hunting down hidden gems across town and exploring with my wife, daughter, and our two dogs.

Some of my favorite things (outside of real estate)

  • Vegan baking

  • Learning & speaking French—toujours en apprentissage.

  • Early morning strength training

  • Spending time in France (and beyond)

TAKE SUNSET

My friend and colleague Rob Kallick founded Take Sunset in 2009. When I moved to Los Angeles, I joined the team, which has built a reputation for its focus on architectural properties in Silver Lake, Los Feliz, the Hollywood Hills, and beyond.

For more than a decade, we’ve ranked among LA’s leading agents, closing over $1 billion in career sales.

When we're not assisting our buyers and sellers in transactions, we get together for happy hour discussions about the market and the occasional team escape room excursion.
