MaryEllen Closius

“Marty and Mary Ellen are the best Realtors I've ever deal with. They are very professional from start to finish. I had many challenges as we found out there was a code violation on property that had to be cleared before I could sell. This took almost a year to complete. In that year they had 3 contracts for my property. They were with me the entire year helping me through obtaining closed permits for some areas in home. In my opinion you won't find better Realtors. They work really hard for their commission and they do earn it. You will never regret using them as your realtors.”

“We (my brother and I) bought our first home with the guidance of Maryellen and wow, what a great experience. Being a first time buyer we didn't know what we were doing and thankfully we had Maryellen!!! We never had to worry about anything going unnoticed. We knew all the right questions were being asked and ultimately we got the best place, the one we wanted! We were taken care of from the beginning, all the way up until we got our keys. This process would have been a disaster without her help. THANK YOU!”

“MaryEllen Closius is a true professional and the best real estate agent with whom I have ever worked! She successfully helped us sell a property that had been vacant for many years in a short timeframe, even in a challenging market, while managing various daily obstacles. She accurately priced the property and connected with potential buyers, leading to a quick sale at a fair price. Her ability to handle numerous issues with expertise and tact was impressive. For instance, she effectively managed the approval process with a difficult condominium board and management. As out-of-town sellers, we valued MaryEllen’s willingness to assist with both significant and minor matters throughout the process. She is not only skilled but also a wonderful person, making every interaction enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend her and will encourage others looking to buy or sell real estate in Florida to work with her in the future.”

“On a scale of 1-10, Marty and Mary Ellen were an 11. We were not easy and knew what we wanted for our family home that held a special place in our hearts for an entire generation, and they got it for us. ONLY because of how thorough, realistic and patient they were on every level. We met them, signed the contract and then left town for three months and they handled EVERYTHING. Professionally, kindly and with so much integrity...showing up big and taking care of things one minor crisis at a time, always with their eye on the end goal. Our buyers were not local and if M and ME had not done such a great job with marketing and promotion, the FOR SALE sign would still be on our front lawn. HIRE THEM!”

“Martin and MaryEllen were incredible throughout our whole process. Our buyers didn’t make it easy and they were always there to “clean up” any messes that were made! We were inexperienced (first time) sellers and MaryEllen and Marty made every step of the way easy and effortless. I HIGHLY recommend them when either buying or selling. You’ll be glad you did!”

“I have never worked with someone who went so far above and beyond their obligations . The problems you have solved were thanks to your hard and brilliant work. Anyone else would’ve given up. Thank you and I recommend Martin for any body who wants to be treated like a loved family member. Cheers to the hardest working person in real estate!! Come be taken care of by the best!! Diane H.”

“Maryellen is the best thing that happened to us when we were selling our apartment. She was on top of every detail and she made sure that everything was in order, if a go through all the details my list will go on forever for all the care and professional that Maryellen is. Beside selling our apartment she also help us fiend a new condo and again everything was perfect on the purchase. Thank you Maryellen.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with MaryEllen twice. Both times have been with great results. Nothing but high standards, attention to detail, a human touch during stressful moments…. she gives you her all and is nothing short of the BEST. I highly recommend Martin Hoffman and MaryEllen to anyone either finding a forever home or selling a property. I can guarantee you top of the line attention and results. They are THE BEST!”

“This Real Estate Company is top notch. Maryellen Closius was my agent. She made the sale of my mother's condo a pleasant, painless, effortless transaction. Couldn't ask for a better agent. Thank you so much Maryellen it was truly a pleasure doing business with you. Thank you, Jackie”

“On this scale of one to five stars, there aren't enough stars in the sky to characterize how hard this pair worked to sell a condo for us and what a good job they did. From finding someone to clean out everything in the apartment, clean it, ready it for showing, multiple open houses, handling the advertising, working through a number of contracts, resolving multiple difficulties with the HOA, the list goes on. They knew the market, the area, and the players. They provided a recommendation of a very good lawyer to help. Beginning to end, I couldn't imagine how much harder it would have been to handle this sale without their help.”

“MaryEllen is simply amazing. I gladly will always put my trust in her as my agent. Her efficiency is impeccable and her communication is top notch. She always has my best interest at heart and gives honest and sound advice. I wouldn’t use any other agent in the future.”

“Marty and Mary Ellen are exceptional. \r\nThey are knowledgeable, professional and friendly. They dedicate their time to ensure your sale is seamless. They follow up before and after the sale. I highly recommend them.”

“Very professional and communicative. I would recommend Martin Hoffman to anyone.”

“Our experience working with Marty and MaryEllen was incredible. My wife and I were buying our first home and did not know where to begin. Marty was there for us every step of the way. He has so much patience and explained every detail to us in layman's terms so we could understand everything thoroughly before committing to the largest purchase of our lives! Marty responded right away to all of our calls/texts and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the entire process. He is extremely thorough and you can tell how experienced he is and how much he truly cares about his clients. I plan to recommend Marty and Maryellen to all of our family and friends when they are looking to buy or sell a home. They are truly South Florida real estate experts!”

“Marty and MaryEllen were so efficient in every aspect. Even the buyer’s agent complimented me on the agents I had working for me. And we had a signed contract within a week of listing the property. The real cherry on top is that Marty got us the highest price paid for that unit ever! He is the best! And MaryEllen was amazing support.”

“We have had the pleasure of working with MaryEllen and Marty for 3 different property sales in my family in 2022. Since the first transaction, we learned how diligent, meticulous and knowledgeable they are. We never had to worry about anything sincerely, and eased our stress during each process. Thank you so much for all you did and do !”

“MaryEllen Closius helped me sell my condo. The first offer fell through but with MaryEllen on the job, another offer came quickly and it sold. MaryEllen is very professional and always makes you feel completely at ease. I highly recommend MaryEllen Closius as your next Real Estate Agent . Edith Perez”

“Mary Ellen Closius worked with me and my wife to buy a vacation home in Dania Beach, Florida. She has been an absolute delight to work with and made the process of buying a property out of state so effortless and comfortable. She is very knowledgeable about the neighborhood, showed us around, and helped us to arrive at the new property. Even after closing, she is still helping us with getting things done in the property. She is a fantastic realtor and goes above and beyond to help her clients. We give her our very highest recommendations!”

“Because of Marty's extensive experience and up-to-date knowledge in real state, I sold my home in 6 days, above asking price, and closed in less than a month. I highly recommend his team for all your real estate needs. Thank you, Marty.”

“Marty & Mary Ellen are the most conscientious team you could ever want for your purchase or sale. I’ve used them for two sales & trust them completely. They are extremely professional, compassionate & resourceful, working non stop to get the job done. I highly recommend them!”

“Marty was attentive to our requests and followed up on the many details involved between us and the buyer. He was polite and thorough in his communications and lived up to the recommendation we received from our lawyer who advised us to work with him. I highly recommend Martin Hoffman as an effective real estate broker.”

“Marty was extremely professional with every detail.”

“I have nothing but amazing things to say about MaryEllen and Marty. My wife and I were looking to buy our first home and initially felt lost and overwhelmed by all the information that’s out there. That’s when MaryEllen and Marty helped. They are extremely knowledgeable about the market, especially in South Florida. They navigated us through the entire process, were very patient with us and gave us great advice. They found the perfect home for us and continued to be there for us every step of the way, providing the best guidance, knowledge and support as we found our home, made an offer, had our home inspection, selected home insurance and closed on our home. They’re great at communicating both by phone and email and made staying in contact a breeze. Not only are they experienced and professional, but they’re also very kind and genuine people. We trust them wholeheartedly. I would absolutely recommend them to my friends and family.”

“Mary Ellen Closius worked with us from June 2021 to January 2022 to find a home in Pembroke Pines/Hollywood, FL. It’s a tight market, and a tough market. She was patient, kind, helpful, honest, and knowledgeable. She knew details about neighborhoods that we did not know and helped us to make decisions that would be best for our family. Mary Ellen treated us like family, and even after closing on an amazing home, she is helping us, has been available to us, and continues to treat us with value and respect. She’s a 10/10, is a great realtor, and I absolutely recommend her.”

“Marty Hoffman was absolutely wonderful to work with. Always on top of listings and very efficient in finding what you want.”

“Martin Hoffman (Marty) and MaryEllen Closius are awesome realtors and real pros. As soon as our house listed, we received several offers within the day. They make sure to market your home using the latest technologies and network with other realtors to ensure your home is visible to buyers. You never have to wonder what's going on with the sale process of your home because they keep you informed every step of the way. If and when you are considering buying or selling your home, please consider Marty Hoffman and MaryEllen Closius. You won't be disappointed. Lorena and Dennis Widgeon”

“Martin Hoffman is honest, reliable and did a fantastic job selling our house. Amazing attention to detail and personalized service. He was always in constant communication throughout the selling process.”

“Martin & MaryEllen were amazing. We relocated from New Jersey a month ago, Martin was advising us since before selling our house there. We couldn’t have bought our house in Florida without him. Martin was constantly on our case every step of the way. We felt like they were family by the end of this process. This is the second time we worked with Martin. He sold our condo few years ago. Martin is not only knowledgeable about local real estate market but he is a great businessman and he reads people well. His insights turned out to be invaluable. Thank you Again Martin & MaryEllen. We love you and see you soon.”

“After owning my condo in Hallandale Florida since 1975 I recently decided the time was right to put it up for sale. I live in Chicago so I really had no idea who to call for help but I knew Keyes realty was popular in that area so I called to inquire and was assigned a man named Martin Hoffman. From that moment on I knew I was in good hands. Within 24 hours after signing our agreement we had a fabulous offer. With Martin’s expertise the rest, at least for me, was easy. Martin skillfully led me through the steps working hand in hand until today when we closed and the job was done. Diligent and motivated Martin Hoffman took an inexperienced and uncertain senior citizen and helped me in every way leading me through the processes necessary to not only get the job done but get it done correctly and efficiently. Would I recommend using Martin Hoffman at Keyes Realty in Hollywood Florida to hire as your realtor? I sure would! Never worked with anyone better.”

“Had to sell my elderly aunt's condo in Hollywood, FL . . . during a pandemic . . . from my home in New York. Lucky to have found MaryEllen Closius. She is knowledgeable and professional. She handled the entire sale quickly and with compassion and understanding of the situation. Made everything so easy for me, despite the fact that I could not go down to Florida. I would recommend using MaryEllen in a heartbeat!”

“MaryEllen has represented me in two sales and one purchase in southeast Florida. (As well as finding temporary rental when we first moved to Florida!) Always responsive, professional and easy to work with. She goes above and beyond to ensure a smooth transaction. She truly cares about her clients. I highly recommend this wonderful agent.”

“Mary Ellen made the emotional experience of selling our condo as painless as possible. She gave us practical suggestions about preparing the condo without causing any added stress. We left town on a Thursday and she brought photographers in that afternoon. She added a few touches of her own. The condo went on the market the following Friday and was sold that afternoon! It was easy working with her. She responded to our calls promptly and answered our questions. It was a pleasure to work with her!”

“Mary Ellen is amazing! In the past five years, we bought two houses and sold those same two houses when we again relocated all with Mary Ellen's assistance and guidance. Mary Ellen worked closely with us to truly understand what we were looking for to ensure we didn't waste time looking at properties that were not a good fit. She did such an amazing job, our first home was purchased by my husband before I even arrived in Florida a month after him. She found exactly what we were looking for as a family. When it came time to sell, Mary Ellen went the extra mile to make sure the process worked for us and our large family showing the house and taking offers while we were at a weekend getaway so as to limit the disruption to our lives. Mary Ellen was put in the time to get it done and got us an offer above asking price and continued to support us all the way to close. Finally, we sold our rental home after we relocated back to Texas and simply could not have done so without Mary Ellen. She coordinated with painters, handymen, electricians and more to get the property ready to sell after being 'well-worn' by the previous renters. Without being physically in Florida, Mary Ellen continued to support and guide us so that we understood what needed to be done to get the house sold. She always looked out for our best interest regardless of its impact to her. I truly cannot recommend Mary Ellen enough!”

“MaryEllen, my realtor, took care of me like family. She guided me every step of the way and I always knew she was looking out for me. I could not have navigated the current Realestate market and found my dream home without her.”

“Martin Hoffman and his staff were amazing. He kept us informed every step of the way and responded quickly to any questions that came up.

Most importantly, she goes above and beyond for her clients. I am just so grateful to have been able to work with her. There was literally no stress in buying a property out of state due to her strong work ethic and expertise. Even after the sale she continued to assist us which just blew me away. I give her my highest recommendation, with no reservation.”

“MaryEllen and Marty were the best and most effective realtors anyone could ask for. As I live out of state, they went above and beyond, handling our estate sale, house cleaning and other details that the seller would normally take care of. They found a qualified buyer within a couple of days of going on the market and we closed on the house in one month! Their communication with me every step of the way was excellent.They are definitely five star realtors and I highly recommend them.”

“MaryEllen She help me finally realize my dream of becoming A homeowner. She was persistent and patient and very knowledgeable in her field. She was always going the extra mile. Not only did a had the best realtor I have a friend for life I would recommend her with my eyes close Thank you”

“MaryEllen was the best agent we could’ve possibly worked with doing a destination purchase. She was so conscious of our time as we had to travel to and from our new vacation home. Knowing we were unfamiliar with the area, she would quickly share pros and cons of buildings/units we were looking at. This was enormously helpful as we needed to narrow down our choices to make the best use of our time while there. She made sure all details were covered by all parties so we wouldn’t run into any surprises. MaryEllen was so awesome she took me for a tour of the area to show me just how close we were to everything we had on our wishlist. Even after we have closed, she still replies to me so quickly and is still willing to make trips to our new condo if we need help with something. Now that is something you don’t come by too often these days. She’s amazing and if I ever have the need to purchase in the area again, I’ll be working with her. Top notch!”

“MaryEllen Closius is not only a great realtor, but a wonderful human being. She is professional, respectful and knowledgeable. My phone calls, texts and/or emails were always answered expeditiously. I feel MaryEllen goes above and beyond for her clients.”

“MaryEllen is a consumate professional. She knows the local area extremely well, and she led us smoothly and confidently through the process. She took note of our needs and found us an incredible home that was in our budget range. MaryEllen knows local inspectors and contractors, all of whom speak very highly of her. Homebuying can be very stressful (we have bought many homes over the years), working with MaryEllen was easily the best home buying experience I have ever had.”

“We would highly recommend Maryellen’s expertise in selling your home. After interviewing several agents we chose her and didn’t look back! She not only sold our home quickly and for top dollar, but she made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Her negotiating skills are also top notch. She is the consummate professional, and we want to thank her for everything she did for us. Tina and Mike”

“Marty and Juan are the best. They go above and beyond the call of duty. I would never use anyone else for my real estate transactions”

“Mary Ellen is a wonderful realtor- we had the opportunity to work with her when we sold our house and moved rather suddenly as part of a corporate relocation. We lived in our home for almost 18 years when we were very quickly relocated. From start to finish she listed our house on a Wednesday, showed it once on that Friday, did an open house on Saturday, and then by Sunday we had 6 offers for full price on our home and we were sold! There were challenges with our sale because of the relocation aspect of it, but she is extremely knowledgeable and patient, and I just know that it would not have gone as smooth as it did- even though there were several hiccups (on the other end)! She was patient and respectful, and professional through and through. I highly recommend her for both buying and selling- she works for you, because you are the client, and she genuinely cares for her clients- it shows in the caliber of her dedication and effort. I cannot thank her enough for everything!”

“We have worked with Mary Ellen to purchase two homes - one for our family and another as an investment home. Mary Ellen has been an excellent partner in making sure we found the homes we wanted and worked with the seller's real estate agents to ensure that we received a fair contract for our purchases. Thank you Mary Ellen!”

“My wife and I have now used MaryEllen twice. The first time, we were moving to Florida and my wife was pregnant. We were on a tight time schedule, but MaryEllen found us the right house in a day and was able to get the deal wrapped up, despite some unusual hurdles. Then, when we decided to move again two years later, MaryEllen got the home listed and sold – again despite unforeseen hurdles – faster than we ever could have expected. She's amazing. So, if you're looking to buy a home, I can't recommend MaryEllen enough.”

“Maryellen, in my opinion is a super agent. She went above and beyond for us during our 1 week condo hunt in South Florida. My wife was vacationing down there and literally had 1 week to find us a condo. My wife was pre-approved and determined. She received Maryellen's name from a friend and we credit her entirely for making this sale happen. She graciously accommodated every request my wife made for showings and re-showings. If it wasn't for her knowledge and expertise of the market, her superior follow through skills, and her genuine passion for what she does, our finding the right condo would not have happened. We closed in 1 month! Amazing. She is the real deal and we would recommend Maryellen to anyone looking to buy in South Florida. Completely top notch. Thank you again Maryellen for your endless support through this process.”
