About Mary-Stewart Regensburg ….

      I wanted to be an architect from the time I was seven years old and could manipulate a ruler to draw floor plans and elevations.  But career paths are often circuitous and mine included the international clinical division of Merck & Co, Inc.; a Middle Eastern division of The Chase Manhattan Bank; and several financial product divisions for Shearson Lehman Brothers.  While with SLB as an Assistant Vice President of National Marketing, I was, oddly enough, given project management for working with the architects on the design of the offices on the 102^nd floor of Two World Trade Center (the height of my career) and as close to architecture as I would ever get in the financial industry.  Eventually, I traded the corporate world for entrepreneurship in the form of Manhattan’s residential real estate.  Every day was a new floor plan --- I finally found my path.

Her Philosophy ….

      Having bought and sold my own homes, I understand the range of emotions involved.  And for each transaction, I remember all that I needed from my real estate agent.

      As a buyer, I was making mental changes and imagining my future as I walked around someone else’s home.  I expected my agent to cooperate with all the other agents; show me all that was available in my price range for my criteria, and to provide me with facts and other useful information.

      As a seller, I was weaning myself from the memories of a valued possession as strangers walked around my home.  I expected my agent to do sales research, coordinate showings and then follow up with the showing agent.

      Of course, as a buyer or a seller, I had financial considerations.  And as a busy person trying to buy or sell, I needed to work with an agent I felt would “keep the ball rolling”.

      Therefore, as a real estate professional, my goal is to provide knowledge, access, marketing skills, cooperation, coordination and a purchase or a sale.
