Mae Valley Home Group at Corner House Realty
We work with buyers and sellers across Howard County, and into Anne Arundel and Baltimore County. Between us we have closed more than 250 transactions — and before real estate, six years on the lending side and a background in VA loans and title work. That matters more than it sounds: most deals that fall apart do not fall apart over the house. They fall apart over financing, title, or an inspection nobody prepared for. We have worked all three of those desks.
Selling Your Home
Pricing is the whole game. Set it right and the market comes to you in the first two weekends; set it wrong and you spend three months chasing it down, arriving in September at the number you could have had in May.
We start with what has actually sold near you in the last ninety days — not what is listed, not what a website estimates. Then we walk the house and tell you which repairs return more than they cost and which ones you should skip. Professional photography, a marketing plan built around your first weekend on market, and a written strategy for how we will handle offers before any come in.
You will hear from us on a set schedule, not when there is news. Silence is the thing sellers hate most, and it is the easiest thing to fix.
Buying a Home
Most buyers start on a listing site and end up frustrated, because the homes worth seeing are gone before they refresh. We would rather start earlier than that — with what you want, what you can comfortably carry monthly, and which areas actually deliver it.
Coming from lending, we will be straight with you about financing before you fall for a house. What a lender approves you for and what you should actually spend are two different numbers, and knowing the gap early keeps you out of a stressful few years.
When you find it, you get someone who has written hundreds of offers in this market and knows what wins without overpaying — and what is worth walking away from.
Meet With Us by Video
Not everyone can get to Catonsville on a Tuesday afternoon. Relocating from out of state, working through a move from another time zone, or just short on daylight — a 60-minute video call covers most first conversations.
Pick a time that works and you will get a calendar invite with a video link. Nothing to prepare. Bring questions.
Already Listing With Us
If you have signed a listing agreement, this is where you fill in the details of your home — the updates you have made, the systems and their ages, what you love about living there. It feeds the MLS listing and the marketing, and the specifics you give us here are usually what a buyer agent quotes back to their client.
Takes about fifteen minutes. Do not worry about polish.
For clients who have already signed a listing agreement.
