Mary Buchanan has been a professional, full-time REALTORŪ since 1987 specializing in homes throughout San Diego County and particularly in Rancho Santa Fe and the North County Coastal area, including La Jolla. She has extensive experience with beach and oceanfront homes as well as horse ranches.


Mary is a member of the President's Elite Group. She has been in the top 1% of real estate agents nationwide for the past 15 years. She has a total career sales volume in excess of $850 million.


Originally from Canada, Mary came to the United States and settled in Rancho Santa Fe. She has had a unique career path to her current successful position. She came to real estate from a career in real estate syndications, putting together real estate limited partnerships for approximately ten years. Prior to that time, Mary was a Flight Attendant. She still admits to a love for travel but says, with a smile, that she gets to do considerably less of it now.

The mother of two grown sons, Mary enjoys a variety of pastimes including, art and antiques, music, economic and political issues, community volunteering, cooking, entertaining, gardening, and sports.

    "Relationships are very important to me. Having a real estate agent is in some ways like having another family member. Over the past few years that I have dealt with Mary, she has gotten to know my family in a way that has allowed us to improve our lifestyle through our various real estate dealings. Selling and buying homes for my family is a very personal business. Mary has always exhibited the type of concern and sensitivity to the emotions of my various family members that I would only expect out of a relative or very close friend."

    "Mary always acted in the best interest of our needs. When explanation, clarity and professionalism was needed, she was there. Without her tenacity, experience and determination, this sale would not have been consummated. We highly recommend her to all our friends."

    -Bert D. Mann


    "Mary was well prepared, experienced, and grasps a firm understanding of current market conditions. She realizes that price is the most important variable in marketing real estate. In conjunction, Mary is a true professional and has proven to be: creative, punctual, available, a good communicator, a strong negotiator for her client's best interests, and had always followed up even after she had been paid. In addition, Mary is a very charming person and is an absolute pleasure to conduct business with."

    -Kurt D. Meyers


    "Selling and buying a home is not an easy chore. Mary assumed all the responsibility of researching the best mortgage rates, negotiating, etc., etc., etc.. In other words, she made life very easy and pleasant for us by directing us in all aspects of house selling and buying. She is knowledgeable and dedicated to her profession. We have recommended this neat lady to several of our friends and they have been impressed with her business acumen and professionalism as we."
