About Mary Houston

Mary Houston is a trusted real estate advisor serving clients from Cleveland to Catawba Island, aligned with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services.

Mary began her real estate career with Howard Hanna | Smythe Cramer in 2002, later joined RE/MAX in 2008, and in 2016 opened her own brokerage — a decision that shaped her deeply independent, client-centered approach to real estate. After years of leading her own firm, she chose to align with Howard Hanna to give her clients the best of both worlds: boutique-level service paired with the marketing power, reach, and resources of one of the nation’s most respected real estate companies.

With decades of experience across many market cycles, Mary is known for her steady presence, deep market knowledge, and strong, thoughtful negotiation. She helps clients make confident decisions by focusing on what matters most: preparation, market positioning, exposure, and negotiation. Mary is a trusted real estate advisor who listens carefully, speaks honestly, and leads with integrity. She is present, accessible, and fully invested from the first conversation to the final closing.

As an Associate Broker, Mary works hands-on with every client, ensuring no detail is overlooked and every decision is informed. Her role is to simplify what can feel complex, advocate fiercely for her clients, and create an experience that feels steady, supported, and successful from start to finish.

At its heart, Mary believes real estate is more than a property — it’s a home, a transition, and a moment in life that deserves care, clarity, and thoughtful guidance. Her work is about helping people move forward with confidence, knowing they are guided by someone who truly understands both the market and the moment.
