A second-generation realtor, Mary grew up in the islands and settled on Orcas to raise her family. A real estate professional since 1993, she is a consistent top producer, demonstrating high proficiency, outstanding contract skill, and attention to detail.

Mary worked in the business and nonprofit worlds for many years and has served on numerous community non-profit boards and committees, applying this business and communications experience to her real estate practice.

As a second-generation Orcas realtor, Marty’s island roots run deep. He attended high school in nearby Anacortes and attended Skagit Valley College prior to receiving his Bachelor’s in Business Administration with a minor in U.S. History from Cal State Northridge. The irresistible draw of the region brought him back to the Northwest, where he settled on Orcas and began his real estate career in 1993. Prior to joining Orcas Island Realty in 2008, Marty served as owner/broker for 11 years at the local John L. Scott office, where he was consistently recognized as one of the company’s top producers, earning multiple awards and honors within the organization.

She has personal experience buying and selling island properties, including overseeing the construction of a home from the ground up.
