Mary Beth Hixon

One of the highlights of my real estate career is meeting and working with many different people in all stages of their lives. Each client relationship is unique and rewarding often leading to long term friendships. Working with the utmost integrity and honesty is extremely important to me. Professionalism and strong organizational skills give me and my clients the personal satisfaction to work closely together through each transaction. I bring positive energy and a smile while helping clients through one of the most emotional and exciting decisions of their lives. Dedicated to providing top-notch service and always striving to bring the local knowledge required to make intelligent recommendations in real estate transactions of any size and complexity are my goals for every client relationship. Along with market knowledge, I have the ability to communicate complex information into everyday easily understandable terms. Professionalism and strong organizational skills give me personal satisfaction and allow me to consistently meet and exceed expectations of my clients throughout the buying and selling process.

EXPERIENCE & EDUCATION:

I have an extensive sales and marketing background, which includes a 13-year Sales and Account development career with American Express Travel Related Services. I had the pleasure of working with principals in the hospitality and luxury retail industries. Responsible for marketing their businesses cooperatively with the American Express brand to expand their presence throughout New Hampshire and Maine. This valuable experience provided me the essential skills to communicate with Real Estate clients and fellow agents to successfully negotiate and execute contracts resulting in successful closed transactions. During my tenure, I served on the board of directors for the New Hampshire Lodging and Restaurant Association working with industry leaders to maintain the integrity of our industry throughout the State. In 2008, I transitioned into Residential Real Estate as a Sales Associate in New Hampshire and Maine. When the opportunity to affiliate with luxury leader Tate & Foss Sotheby's International Realty presented itself, I moved forward with great excitement. I am a graduate of The Ohio State University holding a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration with a major in Marketing.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & PERSONAL LIFE:

A 29-year resident of the Maine and New Hampshire Seacoast, I met my husband Jonathan in Portsmouth, married and raised our two children, Madeline and Thomas, in Eliot, Maine. With our children and dog Lucky, we now live in Rye, NH, where we recently completed construction of our dream home. I am dedicated to the Seacoast efforts of Share Our Strength and a member of Wentworth by the Sea Country Club, New Hampshire Women's Golf Association, Rye Public Library and The Ohio State University Alumni Association. My hobbies include golfing, boating, fitness, skiing, walks on the beach, traveling, and visiting my dear friends and relatives. An avid sports fan, I also enjoy watching and attending sporting events, be it professional or college, with a special interest in competitive gymnastics and diving.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL:

"Now that the dust has settled (literally) on the recent sale of my home in Rye, I feel I must express my deep appreciation for your dedication and professionalism during this process. It was a very difficult decision for me, and you went way beyond what any other Realtor would have done. What could have been a very painful situation for me was made easier by your hard work, loyalty, honesty and understanding. I have recommended you highly to everyone who has asked me about the transaction, and I will continue to do so. You are the best Realtor I could have chosen, and you are good and kind. What more could I have asked?"

"You have been an absolute pleasure to work with and we would be happy to highly recommend you to anyone. Mary Beth I especially would like to thank you for your tender loving care and kindness toward my mom. You are truly the best."
