Mary Amodeo HELPS YOU MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Welcome to my Website

Thank you for your interest in me and Coldwell Banker Prime Properties, as I think the company and I make a great team! Perhaps you are on my website because you are considering purchasing or selling a home. This is, no doubt, one of the biggest and most important decisions you will ever make. I work tirelessly for my clients as they search for the "perfect for them" home, or when they want to sell their current home. I navigate my clients through the ins and outs of real estate transactions, making the work on their end minimal. You won't find a realtor more committed to customer service. To the table I bring an unmatched sense of professionalism, a strong work ethic, and a willingness to go above and beyond to get the results you are looking for. All of this, along with a good sense of humor, will make even the most difficult transactions seem smooth. I look forward to working 

Personal/Professional Background

I have always been fascinated with houses ever since I was a little girl, and I always noticed more things about them than most children my age. To this day, I remember every detail of my girlhood home, including the pull-down ironing board tucked into the paneled kitchen wall. The floral print cover, the scratches, the creaking sound it made as my mother pulled it down to iron my clothes. Insert Miranda Lambert's song "The House That Built Me." I believe this is where it all began.

I worked in higher education for 17 years before staying home full-time with my three daughters. I was an Assistant Director of Admissions at Wells College, an Admissions Counselor at Skidmore College and later an Academic Advisor for Liberal Arts at Excelsior College. I loved my career at that time, but once our third daughter was born, it was time to stay home and focus solely on my family, a decision I'll never regret.

During this time, I watched the market closely and got excited when friends and family bought homes.  I even told a friend about a house I'd seen, and after looking at it twice, she bought it!  At that point, I realized it was time for me to get down to business! However, there were a few hurdles along the way.

In my twenties, my mother passed away after a brief and courageous battle with cancer. A year later, my siblings and I sold our childhood home. My fascination with houses grew. In the coming years, I got married, bought a house, and started a family. All the while, I was thinking about real estate and that someday I'd like to be a realtor.

I convinced myself I couldn't do it. The mind games I played. My penchant for real estate was growing by the day, but another roadblock presented itself. This roadblock was not a made-up excuse like the others, though. My sister was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, which almost crushed me. My energy and focus were where they needed to be for the next 5 years until she passed away in early 2013.

I became licensed later that year and have never looked back. If I can start a new career at age 48, so can you! My business has grown exponentially, and I finished 2025 having helped more families than any other year. I am ranked in the top 100 realtors (specifically #73!) in the Capital Region out of approximately 4,000, and am honored annually as a multi-million dollar salesperson by the Women's Council of Realtors. At Coldwell Banker Prime Properties, I am in the top 2% of listings sold, buyer sales, and total closed sales.
