Mary Stewart and Heather Stewart Kaznoski work as a pair in Marblehead, and the thing clients keep describing is a handoff-free process: the same two people from pricing through closing, with the trades and specialists already lined up. A December 2025 buyer said they arranged the inspection and appointments with roofers, plumbers and HVAC specialists, and handled details the buyers did not know to worry about. The team says it brings more than 60 years of combined real estate experience, that both have lived in Marblehead for over 47 years, and that they operate under the Compass brokerage. They also claim MLS-based rankings — number one in closed sales in Marblehead and number two in closed sales volume in Swampscott last year. Pricing is where sellers put the credit. A February 2026 seller of a two-family in Salem said the pricing strategy was spot-on and produced multiple offers at and above asking after the open house. A 2021 seller praised recommendations to freshen up a Marblehead home without spending frivolously, and a 2023 seller of an inherited condominium said planning and execution beat both his price and timeline targets. A 2021 reviewer picked out something more unusual: a working grasp of architecture, construction, building materials, codes and design, so that a house gets assessed for what it could be as well as what it is. That reviewer, who said they had never seen a loose end in 35 years of transactions, is one of several long-horizon clients — others describe buying two homes and selling one through the pair. A few things to keep in mind. Twenty-four Google ratings across five years is a modest base, only one of them in the last six months, and there is not a single critical comment anywhere in the record — so there is no counter-example to weigh. Six of the testimonials published on their own site appear word for word as Google reviews, so those are the same clients, not extra ones. And a 2023 reviewer refers to them as the Marblehead Coldwell Banker team, which is where they were before Compass. This is the right call for a Marblehead or Swampscott seller who wants pricing and pre-sale prep handled by people who know the housing stock, and for buyers who want the inspection and trade referrals arranged for them. Before signing, confirm both agents' current Massachusetts licences with the state and ask which brokerage the listing agreement will actually be written under.

We had an outstanding experience working with Heather Stewart Kaznoski and Mary Stewart when we sold our two-family home in Salem, Massachusetts. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. Their communication was excellent throughout the entire process — we always felt informed and supported. They truly understand the local market, and their pricing strategy was spot-on. Following the open house, we received multiple offers "At" and "Above" asking price. Selling a property can be daunting and complicated, with Mary and Heather, the experience was smooth, successful, and stress-free. Heather and Mary make an exceptional team. They are organized, strategic, and genuinely committed to their clients. We are grateful for their hard work and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area.

The teamwork between Heather and Mary was absolutely flawless from the moment we began working with them to find our home. They were instrumental in negotiating a fair and honest price and guided us through every step of the home-buying process. Their support from inspection through closing was incredible—providing recommendations for trusted companies, arranging inspections, and securing appointments with specialists such as roofers, plumbers, and HVAC professionals, and handling details we didn’t even know to worry about. We feel truly welcomed to Marblehead because of such a positive experience. My husband and I would most certainly recommend their services—hands down!

It is with great pleasure and confidence that we recommend Mary and Heather for any real estate needs. Having recently sold our beloved home at 12 Gregory Street, a place filled with 28 years of precious memories, we can attest to the exceptional service and support provided by these outstanding agents. Selling a home is never an easy decision, especially one so close to our hearts. This house was more than just a structure to us; it was where we raised our children, fostered lifelong friendships, and created innumerable cherished moments—from peaceful morning coffees on the back porch to tranquil evenings with a glass of wine on the float. Choosing to part with this haven was a complex and emotional journey. When we began contemplating selling a few years ago, the path seemed daunting. However, Mary and Heather transformed this challenging process into a manageable and even positive experience. Their approach was nothing short of remarkable: always calm, encouraging, and exceptionally capable. Their advice was not just professional but also deeply empathetic, aligning with our emotional state and physical needs throughout the journey. Their expertise shone through in every aspect of the sale, helping us navigate the complexities with ease. They handled the entire process with grace and efficiency. For anyone looking to embark on their real estate journey, be it buying, selling, or simply exploring possibilities, we cannot recommend Mary and Heather highly enough. Their professionalism, coupled with genuine care and understanding, makes them a rare find in the real estate world. Thank you, Mary and Heather, for everything. Rest assured, we will be seeking your expertise again when we return to town!
