Every morning, Maryland resident ...100-year-old Mary Wykes drives herself to work, not to pass the time, but to continue a decades-long career helping people buy and sell homes. She’s one of the oldest active real estate agents in the country, and her dedication to her work remains as strong as ever.
Wykes didn’t start in real estate until she was 54, after nearly 20 years in federal government service. It was a career shift inspired by her father’s advice to work independently. That guidance led her to earn her real estate license in 1979, and she’s never looked back.
To Wykes, real estate is about more than property—it’s about people. She values the chance to meet new individuals, understand their stories, and help them navigate big life changes.
Mary Wykes is more than a remarkable statistic—she’s a living example of how passion, purpose, and perseverance can lead to a fulfilling, lifelong career.
