Lucky to have Mary's expertise, attention to my goals, and excellent communication

Mary is the definition of professional – she is the most competent, courteous, and effective person I have ever worked with in any field. With excellent communication, proactive measures, and thoughtfulness for my goals, Mary and her team guided me through a sale with success. I felt daunted by the prospect of having to sell my elder’s property while living over 2,000 miles away, but Mary didn’t hesitate to support me through the process. Mary and her team ensured I was well-informed and comfortable every step of the way. The positive outcome has been greater than I ever imagined. Mary’s level of expertise combined with her personable disposition made me feel so lucky to have her on my side. This has been an awesome experience–I would hire Mary again in an instant and recommend her with my highest regards!

Mary Murphy is a professional and knowledgable realtor.

Mary Murphy handled the sale of my late sister's home for my mother and me. She was professional and managed the complexities of the sale competently. Mary kept us informed during the transaction and demonstrated solid knowledge of the local market. While the emotional nature of selling a family home made the process challenging, Mary conducted herself appropriately and helped us reach a successful closing. I would recommend her services to others needing a realtor for similar situations.

Top Communicator

Mary exhibited great patience in spending several years helping us search for our next home. Once we were ready to make an offer, her expert market research and advice enabled us to be the top bidder by a narrow margin in a multiple offer situation. We have now closed on our new home. Thanks, Mary, for your diligence and prompt communication with us on our journey toward buying our home.

Mary did a great job!

Mary was very helpful, timely, realistic and professional throughout our home search and purchasing process. We especially appreciated her ability to connect us with appropriate contractors and lenders to help make the deal happen. She has excellent experience and contacts in this community which ultimately proved to be the difference for us.

Exceptional Service & Outstanding Results – Mary Murphy is the Best!

Mary Murphy was an absolute lifesaver in helping my mom and me sell her condo in Redwood City after my father passed away in November. During an incredibly stressful time, Mary was patient, honest, and deeply understanding. I was juggling moving my mom to Colorado and handling countless details, but Mary made the entire selling process as smooth and seamless as possible. Her expertise, dedication, and strategic approach removed so much of the burden from our shoulders and resulted in us selling for over $100K above the asking price! Her hard work and guidance were invaluable, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Mary is the one to call if you’re looking for a real estate agent who truly cares and delivers outstanding results!

Sold above asking!

Mary was our listing agent when we decided to sell our home in Los Altos. She is exactly what you want in a realtor: attentive to detail, organized, knowledgeable about the market, well networked, responsive, creative and hard working. We've worked with other agents in the past to buy and sell homes in the bay area, and she went above and beyond what we expected a realtor to do.  There was not one detail that she missed in getting our home ready for sale. She not only lined up every contractor for updates on the house, she project managed the entire process and ensured that every phase of work was completed on time and within budget.  Having lived there for 25 years, I was amazed by her transformation of our home into an elegant residence that looks like new construction. We received an offer on our home for $400,000 above asking price in a week. To say she is an excellent realtor feels like an understatement; she is a miracle worker. We highly and enthusiastically recommend her!
