"A Million Stars Are Not Enough!
Never having prior experience selling a house, I had no idea what it would entail. As trustee of my parents' trust, I was tasked with selling their beautiful home at their deaths-an emotionally difficult duty to be sure. Before COVID and interest rate hikes, it may have been an entirely different experience, but between 2023 and 2024, it turned out to be a tremendous challenge. My family and I could never have navigated all of the twists and turns of paperwork, inspections, a pre-sale remodel, beautiful staging, and brilliant marketing without Mary Murphy.
From the time we signed with Mary as our agent to the closing of the sale, her dedication to us and to finding the right buyer was unwavering. Her level of commitment, expertise, professionalism, diligence, determination, and constant communication were extraordinary; her genuine caring, warmth, and sense of humor informed every aspect of our working relationship.
My entire family is indebted to Mary and her team for effecting an excellent sale and making us and the new owners very, very happy." - Jean B.

"Mary will take care of you! I met Mary many years ago when she helped me with a rental property and I was new to the area. Over the years I had a number
of false starts to buying a home but she always dove right in and provided great guidance and market information. When I finally
pulled the trigger Mary was there every step of the way. After seeing numerous homes with Mary and on our own she found the
perfect home for us. We had gotten fatigued by the market but she was constantly looking for the right opportunity for us. Once
we decided to make an offer we were quite unprepared as it happened so fast but thanks to Mary she was able to guide us to
get everything ready in 24 hours! It was truly exceptional. Lots of people can help you buy a home but you’d be hard pressed to
find an agent who will work this closely with you, know the market in so many Bay Area towns, and have this much experience.
To say I recommend Mary is an understatement. She is truly one of best in the business."

Her extensive experience translated to successful real estate transaction for a home with very specific requirements including a short time frame. Mary brought patience, understanding and the highest levels of professionalism to our search and we were able to purchase the perfect home. We have the absolute highest praise for Mary and recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Bay Area - she is the best!" - Colleen R.

"Selling real estate is an art requiring much experience with human behavior, knowledge of the market, and negotiating skills. Preparing the home for sale requires much more than a sign and advertising. This is the second home that Mary has sold for us. Processing all the disclosures, inspections and required documents were skillfully handled in a timely and expeditious manner. Through her commitment to preparation quality, customer focus, and attention to detail, and negotiating skills, we sold our San Mateo home within a week, exceeding our expectations in both time and price. Mary Murphy is truly an honest, trustworthy agent, and we highly recommend her for either selling or buying your home. " - West and Torrey

"Mary and Robert, I just wanted to let both of you know what a pleasure it was working with you on the sale of my Dad’s house. Your incredible energy and determination to get a job done was amazing. I could never have done what you managed to do for me with the ease and attentiveness you both exhibited. It was such a help knowing I had both of you in my corner looking out for the best products at the right price. And when it came time to negotiate the sale, you allowed me to do exactly as I wished, without any pressure about the market price, etc. Again, it was a pleasure working with both of you and I will highly recommend you at any time. Thanks again to both of you!." - Elvira
