Mary is positive, hard-working and fun! She is sensitive to family dynamics and sympathetic to the mixed feelings sellers may bring. She is a trustworthy advisor who shares years of local experience and a robust network of helpers with her clients. I learned so much from Mary and her team! Mary sticks with her clients from the initial pitch to the final turnover - she's a class act!

Mary is unbelievable at her craft!! She goes above and beyond with the details and her expertise in real estate! She is at the absolute top of who you would want representing you as a seller or buyer! She is the top dog!!! I would highly recommend Mary to anyone looking to buy or sell.

The best decision we made once we decided to sell our Atherton home was to list it with Mary Gilles. She was an absolute dream to work with. Tireless, efficient, creative and generous, she masterfully took on all of the organizational details during the four months it took to prepare our house to go on the market. Since I, as the owner, had moved to the East Coast, Mary ,and her colleague, Sally Randall, took charge of meeting all the workmen at our home, securing multiple estimates for painting, floor refinishing, even my personal moving costs for shipping a house full of furniture East. She brought the same passion and attention to detail in choosing paint colors, new bathroom and kitchen tiles, new light fixtures and skylight covers as if she were redecorating her own home. Always responsive and patient she helped us see the need to relandscape old portions of our gardens, bringing established hedges and plants from her own house to fill out bare sections of our yard. She even lent several stunning original oil paintings and vases from her personal home to round out the staging of our house. She then secured a very good sales price getting the property sold in less than three weeks. Quite simply, we had no idea how much work was involved in getting the house ready to sell and without Mary onsite daily and bringing her vision of the house at its very best to fruition, it simply would have been impossible. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

We’ve known Mary Gilles for over two decades as a friend and neighbor —but when it came time to sell our property in Menlo Park and find a new one in Atherton, she stepped in as our residential realtor and exceeded all expectations. Mary brought not only deep market knowledge, but also diligence, clear focus, and the rare ability to move things forward with both sensitivity and speed. She managed both transactions seamlessly, allowing us the luxury of not having to stress—which, honestly, felt like a luxury… When it’s time for our next move, we know exactly who we are calling. Thank you, Mary!
