Get to Know Me

Mary enjoys an exceptional reputation and is known for being considerate, direct, and trustworthy. Her clients will tell you that she goes out of her way to identify and adjust to their needs and provide excellent customer service. Listen to what her clients Wes and Torrey said about her.
 
"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 Through her commitment to preparation quality, customer focus, 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."

Mary grew up in London and spent several years teaching at Winston Churchill Secondary School in Kent, England. Mary’s interest in real estate began soon after she moved to California. She jumped right in at the deep end at a time of high interest rates and a challenging real estate market learning to put deals together under adverse conditions giving her a wealth of knowledge and experience to bring to her clients. She has served as President, Executive Secretary, New Member Chair, and Communications Chair, for Burlingame Rotary Club. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for Palcare, a non-profit 501(c)(3) childcare center located in Burlingame. She appreciates and enjoys all the cities and towns of the Bay Area and what they have to offer.

Mary Murphy

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. Verified by RateMyAgent.

Relocating from Boston, we had a week to buy a house in a ridiculously crazy market and we could not have done it without them.

Mary Murphy

A pleasure to work with. They had incredible local knowledge and their network really helped us close on our house in this very competitive market.

Mary Murphy

They are extremely well networked and can quickly recommend someone for pretty much anything- whether it is a home mortgage broker, home inspector, or contractor.

Mary Murphy

Their pricing advice on our house was spot on, and they provided good data on comparable properties in the area. They are an excellent team, and very professional.

Mary Murphy

Thank you so much for all of your help in making things smooth and helping us jump onto the opportunity when it was available and for being supportive of us throughout.

Mary Murphy

From the moment I interviewed them I was very impressed by their professionalism and “Team Approach.” Their overall knowledge, experience, and communication are second to none.

Mary Murphy

Mary did an amazing job getting the house ready for sale. Also, the photographs and marketing materials were top-notch. I believe these materials were key to generating interest in our property.
