The Gillach Group is absolutely amazing! We first worked with Mary, based on a strong recommendation from a friend, when we moved to the Boston area 8 years ago. We have previously bought and sold several houses and Mary is definitely the best agent with whom we have ever worked. Mary spent a great deal of time getting to know us and learning about what we wanted in a home. Mary has a commanding knowledge Brookline and the near western suburbs, including an excellent understanding of the local micro-environments within each town. A significant benefit of working with Mary is that she brings her experience and knowledge as an MBA to her work. As potential buyers, Mary helped us to understand the attributes of each property that would be strengths and weaknesses at the time of resale. Her insights into the market, local culture, and property assessment were invaluable to us as we weighed each potential house. We eventually found an amazing home in a neighborhood that was perfect for our family. When it came time to sell our house, we again turned to Mary. As sellers, we worked very closely with Mary's entire team. Her team is highly motivated, competent and very fun to work with. Mary and her team did an outstanding job staging our home and went above and beyond what was expected to help us get our house in shape on a very tight timeline. In addition, Mary did an exceptional job pricing our home; we ended up with multiple offers within the first week that our house was on the market. Once we accepted an offer, Mary's team helped to coordinate all of the final details for the sale as we prepared for our cross-country move. We could not have had a better experience than we had with the Gillach Group. We recommend Mary and her group without reservation! read more

Mary and her team are professionals. They are type of people you want to know, befriend with, and (if you are lucky) help you buy and sell homes. They are trustworthy not just because they are nice, but more importantly because they are competent in what they do. We have bought and sold our condo in Brookline and bought and sold our house in Needham, all through Mary's team. In fact, we trusted Mary's team so much we decided to forego a mid 5 figure tax incentive through a designated relocation company so that we can work through Mary. In the end, what a great decision we have made! Getting Mary to buy and/or sell your home, there is really no smoke and mirror. She is honest and smart - she gets us the top dollar for what we want to sell and top value for what we want to buy. She is hardworking, she knows the market really well and extremely data-driven. She is persuasive yet exceedingly patient. During the last 10 years that Mary was working for us, there was not a single moment that we felt that she just wanted to get the deal done without putting our interest as the top priority. I am a business person, employed as a senior leader for a major Fortune 500 company. I have seen many types of business people. It is not easy to meet a team working as such a cohesive team as Mary's. They are prompt, accommodating, and proactive. It is a joy to have them help us. So many thanks to Mary and her team! While we moved out of the area, we hope that this review will give you many reasons to reach out to this amazing professional and her team. Our best wishes for all your important decisions in buying and selling your homes. read more

Mary Gillach found us our long-term dream house over a 1.5 year search AND sold our condo at the most amazing, over-the-top sale price with a week of going on the market. What more could we ask for? More specifically, Mary knows the Brookline market inside and out and knows how to strategize putting in a strong buy offer in an extremely competitive environment. The house we bought was our 4th attempt at buying a house, and she was in lock-step with us every time, guiding us on all aspects of our offer and negotiation. I wouldn't hear from Mary for weeks because nothing was on the market we would like, but when something matched what we wanted, she would call immediately and get us into the house ASAP. She knew exactly what we were looking for and could predict my reactions before I saw the house. She knows the brokers, lawyers, and loan officers to make things happen quickly. She also has a great data analysis approach to figuring out where the market is and how to best price your place to sell. Her office of brokers are all top-notch as well -- we worked with them in selling, inspecting, and follow-up visits of the properties. I cannot recommend Mary enough for finding the property you want! read more

We just closed on a home of our dreams in Brookline last month, and feel extremely fortunate to have used the Gillach Group as our realtor in this life changing event. Although we were expecting a very stressful experience, the entire process went quite smoothly. This was due in large part to Mary Gillach and her teams combination of expertise, hard work, calm nerves, and optimistic attitude. The whole process moves very fast, and you can easily lose out on a great property without the right people on your side. You really need someone who can move at the speed of light, with confidence, and help you make quick and informed decisions. That is what these guys do! Mary knows the market, knows the numbers, and can read situations very well. We even got our property at below asking price, which is somewhat of a miracle in the Brookline market. We could not have done it without Mary, Myles, and the whole team over there. On top of all of this skill, these people are just incredibly pleasant and fun human beings, and we feel like we have our first friends in the new neighborhood. Thanks a million to the Gillach Group! read more

We found Mary and her team through Zillow and are so happy we chose them to sell our Coolidge Corner condo. We weren't available much of the time, so Mary and her team coordinated most everything for us. The Gillach Group's teamwork is phenomenal - right from the beginning they took care of the planning, staging and contractor visits. Their marketing was high quality and tech savvy. When we received an offer, Mary really excelled in the negotiation and brought both sides together. Then Mary's team continued to be very hands on, always available and very responsive on text, email and phone as they guided us through the rest of the sale process with step by step proactive communication. We knew everything was being taken care of and didn't have to worry about anything. Mary put us in touch with great resources and excellent vendors. The whole sale went smoothly. The Gillach Group is the way to go! We highly recommend Mary and her team and would definitely work with them again in the future. read more

My husband and I were very impressed with Mary and her team. They listened to what we were looking for and short-listed properties that met our (evolving) criteria. One of her team members, James, came with us to every house viewing (even the open houses) and would patiently debrief with us at length. Mary was fantastically knowledgeable and could answer the most random of questions ranging from school quality to home repairs. She would run regression models to help us determine whether the properties we were interested in were priced fairly. We were very impressed with her professionalism and how personable she continues to be. (We received a beautiful house-warming gift from her and she continues to invite us to neighbourhood events including ice skating and hot chocolate later this month.) She has also been very helpful in providing recommendations for local contractors. I can't say enough good things about this team. They are terrific! read more

The Gillach Group adds value to a real estate transaction. Residential real estate deals are growing increasingly complex as key parts include market analysis, listing, staging, home inspection, financial/budget review, Purchase and Sale Agreement negotiation, mortgage financing, final walk-through and closing. Thus, in a competitive real estate market, having a skilled, detail-oriented realtor is a necessity. As a local real estate lawyer, I have had the opportunity to work with Mary Gillach and her team of experts on several real estate transactions. I have found that the Gillach Group works diligently to consistently maximize their clients' interests. Mary and her team provide top-notch marketing, negotiating, analysis and problem-solving advise through each stage of the real estate transaction. Whether buying or selling, I highly recommend the Gillach Group! read more

We began our search for a new home in 2015, and after a pretty disappointing experience with an agent who seemed more interested in getting the sale than helping us find the right place, we re-started the search with Mary's team in 2016. The contrast was evident from the beginning. Mary and her team were extremely professional, and clearly interested in helping us find the best place for our family. We focused our search in Brookline, and Mary and her team helped us navigate the extremely competitive market (for several months) before landing our new condo in a great location, and quickly selling our place in the South End (for quite a bit over asking). We've already passed Mary's information along to several friends and colleagues in the market for a new home, and will be giving her a call again if/when we make our next move. read more

We had a great experience working with Mary and her team. One of the strengths of their group is the fact that she has a team working with her towards the same goals. That means that someone from her team is always in immediate contact and very responsive over email or text. We also felt that Mary prepared us very well to show our own home and tastefully helped to add a few details to make our place more attractive. We had only one weekend of open houses before selling our home and Mary played hardball to get us more than we were hoping for from an offer. We would absolutely recommend Mary and her team. read more

Explaining to them our needs they immediately proceeded to put a list of rentals together that were in line with our specific needs. They escourted us to view all of them until we found the right apartment. A+ for your effort and expertise. We will be using them for sure when we look to purchase a home in the future! I recommend Mary any her staff without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional realty group to help them. read more

We bought a new home through Mary who was the listing broker back in 2014. Everything went smoothly so we used Mary and her team to sell our old home. It was immensely helpful and efficient to work with the same team on both properties as these detailed transactions were occurring simultaneously. We are happy with the price we paid for our new home and the amount we received for our old home. Even better, Mary and her team staged our old home so beautifully that it sold before we had an open house. That was a huge relief! We would definitely use the Gillach group again! read more

They were both constantly available to answer our questions and concerns, and were extremely responsive over phone and email at all times read more

The team is very efficient and thorough that we were able to focus 100% on the move. read more
