Attorney · Broker · CA DRE #01886009

The only agent who can close the deal and defend it.

Attorney Broker Co. represents Bay Area buyers, sellers, and investors across Lafayette, Walnut Creek, Orinda, Moraga, and beyond. Every transaction is backed by legal oversight — contract review, risk assessment, and a courtroom option if it ever comes to that.

Our approach

We invest in your home as if it were ours.

01

We invest time and cash up front — without added fees.

Mediocre realtors collect five-figure paychecks to be middlemen (at best) or barriers (at worst). We invest in homes through renovations, staging, and project management so clients maximize their largest asset. When clients need help fronting renovation costs, we advance that cash at no cost to them. No other Bay Area broker does this.

02

We are not afraid to disrupt the industry.

Competitors charge 2.5–3.5% for clerical work: hiring a photographer, entering form data into the MLS, and watching the property sell itself. That is roughly ten hours of work for $25,000–$75,000+. The past days of 5–6% for posting photos online are over — or at least they should be.

03

Clients should derive tangible value from our services.

Most homes sell online now. Clients can and should expect more from their real-estate agents. We combine broker-level market analytics, attorney-level contract leverage, and owner-operator project management so every engagement creates measurable outcomes.

Helpful, insightful information & guidance. She is an expert in the area of construction.

Mary is a great real estate agent and an amazing person! She helped us find our new home in Walnut Creek. We did not know much about the area and Mary spent a lot of time showing us different neighborhoods. Her experience and knowledge of the local market is why we got an amazing house.

Mary helped me buy a condo as a first-time home buyer. She made the whole process super easy and really helped me every step of the way. She's very prompt in getting back to you, even on weekends, and her legal background made the contract review feel effortless.

Where do I begin on how amazing Mary is!? My experience with my recent home purchase was that of seamlessness and an overall happy experience (rare). She will go to bat for you on what will make you happy.

It is truly my honor to write this review for Mary. She is not just an agent or a professional; she is a deeply kind-hearted person who possesses an absolutely unmatched level of knowledge in real estate matters. I was in the final week of closing when the sellers made a late disclosure that completely stalled the process — every other person I reached out to could offer no solution. Mary spent time reviewing the documents and immediately pointed me to the exact section within the agreement I could use to navigate the situation.

Whether you have basic questions or are in need of in-depth advice for your home, Mary is your answer!! We are so grateful for Mary's help in tackling some gnarly residential zoning issues in Pleasant Hill. She made herself readily available for questions after hours and on weekends; that level of communication with someone of her expertise is truly invaluable.

Mary is an outstanding agent and attorney. This type of agent is the future. Educated, business savvy, and a practicing, licensed attorney. She found me the perfect house in Walnut Creek after years of patient, careful searching, and now after just 5 years, it has almost doubled in value at over $2 million. Your legal experience, deep knowledge of the Bay Area, and design expertise have earned us generational wealth we never could have obtained with our regular jobs.

Mary was absolutely amazing. When it came down to putting in offers, Mary knew exactly how to make our offer shine above the several others we were in competition with. Another thing that made Mary especially valuable is her long experience as a real estate attorney — when a legal question came up during our purchase, Mary gave us super sound legal advice we would have otherwise had to engage an attorney to figure out. That alone saved us thousands of dollars.

Excellent, Competent Service!! When we reached out to Atty. McNeill she spoke to us with candor, grounded in her wealth of knowledge and experience. If you need an expert by your side while navigating your legal matter, no matter how small or complex your situation may be — reach out to Mary.

There was a lot of competition and the odds were stacked against me. I honestly just wanted to put my faith in someone for a very important project and it ended up being her — I have no regrets whatsoever. She's the kind of person who will show up even if she's with a sick kid or dealing with her own life on short notice. At the end of it, it was successful and I look back and think there's no way it would've happened if I had called someone else.
