  • “Mary was instrumental in locating a corporate headquarters site for Cardiva and negotiating build-to-suit tenant improvements for a first class medical device manufacturing operation. She knows the commercial real estate market and is a great asset to Silicon Valley clients.”

    — Mac Farnsworth, CFO

  • “Mary has proven to be a vital advisor for Victrio. She located and negotiated a transaction for us at a rate that was well below market. She remains a great resource and continues to help save us valuable time and money. She is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her services to any company looking for a new home in Silicon Valley.”

    — Lisa Guerra, Founder

  • “Mary Wadden is an extraordinarily capable real estate professional. She is patient, thorough and worked extremely well with our management team and Board of Directors to understand our complex and changing requirements. Her insights on the market and her guidance through the negotiations were invaluable and helped us secure a long term lease on an absolutely spectacular piece of property. She went the extra mile, providing connections with the city and press to gain us invaluable publicity and press coverage. I would unconditionally recommend her services.”

    — Nat Mani, President

  • “Mary was exactly what we needed! She found us a number of appropriate spaces to look at, within the range of price and features of we wanted. She knew the ins and outs of the various spaces, landlords, and tenants and how best to negotiate with the landlords. Ultimately she found us a spot that was perfect for what we needed. It only took a few tours, not too short and not too long. She reviewed our lease carefully and aggressively lobbied for our interests, even when the contract language was arcane and beyond our understanding. We’ve recommended her to business colleagues and will user her again — overall, a great job!”

    — Stephen Fraga, CEO

  • “As a venture backed start-up, Mary has been involved with EtaGen since its inception. She is very knowledgeable about what locations to focus on in order to get the best value. She facilitated the entire process including getting us in touch with the right vendors and following up on many of the details that we would have overlooked. We continue to consider her a great resource for all of our real estate needs as we continue to grow.”

    — Adam Simpson, Founder

  • “Mary was such a fun, well-informed, and well-connected broker to be working with in the Silicon Valley. She made my company’s experience finding an office space enjoyable, productive and efficient, always stacking numerous tours throughout the morning, so we could evaluate a number of spaces against each other and really hone in on what was important to us. Not to mention, I think she knows every single person in the Valley! Which made the meetings relaxed, quick, and informative. I would definitely recommend Mary to any company looking for office space in the Bay Area. Not only did she serve as a great broker, but a new friend! You can tell from her energy, conversations, and sense of urgency that she knows what she’s doing, and has her client’s best interests in mind. Thanks again, Mary!!”

    — Chelsey Middlebrook, Managing Director Silicon Valley
