“My wife and I entertained retiring to Florida for a couple of years. During that time, we met with the Gillies team to discuss the market climate in our area and became friends with the Gillies family. When we decided to make the move, we listed our house with the Gillies Team. Michael was our primary … point of contact. We worked together to get our home ready to list, using resources provided by the Gillies Team. My wife and I purchased a home in Florida prior to listing so the pressure was on to sell our Virginia home. We listed in mid November, which is not the ideal time to sell. After the Christmas holiday, viewings started to pick up and we ultimately ended up selling our home to a very nice family. My wife and I were very satisfied with the price we got for our home and the assistance we got from Michael, leading to the closing. We are now settling in to our new life in Florida, debt free!

“STOP LOOKING AND GO WITH GILLIES!!! The professionalism, efficiency, and dedication was FAR more than I would have ever expected from a realtor. My home was destroyed in a fire back in Aug '15 and Michael Gillies and his team took care of EVERYTHING even before construction was finished. Having just finished a 24 year career in the Air Force, … I was no longer living in the Stafford area. Because of Michael's constant communication and his unquestionable trust, the entire sale was done without me ever setting foot in Virginia. The personal attention provided by the Gillies team can NOT be found with other realtors! Don't risk this important decision and allow Michael and the Gillies team to sell your home!” Read More ▾

“I bought a home in 2012 with the Gillies Team and had such a great experience when it came time to sell the home they were the only one's I contacted and they did not disappoint. If I'm ever back in the area and looking to buy a home they'll be the first people I call.”

“I did not know Dale Brandon from Adam. I signed up on Dale Brandon’s webpage after reading good reviews online, and I then proceeded to search freely for houses on his site for approximately nine months. All the while, I ignored Dale’s emails, text messages, and phone calls for additional information and notices of open houses, etc. … Thankfully, Dale never gave up and was quite persistent in offering his help and services. Over the course of nine months, I found only two houses that interested me. You see, I had a very particular aesthetic in mind and was seeking a property in Virginia horse and wine country that was still fairly commutable to the District of Columbia. About five months into my search, the first house that I liked sold while I was out of town for an extended period of time due to the death of my father. Finally, after nine months of ignoring Dale, I texted him one night after hours about a second house that I wanted to see in person. I really expected him not to respond at all—I mean, reader, I had ignored every single message from him to that date. Much to my surprise, he responded immediately that night stating we should see the property the very next day. I had to work the next day, but he agreed to meet me after working hours at 8 p.m. When I saw the property, I knew immediately that it was "my" house. After searching and searching, I had a good idea of what I wanted but, as a first time buyer, I really had no clue on how to buy a home or deciding whether that particular property was even a good fit for me. I could tell right away that Dale had my best interests at heart. Dale explained the home buying process clearly and pointed out things in the home that were good and bad. He was overly detailed in everything, which made me feel at ease being a first time buyer. As an attorney, I asked lots of questions and, some times, I would ask the same question multiple times in different ways. Dale was always patient, and he gave concise, consistent answers. The breadth of Dale’s knowledge of the Virginia real estate market is clear. Dale is not some rookie agent that sells real estate as a side job—Dale is the real deal, and I feel very fortunate to have crossed paths with him. I tend to believe that Dale represents the good part of the homebuyer experience that is rarely heard in today’s real estate market. I almost felt bad that Dale spent so much time on my first home when I am sure other purchases/sales would have provided a much larger commission. Regardless, he treated me as if I was his only client and his most important client. I ultimately put in an offer on the house the day after our walkthrough. Although the purchase did not go as smoothly as we had both hoped (none of which was Dale’s fault), Dale was there each step of the way. Dale even admitted that we were facing very unique issues with the purchase. I really believe other realtors would have just given up when things got rough or said let’s find another house. Dale was always reassuring and helpful but also very cautious about the things that we could not control. Dale did not rest though until every single issue was taken care of to his liking. Importantly, Dale was always available for my questions (and paranoia). He would let me know when he was going to be unreachable and always still found a way to communicate with me. I was most impressed at how Dale often worked on my purchase late at night—he would email me at midnight, and even offered to drive multiple towns over to pick up the signed contract from the other realtor, who was having technology problems. I believe the other realtor even had Dale speak directly with her client about something. In this transaction, Dale really did all the work for both sides, but I knew he always had my back. Since I couldn’t sleep through the process anyway, he would often provide me with an update late at night either by email or phone, which I greatly appreciated. Long story short, I got my dream home, but it was not easy. Dale fought like crazy to make it happen and I am eternally grateful. Incidentally, Dale’s charming wife was with him during my first walkthrough. I felt instantly connected to them both. You can just tell they are good people. Dale’s wife, having worked in banking for many years, even helped me understand various loan documents and the nuances of my various loan offers. This is/was clearly above and beyond Dale’s call of duty as my realtor. She helped me because she is a kind person and could see that her knowledge would be useful. I lost my father during my nine month home search; my mom had passed away four years before that. In a lot of ways, Dale and his wife unwittingly were my parental figures during this process. Now, even eight months after my home purchase, Dale still calls and texts periodically to see how everything is going . I highly recommend Dale for your real estate needs. ” Read More ▾

“Michael Gillies did an excellent job selling our home and getting asking price during the "off season".

“We were very nervous about selling our home and trying to find a new one. We considered several realtors and ultimately decided on the Gillies team. We're so glad we did! Michael Gillies handled selling our home and his associate Jeanne Defeo handled the search and purchase of our new home. The main things that Michael really stood out … on when selling the house were 1.) preparation- we got great advice on what areas to focus on when cleaning, organizing, repairing and staging 2.) Price- he was realistic when pricing our home and showed us a detailed forecast of what our profit would be at several possible price points 3.) negotiating- going back and forth with a buyer can be stressful but Michael helped us to remove our emotions from the situation and focus on our goal of selling the home with maximum gain On the buying side Jeanne was a patient expert. My husband and I have very different personalities when it comes to buying- I am not critical enough and tend to think "oh, we can make it work" about every house. He analyzes every detail. Jeanne was great at 1.) Balancing our perspectives and helping us focus on what was really important. 2.) being SO patient in answering our many questions and taking us to see any homes we wanted as many times as we wanted 3.) again- negotiating! We had very interesting sellers to work with and the house we purchased was tenant occupied. She helped us navigate this situation with ease and ultimately brought us to closing in a great position. If I could make a very minor suggestion it would just be regarding the admin fees. In addition to the percentage charged to sell our home there was a nominal fee charged on both the buy side and the sell side. We didn't hear anything about these fees until signing our exclusive representation agreement with the agent. It would have made me feel much better if they had mentioned it much earlier on when we were interviewing agents. Ultimately we would definitely use them again! I just really like having every piece of information up front. Thank you Gillies team!!” Read More ▾

“I bought a house that was listed by Cindy and the Gillies Team in 2013. My wife and I were drawn to the house because of the outstanding marketing her team put together for it. Not only did it have excellent photos but an outstanding video. Three years later I decided it might be time to sell my home … because of a move from the area. Because of my experience with Cindy and respect for her no-nonsense attitude as well as mission accomplishment, I went to her to list it. She told me the truth and discussed my options. Instead of listing my house she provided guidance on renting it out. Because of this, when I do decide to sell I will use Cindy and her team.

We just closed and can I tell you - they were spot on - no surprises - we were fully informed and confident in the process. They know the area, they know the market - they are the best. I was referred to them by our neighbor - we watched their house sit and sit and sit with another agent. When SHE switched to the Gillies team - BAM! Contract in a month. Proof is in the pudding! We are currently house hunting with one of their buying agents, Lisa Anderson. She is absolutely wonderful. I have so much confidence in her. She is the only agent I have worked with that I would trust to find the "right" house for us and write a contract, sight unseen.” Read More ▾

“The Gillies' family was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and full of good ideas. Cindy's recommendation to stage the house was the setup that allowed my house to sell with only 26 days on the market. Mike advised me on what was necessary to pass the home inspection process. Any questions I had were answered with intuitive retrospect and knowledge. I … would highly recommend this family in all future real estate endeavors. ” Read More ▾

“I worked with young Michael Gillies for a year as we tried to find a perfect investment property with enough of what I needed in a home for the time being. This was my first time buying but he always had time for me, always answered his phone or called back the same day. He always took time to … explain in detail all the questions I had even ones pertaining to my loan and other financial issues that were new to me, even though he was not obligated too. I really felt like he was a partner in this and not just a realtor, I had to stop myself at times from talking to him or sharing my thoughts on certain items because he was just my realtor ha-ha. He is an amazing guy that is always looking out for your best interests, always giving you cautionary advice where merited and really just being there for you for the long haul. I have already recommended him to everyone I know is looking. I was referred to him by family and friends who he had helped buy 3 houses for” Read More ▾

“Extremely competent and professional, cool,calm and committed during the entire process, with excellent follow-up..if you have a house to sell you want Cindy, Mike, and Michael working for you.”

“Excellent team to work with! Our house sold super fast and the whole process was easy due to their expert knowledge of the market. We would highly recommend The Gillies Team!”

“Michael is the epitome of a real estate professional. This is the 4th time that I have been through this process and this is the only time that I can unequivocally say that Michael deserves your business and you deserve him! Since we began this process in the Spring of 2011, Michael continually displayed patience, responsiveness, and is … extremely trustworthy. Over the course of many months and many miles, Michael took my wife and I on a tour of Northern Virginia as we looked at homes in 4 different counties and never gave even the slightest hint at being frustrated or disgruntled as little details would knock each contender out of the running. Once we’d selected a property (which happened to be a new build), Michael fought for us with the contractor as we battled through several delays and the contractor’s failure to follow through on promises. In fact, my home inspector told me later that he’d overheard Michael standing firm and demanding that the contractor do the right thing. In the end, Michael saved us over $16,000 by forcing the contractor to follow through on promises initially offered by their sales rep and ensuring they complied with the terms of the contract. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Michael is the a great agent to have in your corner and choosing anyone else could cost you thousands. ” Read More ▾

“We moved to Stafford from California. Michael spent every minute with us when we came out for our house hunting trip. He was amazing and we now live in our dream house! Michael is very professional and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend him and the Gillies Team! They know this area better than anyone and will work tirelessly to … help buy or sell your home! ” Read More ▾

“My husband and I chose Michael after interviewing ten well-reviewed agents in the Stafford, VA area. We were moving to Virginia from California on military orders and had a very small time window in which to look for a home. Prior to our house-hunting trip in February of 2012, Michael agreed to set aside three full days of his … time to help us look for a home that fit our needs. The houses he selected met what we had specified in all areas (price, location, and size being the primary factors we were considering). Ultimately, we decided to purchase a new-construction home and he helped guide us through the negotiation process with a great deal of expertise. Michael is an excellent agent all around, but the most relevant strengths he demonstrated during our home purchasing process were the following: 1) Customer Service: In the process of working with Michael, we learned that we actually had a number of friends who had bought or sold homes through him in the past. All had had excellent experiences and would have recommended him. However, as many clients as he may have, it was easy to feel as though we were his only clients when we were interacting with him. He is flexible in terms of his schedule, quick to return calls and emails, a very good listener when it comes to what the client is looking for, and able to offer guidance and information without being pushy. He has a calm, patient, friendly demeanor that make him easy to get along with, and is ideal for working with individuals who are trying to make an important, impactful decision. 2) New Construction Purchase Support: As I mentioned, we chose to purchase a home that was to-be-built. During this process, there were a number of walk-throughs that are typically only attended by the buyers. Michael showed up to support us at each and every one of those meetings. He made helpful observations about things we would not have otherwise thought to note or consider. There were a few issues that arose where the builder had made changes from the original plan that were not satisfactory to us, and Michael was able to consistently step in to help argue the point or develop a compromise, as appropriate. 3) Professional Contacts: Michael is extremely familiar with the Stafford community and has an excellent reputation here. He also has a number of professional acquaintances to whom he refers for services if you need additional help (e.g., with funding your house, or having work done to it after the purchase). We were initially looking at funding our home purchase through Navy Federal Credit Union, partly because they were offering some good incentives, and partly because I used to work for them and know that they are an exemplary financial institution. However, I was incredibly disappointed with their service in the mortgage arena. They are SLOW to respond, and frankly, appear not to care one way or the other whether one chooses to use them to purchase a home. When we expressed our frustration with NFCU, Michael recommended a local lender named Peter Kalian; he and his team did a fantastic job. With the VA appraisal paperwork being completed literally the DAY OF CLOSING, his team was still able to have everything approved and ready to go. We ended up closing on the house about 3 hours late, instead of days or weeks late. Seeing as how it took them three weeks just to return a phone call, NFCU would never have been able to pull that off. We have now been living in our new home for nearly three months. In that time, Michael has touched base through email to check and see if everything is going smoothly and to offer his support if we need anything. While we are not sure what the future holds in terms of our time in Stafford, I can say with confidence that, should we need to buy or sell a home here in the future, we will be asking Michael Gillies to represent us.” Read More ▾

“We were in a very specific situation, looking for a house from Switzerland. We came in contact with Michael, and this has been a more than wonderful experience. Michael went the extra mile for us (did I say mile? I mean many, many miles), gave us daily updates of what was and what came on the market fitted to … our wishlist. Not knowing the US market, and being 4,000 miles away, it was extremely important to have an realtor that we could trust for the full 100%. Although more than 100% doesn't exist, Michael still managed to exceed our expectations. We had several visits to the area, and Michael always took ample time to show us houses, and with lots of patience explained us the pros and cons. Earlier this year we made a purchase, and the handling of the purchase went very smooth, and even after closing Michael was still available to give us advice and help us when we needed help. Superlatives are not invented yet to describe the feeling of service, commitment and honesty we got from Michael. Big thank you! ” Read More ▾

“Mike Gilles and his entire team are superb realtors. They not only wanted to find me home, they worked diligently to find a home that was even better than I imagined finding within my budget. From start to finish, Mike gave me excellent advice on making an offer on a short sale, he negotiated the sale price effectively, and … he kept my spirits up while wating for the bank to decide on my offer. I happily moved into my new home in July 2011, thanks to the remarkably professional efforts of this Team. I heartily recommend the Gilles Team to you. ” Read More ▾

“As a military family we have made many moves and dealt with numerous real estate agents. If only they were all as knowledgeable and professional as the Gillies team! They did a phenomenal job helping us find the right property, managed the inspections and closing for us, AND provided wonderful resources for us. We highly recommend them!”

“I loved working with them. We were very young for new home buyers and they were so nice and very helpful. Drove us around and only showed houses with the specifications we requested. I look forward to working with them if ever we need to sell or buy again!”

“We unfortunately ended up in a short sale situation due to a job transfer and the Gillies were extremely knowledgeable about the process and worked diligently with the other agent and the bank to push the sale through. They are wonderful to work with!”

“We had the pleasure of working with the Gillies team when we bought our home and then while selling it again two years later. They were fantastic and worked with us when we were on huge time crunches. When we first bought our home, we flew in from another country and looked at 18 homes in pouring down rain … from a hurricane, all in one day. They were all very knowledgeable and made us feel like we were their only priority. As a military family who moves a lot, we wish we could have the Gillies team represent us with every real estate transaction because we know they would have our best interest in mind and that we would be taken care of. We would recommend them to anyone! Thank you Cindy, Mike, and Michael! ” Read More ▾

“The Gillies Team is wonderful! They never grew tired of my constant phone calls. They were there all the way through the closing with a cheerful attitude. The Gillies Team will work until you are happy!”

“Michael Gillies was a very motivated agent. Even with the snow fall of Jan 2010 (and him stepping off a snow covered driveway into a ditch and sinking up to his waist in snow) he still had no complaints about house hunting with me. We managed to look at close to 100 houses in person and many more on paper. … I usually do not refer people/businesses but I refer Michael to anyone I hear talking about buying or selling. He listened to what I wanted, what I wanted to spend and found exactly what I was looking for. It did not matter if it was a snow day for everyone else or a Saturday or Sunday, he was ALWAYS willing to assist me. He earned my business and respect. As a customer and as a friend. 2014 The Gillies team came through again and sold the same house they helped us purchase in 2010. They were just as great working with selling as they were when we bought it. They were dead on market value. The process went smoothly.” Read More ▾
