We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Margaret Banks. We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. When we initially met Margaret, we knew instantly that she was the one for us. She is honest and hands-on and she really helped to take the pressure off of us. Margaret was extremely knowledgeable and patient with my husband and myself. She helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. We highly recommend Ms. Margaret Banks!

I loved working with Margaret and definitely recommend if you want someone who’s knowledgeable and going to find exactly what you are looking for and even save you money. I was so stressed out about the home buying situation, but she eased all of my worries. The best part is she only sent me he’s based on what I was looking for and made a few suggestions that were extremely helpful and still not going over my price limit.
