Services for Buyers
Finding Your New Home : Margaret is immersed in the North Shore market and stays on top of the inventory in every price point. She utilizes a number of tools with both online and in person methods to leave no stone unturned in finding you the right fit. After many years living in the cities of both Chicago and Boston, Margaret and her husband made the decision to move to Glenview because they not only loved the area and sense of community but felt the schools were the right fit for their son, who will be in middle school in that district next year. She intimately understands the needs of relocating buyers and is happy to tour you through each community and point you towards resources that have school reports so that you can feel confident you are choosing a home and an environment that works well for your family and lifestyle.
Negotiation and Contract Management : Once you have chosen the perfect home Margaret will negotiate on your behalf to enact the most advantageous deal possible. She is an experienced negotiator in both her own real estate investments and for those of her clients and she will represent you well in that arena. In addition, she plays an active role in guiding the contract to a successful closing. Margaret effectively coordinates communications between attorneys, inspectors, appraisers, mortgage brokers, and both sides to ensure that no detail is missed and that you can focus on the task of moving in and customizing your new home.
