“We sold our house and bought a new house with Margie six years ago and then again
this past summer. Six years ago, we had two children under the age of two and this
past summer we faced a challenging real estate market and economy. Each of these
presented us with stressful times but in both cases we felt fortunate to have Margie
at our side leading us and taking care of our best interests. She listened,
respected our concerns, and made us feel confident in our choices and decisions. Her
advice was invaluable, comforting, and always in our best interest (even in times
when it may not have been in hers!). She is honest and she provided us with
realistic expectations so that things did work out as we had hoped.
Of particular note, we realized and appreciated the level of
experience, professionalism, and knowledge Margie provided in looking at
houses to buy. She
points out details and demands answers from sellers to questions
that are important
to consider (but can be easily forgotten) before making such a
huge investment. Her
vast experience enables her to offer suggestions about how to make
a house
you are looking at best meet your family’s needs (or point out
that looking for another
house would be best for your needs!). If we have to ever buy
another house, we will
depend on her consultation once again.
After dealing with many other agents through these experiences, we have realized
that Margie stands out greatly among her peers. She will always be our top
recommendation!”

“It
was a unique honor and privilege to work with somebody as competent,
knowledgeable and dedicated as Margie McShane. She quickly took the
time to understand my needs and wants in a home and worked diligently to
accommodate these requests. Her extreme knowledge of the New England
area was reassuring and comforting especially for somebody
like me who was not familiar with the area. Margie was not only
concerned about making sure that me and my family got the best deal and
what we were looking for, she was also very passionate about making sure
the community that we chose was the best fit for me, my wife and our
two daughters. Margie’s unprecedented knowledge of both existing homes
and new construction was impressive. She took the guess work out of the
equation for me. She knew what to ask, when to ask and who to ask in
regards to the various properties that we researched. In the end,
Margie played a pinnacle role in securing the house that I fell in love
with very early on. I can honestly say it was a true pleasure both
professionally and personally to work with Margie. She makes you feel
like part of her family and treats the entire process as if she were
helping one of her own relatives.”

“Buying
a house would not have been possible without the assistance and
expertise of Margie McShane. As first time home buyers we had no idea
how to even begin the process of finding a house, but Margie walked us
through each step in a professional and attentive manner. From the
beginning, she made it clear that we were a top priority and should not
hesitate to contact her by phone or email. Margie always kept a close
eye on new listings and made sure to arrange viewings around our busy
schedules. During each viewing she offered valuable insight and shared
her opinion when solicited, but she ultimately left all the decisions up
to us. We certainly would not have found our house without Margie’s
determination and guidance.
Once
we were ready to make an offer, Margie helped us to choose a starting
point by researching comparable properties in the area. Thanks to her,
we were able to negotiate a fair price and move to the next phase of
signing a Purchase and Sale Agreement. In our case, special
circumstances caused the process to take longer than expected, but
Margie stayed with us every step of the way. Once the closing date was
finally set she made sure every last minute detail was in order, which
really relieved a lot of our stress.
Margie turned our dream of buying a home into a reality. We cannot
overstate what a remarkable job she did. If you are looking to buy or
sell, we highly recommend that you call Margie McShane.”
Sincerely,
Brian & Courtney Selig
“Margie
is a highly ethical realtor who demonstrates and conveys a sincere
desire to meet or exceed her clients’ needs. She is a strong listener,
can recognize and address the diverse requirements of a single client,
and can handle the most sensitive situations with grace, tact, and
poise. Her knowledge and understanding of the local real estate market,
her ability to sell the basis of value and need, and her
resourcefulness during the search process made for a pleasant
experience.
Margie
is a confident real estate professional, is the “voice” of the
marketplace, has a strong sense of community, and brings fresh
perspective to the home buying process. I believe she is an asset to
DeWolfe and brings to life the notion of “one stop and you’re home.”

"As
first-time buyers, we were full of questions and apprehension, and you
did a great job of patiently and thoroughly answering our questions
which made the entire process much more fun and interesting.
We also appreciate the amount of time you spent with us on the
weekends taking us to the large list of towns we had an interest in
seeing. And, we were happy to have you on our side as our buyer’s agent

"We
were very pleased with the professional approach and expedient manner
in which our home was sold. They kept us apprise of the progress with
each showing and always arranged the showings with minimal disruption to
our daily lives.
We also bought our new home with Margie and had a great experience
with this process as well. “One Stop and You’re Home” is all that
needs to be said."

"I
just wanted to say thank-you for the great job you did in marketing and closing the sale on our house in Mansfield.
As you know moving our family to Chicago after 10 years in
Mansfield was a very difficult and stressful situation made worse by my
travel schedule. Your professionalism, dedication to the task, focus
and assistance to my wife exceeded my expectations and set a hard
standard for future real estate agents to meet. I also appreciate the
fact that you kept us current on all activity and were always available
when I needed to speak with you.
Again, many thanks for the great job marketing our home. Please feel free to use me as a reference in the future."
