My husband and I found our dream house with Magali’s help. Even more impressive than her knowledge of the market was her ability to help us navigate what ended up being a very tricky deal. We feel like, thanks to her, we got the best possible purchase price as well as the greatest possible credits for items we found on our inspections. Further, our purchase required court approval, a challenging process which Magali made as painless as possible. We’d recommend her whole-heartedly.

My wife and I were lucky enough to have Magali guide us through the purchase and sale of our first home and the purchase of our second, and should we ever move again, there is no other realtor we would call. I've never seen anyone in any field be so hard-working, so knowledgeable, so prepared and so unflappable. I am extremely grateful my wife and I had Magali representing us and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.

I wanted to drop you a note and personally thank you again for the outstanding work on the sale of our home. I cannot believe in the over the past few years we have worked on six successful transactions. Throughout each transaction, I have found you to be an intelligent, detail orientated, competent professional, who provided me with direction, especially when negotiation was rather difficult. Your professional attitude and keen insight assisted us to "close" the deal, especially during these difficult financial times. Magali, quite candidly, we value most your number one concern, is to protect your clients. Thank you. We trust you implicitly, and I know our paths will cross again and again, in the future.

Magali speaks many languages including “builder-speak, buyer-speak and lender-speak”. She was our most valuable player in the two projects we did together As a developer, it is critical to us that our sales representative understands all the complexities and challenges of closing multiple units in a very compressed time period. Magali has proven she can seamlessly coordinate the buyers, our construction people, multiple lenders, escrows and even the movers!

Magali and I met as a result of the passing of a very dear mutual friend. She helped him find and buy his first home. He always had wonderful things to say about Magali, specifically how professional and knowledgeable she was about the real estate market and how easy she made the process. Naturally, I reached out to her for help with the sale of his home. During the listing meeting it became clear to me that all the wonderful things my friend had told me about Magali were indeed true.
Magali came thoroughly prepared to discuss her qualifications, the current real estate market, including recent sales, pending sales and current listings. She made it very easy to arrive at a listing price for the home. She made several recommendations to make the home more marketable, including the staging of certain rooms, painting and taking care of various repairs. She presented a marketing plan which was implemented and resulted in two offers to purchase the home within the first week after the first open house. This was quite remarkable considering the somewhat lukewarm current real estate market.
I have worked with many real estate agents and brokers over the years in various parts of the US, including New York, Chicago, St. Louis and Omaha. In my opinion Magali is the “best of the best.” She is the consummate professional.
Magali identified every potential issue at the start of the process and suggested how to resolve those issues. Nothing was left to chance. She constantly followed up on every step of the process. She kept me up to date on what was taking place. I never had to call her to find out what was going on. She called me. With Magali there was never any doubt that the transaction was going to close.
Magali was caring, compassionate and empathetic during this difficult time. She was also very direct and persuasive when it was necessary. These are qualities and skills which, in my opinion, make her an outstanding real estate professional. I would recommend her to anyone requiring her services without any reservation.
On a personal note, I will never be able to thank Magali enough for the wonderful job she did for our dear friend.

So… we thought we knew better! After working with you on several transactions throughout the last 15 years, we decided to give a relative an opportunity to assist us with the sale of our home. Six months later, we were still the owner of our house.
Since we had to sell our property to purchase our next home, we were stuck. With our tail between our legs, we called you. You immediately made us feel better. You made a few suggestions on how to emphasize the positive elements in our home. You ensured that the photographer took the pictures you wanted so he could capture the essence of our home and the virtual tour looked indeed amazing.
We found a buyer, but in this unpredictable market, the lender really made the transaction stressful. The entire time you repeated these words to us: “as long as the buyer continues to act as a buyer, this transaction will close”…. And it finally did!
James and I would like to thank you, from the bottom of our heart, for always thinking ahead, removing the hurdles before they became real problems, for keeping us in touch each and every day (even when there was nothing to report) and for protecting us by insisting that we disclose items we did not know were required to be shared with the buyers… and finally for your honesty and incredible integrity.
Marianne and James

Magali is a true professional in the real estate field! Magali's professionalism and her commitment to customer service is without exception the finest in the industry. Magali's personal assistance and follow through with her client assures that each client has the customer service and satisfaction at all levels. As an escrow professional her commitment to that professionalism and her readiness to assist in assuring that the closing is smooth allows for few mishaps in an otherwise complex transaction. I look forward to each transaction when Magali is one of the agents.
