Whether you are buying or selling, she will make sure to handle your transaction as if it were for a member of her own family. The thing I like most is that Margaret listens and actually will do her best to find the exact home that you are looking for." - Perry Margouleff 

★★★★★
"Hardworking and honest, Margaret knows the market and is a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended. " - Maurice 

★★★★★
"I have dealt with countless (almost) brokers and agents in a forty year period, personally as a buyer, as a seller and as an attorney on both sides of deals. I wish I had dealt with Margaret Trautmann sooner. In a residential purchase in North Shore Nassau that started just as Coronavirus arrived and with a Brooklyn buyer pregnant with twins and a seller 8000 miles away she has navigated smoothly, calmly, honestly and professionally to a good outcome. I have never written one of these but she is just that outstanding. If you want more detail feel free to reach out." -Edward R Young, Esq.  


★★★★★
"Margaret is amazing! So easy to work with and really helped to make our home buying process a breeze! Highly recommend!! " - Christina 

★★★★★
"Margaret is truly one of the best in the business. She is extremely knowledgeable and works tirelessly for her clients from the beginning of their search to the close of their home. Margaret knows exactly what houses on the market should sell/buy for and will make sure to get her clients the best deal possible." 

★★★★★
"Margaret was a tremendous asset in our home search. From touring homes in the area with us, explaining house value and re-sale potential, and providing us with information about the village and neighborhoods we were interested in, we felt sure that we had the knowledge we needed to make the right decision. Margaret's experience and a wide network of sources enabled her to answer every question we had, and many we didn't know to ask. She also stood up for us during the negotiating process and helped us to navigate a tricky issue on the closing day. Last but not least, her patience and responsiveness through the closing process eased our first-time-homebuyer nerves. Can't recommend her enough!" 

★★★★★
"Margaret was a pleasure to work with. She understood our taste and aesthetic right away and soon after, found us the perfect home. Margaret was our advocate throughout the process and was so professional, kind, and personable. She took the time to get to know our family and has a very warm way about her. We highly recommend Margaret. She is professional, friendly, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market. Margaret will work hard to find you your dream home while making it enjoyable in the process!"
