Client Testimonials

★★★★★

Margot is the best agent I have ever had (and I have bought and sold 7 houses).

Margot was absolutely amazing in helping sell my house in Sunset Hill. There were a few complexities in negotiations and the closing process and Margot navigated them perfectly - making sure I understood all the steps involved and being there to quickly resolve questions. She is extremely client focused and maintained a positive attitude no matter what came her way. I highly recommend Margot - she is the best agent I have ever had (and I have bought and sold 7 houses). So glad I got to work with her! – Ann W.

You can count on Margot to be 110% on your side to get you what you want.

Margot was such a fantastic agent to work with. She worked with us on a unique property in Seattle that we were unfamiliar with. She was extremely tenacious in digging into the details, learning up on the property peculiarities, and finding resources for us to understand what we were getting ourselves into. Not only that, she is also extremely patient in the negotiation process and gauged our temperature on how willing we were to spend and bargain. You can count on her to be 110% on your side to get you what you want. And if it fails the first, second or third time, she’s still there with the same vigor to get you your dream place. Go with Margot, you won’t be disappointed :) – S. W.

We weren't in a rush, and Margot respected our pace and our process.

We had a great experience with Margot in buying our house in Seattle. We were downsizing empty nesters looking for a neighborhood that fostered a real sense of community while also being easily walkable and accessible via public transit. So Margot helped us explore many different housing options - from condos to floating homes to single-family homes - in communities all over the city. She was very knowledgeable about the various neighborhoods and the different pricing strategies for each. We were not in a huge rush, and Margot respected our pace and our process. We landed in a great neighborhood, buying a new home for well below asking in a tight market. Margot was particularly helpful post-offer, seeing that the builder addressed all the punch list items. We are very happy with how it all turned out! – Paul D.

★★★★★

What sets Margot apart is her amazing attention to detail.

We recently relocated to Washington State and had the pleasure of working with Margot Wallen on our home purchase. Margot is an experienced, knowledgeable, and highly-personable real estate agent, who worked with us to view and close on a home purchase in Bellevue, WA under a very tight, one-week timeline. She guided us through submitting an offer, an intense price negotiation, a next day home inspection, and ultimate purchase of a home we absolutely love. We are experienced homebuyers and homeowners, and what sets Margot apart is her amazing attention to detail. She advised us on the exceptional quality of the home build, took the time to answer all of our questions, and kept track of every last detail, both pre- and post-sale. Margot also distinguishes herself in that she goes above and beyond for her clients. She facilitated our purchasing some of the furniture in the house from the stager, suggested preferred service providers, and provided insights into our new neighborhood, including favorite restaurants and coffee shops, as well as for other things to see and do in WA state. Margot is a consummate professional, refined communicator, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend Margot to anyone looking to purchase a home. – Eleanor A.

★★★★★

We could always count on Margot for honesty and transparency throughout the process.

Margot was an absolute pleasure and a rockstar of an agent to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable and savvy in all things real estate and she got us up to speed quickly, enabling us to make informed and confident decisions. If she encountered something she hadn’t seen before, she used her expansive network to dig for the answer quickly. We could always count on her honesty and transparency throughout the process; we knew we had a partner on our side! She worked with us at our pace, and we never felt pushed beyond our parameters. Her fast and open communication was on point, and we’ll miss working with her! – Jenny D.

★★★★★

We’ve already recommended Margot several times and don't see ourselves stopping any time soon. 

We couldn't be more thrilled with our decision to go with Margot for our real estate agent! As first-time home buyers, she guided us through the process seamlessly. She answered all our questions, matched our pace, and walked us through the contracts so we felt comfortable before facing the real deal. Her knowledge in the field is unmatched! She gave the best recommendations and we were able to find the perfect lender for our situation. We absolutely love our house and owe Margot everything for helping us find our forever home. We have already recommended her several times to friends and colleagues and don't see ourselves stopping any time soon. Thank you, Margot!  - Amy & David G.

Margot is someone not only you can trust but will also deliver results!

HIGHLY recommend Margot as a realtor/broker. She is incredibly knowledgeable, works at lightning pace to support her clients, and goes the extra mile to coordinate with all necessary parties and track down answers to any questions we had. As a first-time homebuyer, with a lot of uncertainty about the process and lots of questions, Margot made all the difference ensuring a smooth and seamless process. She is someone not only you can trust but will also deliver results! – Ryan B.

★★★★★

I'd love to work with Margot again and would recommend her to friends.

I worked with Margot when buying my first house and found her to be a fantastic partner throughout the process. My search criteria were very broad--I liked a ton of different neighborhoods and was open to condos, houses, and townhouses. I didn't make it particularly easy! But she was very patient and a great thought partner as I considered individual properties. She was also very low pressure, and always reminded me that I had options and could walk away if something wasn't feeling right. And once I selected my home, she helped me through the entire process, including connecting me to inspectors and other relevant professionals. When I go through the home-buying process again, I'd love to work with Margot again and would recommend her to friends. – Rissa D.

★★★★★

I truly would not have wanted to go through this with anyone other than Margot.

Margot was an integral part of my first-time home buyer journey for me. I truly would not have wanted to go through this process with anyone else! Margot made each step approachable, smooth, and fun. She is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to understand my needs, wants, and affordability before suggesting anything. I especially appreciated her willingness to educate me on the actual buying process, everything from contracts to securing a loan, to-dos and don’ts when waiting to finalize the sale. Margot accommodated her schedule to mine, didn’t push me into anything, and made me feel comfortable and excited about this personal milestone. Thank you, Margot! I’m so happy to have a trusted relationship with a super successful and fun realtor! - Kelsey G.

★★★★★

Margot made a complicated process seem easy!

Margot was a fantastic agent for our first home purchase in 2022! We found a place much faster than we expected, and she gave us a crash course in everything we needed to know about the process, negotiations, fees, paperwork, etc. She worked with our schedule, coached us through tough decisions, and connected us with excellent movers, lenders, and other resources. She made a complicated process seem easy! - Destin B.

★★★★★

Margot made the whole process easy and pretty stress free.

Absolutely great experience with Margot buying our first property! Me and my partner were looking at open houses and meeting lots of agents, and Margot stood out to both of us, so we contacted her. She's incredibly knowledgeable, quick, focused, attentive to details, and easy to connect with. She made the whole process easy and pretty stress-free. Highly recommend working with Margot! – V.K.

★★★★★

Margot's professionalism, experience, energy, and customer focus are second to none.

I was referred to Margot via a mutual friend in the industry, and right away we hit it off - Margot ended up being the best agent I could have hoped for, and a true partner in finding the Goldilocks property that was right for me. From the first discovery call, to the sharing of listings that might interest me, to the housing tours (including videos with audio commentary when I couldn't make it), gotchas to look out for, and "congratulations, here are the keys to your new home" celebration, she was my trusted advisor, and a gem to work with every step of the way. Her professionalism, experience, energy, and customer focus are second to none. I couldn't recommend her more, and I hope we work together again! - Cathy C.

★★★★★
Because of Margot, our family has a home we will treasure for many years.
I can say with complete confidence that we wouldn't have been able to buy our dream house without Margot's partnership and advocacy. With her expert guidance, we felt prepared for all of the typical steps of home-buying, and when our process became unexpectedly complex (for reasons beyond all of our control), she was right there with us, helping us navigate the twists and turns with ease, grace and humor. Because of Margot, our family has a home we will treasure for many years. If you're wondering whether to reach out to Margot, don't think twice. Do it! :-) We'd happily work with her again, and we wholeheartedly recommend her. - Liz T.

★★★★★
I would 100% recommend Margot to anyone looking to buy a house.
From the beginning, Margot was set on helping us find the perfect house. She genuinely got to know us and our wants and needs for a home. As first-time home buyers, we had a lot to learn. Margot spent time answering questions, explaining the ins and outs and helped us hone in on our search. She was quick to respond and checked up on us too. When it came to the offer process she was ON IT, and communicated with us at every turn. For something so big and often stressful, we had a lot of fun working with Margot. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house. - Kelsey H.

★★★★★
Margot has incredible attention to detail.
We are so grateful we found Margot to guide us through our first home buying experience! In the midst of a crazy competitive market, she worked with us to (virtually!) find the perfect home, coming up with creative solutions and going above and beyond to make us feel comfortable in the offer process. Margot has incredible attention to detail in everything from documents to the nooks and crannies of a home. We found her to be a trusted partner and advocate, in addition to a joyful, fun, and kind person to work with! She is knowledgeable, quick, and full of life. Thank you so much, Margot!. - Elizabeth M.

★★★★★ 
We could rely on Margot every step of the way.
As a first-time homebuyer, Margot put my boyfriend and me both at ease with the entire process. We bought in a very competitive seller's market, and although the process of house hunting was very challenging, I really appreciated her patience and diligence with us in helping us navigate important decisions. She additionally took a lot of the workload off our plate in the closing process, consistently following up with all parties, to make sure we closed on time. Given the stress that comes with the largest financial decision to date of our lives, the fact that we could rely on her every step of the way made things so much easier. Thank you, Margot! - Jerelyn W.

★★★★★
We look forward to working with Margot again.
My partner and I felt as comfortable as could be as first time home buyers with the guidance and help from Margot. She made the entire process transparent and easy, even as we were first time Seattle shoppers conducting the search remotely. Here's what I enjoyed most about Margot's style: 1) She proactively stayed in touch to ensure we were understanding market trends, 2) She had some out-of-the-box strategies, one of which actually landed us our final home!, and 3) She is fun(ny), respectful and easy to talk to, making every conversation a good time. We look forward to working with Margot again in the future! - Michael B.

★★★★★
Margot was our dream real estate broker!
Margot was our dream real estate broker! Straight up no BS advice all the way through. We went from no mortgage approval to having bought a house in a matter of weeks. Margot got us up to speed on the entire process very quickly and steered us through every twist and turn on the way. We were not looking forward to house hunting in this crazy Seattle-area boom but it was so smooth and enjoyable. Margot found us our dream house in the exact neighborhood we wanted. I have recommended Margot to friends and family and would recommend her to anyone looking for a broker that genuinely cares about the whole customer experience. - Paul B.

★★★★★
The decision to go with her was easy, and it proved to be the best choice.
We absolutely lucked out with Margot hosting an open house for the condo we were looking at. She was super nice, informative, and had great knowledge about the steps we needed to take to make everything happen. The decision to go with her was easy, and it proved to be the best choice. With her guidance, we were able to put together an offer that we were comfortable with and which made the buyers accept it without any haggling. From one day casually thinking about upgrading, to 17 days later owning a great new place. Thanks for everything Margot! - Brian T.

★★★★★
Margot has become such a trusted and wonderful resource to us as we navigate the process of home-ownership and I feel so incredibly grateful that we found her!
"We had the amazingly good fortune of working with Margot to successfully purchase our first home. After a chance meeting at an open house, Margot provided immediate follow-up with all the information I didn't even think to ask for, in a way that was responsive, supportive, informative, and not at all pushy! She immediately felt like an old friend looking out for our best interests and helping connect all the dots and help us think through the biggest decision of our adult lives thus far! When we decided to offer with just hours to spare, she dropped everything to help us put together an offer that would make us competitive...and her guidance helped us become homeowners on our first attempt! Unheard of in the Seattle market! Not only that, once all the ink was signed she didn't vanish. She continues to reach out and help with so many details that are lingering post-close even though her work is technically done. Margot has become such a trusted and wonderful resource to us as we navigate the overwhelming process of home-ownership and I feel so incredibly grateful that we found her!" - Katherine M.

★★★★★
I cannot recommend her enough, we are very lucky to have met her.
"Margot is the perfect real estate agent. She is knowledgeable about all aspects of Seattle real estate, attentive, sharp, and an excellent communicator. We worked with Margot on buying our first house in Seattle and the experience could not have gone better. She always made herself available for our many questions, weeknight house tours, and was instrumental in helping us decide what to include in our offers. We ended up closing on a house that had everything we wanted and for almost $100,000 less than we were expecting to pay. She is also a wonderful person and fun to be around! I cannot recommend her enough, we are very lucky to have met her." - Nima G.

★★★★★
It wouldn't have happened without Margot.
"We met Margot at an open house and expressed interest in the unit. Though we never met before, Margot was warm and responded quickly to help us. The offer deadline was very tight. We were new to the area and didn't know much of the home buying process in Seattle. Margot made it easier for us. She was super organized, sent all the info, and went out of her way to get the answers to the questions even when we didn't think it was possible. She wasn't pushy either and wanted us to be completely comfortable with our decision. She guided us through the whole purchasing process, reviewed all the documents, pointed out the details, and followed up on every question we had. The closing went very smoothly. It wouldn't have happened without Margot. We truly enjoyed working with her and highly recommended her for anyone who is looking to buy in this very competitive market." - Cherry Z.

★★★★★
Margot is incredible at listening and going after what you want in a property.
"Right from the get-go meeting Margot, it was an incredible pleasure building a friendly relationship with her. Margot is incredible at listening and understanding and going after what you want and desire in a property. I totally felt her sincerity and passion for what she does. Really feel like we have created a friendship that will last for years. Although it took us a few places to finally land our dream home, Margot is tops in my book for being an incredible real estate agent. Margot was even very taken by my story of fighting cancer as this was one of our motivating factors in picking a place. She was very moved and supportive of my fight against cancer also." - Jeff H.

★★★★★
I highly recommend her.
"Margot Wallen is an amazing realtor! She was professional, proactive, and extremely organized in helping me find my new home. I have recently purchased my new condo and love it. I highly recommend her." - Cindy A.
