Margaret Mikkelsen - Marx-Bensdorf Realtors

I cannot say enough amazing things about Margaret. From day one, even before we were officially signed with her, she was beyond helpful, discussing different scenarios and options with us to formulate a game plan. Margaret made herself available at a moment's notice for multiple showings, as well as both of our inspections. We were first time home buyers that had a lot to learn. Margaret never made us feel incompetent and never pushed anything, in any aspect, on us. She is extremely intelligent and phenomenally competent in her trade. We were always given thoughtful, thorough answers. My husband is a construction worker of twenty-one years. He couldn't believe the details of things Margaret knew in regards to the inspection/structure aspect of homes. Not only does Margaret go above and beyond, she truly has such a fun personality. Not stiff, not fake friendly, just authentically her- and she's quite funny. It almost felt like hanging out with a friend when we were looking at houses. On top of everything else, she anticipated needs before they ever even had a chance to surface. We will only deal with Margaret in the future! We trust her immensely and feel like she was the perfect guide on our home buying process.

Margaret is the expert you need to sell or buy your MCM home. She listens to you , plans, adjusts and improves your home’s characteristics. She has the research abilities to present your home to the people who most need to buy it. Margaret can explain any question and will manage many selling details so you don’t worry . She is persistent and patient as she makes your home the desirable subject of buyer’s conversations. Margaret is who you need especially if you have a unique home.

I have bought and sold many homes over the years and practiced as a real estate closing attorney for a decade, and I can say without hesitation that I have never worked with an agent as attentive, knowledgeable, and EFFECTIVE as Margaret. Choosing her as my real estate agent was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My home previously sat on the market for five months without selling. After taking it off the market, I re-listed with Margaret and we built a clear plan together. The difference was immediate. We had so many first-week showings that I lost count, and were under contract within 10 days. This would not have happened without her. Margaret is not an ordinary real estate agent. Heck, she’s miles ahead of even good agents. She does far more than manage a listing. She truly partners with you to sell your home. She invests her own time, energy, and resources, listens closely, and works alongside you every step of the way. Her communication is outstanding, and I trusted her judgment completely. Margaret has set the standard by which I will measure every agent I work with in the future. (And if it was not for me moving out of state, she would be the only agent I ever used again.) She is that good. I recommend her without hesitation to anyone who wants to see what it’s like to work with a star real estate agent who is fully committed and genuinely invested in their client’s success.

I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Margaret. She has been by my side for the past four years and was so patient and supportive through every step of the process. As a first-time homebuyer, I had lots of questions and uncertainty, but I knew she would never let me buy the wrong house. She was truly my advocate and never just trying to make a sale. Her knowledge and experience were invaluable, and she used them to guide me with honesty, care, and patience the whole way through. She always made me feel confident and cared for, answering every question and easing every worry. I could not have done this without her. Working with Margaret never felt transactional. She has become more like a friend, and she made the entire experience enjoyable. I am so grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who truly cares about their clients.

The best decision we made in the process of selling our home was choosing Margaret to be our agent! From the first meeting, she was professional, innovative, and genuine. She offers cutting-edge marketing strategies and comprehensive market analysis. Every step of the way she was hands-on and communicative, giving us peace of mind that our home was in good hands. We did not have to take initiative in order to get to the closing table! Even in a tough market and with the many challenges and setbacks we faced along the way, Margaret was not deterred and remained confident that she would sell our home (which she did in less time than average homes on the market…on multiple occasions). Her experience, wisdom, and creative ideas were extremely valuable for us throughout the entire process. All stress subsided after every conversation with Margaret and her level-headed mindset. She was truly a joy to work with! Her expertise and knowledge even beyond the listing of a home are numerous. She was decisive, strategic, and fair as we navigated complexities and contingencies within our contract. Margaret is a breath of fresh air in her approach to real estate! She was a faithful advocate for us every step of the way. We are grateful to have her on our team and am confident you would feel the same way! She should be named Memphis Realtor of the Year!
