Margaret Garemore – Realtor and Mediator

My wife and I have now worked with Margaret on two homes. One as a purchase and one as a sale. Needless to say, we were so happy with Margaret the first time, we definitely wanted her to represent us for our most recent sale.
Margaret distinguishes herself from other agents we’ve worked with on many different levels. She always keeps us informed of any new developments. She offers her opinions and advice based on years in the industry. She is very knowledgable of the rules and proper etiquette of transactions. She is trained and versed in negotiations and conflict resolution. Above all, Margaret is very pleasant to deal with and has a way with putting people at ease.
I do definitely recommend Margaret Garemore as an agent and it would be an honor for her to represent us in any future real estate transactions that we may have.

My wife and I happened upon Margaret Garemore at an open house in Monrovia when we were thinking about selling our place. The way she presented the property and her overall demeanor and knowledge of the property she represented impressed us so much, we chose her when we decided to sell our home in Monrovia and buy a new place.
Margaret took the time to listen to what made our home special to us and had a very good grasp on the market as far as what people were looking for and how to price our place for a sale we’d be satisfied with. We made a few upgrades and put our faith in her hands. One thing that Margaret brings to the table consistently is communication. Like a waiter that comes by your table to make sure your water glass is filled and that you’re happy with your meal, Margaret stays in touch with every change and follows up with every important detail to make sure her customers are informed and happy. This is a rare commodity these days!
Now I must point that it was 2009 and the market had just tanked so we needed to set our expectations for current conditions and understand who our buyers might be. Margaret educated us and made us feel as comfortable and in control as we could hope. She ended up finding us a buyer who was retiring and moving from Arcadia and looking for a house just like ours! We sold for a good price (for the market) and the entire sale went smoothly!
We also chose Margaret to help us buy another, smaller home in Glendora. We had found a 1906 Victorian style bungalow that fit our needs and delighted us in its charms and personalization options. The sellers were not easy to deal with but Margaret shined though with her highly professional and effective negotiation skills and got us in for a price that worked for us. We lived there happily for over 5 years. We always enjoyed getting postcards from Margaret about the other properties she’s been able to help with. Her marketing skills are wonderful!
Our jobs have taken us to the Newport Beach area and the commute was just too much so we needed to part ways with our wonderful little house and we knew Margaret would represent us well. She did NOT disappoint! Being somewhat savvy, we did interview other realtors from Glendora but still chose Margaret because the relationship and trust she built with us was a great comfort and we knew we were going to be represented well
I’ll say! She had two buyers for us before we could even have an open house! Our eventual buyer was a veteran and this was going to be his family’s first home. We felt so good about leaving our beautiful home to someone who would cherish it as much as we did that we endured the extra hassles that come with selling to a GI Bill buyer. Margaret once again made the whole process as easy for us as possible and got the vendors she brought in for termite and other services to make concessions that made the deal just right for both buyer and seller.
If you are considering purchasing or selling your home anywhere in the San Gabriel Valley, I highly recommend talking to Margaret Garemore and seeing what she can do. She has earned our endorsement time after time.
