Margaret and Alexander are amazing. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Twin Cities. Margaret went above and beyond for us in so many ways to help us find the perfect place for us as we relocated. She has since worked with other friends of ours to help them find their dream home as well. She has a winning attitude in all kinds of markets. Don't hesitate to use this team.
