Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage's Ocean Pines office hires four new agents
Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage recently recruited four new sales agents to join its Ocean Pines office - Margo Harrison, Scott Guay and the team of Edward and Mia Schreier.

She holds a Bachelor's degree from Towson University and a Master's degree from Loyola College and taught in Baltimore City schools for 30 years. Early real estate experience consisted of leasing apartments part time on the weekends in the 1980s. Upon retiring from teaching, Margo and her husband built a home on Cape Isle of Wight and they have lived there for over a year. Margo is a member the National Association of REALTORS (NAR), the Maryland Association of REALTORS (MAR), and the Coastal Association of REALTORS (CAR). She credits a superb educational component and high degree of professionalism as reasons why she joined CBRB. "Because I was a teacher, a strong educational foundation was important to me and the professionalism I encountered was a huge selling point. I was looking for a professional arena and I believe I definitely found my niche with CBRB." She was surprised to learn that the real estate market is moving along and doing better than everyone thought and encourages potential clients to contact her when they are ready to buy or sell.
Scott Guay, a retired Information Technology professional, started his real estate career in the northern neck of Virginia in 2003 and moved to the coast in June 2006. A top producer for many years, Scott holds the designations of Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), e-PRO Internet Professional, and Graduate REALTOR Institute (GRI). He plans to attain his associate broker's license later this year. He is a member of Ocean City Chamber of Commerce, Ocean Pines Chamber of Commerce and the Ocean City Parrothead Club. Scott credits brand recognition and market share as reasons why he chose to switch to CBRB. The level of technology CBRB provides for its agents and clients really impressed him, "For me that's huge as I am a real ‘techie' type of guy."
