Margo Ramsey

About Us:#1 reason for being in real estate: the buyer/seller

I am a native of Dutchess County and have watched it grow tremendously over my life time. Dutchess County is a remarkable place to live. It is right on the banks of the Hudson River with mountains on both sides. Each season is gorgeous in its own right. Before going into real estate, I was a high school English teacher for 20+ years. This was great while it lasted, but I needed a change. Real estate became the next love of my life professionally. I am affiliated with Realty Executives in Lagrange. I have gone the route from working with a large corporate conglomerate to a small independent agency.i have joined Realty Executives because I believe that "the personal touch" is the most important aspect of any transaction. We give both buyers and sellers our undivided attention. When I start out with a buyer I immediately find out what they need, what they want and what they can afford. I won't waste anyone's time showing houses they either can't afford or don't want. Everyone wants to feel important, in whatever they are doing. This stays in the front of my mind at all times. When dealing with sellers, I keep in touch with them on a weekly basis to share the good, the bad and the ugly of the previous week. If your seller isn't contantly informed he/she can't make an intelligent decision on the sale of his/her home. I like to think that I'm the force (along with the market) that helps drive any decision because I am the professional in the field; however, it is the seller that makes the decision and needs all information in order to do so

Residential Resale

I deal specifically with residential real estate, both attatched and detached in the area of Dutchess County within a 10 mile radius. A am a licensed associate broker and hold two designations: ABR, SRES.

My preference is resale and I work with all types of buyers from the first time home buyer to the empty nester. I have sold homes at both ends of the spectrum and have many satisfied customers. I also enjoy listing homes that have a tendency to be different, whether in the layout of the home itself, its location or the actual property it is on.

Whether dealing with sellers or buyers, I truly believe that their home is their treasure, not just an MLS number.

Two years ago I was involved searching for a retirement location. After two trips south, I found the location of my dreams. This took place in August of 2007 and I made an offer on a home pending the sale of my home in New York. When I arrived back in New York, I contacted Margo and explained my situation and my desire to be living in my new place by Thanksgiving. I was delighted to receive indepth information from Margo pertaining to the value of similar homes recently on the market at that time, how to go about preparing my home for showing, who I needed to contact, and how to contact her if I had any questions along the way. The happy ending was, I was living in my dream retirement home by the end of November 2007 and all the "i's" were dotted and the "t"s were crossed. I am truly grateful for one of the smoothist real estate transactions I ever experienced.

Margo Ramsey listed our house in the Town of Poughkeepsie last year and made the entire process so easy for us. She was extremely honest and professional and always prompt for all of our appointments. She had all the answers to our questions and got them for us in a timely manner.

Margo also took us out many, many times to look for our new home. Due to her diligence and savy market experience we were able to find exactly what we wanted. She did not waste our time or hers showing us homes that we could not afford or homes that would not have fit our needs.

I would recommend Margo Ramsey to anyone who is looking to find a new home or to sell their old home.

Sincerely,

Mary Dabros-Powell

I recently bought a home and Margo Ramsey was my realtor. I found Margo to be understanding as to my needs and very helpful in meeting my requirements. She keeps the interests of her client in the forefront and is very knowledgeable in her field. Margo is always available and keeps in contact via internet and/or telephone. I highly recommend Margo if you are looking to buy a home.

It was my pleasure to work with Margo Ramsey on the sale of our house in Wappingers this past winter. She was very realistic on the pricing and gave good advice as to the timing of having a house "on the market."

Margo was always available for questions and was extremely knowledgeable on the many facets of selling, including advertising and open houses. She handled the many details of paperwork with great competence too.

Margo Ramsey was also a great help at our closing when an unexpected glitch came up on the buyer's part. Margo has great rapport with the other realtors and the lawyers from my experience.

When I sell my present house, I would not hesitate to use Margo again. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to purchase or sell their property. Her wealth of experience in many aspects of real estate makes her a valuable asset.

Mrs. Ramsey, affectionately nicknamed "Cousin Margo", is a woman of genuine character. We, the Smithwick family, have known Margo for quite some years now and from the very beginning we formed a bond of trust and confidence in dealing with her.

Margo's knowledge of the Dutchess County area along with her patience and humbleness towards us made it a joy to work with her; not to mention her wit.

Margo possesses a spirit of integrity, therefore, in dealing with her there was never a question of whether the right decision was being made.

Anyone who truly has the desire to own their own home and make their dreams come true would not regret seeking the assistance of Mrs. Ramsey. Coupled with her wit and charm she is personable and will not be satisfied until you are.

Margo's main mission is to be able to go home at the end of the day and sleep comfortably knowing she has done the right things, which makes her an exceptional person. She is truly a blessing.

We congratulate her or her newest accomplishments, way to go Margo you are truly an inspiration.

To Whom It May Concern,

If you are in need of a Licensed and Qualified Real Estate Agent, I would highly recommend Margo Ramsey. Margo served as our Agent in the purchase of our new home in Lagrangeville, NY.

Our process of finding a new home took more than a year and a half, and through it all Margo kept our needs and goals for our new home foremost in her search, and never once let us think she was frustrated with our decisions. Even through the sale of our townhouse falling through at the last minute, in turn, causing us to have to retract a purchase bid in on a new home, Margo kept a positive attitude which really helped us get thru that great disappointment.

After the sale of our townhouse fell through, we decided to wait out winter in our townhouse and try to sell again in the spring, and even though Margo knew we would not be able to buy a new home in the winter, she kept in constant contact with us and even offered great advise on better ways to market our home (which we were selling ourselves without a broker).

Once spring came and the townhouse was back on the market, Margo and I (and often two rambunctious kids) picked us our search for the perfect home...and we had many "must haves" on our list. Large eat-in kitchen, 3 BR's, extra room for office, extra room for playroom, 2.5 baths, great street, great school system, close to major highways, large yard, and in great condition. Oh yeah, and at a ridiculously low price that we could afford.

Margo and our family looked at many, many houses (as my husband and I often could not agree) but Margo never once encouraged us to sacrifice one of our "must haves", and be somewhat happy with a choice, instead she pressed on with our search until we found the perfect home.

And that we did. I knew it the minute I walked in the door- "This is the one", I said.

The house had everything we wanted and Margo knowledgably negotiated the price with confidence and determination and was able to get us our dream home at a price we were very happy with.

Margo's expertise regarding the market, locations and negotiations were priceless to us and her always pleasant, patient and friendly demeanor made it a pleasure to work with her.

In closing, I would highly recommend Margo Ramsey. Margo will work hard for you and make your buying or selling experience a pleasure.
