Margaret Vierra

About Us:

I'd been a project leader with IBM for 15 years, but had been investing in real estate since my early 20's, had developed land, remodeled fixer uppers, been a landlord, built a home, and had been involved in property rights with community groups for years. My husband encouraged me to get my license. I studied for my real estate license in night school, started in lending and did both for awhile. In 1994 I went into Real Estate sales full time. I worked with a mentor for the 1^st few yrs. primarily with residential sales and land. I love challenges; land, and land development represent "projects" which is attractive to me. After years working at various local real estate companies, I decided I wanted to have more of a leadership role, where my strong work ethic and hard work would benefit more than just me.

After researching many real estate companies, I found Exits' non-traditional methodology was a perfect fit. A full-service real estate firm, with no desk or franchise fees for agents was impressive to me. I added "Keystone" because it represents the top stone in an arch that keeps all the other stones together, exactly what I strive to do in my leadership role within our office. The extensive training program in addition to extensive management support was an impressive combination. The EXIT concept (which was developed by company founder and CEO, Steve Morris, a top Broker at ReMax) emphasizes company teamwork and cooperation naturally, based upon the EXIT concept. Every agent who joins EXIT is sponsored by someone. The company pays the sponsor a bonus of up to 10% of each transaction that the sponsored agent makes. The bonus is from the corporate side of the transaction and not from the sponsoring agent's commission. This system ensures that every EXIT agent has a "teamwork centered" mindset, creating a fabulous working environment for all EXIT sales associates. As a result, EXIT has experienced exponential growth nationally, and in CA in the past few years for a reason. It offers its agents something no other company has offered.

The face of Real Estate is changing. The methodologies used to be a success in the industry are no longer the same as they were before our recent economic crisis. I want my team of professionals to maintain a competitive edge by staying ahead of the game. Most all of my EXIT Keystone agents have taken the time to become Certified REO Specialists, enabling them to be of greater service to their buyers and portray a confidence much appreciated by area lenders and real estate professionals alike.

REO Certified Specialists

Team Vierra represents a group of professional EXIT Realty Associates who have completed a certification program involving the listing and sale of bank owned (REO) properties. Each member of the team provides a unique area of expertise with our goal being a smooth and problem free transaction. A web-based system is utilized to manage all aspects of the REO "Assignment", from beginning to end which includes a checklist of over 150 items that need to be completed from the acceptance of an "assignment" to the completion of the closing. The use of a real estate specific "E-Signature" program is used in conjunction with the process to ensure a secure and near-paperless transaction, reducing time and improving efficiency.

Instead of the usual "one man show" most real estate agents use, we've found using a team approach when dealing with bank owned properties has been much more effective. Together our combined efforts add up to a superior marketing and customer service experience, minimizing time and maximizing sale price.

Margaret, thank you so much for all you did for me, and for my clients. I appreciate your kindness and friendship. Your team is great!

Julie Lowe, Realtor

I want to thank you for all you did to make the sale of our 15 Acres a reality. I certainly recognize that you often went beyond the ordinary in arranging backhoe service, working with engineering and meeting County inspectors.

I also appreciate your patience with me with the numerous calls to see where things stood. Being some distance away is both good and bad. The "good" for me was probably the "bad" for you. I was curious about who was doing what, but not there to watch some of the things you were doing on our behalf.

Selling bare land is no picnic, but you truly showed your professionalism throughout what seemed like many, many months.

Again, Thanks.

Thank you for all your hard work in selling our home in San Juan Bautista. It was a smooth transaction and went a lot easier than we expected because of your professionalism and dedication. You were definitely worth every penny we paid you in commission!

To Margaret, a special note of appreciation for a job well done. Our home,which was over 80 years old, required special buyers and you knew where to find them. You made the entire process painless. A few issues came up and you handled them with little involvement on my part and in a timely fashion.

Originally I had planned to do a "for sale by owner" and was contacted by you as a result of a yard-sale connection. You took the initiative, contacted me and explained what you could bring to the table through your experiences in the local area and some of the pitfalls of for sale by owner deals. After a short period of negotiation, we signed a contract, you delivered a buyer overnight and completed escrow on the agreed-to schedule.

Again, a special thanks from Linda and I for your effort.
