Let’s get to the root of it. When it comes to having a passion for people and a deep desire to truly know and understand others, Maggie is the master. Born in Burnaby, raised in Langley, and having no history of real estate in her early background it might first seem odd to find how naturally the Kelowna real estate market comes to her but as you get to know our superstar it all starts to make sense. Real Estate is a people business and people are Maggie’s business. After high school, Maggie accepted a job in the automotive industry as a receptionist and, within the first year, worked her way to warranty specialist where she learned the value of listening with the intention of understanding and how to properly manage a client’s frustrations while quickly finding solutions. Not only was she a busy little problem solver at the dealership, but during this time she was full steam ahead when it came to accomplishing her ambitious goal of achieving her business degree as the first step towards a promising career practicing law. When we ask Maggie what her largest take-away was from her business management diploma, she says it was how she learned to truly understand different personality types and find ways to allow these different types to achieve a middle ground and work together in a productive way in order to achieve a desirable end result. For any buyer or seller, this should be music to your ears, as not only does it make Maggie a dream to work with, regardless of your personality or style, but this skill of hers is the foundational makings of a rock-solid negotiator. During this stage in her life Maggie, at the age of 22, and her husband (then boyfriend), decided it was time to make their very first real estate purchase. Setting out with determination and high hopes, Maggie’s optimism and expectations around how her first purchase would go were soon shot down. Although they did make a purchase, the experience quickly turned into a true nightmare full of completely avoidable problems if only they would have had the right agent by their side. Shortly after taking possession of their new home Maggie’s husband was transferred to Kelowna for work. So, they rented their first home out, became landlords for the first time and set off to live the Okanagan dream. Although Maggie’s first real estate experience was a complete horror story, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise as Maggie realized she had developed a strong pull to the real estate world. She found herself longing to continue building and growing her own wealth through real estate, and knew that when it came to a career in the real estate industry her skill set would allow her to properly guide both buyers and sellers through their real estate journeys and help them avoid all the many pitfalls she experienced personally. Once settled into the sunny Okanagan, Maggie decided to pursue her newfound professional interest in the real estate world taking on a role at a small boutique brokerage working as an unlicensed assistant and conveyancer for her first year. Shortly thereafter, Maggie got licensed and became the better half of the top-producing agent for two years, helping over 120 people buy and sell properties. The knowledge she absorbed in this high-volume environment was priceless. In a short 24 months, Maggie gained unbelievable experience and an endless list of valuable lessons that takes most agents 10 years to accumulate. Why get there later if you can enjoy getting there now?! With a highly successful career already in full swing, Maggie knew she was now doing what she was meant to do but something in her current environment just didn’t feel right. So, when she saw that TJ & STEPH Real Estate Group was in need of the perfect team member to add to their continued success, and having already worked closely with both TJ and Steph as individual agents, Maggie knew this was the right move for her and the new perfect place for her to call home. When we ask Maggie what she loved most about the TJ & STEPH Real Estate Group she instantly responds with her admiration of how the team always puts people first, whether it be with their ‘Client First’ mentality or commitment to providing an amazing work environment for their team members. Maggie also gushes about the team’s work ethic, drive, and ability to play off each other’s strengths as they continually strive for never-ending growth. She has a love for Steph’s attention to detail when it comes to their client’s needs and systems required to ensure nothing slips through the cracks. She has a strong admiration for TJ’s ability to bring ease to any situation as he casually commands any room while crushing negotiations for their buyers and sellers. Each team member brings something different to the table and each is a master at what they do best which then cohesively allows us to deliver big results and a great experience to each client we go to work for. When it comes to what Maggie loves most about our ever-evolving real estate industry she says she loves the challenge it brings and the fact that not a single day is the same. She thoroughly enjoys the ability to exercise the creative side of her brain on the staging and marketing side while activating the logical problem-solving side which is required to properly write and execute legally binding offers and documents (fulfilling her earlier desire to work in the legal world). Most importantly she lives for the positive impact she has on the lives of the people she goes to work with and for. “As a consultant, I have been able to guide people through what can be a difficult and frightening process while providing confidence in their decisions. It truly is incredibly rewarding for me each and every time,” she says. When Maggie is not out in the field with her real estate hat on, she can be found enjoying downtime with her husband and their two dogs, socializing with friends over a fine glass (or two) of delicious red wine at one of our local hot spots, getting a good sweat session on at the gym, or on the slopes or surf with her board. Although she likes to keep busy and active, it is not a rare sighting to see Maggie reading or podcasting as part of her never-ending hunt for mastery as she just can’t seem to satisfy her thirst for knowledge and growth.
We had an awesome experience with Maggie and the tj and steph team, Maggie helped us sell and buy our new home making it a great experience she’s hard working and easy to work with and great at communicating we highly recommend Maggie and the team to anyone!! - Bryson Skeldon
Working with Maggie and the team as our realtor was an absolute pleasure. From the moment we enlisted her services to sell our home, she made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. Maggie's warm and friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease. She took the time to understand our needs and preferences, and her extensive knowledge of the local market allowed her to effectively position our property for a successful sale. What stood out the most was Maggie's exceptional communication skills. She kept us informed every step of the way, promptly addressing any questions or concerns we had. Her responsiveness and attentiveness were remarkable, making us feel valued as clients. Maggi's dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire selling process. Thanks to Maggie's expertise and unwavering support, we successfully sold our home. We are immensely grateful for her and the teams guidance and positive attitude, which made the experience seamless and rewarding. If you're looking for a realtor who will go above and beyond to sell your property, I highly recommend Maggie. Her knowledge, communication skills, and exceptional service make her a standout choice for any seller. We we be enlisting her services again. - Nicol Grainge
Maggie was an amazing realtor and resource from start to finish. She was extremely knowledgable, patient, professional and personable and made an effort to get to know us and our needs prior to starting on our search. She took the time to educate us on the market, taking into consideration that we were new to the area, and provided her professional guidance in a way that allowed us to feel confident and at ease throughout the process. Her team was amazing to work with, with amazing communication and support from start to finish. I truly cannot recommend this team enough! - Sara Cecchetto
Reply: Sara & Mike, thank you from myself and the team for such kind words. It was such a pleasure working with you two to help you find the perfect place to call home in cottage country. You made the experience so enjoyable and fun for us (and laughed at ALL of my jokes - big brownie points). We are so excited for you both and cannot wait for you to settle in and enjoy your first Okanagan summer!
Maggie supported us remotely and kept in contact whenever new listings came up that suited us. She understood what we were looking for and what we needed at every step. She was knowledgeable about the area and always gave us great restaurant tips! When we found the right place the team gave us step by step support to complete the process. We felt supported every step of the way and highly recommend Maggie and the team! - Kathleen Nicholson
Reply: Katie & Lee, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. It was an absolute pleasure working with you both and helping you find the perfect home. I can't wait to see how everything looks once you have finished your updates. Thank you for trusting us throughout the process and being so wonderful along the way.
Maggie is a truly phenomenal agent and we can’t thank her enough for all her hard work and dedication. She says she will be by your side every step of the way and she did exactly that for my husband and I. She made us feel heard and understood throughout the entire process. Maggie was fully devoted to finding us the perfect home no matter what, and she delivered. Not only is she an extremely friendly and kindhearted person in general, she is also incredibly professional and knowledgeable in this field. My husband and I were not the easiest of clients and our expectations were very high for what we wanted in a “forever home”, as we were relocating with a baby on the way. She took our house hunt very seriously and did not quit until we landed on the perfect home and felt 100% happy and satisfied. Maggie got to know us very well and never wasted our time on houses that she knew wouldn’t be a good fit. While house hunting for us from a distance while we were still living in Langley, she was thorough and decisive, and always made an active effort to keep us involved via phone, Zoom, text, email, etc. In such a stressful time, Maggie made us feel calm and taken care of. We would proudly recommend Maggie to anyone looking to buy a home or sell their home. - Maria Milford
Reply: Maria! Thank you so much for such kind words, it was such a pleasure working with you both and having the fam join us. I'm so glad I was able to exceed your expectations and make this experience a great one. I cannot wait to meet the little one and hope you two are feeling settled and ready for your new chapter in the Okanagan. Cannot wait to come over and enjoy a glass of wine on the patio with you two!
I'm sure I should try to keep this review sensible and professional but I have a strong desire to add tons of smiley face emojis and exclamation marks! We simply couldn't be happier with the service we received from Maggie. She was professional, exceptionally knowledgeable, always very quick to respond to questions and more than willing to spend time explaining things to us. She's an outstanding negotiator and secured us an excellent price for our new home in a challenging market. Besides her superb business skills, what really sets Maggie apart for us is her kindness, compassion and sense of humour. Nothing was too much trouble. We truly felt that she always had our backs and cared about us as people and not just clients. Instead of a stressful experience, buying a home with Maggie's help was fun! We started out with a real estate agent and ended up with a friend. :-) - Sandra Beare
Reply: Thank you Sandy and Steve for such kind and thoughtful words. I am so grateful to be able to help you both find your first Kelowna home, it was such a pleasure working with you two. Not to mention, how special it is when clients turn into friends. I can't wait to see the updates you do to your new home and kick your butts in a game of rummy over a (few) pints(s) of beer .;)
We truly enjoyed our experience working with Maggie. We had a very tight timeframe for purchasing, and she was able to show us numerous homes and negotiate a deal in the small window we had. The home we decided on needed some renovations, and Maggie was also able to put us in touch with a great contractor. - Cassandra Palmer
Reply: Thank you Cassandra, it was a pleasure helping you and your family find a home. I am excited to see the progress pics on the renos and cannot wait to swing by when it is all said and done!! Hope you aren't getting tired of those lake views yet ;)
Maggie was wonderful to work with. She was readily available and knowledgeable, she went above and beyond to ensure a seamless process with the sale of our property. I’d highly recommend her and her team. Thanks so much Maggie! :) - Sasha Gray
Reply: Thank you Sasha for letting us help you and your family throughout this journey - You guys have been a dream to work with and made our jobs easy! Don't be shy, come visit! (or move here ;) )
Maggie was our listing agent and was wonderful from day 1, all the way past closing. Her communication with us was outstanding! She offered professional and reasonable advice which kept us on track and ultimately landed us the house of our dreams while also getting us top dollar in the sale of our home. I would recommend Maggie to anyone looking for nothing but the best in representation. Thank you Maggie! - Tyler
Reply: Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of this journey with you and your family 🙏🏻. I'm so excited to visit you guys once you are settled in your new home - you guys have been an absolute pleasure! :)
Maggie and the team really ensure that you’re taken care of. They introduced me to an excellent lawyer and insurance broker. They have a nice wholistic approach and take on all the responsibility of a transaction going through smoothly. I highly recommend using their services for your next purchase or sale! - Asiya
Reply: Hey Asiya, thank you & Steven for trusting us with your purchase!! We look forward to seeing you guys enjoying everything the Okanagan has to offer! You guys were an absolute pleasure to work with :)
Have nothing but good things to say about Maggie - she helped us purchase our first home and we are so happy with it. She is very knowledgeable, low-pressure, and quick to respond. I've been recommending her to everyone! - Uwe Eggers
