Testimonials

Margo handled the sale of my mother-in-law's home. Because the home was owned by a trust it was a more complicated transaction than normal, but Margo worked with the attorney to satisfy the requirements of the trust and made the process seem easy. She was on top of every detail and was a pleasure to work with.

Margo was a delight to work with. She was very responsive to all of our needs, available to answer our questions day or night, and had a team of painters, junk collectors, and handymen to help prepare our house for the sale. As a friend said, “I wouldn’t know where to start to get the job done”. Margo always knew and was always ready to assist us with her knowledge and experience, and with a smile on her face.

I interviewed several real estate agents before hiring Margo Hood of Legacy Real Estate and Associates. Margo was highly recommended to me by my bank. I was told she goes above and beyond to get a home sold. I am delighted to write this review because going above and beyond does not do her justice. Her commitment and dedication to get my home sold was her number one priority. Margo always kept me informed and up to date. Margo's knowledge and attention to detail shined through during the entire process. Margo is honest and trustworthy and I would highly recommend her to everyone interested in buying or selling real estate.

Margo Hood sold our home for 24% over our asking price. Our home was on the market for only 6 days. We received multiple, generous offers. We couldn't be happier with Margo's results. In the current crazy housing market in the San Francisco Bay Area, we expected our house to sell at or somewhat over our asking price and that it would take several weeks to a month. Margo's expertise in marketing to buyers interested in our neighborhood generated lots of interest in a very short amount of time from many highly motivated buyers. Margo made our home look its absolute best with a minimum of fuss and effort for us. We let her make all the decisions regarding what needed to be updated, changed or touched up. She made all the selections, bought the materials, hired the professionals and managed all of the projects for us. Everything was done in two weeks and cost much less than we expected. We were especially impressed that Margo had all of the inspections done PRIOR to listing our home. Potential buyers were able to learn everything about our house before deciding to make an offer, completely removing the possibility of unpleasant surprises during escrow.

Margo found us the perfect home after looking at over 30 homes in multiple cities. Margo was patient, extremely knowledgeable about the local market, and walked us step by step throughout the process. Margo set realistic expectations about what was available and we will definitely work with Margo on our next home purchase.

Margo was awesome. She's obviously very experienced and knowledgeable. She took the time to walk us through every detail of the process, and if there was anything that we didn't understand she was happy to explain. This guidance was invaluable to us as first time home buyers. Margo was great at setting up times for showings on short notice, and she was very responsive to texts and emails. The whole time I felt like we were on top of things and everything went surprisingly smooth. When we went to see the house, she was very outgoing and introduced us to the neighbors. Getting to know the neighbors was a pretty nice advantage because some of them put in a good word for us with the sellers. Margo truly goes the extra mile.

Margo is the BEST real estate agent ever!! If it wasn't for her, myself and my daughter would not be homeowners. She worked so hard to make the process of buying our houses as smooth as possible. She even assisted with loan questions. I love how patient Margo was throughout escrow and was always available to answer any questions or concerns along the way. It is very confusing to understand everything when you are a new home buyer. Margo is very informative and knowledgeable in her line of work. We both really enjoyed working with her and she will definitely be our agent for the next house sale and purchase!! Thanks Margo :)

Margo is a hands on realtor. Her many professional contacts made marketing and selling my home in a very unpredictable market. I felt that the many questions I had were thoroughly explained to my satisfaction. Margo was referred to me by a good friend. Margo’s many years of experience and insight made selling my home easier than expected.

Margo is amazing! She helped my wife and I hunt for and purchase our home in Union City in 2015 in an extremely competitive market. Her knowledge, expertise and immense familiarity with East Bay real estate enabled us to submit competitive offers, and we were ultimately able to find a great home. After a change in jobs and a move out of the area, it was a no-brainer to have Margo help sell our house. This was at the start of the COVID outbreak in mid-April, and we had to contend with ever-changing regulations in the real estate market that upended the normal flow of selling a house. Margo used her amazing networking skills to bring in numerous offers in a market that was otherwise stifled by all the new regulatory challenges. That's multiple offers during a time when we weren't able to hold an open house or even allow potential buyers to step foot onto the property before submitting offers, which is nothing short of miraculous. We were able to get the number we were hoping for, and I am certain that it's entirely due to Margo's relentless drive and effort to engage other agents and potential buyers. I can't overstate how enthusiastically I would recommend Margo to anyone buying or selling a house. Thank you, Margo!
