Joel didn't tell us what we wanted to hear, but rather what we needed to hear.  His directness and integrity certainly were reassuring.

My fiance and I met Joel at our first open house when we just starting our search for our first house together. Fast forward two months later and who knows how many open houses, it was time to lock down an agent and get pre-approved. We must have met 20-25 agents and only one stood out to us, Joel Margolis. Our search lasted about 6 weeks before we were lucky enough to buy our perfect starter home. Joel's experience, knowledge, and strong local network proved instrumental to... a seamless buying process. He kept us informed on the potential next steps and guided us through fair negotiation. We've continued to reach out to Joel with first-time homeowner questions and he's always been quick to reply with an answer or solution. We couldn't have been happier with the buying process and highly recommend Joel to anyone on the North Shore whether you're buying or selling. We certainly hope to use him again!
