Margaret Ramsey - Associate Broker - Virginia Country Real Estate

Associate Broker, CRS, PMN, GRI, SFR I love providing people with good information so that they can make well-informed decisions regarding real estate. I focus on the sales of new and exiting homes on the Middle Peninsula and in the greater Gloucester area of Virginia including the counties of Gloucester, Mathews, and Middlesex. After nearly 15 years of working in education, mostly in college counseling, I decided to join the family real estate business. Backed by nearly 80 years of family experience, the transition was nearly seamless because my two careers use many of the same skills and technologies. Now instead of matching kids and colleges, I match people with properties! Contributing to my community is also important to me. After working with Girl Scouts and PTO Boards, I served on the board of the Greene County Chamber of Commerce and as Chair of the Greene County Tourism Council. I am currently a Certified Tourism Ambassador and volunteer for the Historical Society of Gloucester. I am also active in our local REALTOR association and recently served as a Director of the Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS and am the President Elect of the Virginia State Chapter of the Women's Council of REALTORS. I believe that continuing education is crucial to keeping up with changes in real estate so that I can do my best job for my clients. Within a year of starting my career in real estate, I was a graduate of the Graduate REALTORS Institute. In January of 2008 I completed the course work and successfully passed the exams to earn my Broker's license. I am a CAAR Affordable Housing Advisor, a Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource (SFR), a Graduate of the REALTOR Institute (GRI), hold the Women's Council Performance Management Network designation (PMN) and am a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS). My most recent courses have focused on staying attuned to the changes in Internet and providing the most exposure online for the properties that I am marketing. Only after evaluating needs, fully exploring the options, and weighing the pros and cons of properties can you make your best decisions. I work diligently to provide my clients with good information and to assist them through the buying or selling process as seamlessly as possible. Should unusual circumstances arise, I handle them directly and efficiently. I am guided by my belief that consistency and persistence are two keys factors in buying and selling real estate.
