Jack Philips was our real estate agent. He helped us successfully purchase a home close to Smith Mountain Lake, VA. Jack was a pleasure to work with. He gave us with great advice and recommendations. He was very responsive and answered all our questions. Jack is very professional and we highly recommended him to anyone who needs a top notch real estate agent in the Smith Mountain Lake area.

I am so glad Margaret was recommended to me. She was professional, friendly and a skilled negotiator. She was knowledgeable about the area, the different communities and the unique classification for the property I was interested in and made sure I had the information necessary to obtain the proper financing. It truly was a stress free buying experience.

We found a house to purchase but needed to sell ours first. Margaret arrived the day after we called. She was knowledgeable of the RE market, professional, warm, and realistically optimistic. She assisted with the FSBO purchase and our sale. Her knowledge was very comforting since we have been out of the RE market for 35 years. Her team came and took photos, and made videos in the next few days. They were very creative and fun to work with. Margaret and her team were with us every step of the way, always available to answer our many questions for a professional, confidence-inspiring, successful outcome.

It was a pleasure to work with Margaret Craye and her team at Life Style and Lake Reality to sell our house on Starboard Lane in the Waterfront Community.It was a rewarding and excellent process. She first met with us to outline an innovative approach to insure success. As a group we developed a strategy to market, advertise, and stage the house/ property to maximize exposure to buyers. We were impressed with the professional package that evolved.While the house was on the market she and team members contacted us frequently to provide updates and feedback from potential buyers always with a positive and upbeat attitude. No effort or expense was spared by her team.We have bought and sold many properties over the years; however, her approach was the best we have encountered. She found many clients and closed the sale.We became good friends and she will remain a part of our lives.Mary and Steve Campbell

Living in Metro Atlanta, we had little experience in the SML area or knowledge of area realtors. We sought out Margaret based on her reviews. We were truly impressed with her approach, knowledge and guidance. Her style is refreshing. As a buyers agent, she pointed out the attributes of each property and aspects that are considered desirable. She didnt try to soften an undesirable attribute, but moreover explained its impact, and helped us weigh out the aEURoepros and cons.aEUR? We have purchased many properties in Georgia over the years, and Margaret really stands out above all the agents with which we have dealt. Furthermore, she has been very helpful in our navigation of all angles and has given us access to all her ancillary resources.

There are hundreds of realtors in the SML area, but Margaret stands heads above the rest in terms of her professionalism, responsiveness, and sales skills. She truly enjoys the marketing aspect of the sale, and quite honestly, once we saw the marketing materials, we wondered why we wanted to sell our home in the first place! But seriously, Margaret has the expertise needed to make the sale go smoothly. We had numerous competing offers within 2 days of the listing going live, and Margaret was able to help us get the best price for our home with no issues. Since we were negotiating from NOVa, her responsiveness was phenomenal throughout the process, including nights and weekends.What we valued the most was her calm demeanor and thoughtful approach to the entire transaction. We highly recommend Margaret to anyone looking to work with a reliable, knowledgeable, and attentive realtor. Her sense of humor can't be beat either!

Margaret was fantastic- she masterfully helped negotiate a unique deal with a sale by owner, giving us flexibility to find time to visit from afar while still somehow locking in a deal for us. She then had the extra challenge of working with us AND an inexperienced seller representing themselves. We would never have been able to buy this wonderful property without Margaret!
