Margaux Pelegrin has advised buyers and sellers in Philadelphia since 2005, with a specialized focus on historic townhouses and luxury city homes in Rittenhouse Square, Fitler Square, and Society Hill. Raised in Rittenhouse Square, she brings not only deep market expertise, but a lifelong understanding of Center City architecture, neighborhoods, and long-term value.She began her career alongside her mother, Mary Genovese Colvin, founder of Mary On The Square, which evolved into today’s On The Square team—one of the original teams at Compass Philadelphia in 2018. This multi-generational partnership blends deep local roots with a modern, strategic approach to real estate, particularly for clients navigating high-value, architecturally significant properties.

Margaux is widely recognized for her refined eye for aesthetic design and architectural detail, a skill that plays a critical role in her advisory approach. For sellers, she provides thoughtful, design-driven guidance on preparing a home for market—highlighting original features, improving flow, and presenting a property in its strongest light to maximize value and buyer engagement. For buyers, her visual and spatial expertise brings clarity and vision, helping clients understand scale, potential, and the nuances of historic homes with confidence.

Calm, professional, and highly detail-oriented, Margaux guides clients through complex transactions with clarity and ease. Her approach is both data-driven and highly personal, ensuring clients feel informed, supported, and confident at every stage of the process.

Margaux resides in Rittenhouse Square with her husband, Kevin, and their two sons—continuing her deep personal and professional connection to the neighborhood she knows best.

I worked with Margaux Pelegrin at Compass and she was absolutely incredible! I had an interesting start to my home search that didn’t sit well with me and after speaking with Margaux she confirmed all my gut feelings. From there she was more than willing to take me on as a client (which she did not have to do) and was attentive, communicative, and just overall amazing to work with. She asked great questions to understand what I was looking for and what was important to me in my first home. Margaux was never pushy and truly wanted to help me find my perfect first home.

Julianna Garcia

We were lucky we got an offer on the first day that we listed. Margaux and Sara made the whole process smooth and fairly quick.

L T

I cannot overstate how helpful and knowledgeable Margaux and her team are. They helped us find our home in an incredibly competitive market. They made the process so easy.

Alhambra Frarey

Margaux and her team delivered exceptional client service. They were able to handle every aspect of the sale process without me needing to even be in the city or micro-manage and they exceeded my expectations for the end result.

Ashraf Fawzy

We worked with Margaux Pelegrin. She is a rock star. We were out of state sellers and she made the process seamless, had great resources and was a master negotiator. Would hire her and her team again in a minute.

V V

Margaux and team led us through a lengthy and complicated search for a new home due to a relocation and growing family. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and handling of the process. The team helped us navigate the negotiation and kept us focused on our core objectives, resulting in a favorable and no regrets outcome. We will be a repeat customer for sure when the time calls. Nobody knows center city better than Margaux..

Chris McTiernan

Mary and her daughter Margaux represented us when we leased out a furnished condo unit we owned and when we purchased a condo unit as our home. They were totally professional, knowledgeable and diligent. We recommend them without reservation.

Frederick Masters

The On The Square Team has to be one of the best, if not the best real estate teams in the country. The team provided insight through data and anecdotal analysis that demonstrated a true pulse of the market. The communication was proactive, and the skillsets of each team member were as wide as they were deep. Everyone was empathetic, passionate, and genuinely engaged and excited for me and my family. In transactions of this magnitude, the one word it boils down to for me is trust. I would fully trust any member of the On The Square team with any and all of my real estate needs.

Sean Logue

Margaux and her team at Compass were FANTASTIC! They were kind, professional, efficient, communicative, and sold our home quickly and seamlessly. I would happily work with them again!

Cerrene Giordano

Margaux and her team delivered exceptional client service. They were data driven, straight forward and knowledgable. They did a terrific job marketing our house, and handled every aspect of the sale process. They exceeded our expectations.

Tim Scheve

Margaux Pelegrin is the queen of realty in Center City! She knows the market inside and out and was so helpful in assisting me to find my perfect home. I can’t imagine navigating the process without her. She’s a consummate professional was accessible and proactive throughout the process.

Alison Birdwell

My wife and I worked with Margaux and her team to find and buy our home in Rittenhouse in 2022. We were rather particular about what we were looking for and Margaux’s patience and expertise were invaluable. She was nothing short of spectacular throughout our search, purchase, move and even after as we went to her for advice on construction and design decisions. We will 100% be going back to Margaux and the team at Compass when it comes time to sell and find our next home, really cannot recommend this group highly enough!

Tammer Raouf

Margaux (and Emily) were a dream to work with. Accessible, flexible, easy and fun. We sold our house during COVID and they were reassuring, calming, supportive, and fun. They gave great tips to get our house “show” ready and to coach us through the entire sales process. We have recommended them to everyone we know and 10/10 would work with them again. Thank you, Margaux!

Alison Margulies Garber

We had a terrific experience using Margaux Pelegrin and her On the Square Team to sell our Center City townhouse in 2023. Margaux understood the specific market for our historic home and provided expert guidance in establishing the right price. She and her team took care crafting the listing with detailed accurate descriptions and attractive photos.
Throughout the selling process, we got regular updates and valuable advice. Margaux was transparent, honest and respectful. She and her team responded quickly when contacted, provided excellent follow-up and were helpful resolving issues that arose.
We ended up with multiple quality offers and sold our home at our price in the timeframe she initially estimated.
We highly recommend Margaux Pelegrin and her On the Square Team!

Cindy F.

Margaux and her team were very professional and were able to successfully sell our home in a tough environment. We appreciated all their hard work. Margaux has very good knowledge of the Philadelphia market and definitely knows how to get the deal done!

Nadine Biles

We’ve worked with Margaux and her team twice and they are excellent. Margaux represented us when we bought a home in Fitler Square in 2019. She then helped us sell a nearby condo. There were several units for sale in the building at the time and ours sold very quickly as compared to the others. I was very busy with work at the time and Margaux handled everything, including the staging. Margaux balances advocating for her clients with giving realistic and pragmatic advice. She also knows everyone in the city and everyone knows her. And she’s represented several of our friends (at our recommendation), all of whom had very positive experiences. Highly recommend!

Anne Rollins Bohnet

Margaux Pellegrin was fantastic to work with! She helped get my condo on the market quickly, an offer obtained within 30 days and made the process to closing super easy! I live across the country so it was great knowing I could rely on Margaux to help get my condo to the finish line!

Taranae Mahmoodi

We worked with Margaux on the sale of our home during the Spring of 2020 while the world was in the middle of trying to understand the impacts of COIVD. Her guidance and advice was spot on and we could not have been happier with the listing and sale process. We received several offers even without being able to host any in person viewings and she sorted through them to make our decision on which offer to choose very easy. We had a fantastic experience from start to finish and would certainly (and have) recommend Margaux and her team to anyone.

Brian FitzPatrick

Margaux was the third agent we interviewed and the one we chose. She clearly knew the area around Rittenhouse Square the best and understood critical nuances. For example, other agents focused on the large inventory of available housing driving down prices while Margaux realized that the inventory was due to condos and that there were few townhouses like ours. Thus she priced us realistically but aggressively, more than $150,000 more than the other agents but we still sold at $5,000 above asking the first weekend of open house! She also told us what to do to stage our house effectively but at minimum cost. The comparison to a similar unit down our street that was poorly staged only served to make us look better and facilitate our sale. Margaux is also a delight to work with and readily available for questions and assistance. She also follows up. Months later she just reminded us of the details of our closing for tax purposes! Finally she works as part of a wonderful organization, both her individual group and the umbrella Compass. Another wonderful Compass agent assisted us in buying our New York City condo. Clearly we were delighted with Margaux and her entire organization and would recommend her in the highest possible manner.

Eliot Nierman

We highly recommend Margaux Pelegrín as the perfect realtor to sell your home! Margaux is extremely knowledgeable providing strategy, data and market insights on a regular cadence which made the whole selling process calming and effective. Additionally, she adapted to our needs easily and although she is a highly sought after agent in the center city area, we felt as though we were her only client. She was always available and perfectly punctual.

Thank you Margaux! You were the perfect punctuation to our positive chapter in Philadelphia.

Kerri Totland

We’ve moved more than we had hoped to, living in 3 houses in the last 3 years. Margaux and Team seemed to have most of the listings around our center city home, so when it was time to sell our Philadelphia home, On the Square seemed like a logical choice to use.

They were above all professional in their interactions with us and potential buyers. Their responses to questions were prompt and thorough. Their marketing plan for our house was carefully considered and in a difficult market, it was effective (and successful in just a few months!)

After the sale, Margaux and Sara continued to support us and the buyers. As I said, we have a lot to compare, and this was by far the most difficult market and sale, and they were there for us every step of the way. Many, many thanks to the whole team!

Michael Neuss

Margaux and her team were amazing to work with!

Margaux helped us find our perfect home during a time of extremely limited inventory in center city. A few advantages of working with Margaux:

– She is incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of the center city real estate landscape.
– She has great relationships with other realtors and helps you get access to houses before they hit the market and/or that sell without listing.
– She has renovated 2 historic homes and has an excellent design sense. She was helpful on a preliminary analysis of how we could realistically alter a space and had even more valuable advice on what isn’t a good fit or realistic based on cost, historical restrictions, etc.

Also, the real estate market was just weird in the early – mid 2020s. We had strange situations come up on 2 houses we were under contract on (these were on the seller end and completely outside of our or Margaux’s control). Margaux helped us to navigate these and ultimately helped us find our “purple squirrel” of a house that met our many unique and nice to have requirements.

We feel lucky to have had Margaux representing us on our long, strange house hunt and would work with her again.

Julia S.

Margaux and her team are incredible and I am so happy I have been able to both buy and sell in Philadelphia with her. She is professional, experienced, so helpful and knowledgable, and an excellent communicator – I am so thankful I have had her guidance and advice. I would highly recommend Margaux to anyone looking for an experienced and dedicated realtor in the area!

Kathleen Murphy

West Coast to East Coast move. Margaux went above and beyond to make this transition seamless for us. Her responsiveness, attention to detail, and always assuring us with a great deal of positivity, that all the pieces to this move will work out….and it did. We would highly recommend her. Thank you, Margaux.

Judy Sorensen

Margaux is a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to anyone. She is knowledgable, pleasant and responsive. She gives good advice. She is not pushy. We felt like she had our best interests at heart.

Rachel Zamsky

We had such a great experience working with Margaux Pelegrin to sell our home in Society Hill. She and her team at On the Square made the whole process so much easier than we expected — always available to answer questions, quick to give great, strategic advice, and truly invested in getting us the best result. On top of being an expert in the Philadelphia market, she’s kind, patient, and a real pleasure to work with. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Andrew Varda

We have worked with Margaux Pelegrin when selling our historic home in Graduate/Rittenhouse and again purchasing a condo in Rittenhouse.
Margaux and her team are on an absolute pleasure to work with. They cover every detail when listing and selling our property, Margaux advised us along the way and took care of everything from listing till settlement.
In purchasing the condo, Margaux and her team fully understood our needs and requirements. She went above and beyond to find us the perfect property.
We highly recommend Margaux and the On the Square Team for any real estate needs

Mark Feinstein

Margaux Pelegrin and the entire team at On the Square were outstanding as we moved to and bought our amazing new home in Philadelphia. Margaux was particularly attentive to our needs and worked tirelessly for us to make sure we found the perfect place. She and the team were incredibly responsive and super knowledgeable about all the neighborhoods, pros and cons of properties, you name it. I also want to give the team a special shout-out as much of the preliminary work and early searching was done remotely, leveraging video calls, their portal and answering questions/posts we had about properties — this made our time together in-person more focused and goal oriented. Definitely recommend Margaux and her On the Square team.

Allen Putman

Our experience, working with Margaux Pelegrin, was professional, educational and a great pleasure! From listing our beloved home of many years to finding and purchasing a new residence, we felt guided, but never pressured in making our decisions. Margaux and her team helped us prepare our home for listing with experienced eyes and a clear path to marketing it.
The house was magnificently photographed and posted on various, high volume sights. When we received offers, above our asking price, Margaux took us through the business side of our transactions with clarity.
We know that partnering with Margaux Genovese Pelegrin was the right choice for us.

Michael Laver

Margaux made our home buying experience as smooth as possible! Upon initially meeting Margaux she immediately understood exactly what we were looking for in a home. She showed us the home we ended up purchasing just 48 hours after our first meeting. As first time homebuyers, Margaux did an exceptional job of explaining the process to us. Having Margaux by our side took much of the stress out of this process. The insight and expertise provided by Margaux and the Compass team led us to find our perfect home. Margaux’s responsiveness and attention to detail truly set her apart and made our home buying process and enjoyable one.

AJ Dillione & Molly Crowe

Margaux is a total pro – impeccable judgment on pricing, staging, positioning in the market. Her expertise and perspective were invaluable at each step of the process, all the way through negotiation and acceptance of an offer.

Carrie Simons

Margaux went above and beyond as our realtor in the buying process. She was unwaveringly patient, helpful, responsive, and honest in guiding us through a 1+ year long search. An attentive and intuitive collaborator, Margaux was able to listen carefully to us as we sorted through our priorities and reactions to seeing various properties and expertly help us refine what we were looking for. We always felt comfortable in her extremely capable hands; besides knowing the Philadelphia market inside and out, she deftly displays the wide range of skills necessary to be a top-quality agent, from the veteran knowledge of the industry to the keen emotional intelligence needed to guide her clients through major life decisions. We are so appreciative of Margaux’s help through every step and would recommend her to others without question.

Katherine Crowe

Margaux was delightful to work with and extremely competent. She knows the market inside and out and was very creative with marketing and selling our home during a challenging time in the market. Unlike some prior experiences, I always looked forward to speaking with Margaux and I feel as though I made a friend in the process. Highly recommend!

Clement Pappas

Margaux went above and beyond in every way possible to find us a perfect home. She never rushed us or pushed us if she didn’t think it was the right house for us. She made herself available for countless showings (I literally lost count!). When we found houses that we were interested in pursuing, she was assertive with the other agents and kept us informed every step of the way. Most importantly, Margaux did what you wish every doctor, hairdresser, teacher, and staff member at the Apple store would do – she LISTENED. She took the time to thoroughly understand our frustrations, concerns, and challenges in finding a house. If there was a showing that didn’t cover everything on our “must-have” list, she made sure to tell us in advance so we could opt out if we wanted to. She came to understand our needs better than we did. In the end, Margaux’s resourcefulness is what got us there. She’s scrappy! She found us a house that we would have never been able to find on our own. And then she and her well-equipped team did a phenomenal job selling our house – in three days! We are forever grateful to Margaux for the hard work and care that she put into finding us the perfect home.

Lauren Laver

Our experience working with Margaux was fantastic. Everything about it made things go so smoothly. She was extremely patient and knowledgeable. Margaux knows this city better than anyone! She was available no matter what time of day and educated us tremendously on the process of selling our home. We felt completely comfortable deferring to Margaux when it came to making decisions or signing documents. She is certainly trustworthy. Her friendly and pleasant demeanor also makes it a pleasure to work with Margaux. Highly recommend!

Jill Brotman

Margaux was a dream. She helped us sell 5 different properties in three different neighborhoods over one summer. Her eye for pricing, marketing, helping us get the best price that would close on time all made the impossible seem like just another workday.

John Feuerstein

I could not recommend a professional more highly than I recommend Margaux. Buying a (very expensive) home is stressful, nerve-wracking and an altogether new experience. We bought our home in Fitler Square in an extremely competitive market for buyers. Margaux had great insight into what would be coming up for market (which was crucial in this market — she truly, truly knows the market in Center City); on-point instincts about when to make an offer, and at what price point; when to walk away and wait for another house. We were the winning bidder in a competitive bidding war with Margaux’s excellent guidance. When it came time to inspect, and then close, she held our hand throughout the process. It was truly seamless and low stress. She was ethical and above board at all times. She went beyond just getting us the house and closing–recommending contractors, landscapers, roofers, and the many other professionals we needed to make our home our own. I recommend her to friends and family without hesitation. She will get you the house you have been waiting for, or sell your house at top price. She is smart, confident, knowledgeable, and honest. You can’t ask for more than that.

Sarah Pierce

My husband and I were in a unique position as long term renters who suddenly needed to find our first “starter house” that would satisfy our family of four and two dogs.. in the good school district but at a great price. Margaux was able to successfully navigate us through the processes and advise us at each step of the way. We were all over the map in terms of what we wanted and she expertly guided us and provided advice while somehow listening to everything we said. It was clear to us that not only was she knowledgeable but she had her pulse on what was happening in the market. When Margaux said that the house was overpriced, we trusted her, when she said to bid our max, we complied. The market was tough and the process took longer than we expected but Margaux never slowed down and continued to curate great possibilities. Again, as a picky first time home buyer I couldn’t imagine having anyone else by our side. I can’t say enough about Margaux and would recommend her to anyone, no exceptions.

John & Elizabeth Hanks

Margaux was such a pleasure to work with. Super responsive and available! Her knowledge of the local real estate market was invaluable in helping us to sell our home quickly and find and secure our new dream home in a very competitive market. I would 100% work with her again and recommend her enthusiastically to anyone I can!

Nicholas Wolk

We cannot imagine a better realtor existing than Margaux. She was extremely knowledgeable and always quick to reply when we had questions, which there were many of, as we purchased our first home. We had high expectations for our budget and Margaux showed us numerous options which met our criteria. She was wonderful through the entire process and if we ever decide to move she is the only person we will call.

Adam Stump

Margaux was phenomenal, no matter how big or small the issue she was always willing and able to help. We priced right based on her recommendation, got above ask, and had very little anxiety through the process. I would, without question, use her again; top marks!

Moniica McKay

It’s very easy to write about a successful transaction. What I look for in an agent is knowledge of the marketplace, pricing based on competitive factors, and the use of latest technology to appeal to a wide audience. Mary and Margaux have competence in all three. I also appreciated the help in filling out the complex local and state forms. The transaction was completed with no need for a real estate attorney. Mary and Margaux don’t let issues “sit”. They respond with quickness and accuracy. I have used Mary and Margaux for buying, selling, and rental. Who could ask for anything more?

Frederick Morlok

Our experience with Mary and Margaux was excellent from the first phone call right through the settlement meeting. We were looking for an agent that was professional and savvy, and one that we could trust. We wanted an agent that would provide an honest, fact-based, and realistic recommendation on pricing our home – not an artificially high price to entice us that would do more harm than good to the marketability of our home, but a price that would maximize our return. On-line reviews led us to Mary and Margaux and we’re glad we found them. They make a powerful team – knowing how to combine their unique skills in an efficient and complementary way. They are honest and professional – they earned our trust quickly. They are experienced – which means they are confident and composed at the critical times in the selling process. They were open to listening to our ideas on the key selling points of our property and to our desired level of communication. They have a very strong team, with a special call-out to Scott. After seeing Scott conduct an open house for us, it was clear he is also a top-notch agent. Overall, a very solid experience leading to a successful result. We would highly recommend you consider the selling team of Mary and Margaux

Mark Rutledge

Margaux was both professional and approachable. This made us feel extremely comfortable expressing our expectations and also any doubts that would arise during the search process. It was clear she had our best interest at heart and she did a great job getting us our dream house within our particular means. She was also really quick to gain an understanding of our vision and was able to hone in on our specific tastes, making the process a lot easier and less time consuming. A pleasure to work with, and a refreshing break from the ego-centric agents that are so prevalent in the real estate world!

Kait Falconer

Margaux made our first home purchase in Philadelphia a breeze. Never pushy, always straight forward and honest, super responsive, and truly a joy to work with. What we though would be a couple month search process quickly turned into the better part of a year and Margaux never lost sight of our interests/requests, kept us patient, and helped us get exactly what we were looking for. From our first consult, all the way to closing day, it was clear we were in the best hands. Looking forward to working with Margaux again in the future for any of our other real estate needs!!

Jamie Froehlich & Meredith Miller

We chose to list our home with Margaux based on her deep knowledge not just of Center City but our neighborhood within it. We were relocating across country, so time was a premium for us, but we wanted to get as much as we possible could. She did an excellent job of marketing the property, from ensuring it was listed everywhere it needed to be online, to working her own network buyers agents, to listing it at exactly the right price. We had an offer the same day it went on the market, and 3 the evening of the open house. We were in contract within 3 days of it going on the market, at a price above our asking price. I would recommend Margaux wholeheartedly — she was an absolute pleasure to work with!

Diane Bartoli

Margaux was exceptional in listening to our needs and pointing us in the right direction. Instead of ushering us around to every house in existence, she brought us to the houses she knew we would love. And she was right! We ended up purchasing the third home we saw, and couldn’t be happier!

Gina & Daniel Criscitelli

On our property, Mary and Margaux brought us realistic prospective buyers and in a consistent manner. They worked with us on timing of appointments and in getting house ready. Bids were all represented in the ballpark we asked for. After contract they helped us find contractors to complete necessary repairs.

Steve & Leslie Levick

My fiancé and I worked with Margaux to buy our first home in Philadelphia, and we could not have asked for a better experience with a realtor! As first time home buyers, we needed a lot of guidance, and she went above and beyond to help us every step of the way. She was very patient with us as we figured out exactly what we wanted from neighborhood to house size. Her knowledge about the market and neighborhoods in Philly helped us find a home that we love! We have already recommended her to friends looking for a home, and they are closing on their dream home next weekend! If you want a realtor you can really trust, call Margaux!

Kelly Tomer

Margaux was incredible to work with in our housing search! She is the absolute best and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home in Philadelphia. She was extremely patient and listened to all of our wants & needs to ensure we found the best property for us in our price range. Her insights were so incredible that she found us the perfect home that we would never have found ourselves. I can’t thank Margaux enough and look forward to hopefully working with her again in the future!

Katie Grossman & Ed O’Reilly

Margaux is tremendous. She is incredibly knowledgeable about neighborhoods, housing specifications, and changes and renovations that can be done to a home–she shares this information freely as you are touring a home. I saw a home with her on a Friday morning and we had an offer signed that night! Her efficiency is unparalleled. She was easily reachable via phone, email, and text messaging. She responded to our (many!) questions (first time home buyers!) almost instantly–including weekends. I couldn’t give any higher praise for Margaux. She is now my Philadelphia realtor for life!

Zachary McClain

Margaux was a fantastic agent. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and a skilled negotiator. My house in Fitler Square was under contract in 48 hours thanks her excellent marketing and pricing strategy. She also didn’t make me go crazy with staging, which I really appreciated because I have two small children.

Erika Bohman

Margaux was professional and a pleasure to work with. She had a good pulse on the market and moved quickly on an offer, which was one of my requirements with a realtor. She helped me land a great condo in the city and couldn’t be happier with the place. I highly recommend her to others in Philadelphia looking for a positive home purchasing experience.

Evan Flamm

Margaux helped my fiance and I find the perfect first home! Going into it, we had no idea what to expect or what we were even doing, ha! Margaux not only walked us through each step of the process, but also showed us some amazing properties until we found THE ONE. She was on our side the entire time, by hard negotiating with the sellers and making sure the property was perfect for settlement. Our experience was really fun and in the end we got everything we wanted.

Krysta Genovese & Bradley Jones

There are not enough superlatives to sufficiently describe my experience with Margaux Pelegrin. She is a consummate professional and possesses both the IQ (local knowledge, financial acumen, etc.) and the EQ (consideration, patience, etc.) necessary to create an exceptional real estate experience. Most importantly, she found my dream home and negotiated a great price!

Catherine Moellering

Mary and Margaux have now represented us in multiple transactions. They have helped us sell and purchase two homes. Mary and Margaux are always very professional and honest. They will go above and beyond to make the process seamless. They both know the city of Philadelphia like the back of their hand and can provide detailed information at all times.

Paige Jaffe

Margaux Pelegrin is the embodiment of what all realtors should strive to be like – we will never work with anyone but Margaux going forward for any home sales or purchases. We worked with her for over 9 months to find the perfect home in Philadelphia. She was patient, incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and was available 24/7. Her team is also fabulous. Margaux has tremendous expertise in the Philadelphia market, having grown up in Philadelphia, and she takes tremendous pride in her work. We couldn’t recommend her more highly – she is truly a spectacular star!

Rinad S. Beidas

Margaux is a life-long center city resident who knows the ins and outs of the city. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the inventory and resale value when looking for places and she will help stage your home to make sure you get the best offers possible. Margaux is very responsive and always quick to offer helpful referrals and suggestions of how to make the best of your home.

Lauren Daniels and Greg Schernecke

I can’t say enough positive things about Mary and Margaux. They provided so much valuable advice every step in the process. They also have a network of great referrals for services and professionals that was so helpful for a family who recently moved to Philly.

Mick Merritt Jr. & Dale He

Margaux was the Realtor for my first home purchase and I am so grateful for her as she made it such a wonderful experience. Having lived and worked in the city her entire life, she has tremendous insight into the Philadelphia market, a great network of relationships and also a very keen sense of ability to read her clients. She introduced me to properties and areas I wasn’t even aware that I wanted and yet I instantly fell in love with most of her suggestions. Margaux responded immediately to all of my emails, which I was sending so many that I was starting to annoy myself, and most importantly, she helped me to negotiate a price that not only secured my dream spot but also was within my budget. Plus, I really enjoyed hanging out with her as we visited and traveled to all of the sites; she has a great personality. I highly recommend her.

Bria McMenamin

My husband and I have worked with Margaux twice now, once as first-time home buyers, the second when we sold our house four years later. We moved to Philadelphia from out of state and were very unfamiliar with the city at the time we were looking to buy. Margaux worked with us for several months, showing us various properties all over the city and helping us narrow down our preferred areas. She is an incredibly diligent and thoughtful realtor and always had our best interest in mind throughout the often stressful and tedious process. We ending up buying the perfect house in a neighborhood that we absolutely loved, and when the time came to sell our house, there was no question we would use Margaux’s services again. I cannot stress enough the amount of professionalism and expertise she brings to her work. She is an incredibly skilled negotiator as well, and we knew she would go to bat for us when the situation called for it. As a bonus, she was born and raised in Philadelphia, and knows the city better than anyone else I’ve met.

Lauren & Fernando Bairos

I wanted to purchase a home quickly in early 2013. I met with Margaux within a couple of days of reaching out to her, toured homes within a week and was under contract within another week or so. The process could not have gone more smoothly for me. Margaux was great to work with! She was responsive and very knowledgable and has excellent customer service skills. I would highly recommend her.

Danielle Muirhead

Margaux is a true professional and wonderful at her job. She makes the process very easy and enjoyable. Margaux sold our condo in just 2 days! We couldn’t have asked for an easier experience.

Jennifer & Andrew Eimer

Margaux helped my husband and I purchase our first home this year. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the Philadelphia market and neighborhoods. She was easy to get in touch with, flexible, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She’s very honest which was exactly what we needed as first time buyers. We would recommend her to anyone!

Eric Gromball & Amanda Nitti

My wife and I contacted Mary and made known to her what we were looking for. She saved our time by directing us to properties we liked and considered buying. In a short time, Mary found exactly what we were seeking and we bought our residence. Margaux was very involved in the entire process and gave us helpful referrals to contractors for modifications we wanted to make. Both Mary and Margaux know the market, are very professional, have good common sense and looked out for our interests. Our experience with them was refreshingly positive.

James Colleran, ESQ. – The Colleran Firm

I have bought and sold more than 6 homes in Rittenhouse Square. It wasn’t until my last few transactions when I met Mary and Margaux did I understand that I was now dealing with the best. They define customer service and professionalism. I laugh at the ads that say, “we sell the most, or largest number of condo sales”. When I am buying or selling my most significant possession, my home, I want the best, the most professional, someone that treats my property and my needs as their own. I want Mary and Margaux. Someone that sells the most in no way means they serve the seller or the buyer the best. What I learned from Mary and Margaux is that I was not just one more appointment in a busy schedule. They really cared about what I wanted; they listened very carefully to my needs. I never felt like I was being pushed into a deal I didn’t feel right about. I certainly never felt it was just about getting the sale or the deal done. With Mary and Margaux it is all about a relationship that is why so many of their clients are still both clients and friends for life.

Searching for and purchasing a new home should be an enjoyable and exciting experience. All too often it comes with frustration and disappointment. Mary and Margaux are true professionals, always researching the right properties and never wasting your valuable time looking at properties that aren’t on your target list. The comprehensive and personalized work of this team is something that potential Philadelphia home buyers and renters should experience first-hand.

We used Margaux as our realtor to buy and sell two houses, and all of our experiences with her have been fantastic. She is extremely knowledgeable about the Philadelphia center city housing market, she does a great job marketing her properties, and she is a true advocate for her clients. Both of the homes that we sold with Margaux were sold within 30 days for very good prices. When looking for a new home she listened to our needs and found us beautiful places. I would HIGHLY recommend using Margaux to either buy or sell your home.

Margaux was great! My fiance and I were originally considering only houses in Graduate Hospital, but Margaux suggested we also see some houses in Fairmount and we ended up loving it. She listened well to what was most important to us and refined listings each time we went out to look with her. After finding a new construction, she recommended several upgrades and helped us negotiate to a wonderful final product. Now we love our home, and could not have done it without Margaux!
