Last year we decided to put our home of 13 years on the market to sell. As we know many realtors in Raleigh, we had a populous selection of agents from which to choose. We decided to hire Maggie for many reasons including her positive energy, her researched market strategies, and knowing that she would represent our interests. First of all, her energy is magnetizing. And in our busy household, with three children, a puppy and where one of the parents travels for work, positive energy is a necessity for grace and sanity. 1 Maggie went way above and beyond to help us ready our house to be photographed and shown. Armed with good humour and a ‘roll up your sleeves and let’s do this thing’ attitude, she helped us pack boxes to declutter well used and loved spaces in a systematic, but sensitive manner. After clearing and tidying, Maggie used her aesthetic taste to position decorum and art in warm ways to make our house inviting and cozy, providing purpose to each space. This helped the potential buyers see their families in the space. Her photographers, Kyle Ketchel and Taylor McDonald, are excellent partners, showing the best views of the house, inside and out. In an encouraging way, Maggie prepared us in for the standard of perfection when preparing the house for house showings. 2 Maggie employed strategies to increase and maintain market interest in our house. Coupled with refreshing photos, she wrote catchy descriptions to hold the interest of the buyers. When COVID 19 descended upon Raleigh, we took the house off the market and considered our options. Maggie was supportive of our decisions, keeping us posted about the housing market trends. 3 When we decided to re-list our house, we had a thoughtful discussion about our limits as sellers. Maggie listened to our rationale about the financial and time-consuming efforts we had made to sell the house. When, within the same month, several buyers submitted offers, Maggie eloquently and succinctly described our stance with respect to our price, explaining to the buyers’ agents the costly capital projects (such as a new roof, a new HVAC, exterior and interior painting, landscaping, etc.) the house had undergone and the efforts we had made to sell our family home. When a purchasing contract came in, Maggie helped us balance the long list of due diligence repair items, keeping us focused on a few key items rather than pursuing the entire list. There are many extra added touches for which we are grateful to Maggie, and, as they are innumerable, I am sure I cannot list them all, but some are: Maggie replenished welcoming flowers and/or fruit displays in the kitchen, spruced up cozy cushions and white towels, watered exterior plants, maintained exterior flower pots while we were in Canada for 3 weeks over the summer, and made helpful suggestions about how to present office and school spaces during virtual office and schooling for the COVID pandemic. I simply could not add the aforementioned to my overflowing plate. In a word, I could count on her. Thank you Maggie!

Maggie was phenomenal to work with! From start to finish she was positive and professional. We would highly recommend her!

Maggie has been amazing to work with throughout our home buying journey. While being extremely knowledgeable, she is also very patient. We saw a number of homes and she brought the same level of attention and energy to each. She understood exactly what we were looking for and consistently kept us in the loop on what was new and what was about to hit the market. Her follow up on questions was amazingly quick. Maggie also has the ability to make a sometimes stressful experience fun. I would highly recommend Maggie to anyone in the market buying or selling!!

Maggie is FANTASTIC to work with. She is very patient, accommodating and made the home shopping process non stressful. She really listened to what we were looking for and helped us find the perfect home for our family. We would strongly recommend Maggie to any family or friend.

Yes, we bought our home during the coronavirus pandemic and yes, we fretted that this was the worst possible time to buy given the enormous economic uncertainty. But, we needed a home and we were so incredibly fortunate to have Maggie by our side. Maggie is simply amazing! There are not enough superlatives to describe our experience. Maggie consistently demonstrated that she is trustworthy, insightful, kind, enthusiastic, joyful, diligent, patient, highly intelligent, articulate, responsive, knowledgeable, resourceful and an amazing problem solver. We never doubted that she was motivated, not by her own self-interests, but by what was best for us. She took us under her wing as if we were family. Maggie helped us find the perfect home, despite very trying times, but her commitment did not end at closing. When Maggie learned that we encountered a problem after closing, she sprung into action to resolve the issue. She also connected us with a trusted network of skilled workers to assist us during our move. Maggie was there for us every step of the way. There is no doubt that I will call Maggie with any future needs and will recommend her without reservation to all in need.

Buying a home with the help of Maggie Hutten was an absolute pleasure. She amazed us with her professionalism, attention to detail and persistence. She went above and beyond every step of the way. Her customer service is exceptional and we will look forward to the opportunity to get to work with Maggie again.

We had the privilege of working with Maggie Hutten during our home purchase in Raleigh. We honestly do not know what we would have done without Maggie's experience and support during this process. While we have lived in Raleigh for more than 15yrs, Maggies insights, network of contacts, and guidance opened our eyes to what we never thought was possible. Maggie possesses all the attributes necessary to be an excellent broker: she knows her market extremely well; she is diligent, uber responsive, and yet very patient with her clients...and did mention how accessible she is! Throughout the entire process we knew that Maggie was our broker, but we quickly learned she was also our friend.

This is the first time I have been involved in building a spec house and hiring Maggie was the best thing that has happened so far! She has far exceeded my expectations! Maggie is so involved, especially since the house is still under construction. She continues to stay involved in the selection process, since now it is a custom home, as she was able to secure a contract before we even got the sheetrock in! Cant say enough about how great this process with Maggie has been! Triple Kudos!

Maggie is really a wonderful talent and a blessing to the real estate market! From communication, to understanding her client's wants and needs, I am so impressed with her. Maggie is very detail oriented, dedicated and professional. I would highly recommend her to everyone!!

Maggie is absolutely wonderful to work with! She is dedicated to her clients and took the time to listen to our family's needs in a home. Our family has to relocate for work and she went above and beyond to make sure not only the home buying process went smoothly, but that we felt like we were moving into a community with suggestions on daycare, schools, and family spots. She is timely, easy to get in touch with, and handled the negotiation process with professionalism. We would recommend Maggie over and over again to anyone who is either looking for a home or thinking about selling in the Raleigh market.
