Melissa is knowledgeable, gave us many good tips to prepare our house for sale, was super patient and professional with us. The whole process was very smooth and we got great offers for our house the very first day of listing it. She knows what she's doing!

Our agent, Megan Hicks, made the home buying process as easy as it could have been. She quickly honed in on our tastes and showed us houses we loved that were within our budget. Even though the market was punishing, she helped advocate for us and stayed with us every step of the way.

I cannot recommend Hesper C. highly enough. She took care of us like she would her own children. She made what could have been a very confusing and overwhelming process (buying our first home), smooth and easy. She was (and still is) always available to answer any small questions or concerns. She's super down to earth and so easy to talk to and work with. She really understood what we were looking for in a house.

Cynthia made the whole experience great. As first time homebuyers she walked us through everything step by step so we knew what to expect while closing. Having Cynthia as our realtor truly gave us comfort in knowing that someone with knowledge and experience was working on our behalf to get us into our perfect home. She and her team were everything we were expecting and more when we chose Magnolia Realty

Melissa was an absolute joy to work with. She always over communicated and made sure deadlines were hit with perfect timing. I am so thankful for her positive attitude and encouragement every step of the way during our buying process in a new city. Thank you for being top notch in every way, Melissa!

Jennifer Jenkins was incredible. After 2 years of looking to buy our first home we finally got one and we couldn't be happier. Jennifer was fantastic as we had to do the majority of closing out of state. Her communication was very responsive and always on point. Would recommend her to all family and friends looking in the Waco area.

Katie Cross is your Go-To Realtor! She held my very old had and walked me through the whirlwind purchasing of my new home. Her patience to answer the myriad questions had to be taxing but her lovely smile and detailed explanations put me at ease every time. Not a single ball was dropped in this entire process! I highly recommend Katie Cross to anyone!

I cannot say enough good things about Melissa Miller with Magnolia Realty. Melissa made the experience of buying our house such a joy. Her willingness to go above and beyond was evident in each interaction we had. She communicated so clearly and quickly and helped guide us each step of the way. We are so pleased to have had the privilege to have worked with her and look forward to doing so with any of our realtor needs in the future! She is truly the best in the business!

Blaire was amazing. She went above and beyond at every step. She found us our dream retirement home the first day, quickly responded and secured the house for us. Since we are out of state, buying unseen, we had to trust our agent and after my wife was actually able to fly to Texas to see the home, we knew we made the right choice. Blaire found and met inspectors at the home for us which we felt was beyond the call of duty. She even secured a lock box for us so we can have contractors come while we are still living in our current state. We highly recommend Blaire and Magnolia for all real estate needs.

Aya did a wonderful job for us as buyers of a new home in Bethesda. We knew the house we wanted (we are from the area) and needed a no-nonsense agent to help us with the contract bidding and finalization. She came through superbly. Aya is a great agent in general, and very reasonable rebate-wise (check out her website for details)- especially if you know the house you want. Very attentive to clients (and has a good sense of humor!).

We recently bought a House with Aya,
What can I say it was an amazing experience as a first time home buyer she made sure we understood every single step and succeeded in that. She is very responsive, honest, dependable and when it comes to negotiation you will always feel she has your back. She made sure we got the home with the best possible savings we can. To sum up we bought our first home with her and surely will buy our second one also with her. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out to me.

Aya was the right broker for us. She was super patient and helpful. This was our first home so we needed a lot of hand holding. The process was relatively smooth. She recommended a great title company that was very responsive. Aya also knew which inspectors to reach out to. Thank you Aya for everything! I really loved she had all her paperwork the first time we met and she has a broker's license as well.

We are first time MD home buyers relocating from Colorado, and we are very pleased that we chose to work with Magnolia Realty for our home purchase. Our agent, Aya, was a great help throughout the buying process and provided us with outstanding insight into the home purchase process in MD. Aya was readily available to help with questions virtually 24/7, provided flexible availability for showings, and provided us with 100% electronic documentation to help streamline the buying process.
Regarding the rebate provided by Magnolia Realty, the process was straight forward, and we were provided with the promised rebate at closing with absolutely no issues. We highly recommend Aya and Magnolia Reality and we are very appreciative to Aya for a great home buying experience!

We bought our first house with Aya. She was very helpful, answering questions, showing us houses all days of the week, and communicating often with us and with sellers' realtors. She made the process easy and guided us through the paperwork - a process that can be intimidating. Aya was really invested in us and in making our dreams a reality!

As a first-time home buyer, I had no idea about the buying process besides searching websites to websites aimlessly. Until we met Aya and Frank from Magnolia realty, they are very knowledgeable, and extremely helpful with all aspects of buying, listing and sale. She gave helpful recommendations, guided me through the whole process and always available to answer or return my phone calls. We have had 2 other real estate agents before her, and while they have been all good - Aya is just more efficient, cares more about her clients and always had your best interest in mind.
During the process, we had some issue with my lender, Frank tried his hardest and made countless phone calls to get my condo close on time. We absolutely loved working with Magnolia Realty and would highly recommend Aya & Frank to all my friends who are looking for homes -Zu

We were thinking of making an investment in Maryland and found Aya on google. since we are not from the area it was important to us to find someone who could advise on preferred investments properties. Aya was very knowledgeable and patient. she arranged for a verity of possibilities and explained in details regarding each property. it was a pleasure working with such a professional.

Magnolia Realty has created the best experience in helping us purchase our first home. Aya was more than just a realtor she became a good friend and she really got to know us on a personal level. Her professional expertise and attention to detail was quite rewarding as we found our perfect dream home within our budget. We would definitely recommend Aya for future home buyers and sellers or for those seeking professional realty advice. Thank you Magnolia Realty it was a true pleasure.

Aya Netanel really delivered as our agent. She was incredibly patient through the whole process and invested time to truly understand our needs. She explained everything clearly to us, which we really appreciated as new homebuyers. Aya was very flexible with her schedule so as to accommodate us. By the time we bought a house, we felt as though she had become a member of our family. If you're looking for a superior realtor, Aya's the one.

My wife and I made our first home purchase with Magnolia Realty. We had a wonderful experience working with Aya. She has expertise of the Maryland market and was able to provide us valuable insights. She was always available to answer our calls even at odd hours, schedule tours late evenings and on short notices. She also spent a lot of time in person with us discussing each and every details of the offer letter/contract. She was truly client dedicated I do not think could have received such attention if we had worked with someone else. If we ever decide to buy a second home, we will definitely call her back.
