Margaret is the real estate agent that you want if you are looking for someone who is super efficient, great negotiator, friendly, and who will fight for you to get the best deal possible.
I never thought that I will be able to afford to purchase a property especially in the Bay Area, but Margaret made it all possible. Because of her and fighting spirit, I was able to secure the biggest grants worth $47,000 that went towards down payment which shocked not only me, but Margaret as well since this is quite unheard of!
I highly recommend Margaret to anyone who is looking to buy a property! It was a great pleasure working with her!

Margaret was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very patient throughout the process, always took the time to explain everything clearly, and communicated promptly. Her negotiation skills helped us get a great deal, and her friendly attitude made the entire experience much smoother.
I feel incredibly lucky to have met Margaret—our introduction was purely by chance. At a gathering, I saw my middle school friend chatting with her, and he called me over to introduce us. As fate would have it, I had just started thinking about buying a home before my lease ended in the summer.
Two weeks later, Margaret and I began touring listings. She even took me out to dinner for my birthday, which was such a thoughtful gesture! Over the next couple of months, she helped my wife and me search for a home that met both of our preferences. It wasn’t easy—we had different ideas about what we wanted—but Margaret was incredibly patient and supportive throughout.
At the end of March, we finally found a place we both loved. That’s when Margaret really shined. She handled countless rounds of back-and-forth negotiations with the seller’s agent regarding major issues like the aging roof and termite damage. She didn’t just push for quick fixes—she carefully strategized and even advised that we request a price reduction instead of having the seller pay for repairs. Her reasoning? It would lower my tax burden on the sale and save on interest payments in the long run—something I wouldn’t have thought of on my own.
Throughout the entire process, Margaret was a rock. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. She was incredibly responsive, whether by call, text, or email, and always took the time to explain every detail thoroughly. As someone who asks a ton of questions, I really appreciated her patience and depth of knowledge.
We closed on our new home at the beginning of May, and I couldn’t be happier. Margaret is not only kind and thoughtful—she’s a highly skilled professional and a savvy negotiator. I can’t recommend her enough!!!

Margaret Lin was truly exceptional.
This was our 2nd time working with her. We first hired Margaret Lin to sell our townhome in 2023. We were impressed with her level of knowledge and the amount of data she had about the market in the area. As a result, we knew we wanted to work with her.
Margaret Lin was always available to take us for home tours. If we were interested in a particular home, she would provide us with the property disclosure packet to review. Her responsiveness to us was incredible. She responded quickly to telephone calls and text messages to address questions or concerns.
Because of her excellent communication skills, knowledge of the market and her ability to negotiate, we were able to purchase our dream home with no challenges. The process was seamless.
We are definitely grateful to Margaret.

My daughter and son-in-law had the pleasure of working with Margaret to purchase their dream home. It was an incredible experience for the young couple with limited resources and chances to own a condo and next, a single family home in SF bay area within 3 years time. Throughout the whole buying and selling process, Margaret was professional, trustworthy, highly knowledgeable about the local market and made sure they felt like a priority.

Throughout their journey, Margaret demonstrated immense patience and understanding of their situation. Whether they needed additional time for research, or require more information on a particular property, she took it all in stride. Margaret were supported by highly efficient lenders, inspectors, appraisers, escrows and contractors team that led to smooth and speedy closing process.
I would highly recommend Margaret to anyone looking for top-notch real estate services!

Margaret is a great agent, and I had a great experience with her.

We couldn't thank Margaret enough for all her help in securing our first home. Two best qualities that I love about her is: reliable and trustworthy.
1. Reliable. With two decades of experience as realtor in Bay Area so she knows how to navigate the ins and outs of house buying process. She can help you to understand the plus and minus of each local areas.
You can also rely on her expertise during the offer process and she will work really really hard to ensure you get the best offer possible even until late in midnight after going to 9 house viewing during the day. Even upon having the offer accepted, she doesn't stop there. She'll help you through the finish line. She has lots of contacts from lender, inspector, contractor, etc that would ensure everything runs smoothly.
2. Trustworthy. Personally, I think this is the main quality that everyone wants from an agent that represents them in a big decision such as home-buying. Margaret always speak candidly and is straightforward in expressing her thoughts. This honesty and integrity in doing her work really shine through and makes it easy for you to trust her.
Thanks again Margaret for all your help! You're truly a blessing for us!
