Margaret Combs, introduced and recommended by a mutual friend, and I shared an instant connection with the sharing of the same kind of old fashioned first name. I liked her, and knew that I could work with her, from the moment we met. She was kind, low key and very personable. Right off, I referred to her as TOM (The Other Margaret). As I was selling my home of nearly 50 years, I had very little knowledge of how and why the current real estate market operates. Margaret was very gracious with all of my questions, educated me throughout the process and kept me well informed. The listing and sale went very quickly and without a hitch. Margaret acknowledged that this wasn’t just a business transaction o final transfer of ownership. I most certainly will recommend Margaret Combs to friends/family looking to sell real estate in the San Ramon Valley.

Our home sale was not easy but through it all Margaret rolled with the punches and got the job done. She did a lot of work with getting bids for staging the house which we decided not to do anyway. I sometimes felt it was unfair to have her do all this work and not be paid for it. She NEVER gave up. She communicated constantly with us at every stage. She kept her sense of humor. Just the best ever.

Margaret sets a high standard for the profession. She comes to the table with a real pulse on the market and she's happy to provide all the resources to help you on both sides of the transaction. We've come to rely on Margaret for multiple transactions and have referred her to all of our friends. She will be real with you about your expectations and has to the right approach when entering a deal.

15 years ago, we purchased our primary home where we are currently living with the help of Margaret Combs who was our neighbor and a professional real estate agent in Danville. We also purchased a rental property in Livermore with her help 10 years ago and reached out to her again 10 years later to purchase another rental property. Margaret has always demonstrated professionalism, deep market knowledge, and genuine care for our needs. She took the time to understand what we were looking for, guided us through every step of the process, and always made us feel supported and informed. Margaret has always impressed us with her responsiveness and attention to detail. Whether it was answering late-night questions, arranging viewings at short notice, or negotiating skillfully on our behalf, Margaret consistently went above and beyond. When it came time to negotiate, Margaret was a true advocate. She balanced professionalism with persistence, ensuring we got the best possible outcome without ever compromising integrity. Beyond the transaction, what we will remember most is the genuine care she showed. It never felt like just a business deal—it felt like working with our dear friend who genuinely cared about us.

Margaret was incredible from start to finish in the sale of our home. She communicated with us throughout the entire process and handle everything for us! She set up all our inspections and was there to meet them! She is a person of great integrity and was always looking out for our budget. The transformation of our house was incredible, due to her experience and her great team. Our home sold for 452,000 more than asking price. Our family would highly recommend Margaret Combs, you won’t be disappointed!

I have known Margaret since 2012 and this is the 4th transaction. I live 95% overseas and I completely relied on Margaret to sell my house. Not only as an agent, but as a friend, adviser and coordinator for repairing my house before selling it. As a coordinator for the repairs, she dutifully performed her task, though this is completely beyond her responsibility as an agent. The fact that we have known each other for over 10 years really helped as you knows me very well. As an agent, she knows the market and knows what has to be done to sell a house. She is also patient, particularly when I was ambivalent about selling the house (went with a price that was higher than she recommended the first time we tried to sell this particular house 3 years ago). I did accept an offer though it did not go through as I was very tough in detailed negotiations 3 years ago (I could always rent it out). This time, when I really wanted to exit, I listened to her and the house was under contract in 4-5 days and sold quickly like clock work. If you are a regular family that wants to buy a house and live there forever, Margaret will make the process as pain free and straight forward as possible. She is straight forward, kind, competent and will not screw up. If you are an investor, Margaret knows the market and can give good recommendations in terms of price and strategy. Perhaps the most important is that she is straight forward, honest and does not screw up. She is also professional and can deal with the aggressive approach of many investors. I have been in both shoes, as a homebuyer and an investor. I highly recommend Margaret in both cases.

Working with Margaret Combs was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. Her deep understanding of the real estate market is immediately apparent—she knows how to price a home strategically, market it effectively, and negotiate with confidence and integrity. Margaret brings with her an impressive network of trusted professionals, from inspectors and contractors to photographers and stagers, all of whom contributed to making our home shine. Her recommendations for preparing our house for sale were spot on, and thanks to her connections and guidance, the process was smooth, timely, and stress-free. One of the standout aspects of working with Margaret was her incredible communication. She kept us informed every step of the way, always available to answer questions, explain next steps, and provide updates. Her marketing package was extensive and beautifully executed—from high-quality photos and compelling listings to social media promotion and professionally hosted open houses. Margaret’s attention to detail and personal touch made all the difference. She hosted open houses with warmth and professionalism, creating an inviting environment that truly showcased our home. Thanks to her, we had multiple strong offers and a streamlined closing process. If you’re looking for a realtor who is experienced, well-connected, honest, and truly dedicated to her clients, Margaret Combs is the one. We couldn’t be more grateful for her expertise and support throughout the process.

Margaret goes above and beyond for her clients! She made the whole process simple, easy and stress free. Highly recommend her to anyone!

I’m sincerely appreciative of Margaret for the specialized service which she offered to me and my family during our recent search for our new home. She made the purchase process bearable and always made herself available to answer questions and address our concerns. Thank you for your partnership, Margaret! We will think of you first as our preferred real estate professional in the next couple of years when we’re ready to secure another property. I highly recommend Margaret as a professional and knowledgeable real estate agent.

Margaret was extremely helpful in assisting us in our purchase of a new home. She was incredibly patient for weeks while we considered places. Once we found what we wanted, she helped communicate with the seller's agent and helped us navigate the purchase process. We were very glad we had Margaret as our guide throughout the entire homebuying experience.

Margaret did an amazing job negotiating and securing our new home. She walked us through every step of the way and she consistently promoted our interest throughout the purchase process. Margaret also has great insight into our local real estate market and having Margaret by our side was a tremendous benefit to us. We highly recommend Margaret for any real estate transaction in the bay area.

I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Margaret Comb as she guided us through the process of purchasing our first wonderful home in San Ramon, CA.
