Meet Maggie
It's all about you.
At least that's the way it should be when buying or selling your home. My goal is to put you at the center of the process - from listening to your needs to talking you through each step - whether you're looking to buy or sell your own home or acquire investment property. Representing my clients is an honor I take seriously, and I take great care to manage each relationship efficiently, competently and with compassion. If you're looking for a professional partner for your real estate needs, we're going to make a good team. Past clients agree.
Learning along the way.
There are two strong common threads throughout my work experience: community involvement and the ability to succeed under pressure. I am goal oriented and will make your goal mine. I have a multi-tiered work background: years of experience running and growing a community-based business as the owner of several Great Harvest Bread Company bakeries in Seattle; public high school teacher in New York City; high school Assistant Principal in Billings, Montana; and Peace Corps volunteer. Persistence, patience, the importance of trust and the skills of listening are stand-outs among the many things I have learned along the way. I am active in my community, having been a Trustee of Laurelhurst Community Club for the past 10+ years, honored with a Good Neighbor Award in 2005. Clients have chosen me as "Best in Client Satisfaction" Award Winner since 2006 - Seattle Magazine & Northwest Home and Garden
From Montana to Malaysia
I was born and raised in Montana. I received a BA and MA from the University of Montana in Missoula. After college, I went from there to serve in the Peace Corps in Malaysia. I moved to Seattle in 1985, settling in my present home in NE Seattle. My husband and I enjoy time at our cottage on Birch Bay, skiing at Whistler, relaxing with our kids and grandkids and just life in wonderful Seattle. If you see me walking through the neighborhood with my dog, Annie, please stop and say "hello".

"Maggie is fantastic. Fantastic experience, thank you." Todd & Melanie
"We are so lucky to have you in our corner." Andy & Shelley
"Thanks for all the work you are doing, Maggie. You have really made this process easy for us and we are so glad you are involved." Nathan
"You have been a true professional. From our initial meeting when you provided us with an information presentation of our soon to be for sale house, our first impression of you was that you were the best. The booklet you put together for us that illustrated relevant statistics i.e., cost, square footage, and potential was of great help to us in seeing the complete picture.
You were in constant communication with us, keeping us informed on all aspects of selling our house. You were great in taking charge and personnally taking care of things that we were unable to do. Thanks to your perseverance, our house went on the market and sold in two days-- it is hard to believe that we had six potential buyers in such short time. This is definitely a credit to your passion for your job and your knowledge of the real estate market at this particular time.
Thank you." Ted and Emalie Harris
"I had the pleasure of working with Maggie Weissman when I was buying my first home. Being a first time home buyer, I needed a real estate agent who was both very experienced and resourceful. There were many strengths and skills that I admired in Maggie. She's very organized, enthusiastic, and hard working. She never made me feel my needs or questions were neglected. Her constant positive attitude and communication skills helped to make progress during unusual legal issues that arose while I was buying my home and helped to push things through efficiently. Maggie knew how to listen to my concerns when things became intense and emotional. She was able to collaborate effectively with others on my behalf. I was able to rely on her which is quite important when you are making such a big financial decision. I would highly recommend Maggie as a real estate agent to anyone buying a home. " Eunju
