Welcome Home

I would highly recommend Margaret Schrock and Kelley Cagney of the Schrock Team if you are in the market for selling your property. They were recommended to me and I was very pleased These two possess a keen sense of market strategy, pricing and showcasing the house in its best light. This was the home I grew up in and decided to sell after my mother passed. Margaret and Kelley were sensitive to that and we went at a pace I could manage. This team has a great set of vendors which I used. Every room was wallpapered and Margaret recommended we take it all down and just paint the inside of the house white. Perfect. Please consider them for your Real es...

I cannot speak highly enough of Kelley Cagney and Margaret Schrock from Hedge Realty. They recently helped us sell one of our properties, and their service was nothing short of exceptional. As we live out of state, we were initially concerned about managing the sale remotely. However, Kelley and Margaret went completely above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. From the very beginning, they demonstrated an incredible level of dedication and professionalism. They took charge of prepping the house for sale, handling numerous tasks that we couldn’t manage from afar. Their attention to detail and commitment to presenting our property in the b...

Thanks to Margaret & Kelley, the whole process was amazing! Quick, personal, professional and efficient. From the onset of the project, everything you stated happened - from the price, your schedule, to the close of escrow. What an incredible team!

We cannot rave enough about our experience with Margaret during our search and recent purchase of a home in Sonoma County! Her knowledge of the process, the market and all the intangibles of home buying - like helping this city-dwelling couple navigate the particulars of buying a country home - were all indispensable. Margaret and her partner Kelley are super-responsive, anticipatory and eminently prepared for any curveballs that may arise.

It was a pleasure to work with Margaret Schrock for our Petaluma home purchase. She was a true professional from start to finish. She carefully explained and guided us through each step of the home buying process. We were fortunate enough to have our very first offer accepted, and we are convinced that it was Margaret's expertise and thoughtful strategy that allowed us to be successful. When complications arose during the contract period, Margaret was a capable and reassuring presence who kept the process moving forward. Margaret is clearly well connected and highly respected in the community, which is an asset to any real estate search. We wouldn't...

We had a great experience working with Margaret! Her knowledge of the Sebastopol market helped set our expectations and focus our search on properties that best fit our needs and budget. As first time homebuyers, we appreciated Margaret’s frank, yet kind, guidance throughout the process. Her positive attitude helped us keep our spirits up when things didn’t go our way! Margaret’s direct, pro-active communication, attention to detail, and willingness to problem solve made the difference in us getting our new home. For these reasons and many more, we would highly recommend Margaret and her team to anyone looking to buy a property in Sonoma County.

When we decided to move we started looking for an agent to help us find a house in Petaluma and Petra connected with Margaret. After looking at some houses we invited her to come and visit our house in Marin to give her a better idea what we were looking for and she understood right away what was important to us. At this point we also realized that Margaret understood how important it was for us to make the right moves to sell our house in Marin. She understood so well that she helped us prepare the house for sale and sold it all within three weeks. Two days before we accepted the offer for our house in Marin, she showed us our dream house in Petalu...

My wife was drawn to Margaret's bio she saw online. We didn't know anyone in Petaluma. Once we met Margaret in person, we quickly decided she was the one for us. Margaret's intimate knowledge of Petaluma and her friendly, honest personality made us fee very comfortable. We couldn't be more impressed with Margaret. We would not have been able to purchase our home in West Petaluma without following Margaret's advice about how to structure the terms of the offer. She understood what was important to the sellers by studying their situation and talking extensively to the selling agent. She's an excellent listener. Margaret's also easy to talk to, percept...

Margaret worked with us over many, many years until we found the house we finally purchased. Throughout the process, Margaret was informative, supportive and a wealth of resources, especially in getting our old house ready to sell. She guided us on how to prepare our home for market. We ended up with 10 offers and sold our home for $250,000 over the list price. Initially, we were reluctant to follow some of the recommendations Margaret made to get our house ready to sell, but we ultimately did and realized our house looked much better and wished we had made those changes while still living in it.

Margaret is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the market. She was always available for texts, calls, and emails and was willing to work with us as first-time buyers with a low down payment. In the end, we got the house we wanted because Margaret was able to tell us about a house that had just become available. We felt confident in her expertise and feel lucky to be working with her. She also recommended a lender and contractors that we've enjoyed working with.

We just completed our 6th residential property sale, and it was by far our most successful transaction. From start to finish, Margaret’s communication and response time was impeccable. The pricing strategy was spot on and was fully complemented by her marketing plan which led to a rapid sale. We were also very impressed with her knowledge of the local market and relationships with other active Agents. All of this led to very happy clients!

We were new to Petaluma and Margaret's knowledge of the local real estate market was invaluable to us. She was extremely responsive and knowledgeable throughout the entire process - from getting in to see houses as soon as they were available to putting together an offer and reading the disclosures and inspections all the way through our escrow and closing process. And the help didn't end when we closed - she gave us amazing recommendations for contractors to get needed work done.

Margaret was a terrific and encouraging team leader. She was very resourceful and full of wonderful ideas. We felt like we were in the hands of someone who really cared and respected us as clients.

Margaret gave us great guidance from the first moment we considered listing our house. She knew exactly what to do with staging, timing and marketing, and was with us every step of the way. Margaret made what could have been a stressful time a straightforward process, and helped figure out how to get our house sold on our timeline. She absolutely surpassed our expectations — we received multiple offers over asking, and negotiated to get the deal that worked best for us. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Margaret — she is a savvy, honest real estate pro takes great pride in helping clients successfully navigate this crazy market. Thank you, Mar...

Through a colleague's referral, we contacted Margaret for her help in purchasing our first home in Santa Rosa or Sebastopol area. It was the best call that we made. Not only does Margaret know the Sonoma County real estate market well, she is extremely personable, patient and makes you feel comfortable with the entire home-buying process. She gets to know you so she can understand your needs and expectations. Even after many months of searching, looking at various property types as we narrowed down our wants, Margaret maintained her good sense of humor and always gave us sound advice. Margaret found us a great property in a highly desirable Santa Ro...

Seven months into the pandemic, and two weeks before the presidential election, my husband and I began the process of trying to buy our first home. I know what you're thinking: "Surely you are describing some kind of reality show? About the limits of stress that the human condition can endure?" And truly, it was a lot. But cutting through the chaos was our own personal warrior queen: Margaret Schrock. Margaret is sharp, kind, candid, warm and funny and a terrific agent to boot. She notices little details about a house that can have big implications. She is protective of her clients when they get heart eyes for a money pit. And she goes to bat for yo...

Margaret was recommended to me by a friend. I had also contacted two other brokers before choosing Margaret. The key strategic decision was to determine the asking price. Margaret suggested a price that would encourage interest and possibly generate multiple offers. The strategy worked and we received 7 offers all at or above the asking price. The strategy was a good way to determine the actual market value of the property. The property sold quickly considerable over the asking price! Margaret was very good about listening to my objectives in the sale of the property. She was very responsive in communications and provided excellent advice in answeri...

It was a pleasure working with Margaret Schrock! She explained the process step by step and answered all our questions quickly and clearly, always making sure what method of communication was best for that particular moment. Our house sold on the first day of listing. There initial offer was above asking, but she explained to us that an appraisal was needed and that the final price may not be as high. I appreciate that she was not trying to sugarcoat the situation, so when the appraisal did come lower than the high offer, it was not a shock. At the end of the day, the property sold for what we initially wanted, which in our mind was going to be the ...

Moving can be quite a challenge! But if you choose the perfect realtor the process becomes much easier. My husband and I have moved several times including from East Coast to West Coast and have considerable experience with the venture. Working with Margaret Schrock was the best decision we made. Her knowledge of the Petaluma market, the intricacies of contracting and her professionalism all made the experience very positive. We received top dollar for our home and never had to list it and we were able to successfully purchase the home we chose. A very good experience from beginning to closing. No hesitation to recommend Margaret for your next home ...

Margaret Schrock was a fantastic agent for us. She is extremely knowledgeable about Petaluma and the real estate market there. Margaret spent a lot of time initially getting to know us and listening to our preferences and limitations. She was thoughtful about our time and which places she showed us. Margaret guided us in the direction to buy the house that she knew to be the best choice for our family, given her experience. But, most importantly, she helped us to craft a thoughtful offer. We got our home on the first bid! The home exceeds the expectation of what we thought we could get in our price range. Margaret is the best!

My family moved to Petaluma in 2015, and it would have been a lot more difficult if not for Margaret. She was a lot of fun to work with friendly and giving of her time, but also focused and aggressive with our house hunt. She brought us up to speed on every details of the local market, gave us tours of neighborhoods and wrestled with the pros and cons of our options. Whenever homes came on the market, she quickly alerted us and got us in for a viewing. When it came to making decisions, she was professional and collaborative. Despite a tough market, we found a great house that my wife and two daughters love.

I cannot thank Margaret enough for her patience and perseverance in helping me find a home. Being fairly new to the area, it took me a while to get used to the price of homes here so I really had to change and evolve my expectations during the search. Even still, she always showed a keen sense of what I was looking for and was very quick to show me relevant listings and provide insight. During the entire process, Margaret was gracious, fun to work with and always available. In the end, I purchased a beautiful condo right in the area I wanted to be and couldn’t be happier! I highly recommend Margaret.

I have known Margaret Schrock for years and my experience with her for this transaction was nothing less than excellent. The transaction involved contingencies on multiple properties both in and out of state. Margaret went above and beyond to handle and coordinate efforts on a protracted timeline. We were in constant communication and she helped me make important decisions to get the most value for my property. I would recommend Margaret to anyone looking for a "partner" in the sales process. Well done

Having known Margaret for over a decade, we chose her our realtor because we know she is professional, efficient, and a great communicator. Now that our real estate transaction is complete, we recommend her absolutely. She was a pure joy to work with. In addition to knowing the current market, she is very creative, direct, and fun. You should have no reservations about hiring Margaret for your real estate needs! You will be well taken care of and have fun in the process. Oh, and she sold our home in 1 week for $91,000 over list price, with 14 offers received!

Dear Margaret, Now that the home sale is final, I want to say what a pleasure it’s been to have you as our representative. Your diligence and professionalism made the entire process from listing to closing easy to follow and understand. Even when it seemed like you were working 24/7 to find just the right Buyer, you always found time for us. We have no hesitation in recommending you to any of our friends or associates as their Realtor. I have no doubt they will be as pleased as we were with the excellent service you provided. A big thank you.

Margaret stuck with us for over a year and a half as we searched (and searched!) for our first home. She was a persistent, responsive, flexible and reliable agent the whole way through. As first time home buyers, we had a great number of questions, and Margaret patiently provided the guidance and resources we needed to narrow in on our priorities for our home and get through the home searching and home buying process. We are thrilled to be settled in our house at long last!

We hired Margaret to sell a family home. Working with here was great, she was communicative, responsive and professional throughout the transaction, helping us navigate through all the paperwork and details that come with the real estate. We sold the home in one week for above the asking price, a very seamless transaction! We will use Margaret's service again in the future and recommend her to anyone selling or buying property.

Margaret understood the key objectives of our project instantly at our initial phone call and was able to start providing us with insights and information of the local market. Throughout the entire process, she was on top of everything and kept us up to speed. This was one of the smoothest real estate transactions we had ever had mainly because of Margaret. We can't think of better agent than Margaret.

Margaret Schrock managed the sale of our home and the purchase of our new house. Margaret was professional, competent, thorough, friendly and cheerful throughout the process. Margaret helped to ease the transition from old to new, managing expectations and providing a calm presence throughout the process. We would gladly recommend her service to any considering entering the real estate market.

Margaret was a pro from start to finish. My wife and I kissed a lot of frogs before we found the right home for our family, and she never made us feel like we were imposing. She made sure we were the back up offer on our dream home, which we had under bid. And when the lead offer went back asking for Sizable credits, she guided us to secure the deal. Easy to refer Margaret without reservation.

As an out-of-towner looking to purchase a condo in Petaluma, my wife and I felt lucky to have stumbled across Margaret in our search. Margaret listened close to our needs and quickly found the right home for us. She led us through the process with the right amount of due diligence right through the closing. Her professionalism was much appreciated, highly recommend.

Integrity, Tenacity, Advocacy. Margaret Schrock found me a condo when I didn’t think I could afford one. She listened while I decide on it. Then she crafted an offer so good it beat out another one $10,000 higher! Usually she answers my questions before I can think them up. I trust her to be on top of every detail. “Integrity, Tenacity, Advocacy,” she says. I agree.

Margaret is a smart, talented, and generous woman. We always felt that she had our best interests at heart and that she held our hand through buying our first house. She pointed out deal breakers and answered all of our questions. We consider her our friend and feel that we can ask her advice on anything related to our home.

The experience we had with Margaret was excellent! She is truly a professional with experience. I felt like she really listened to our requirements for a home and we were able to find that home in a very short period of time. I recommend her without reservation as one of Petaluma's top realtors.

Wow! I sold my home in less than a week all thanks to Margaret Schrock. She is personable, pays attention to every detail, is a great negotiator and an excellent communicator. The process was seamless every step of the way and I am honored to give her my highest recommendation.

Working with Margaret to sell our house of 29 years was quite a pleasure. Her knowledge and experience were absolutely instrumental in getting results and selling our house as quickly as possible. We would definitely recommend Margaret to anyone who is looking to buy or sell.

Margaret was wonderful! Always available with answers and help, really understood what I was looking for. The whole process was fun and I am a happy homeowner. And this was my real estate transaction with Margaret!

Margaret was very professional and kept me well informed throughout the transaction process. She is very proactive in her approach and I would highly recommend her to prospective buyers or sellers.

I’ve already recommended Margaret. Professional, personable, confident, directive, and humorous from first handshake to call right after closing. I always knew I was in good hands.

Professional, knowledgeable, friendly and great to work with!

Working with Margaret was a dream - she totally understood our property and the target buyer. She did all kinds of large and small things to make the property more enticing. She went above and beyond to make the entire process easy for us and stress-free. We found her through a referral and we'll now be referring her to anyone we know who needs a top-notch realtor. Thank you!!!

We had a tight schedule and Margaret Schrock and Kelley Cagney helped us immensely with our house purchase options. They provided a wealth of experience (and lots of patience!) to make the whole process stress free. We really enjoyed working with them and highly recommend Margaret, Kelley and their team!

I couldn't have been more pleased than being able to have Margaret as my real estate agent. She went far beyond the extra mile in helping me sell my home under very trying circumstances. She always made me feel that I was the most important person she had as a client and was always there whenever I needed to call, email or text her. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling their home you will get someone who is a total professional and she really will care about your situation. A++"

"We were in touch with Margaret over the course of 18 months as we explored selling our home. She was always available for thoughtful advice and great recommendations for folks like home inspectors and movers. Flexibility and timing were important to us in the sale of our home, and we appreciate Margaret's strategic approach. Her read on the Petaluma market was very current, and she helped us sell our home off market at a competitive price and with the option to rent back. She really understood our needs and provided expert guidance every step of the way! "

Margaret has an unmatched knowledge of the local landscape in Sonoma County. Not only did we trust her implicitly with how much we should spend, the value of what we were getting, but she also continued to help us with valuation after the purchase. She represented us wonderfully with one house that wasn’t meant to be ours - then she found us an off market listing that became our dream home. There’s no one better!

Margaret's professionalism, responsiveness, and knowledge are a combination that make her so easy to work with. We had a great experience and definitely recommend Margaret and her team!

We had been looking to downsize for several years. We went to an open house, not expecting anything. Lo and behold it ticked all our boxes. We had no hope that this could work, but called Margaret anyway. She talked us through a scenario where we could make a contingency offer (rare to be accepted these days, but worth a try). She worked her magic, and within a few days we had our offer accepted and an offer on our house that was well above asking price with no contingencies! Her communication skills are stellar with all parties concerned. She handled this complex transaction with professionalism, integrity and concern for our best interests. She sc...
