Meet Margaret A. Jones
WHAT ARE THREE WORDS YOUR CLIENTS WOULD USE TO DESCRIBE YOU?
Professional, Diplomatic, Hard-Working
​
WHAT MOST EXCITES YOU ABOUT YOUR WORK?
For most of my clients, buying a home(s) is the largest financial undertaking of their lifetime. It brings me great joy to not only guide them throughout the process with expertise, but to witness the results as well.
WHERE CAN WE FIND YOU WHEN YOU'RE NOT WORKING?
In the kitchen. I was trained professionally at the Culinary Institute of America, and have worked under the tutelage of a 2-star Michelin Chef. I make the absolute best chocolate chip cookies, and I invite you to try them out at any of my upcoming Open Houses.
​
WHAT WAS THE HAPPIEST MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE?
The moment by daughter entered my life. She was born in Geneva, Switzerland in winter. I took advantage of all the fondue and raclettes I could!
​
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HOBBY?
Cooking, Car Racing, Visual Art (I draw and paint), Squash (former Division I) and learning new languages. I studied Arabic, Russian, Mandarin, and am fluent in French.
