Laif was great to work with. Very helpful, knowledgeable, and honest. We were under a strict timeline to complete a 1031 exchange and he made the process seamless with our realtor in the Bay Area. Absolutely amazing work by Laif and his team. We are very happy with our new homes in the greater Sacramento area.

Thank you to the whole team for the great job done in finding and securing one of the nicest homes in the area for us. The Margaretich Team are highly professional in all aspects of real estate and are very friendly as well, a combination that can’t be beat. My first choice if I’m buying or selling. I want the best team in my corner. Thanks again Team, well done!

Laif, Mary and Susana at Margaretich Realty were absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish with the sale of my home. The excellent communication, transparency, market insight, improvement/staging recommendations and guidance made the otherwise daunting process of selling my home seamless and easy. I highly recommend Team Margaretich to anyone looking to sell their home. Thank you Team Margaretich for all of your help and support!

Laif was referred to me by the agent who sold my family property in a different area of the state. Laif and the entire Margaretich team are personable, knowledgeable of the area and the real estate market in general, and were patient and helpful with this anxious first-time homebuyer. Without them, I would still be scrambling for a place to live. Thank you!

Laif and Mary are the most fabulous realtors around. They supported us through an incredibly challenging relocation last year and helped us secure a beautiful place on a really tight timeline. A year later, they continue to be a great resource and make sure we are all settling in well. They are also doing a great job helping my parents with a land purchase. When Laif helped us buy our house, he was responsive, reliable, knowledgeable, kind, honest and hardworking. It was a whirlwind, but he did what it took to pull off a complicated deal. We highly recommend them!

Mary Margaretich and her team are fantastic. We have purchased three homes and sold one home with them and couldn't be happier. We will work with them again on our next sale or purchase!

The experience was great and the Kimberly my realtor was real responsive and helpful in helping obtain my property. When I was on vacation she would take the time and go out to check out a property on my behalf and FaceTime so we could could review everything. She was real helpful and would go above and beyond to help! That goes for Jenny as well. Both were real helpful and I can’t stress that enough!! Be rest assured that if you work with this real estate agency you are in great hands and they will help you with anything.

I love the Margaretich Team at Sereno Realty! Mary Margaretich has been my go to realtor since 2013. There aren't enough words to describe how amazing this team is. They are always kind, helpful and professional. A special thanks to Susana Knox and Mary Margaretich for taking good care of my Dad when he needed a house and again when we needed to sell it. I would highly recommend the Margaretich Team. :)

We found it pleasant and effective to work with the Margaretich team. The listing data was put together quickly and we loved the video they did. Our house sold quickly. Closing took awhile because the buyer's lender was maddeningly slow, but Mary diligently followed the progress all along the way, motivating and nudging the buyer as needed, and ensured that closing was finally completed.

The group dynamic of this Realestate company was perfect! The quality of film crew was amazing, the video made me want to buy my own place! They told us what they could get for our house and hit the mark perfectly. I would recommend this Realestate company over any other!!

When I decided to move from the Bay Area to Grass Valley, I heard of real estate horror stories: bidding wars, prices skyrocketing and properties selling for way above asking price. I knew I needed a good real estate agency and agent. I was told by a friend who lived in Alta Sierra to use The Margaretich Team, Sereno Real Estate. Mary Margaretich arranged for her agent, Jenny Miller, to show me around Grass Valley to the various neighborhoods that were in my price range, and both were wonderfully kind and helpful. Jenny met us at many different properties and was always in touch, while we were looking at the properties and afterwards. Since I lived in the Bay Area, Jenny was happy to check them out for me first and send me all the info before I would come up to check them out. She was so helpful with her excellent knowledge of all the Grass Valley and Nevada City areas. It was a crazy ride, but I was able to buy a beautiful home in our price range and even in the neighborhood that I thought would suit me the best! I most definitely could not have done this without Mary and Jenny. Mary was so helpful to me in understanding the process and she was always available to me, day and night. She really took care of me well during the negotiation, closing, and even after closing. If you’re looking for a great house in the Grass Valley/Nevada City area, I highly recommend using the Margaretich Team - Sereno Real Estate. Ask for Mary.

It was a pleasure working with Mary and her team - they helped to make our move go smoothly.
We never thought our home to sell so quickly, Mary and her team met all of our expectations - and more! They found the perfect family for our home; we've been able to keep in touch with our buyers.

I have recommended Sereno, Mary, and her team to others and would do it again. They made us feel like the most important people in their business lives.
Thank you Margaretich team!

We couldn't have been happier with our experience as clients of multiple sales with the Margaretich team. Our properties had several unique and challenging elements related to their sales including long drives, large acreage, and unique features that required an appreciation and knowledge of the property to bring out their best selling points. Laif consistently went above and beyond to meet our needs and do whatever was needed to show and sell our properties. I've never worked with a realtor who was willing to as much as Laif did, with competence, to sell a property. We couldn't have asked more from the whole team and all of their efforts paid off with successful sales in every case. They took on our properties as if they were selling their own real estate and that kind of investment from a partner always has positive results. Thank you again Laif, Mary and Susana, it was a pleasure to work with each of you.

We worked with Laif to find out dream home. Laif is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to home quality/construction, and he’s PATIENT. A great quality to have when you have to deal with picky buyers like us. ☺️ He was a great middle man when it came to providing us information from the listing agent.

Laif was a pleasure to work with. He was responsive and understood our needs. We were moving from another state so it was a little more difficult but he was happy to do video showings. When it’s time to make a move we will not hesitate to call on Laif and his team again.

We were very pleased with the professionalism and service we received from Laif McClellan and the Margaretich Team at Re/Max Gold on our recent sale of property in North San Juan. Laif was very responsive to all communications and handled every detail on getting the property ready for sale through the final sale and getting the deal closed. Being inexperienced in real estate transactions can cause high stress levels. We feel fortunate that we were with the Margaretich Team as their knowledge and communications on explaining and keeping us informed made the transaction painless! Good job Laif!

Can’t say enough good about the Margaretich team. Mary, Britica and Laif have gone above and beyond for us. They made escrow a breeze and walked us through the whole process as first time home buyers. We really felt taken care of through it all and even had fun through what can be a stressful time. So grateful for them!!!

Mary and her team get it done! She is my go to real estate agent. They've sold a couple houses for me and I've purchased a couple. They've worked with my friends and family also. It was always a painless process and I always here positive feedback. If you want to work with a real estate agent that has years of experience in Nevada County and knows what to do to get it sold or probably even has something listed that will work for you if you're looking to buy. Call Mary and her team you won't regret it.

When we decided to downsize to a smaller house with less property, our daughter highly recommended her, as she found her a wonderful house and a great deal. After several houses shown to us, Mary not only found us a beautiful home, but suggested how we could make it very affordable.
She was not only incredibly patient, but honest and tough enough to keep both us and the seller (and the other Realtor) moving and on track.
We enjoyed dealing with her so much, we asked her to list the home we had lived in. Not only did she list it, but promoted it, and found some imaginative financing for the buyers.
As you can see, we are extremely happy with Mary’s work and will not hesitate to recommend her services to anybody in the market. She is a solid professional

I have heard from many satisfied homeowners that Mary "goes above and beyond" for her clients. I love to tell people looking for an agent about Mary because I know she will help them find what they are looking for.
