Raleigh Roots. Real Estate Results.

Although born in Atlanta, GA, I’ve lived in Raleigh since 1959 and proudly consider myself a native “Raleighite” and North Carolina Tar Heel at heart. Since graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1974, I’ve been happily married to a true Raleigh native, Howard Margulies—a proud ECU graduate and ardent Pirate fan. Howard is the COO of United Restaurant Equipment Company, a respected family business established in 1952 by his father, Jesse Margulies.

Our two sons were raised and educated in Wake County Public Schools before attending and graduating from Indiana University at Bloomington. Our elder son lives in the Chicago area with his wife and three children. He enjoys a successful career in commercial real estate with Marcus & Millichap, specializing in property acquisitions such as shopping centers. Our younger son lives in Raleigh with his wife and three children and now leads the third generation of United Restaurant Equipment Company.

My passions include our family—especially our six grandchildren—supporting our wonderful local restaurants, and enjoying the Triangle’s exceptional cultural scene. I’m an avid supporter of NC Theatre, the NC Museum of Art, and the Museum of Natural Sciences, and have proudly cheered on the Carolina Hurricanes as a season ticket holder for over 20 years.

There is simply no better place to live, work, play, and raise a family than the Triangle area. That’s why I’ve loved introducing newcomers to my hometown as a Residential Real Estate Broker since 1987. I find tremendous satisfaction in helping buyers and sellers achieve their housing dreams—and I look forward to continuing to build long-term client relationships through outstanding service, professionalism, and exceptional results.
