Proud of our girl
Growing up in Smithfield, Virginia, Maggie Drake is a proud Alumna of Old Dominion University, where she was an English major. After teaching middle school English for six years, Maggie wanted to find a career that provided her more time with her family and a more consistent work-life balance. And after having worked with a top-notch realtor when going through the home-buying process, Maggie felt real estate would be the perfect fit for her. “My real estate agent made a really intimidating experience feel like a breeze, and being a teacher, I have always wanted to help others. Real estate is the perfect career for me to fulfill that desire to help others and make lasting impacts on their lives.”
So, when Maggie was looking for a place to call home in the real estate industry, OWN felt comfortable from the moment she walked in the door. Not only did she find everyone to be so caring towards her, but having been a teacher herself, Maggie loves OWN's values when it comes to continued learning.
Outside of working, Maggie loves nothing more than getting lost in the fictional world. In addition to reading, Maggie loves to cook. And with an Italian background and heritage, Maggie has loved creating the Italian recipes she was taught at a young age and making them with her four-year-old daughter!
Welcome to OWN, Maggie! We are thrilled to have you! ✨
