What Our Clients and Colleagues Are Saying About Us
Peggy demonstrated professionalism, market knowledge, and compassion in every step of the way. She made herself available to me at all hours (early morning and late night). I always felt connected and in the loop. She met and surpassed all of my real estate needs…
ERIC G. - UPTOWN DALLAS

DAVE AND DANIELLE M. - FAR NORTH DALLAS
From the moment we began working with Peggy, we were amazed as to how diligent and resilient she was. She always made herself available to us regardless of where she was. Her attention to detail was marvelous…
KEN AND KATHY T. - PLANO
About my experience with Peggy Millheiser – it was a pleasure in every way. She was available when I needed her, ready with helpful suggestions – and best of all, managed a sale the first day on the job! I certainly would recommend her. I’m just sorry, in a way, that it was over so quickly!
EVELYN E. - NORTH DALLAS
Peggy Millheiser was the realtor I chose to help me sell my father’s house. The house had been previously listed with another company and did not sell. That experience gave me a lot to compare what Ebby Halliday and Peggy did to market the house. What she did may be standard for Ebby Halliday, but went far beyond my expectations. I should have chosen Peggy in the first place. I’ll certainly recommend her to my friends.
JEAN R. - EAST DALLAS
After 25 years in the business I do not believe I can say I have worked with another agent that has been as professional and hands-on as Peggy. In my opinion she really went beyond the call of duty and her customers were extremely lucky to have her in their court. She truly was a pleasure to work with and I surely wish our industry had more agents like her.
PHYLLIS G. - RE/MAX BROKER ASSOCIATE
I recently had the privilege of working with Dave to find a home for my mother to be closer to our family. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Dave's professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for our family's specific needs.
From the beginning, Dave took the time to understand our needs and what we were looking for in a home. He was patient, thorough, and always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. Dave's vast knowledge of the local real estate market and his attention to detail helped us find the perfect home for my mother.
