Get to Know The Hove & Mackie Team
Patient, passionate and highly skilled, Aimee Hove and Lisa Mackie formed the Hove & Mackie Team over their mutual love of the Bay Area, the people who call it home and a desire to raise the bar of real estate service. Part of The Agency Woodside, serving Silicon Valley, the Peninsula, San Francisco and Lake Tahoe regions, the Hove & Mackie Team’s mission is to bring a more personalized approach to the buying and selling process. Both Bay Area natives and local residents, Aimee and Lisa’s respective backgrounds form a powerful duo. Aimee spent almost a decade as an elementary teacher in local schools, empowering her with excellent communication skills and knowledge of the region’s school districts. Lisa spent over 20 years working at luxury interior design brands and magazines via House & Garden/ Conde Nast, Traditional Home/Meredith Corporation and Decorist—giving her not only an elevated style perspective, but a keen understanding of how to market and sell luxury products. Committed to helping clients build wealth through real estate, Lisa and Aimee’s personal experiences and data-driven insights make them invaluable resources and guides for buyers, sellers and property investors.
Buyer Testimonials
Lisa and Aimee went above and beyond from start to finish on my Trillium, San Carlos home sale. My listing was super complicated given it was a trust sale and also needed quite a bit of remodeling/ updating. Their ‘professional ‘can do’ and upbeat attitude made this experience as smooth sailing as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend the Hove & Mackie team to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate. You will not find a more energetic, hard-working, patient, savvy, seamless, and dedicated team to represent all of your real estate needs.
N.KANE
What a pleasant experience to work with Aimee and Lisa. They work great together as a team. They guided us through our move with expertise and compassion. We haven’t been part of the real estate market for 30 years and there were a lot of changes we were not familiar with…the team was knowledgeable and current with real estate transactions and policies. We would definitely recommend them.
