Margaret C. "Maggie" Howell Travis

Expert guidance through a complex commercial property closing

As a small business owner, navigating the purchase of a new commercial space in Miami was daunting. I chose Maggie Travis at Driver, McAfee, Hawthorne & Diebenow based on her focused real estate background, and it was the best decision I could have made. While her profile notes her recognition in real estate law, her on-the-ground expertise was even more impressive. She meticulously reviewed every line of the purchase agreement, identified several unfavorable clauses regarding maintenance responsibilities that I would have missed, and negotiated strongly on my behalf. Her explanations were clear, devoid of unnecessary jargon, and she was always responsive, even during evenings as we approached the closing date. Maggie’s diligence from her University of Florida training was evident throughout. The transaction closed smoothly, and I have complete peace of mind with my new property. For anyone needing sharp, attentive real estate counsel in South Florida, I cannot recommend Maggie Travis highly enough.
