Expert guidance to buy, sell, or rent in Austin,Texas.

Your Next Address Awaits

Margaret Manifold is an Austin-based real estate advisor with The Heyday Group, specializing in buyer representation across the Austin metro area. She works both independently with her own clients and alongside top-producing agent Meredith Alderson on buyer transactions, giving her clients the advantage of a high-level team and proven systems.

Margaret is known for her strategic, client-first approach. In a fast-moving market like Austin, buyers need more than access—they need advocacy, clarity, and strong negotiation. Margaret helps her clients cut through the noise, make confident decisions, and secure the right home without unnecessary stress or overpaying.

Originally from Auburn, Alabama, Margaret graduated from Auburn University where she was a co-ed collegiate cheerleader—an experience that shaped her discipline, teamwork, and ability to perform under pressure. After living in Washington, D.C. and Tennessee, she moved to Austin more than six years ago and quickly made it home.

Margaret loves working with people from all backgrounds and believes the best real estate outcomes come from honest guidance, strong relationships, and smart strategy. Whether you’re buying your first home or making a strategic move, she brings energy, precision, and fierce advocacy to every client she represents.

What Google Reviews Say

“Margaret helped my wife and me find our perfect first home. She was a great companion to have every step of the way, was personable, and never pressured us to make a decision due to external factors. I am positive your experience with her in whatever real estate fashion you ask for her help with will end up in the result you desire. Not just a realtor. She’s a genuine human in a wild market.”
