Personal
Margaret R. Steele moved to the Vineyard with her family in the late 40's, was schooled and married on the mainland, but returned to purchase a home in the 60's. She has four children and four grandchildren scattered across the country. Margaret is a longtime sailor and spends the summer season aboard the trawler Illusion moored off the Edgartown Lighthouse, and holds a 50 ton Coast Guard license. The rest of the year, home is just a block from the harbor in Edgartown village and a short walk to Lighthouse Beach and Sheriff’s Meadow Preserve.

Seeing her company through over a quarter of a century of subtle changes in how business is done on Martha's Vineyard, Margaret is exhilarated to be able to offer 21st century technology to customers and clients to better serve them. She and her partner Bill LeRoyer are determined to keep their company in the forefront of Vineyard real estate while enjoying the timeless art of communication and discovering new friends and neighbors as Harborside Realty enters its fifth decade of business on this small Island off Cape Cod .
