About the Agency
Margot VanePrincipal Broker, Harlow & Vane Estates
Margot Vane spent nine years as an architectural photographer before she sold her first house. She still shoots every listing herself, on film when the light allows, because the way a room is documented is the first promise a buyer is asked to believe. Harlow & Vane represents a small, deliberately short roster of homes each season — never more than a client can be given full attention.
