Megan Micco, Realtor - Berkeley, California

George B.

This review is long overdue and frankly we have been very busy settling into the home Megan helped us find. Our home search initially began in Lafayette, but after some time, we realized we desired a more diverse setting and redirected our search to Berkeley. Megan came highly recommended by our Lafayette agent, and she exceeded all our expectations. We had very little idea about the Berkeley neighbourhoods but a clear list of what we wanted in the area we live. Megan was invaluable in helping us explore different neighborhoods and quickly eliminate others based on our feedback after visiting open houses.

We were thrilled when we found a mid-century home in the Berkeley Hills. The combination of serenity, proximity to local parks, and the ability to walk to Kensington checked all the boxes for us. Megan's knowledge and insights into the local market were instrumental in guiding us to this hidden gem.

We are new to the area and country so were very unaware of the complexities of buying in Berkeley. Working with Megan was an absolute delight. She was patient, funny, and made the entire process enjoyable. Her enthusiasm and dedication were evident in every interaction, and she went above and beyond to ensure we had all the information we needed. From providing detailed resources on estimated construction costs to navigating the complicated California home insurance market, Megan was there every step of the way.

Megan’s lifelong residency in the area truly shines through in her deep understanding of the neighborhoods she works in. Her expertise and passion for her work are unmatched. We wholeheartedly encourage anyone looking for a home in the Berkeley area to reach out to Megan. She is an outstanding real estate agent who will make your home-buying experience a wonderful adventure.

We started out looking for a real estate agent but ended up finding a trusted friend in Megan. From our very first call, her inquiry into our needs felt compassionate and personal. She asked thoughtful questions about our family, lifestyle, and commute considerations to gain a deep understanding of what we needed in a home - including many things we hadn’t even considered ourselves.

Our search began with a broad focus but narrowed as we worked together to rule out neighborhoods and home styles that didn’t suit us. Eventually, we identified a small geographic area that we were really excited about. When a home in that area came on the market, we were unsure whether we could be competitive with our offer. But supported by Megan’s expert advice, we submitted an offer. Megan stayed in close communication with the listing agent on offer day, and after a small price adjustment, we won our dream home.

We’ve already installed a shed, are working on window restoration, and have other projects underway, all thanks to Megan’s recommendations. It feels incredibly gratifying to be in community with Megan and to be building wealth through homeownership. I recently reached out to her to discuss electrical bids, and she provided specific advice on lighting design and which projects to prioritize. We are so grateful to have her as an ongoing advisor and encourage you to learn more about how she can help you on your real estate journey. Megan and her team are amazing!

We serendipitously came across Megan’s profile online while searching for an agent deeply immersed in Berkeley real estate. She promptly reached out to learn more about our home search and needs. We really appreciated her warm and direct approach and knew we had found the right agent -- but we realized we weren't in the position to buy at that time. Megan stayed in contact with us, checking in with a friendly touch, and a couple of years later, we decided to try again.

We found a recently renovated, beautiful pitched-gable home in central Berkeley that perfectly suited our family and provided bonus space. Megan arranged a private showing for us, and we fell in love with the house within the first five minutes. She provided direct feedback on what we should consider when deciding on an offer price, and encouraged us to move quickly to avoid missing the opportunity. Given how rough the Bay Area real estate scene can be, we were prepared to make a number of offers before we succeeded, but Megan was spot on, and we were in contract the next day.

Throughout the escrow process, Megan provided ample wisdom and put safeguards in place to protect our financial interests. The sellers offered to clear both the home and pest inspections (which is quite rare), and Megan ensured that the full punch list was completed. She even helped us track down water usage bills to confirm there were no leaks. And now that we've closed, I have meetings scheduled with a contractor, painter, cabinet maker, shed company, and landscaper to explore little things we might do before we move in a few weeks -- all of them are recommendations from Megan, and all have been incredibly responsive.

One final thing -- during the final walkthrough, Megan was especially attentive to our son, making sure he felt cared for and connecting with him on his level. When we talked about our favorite and least favorite parts of the day, Megan was his highlight. Overall, she was a fantastic fit for our family, and we built a personal connection with her. If you’re looking for someone with deep local expertise and true compassion, look no further.

In a fortuitous turn of events, our daughter ended up working as a social media intern for Megan’s company during her final year at UC Berkeley. As we considered relocating to Berkeley, our daughter spoke highly of Megan’s expertise and deep knowledge of the local real estate market. Over the months of working with her, we came to truly appreciate Megan’s insights into the neighborhoods, her straightforward approach, and the genuine warmth and care she showed us throughout the process. We ultimately purchased a beautifully renovated mid-century home with serene tree-lined views nestled in the Berkeley Hills. We are thrilled to be moving closer to friends and family. We give Megan our highest recommendation and encourage you to reach out to her to learn more about how she can provide you with as great an experience as we have had.

I'd trust Megan to guide me through this process 100 times over! She did an excellent job addressing our questions and concerns about the properties we were interested in. Megan provided valuable advice and resources on potential updates for listings, answered all of our questions (from fog horns to finances), and helped us feel confident throughout the entire process. As first-time homebuyers, Megan's knowledge and candor put us at ease, and I had no doubt that she was working her magic behind the scenes to ensure we were making competitive and reasonable offers. We feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Megan and could not recommend her more!

We were looking for a unicorn property in Berkeley under a tight time constraint, and I was doubtful we would find one. Miraculously, a unique property in a great location came on the market just as we began our search. Megan had already seen the property prior to us reaching out, and she helped us evaluate if it would make sense for us, including showing us other properties of similar value. She was extremely helpful in supporting us make a quick but informed decision, and her market insight (price, supply fluctuations, types of properties) was the key component in our decision-making process.

We felt very secure with Megan's advice, local experience, and warm and friendly nature. When escrow got a little off track, Megan jumped in to improve communication and ensure we were getting everything we needed. We felt listened to, supported, and confident that Megan's primary goal was to help us meet our objectives, not hers. Megan is courteous, professional, experienced, and just a generally great human being. Do yourself a favor and give her a call if you have any real estate needs in Berkeley or the surrounding area.

After a long search, we were fortunate to connect with Megan, a true Berkeley real estate specialist. Her knowledge of the market and strategic approach were invaluable in helping us find our dream home.
Megan was introduced to us by friends who raved about her deep understanding of the Berkeley area. Our search criteria were specific, balancing family needs and location – a challenge in the competitive market. When the perfect property became available, Megan's guidance was crucial. Despite the crowded open houses, she helped us craft a winning offer that stayed within our target budget.

Her expertise extended far beyond developing an offer strategy. Megan lined up a structural engineer for a thorough assessment and meticulously reviewed disclosures to prevent any post-closing surprises. We felt confident knowing we had a dedicated advocate on our side.

Even after closing, Megan has been a tremendous resource, connecting us with a number of reliable vendors. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a passionate, strategic, and knowledgeable realtor in the Berkeley area.

We first met Megan about a year ago when we started our home search, but life got in the way. When our daughter was born a number of months later, we knew it was time to restart our search and put down roots. We re-engaged with Megan and loved her targeted approach, quantitative analysis, and 'can-do' attitude -- she gave us the confidence that we would be able to find a home quickly.

Through patient listening and touring a number of properties Megan quickly came to understand our needs and budget. She also gave us a clear picture of the current market conditions and the price range we'd need to be successful. We soon found a beautifully remodeled home in Oakland's historic Idora Park district. Megan expertly advised us on an offer strategy and put together an amazing package that won us the house on our very first offer!

We're so excited to move in. Megan is not only warm and friendly but also a skilled communicator who delivers outstanding service. We are so thankful to have found her and give her our highest recommendation!
