Megan Micco – Realtor

Megan was fantastic throughout our house buying experience. It’s not an easy or simple process, and when your offer is not accepted it can be very disheartening. But Megan was amazing throughout. She was always very clear, knowledgeable and honest. She always gave a (frustratingly!) accurate estimate of what she thought the house would go for and yet still put in the hard work to allow us to keep trying much lower offers, that were inevitably not accepted! She was incredibly patient, kind and hard working through the entire experience, and in the end managed to get us the perfect house for a very reasonable price. We are so happy, and feel so lucky to have found her. We could not recommend her more highly.

It’s hard to write a review about Megan and truly do justice to how great she is. We are first time home buyers and needed a lot of hand-​holding throughout the process. It’s a ridiculously competitive market in Oakland, and we were on a strict budget (helloooo public educator and surgery resident!) with high standards (what many would deem impossible requests).
Yet Megan continued to be patient and enthusiastic with us. One of the things Megan is best at is understanding one’s style. We actually got to know her through her previous life at a jewelry store, and knew that she was great at picking up on what WE wanted, not what she thought we should have. This talent expanded to her ability to quickly find homes that we would like — we were never disappointed in the homes she showed us, but if it wasn’t quite right it was on to the next without any pressure to bend or make concessions.
We also really appreciated her approach to house-​hunting. We were never bombarded with emails, and instead were sent concise information that was relevant. D and I both work a lot, and liked how Megan was always very respectful of our time. However whenever we had a question or concern, she was easily and quickly accessible no matter the day or time.
Each offer we put in was a ton of work for Megan because she went above and beyond for us: presenting offers in person to the sellers, reviewing the documents with a fine tooth comb, and meeting us at odd hours to see homes multiple times before putting money down.
D and I just closed on our first house and while we are a combination of happy/​terrified, we’re mostly happy and could not imagine going through this process with anyone but Megan!

We were referred to Megan Micco at Gimme Shelter by a mutual acquaintance. From our first meeting, the fit felt right. The first offer we wrote was accepted and we recently moved into our new house in Oakland! She was easy to talk to and willing to go at the pace we needed. She knowledgeably answered whatever questions we had and promptly followed up with us with our requests and progress.
We were constrained by a modest budget in a hot sellers market and had limited options that met our family needs and budget. Megan was incredibly diligent at finding properties that fit our criteria, and in the end, negotiating with the sellers agent for a substantial discount given the work needed on the property. We ultimately came in under budget, which left us additional capital to invest in the property. We couldn’t be more thrilled with our new home, and are confident that the investment will pay off handsomely in the long run.
We are so thankful that Megan was our broker for our first house; I would have been disillusioned by the whole process if it wasn’t for her confident and reassuring support. I am recommending her to everyone I know who is considering buying a house.

Megan was incredibly easy to work with in a recent engagement with a real estate customer. She was organized and timely, and did a great job explaining the details of the mortgage application process to the customer before I even got involved. She made my job easy, and we both have a very satisfied customer!
