Megan Micco, Realtor - Berkeley, California

Lissette Jimenez

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 introduced to Megan through a family member who works in real estate and wanted to place us in the very best hands. From our first conversation with Megan, she gave us helpful tips and guidance on the home buying process. She asked thoughtful questions that got us to deeply consider our underlying motivation for buying and added a helpful lens for property evaluation.

She was patient and did gently advise us against making purchases when we suggested projects that were simply too complex or expensive. At last, a unicorn of a home popped up and we were sure it was too good to be true. A mid century home with Sea Ranch energy, we were worried that we would be caught in an overbidding situation.

Megan did a quick round of comps and spoke to the listing agent (who she had previously worked with) and came back with optimism that encouraged us to put forth our very best offer. She met us at the house, walked through the process and helped forecast what offer day would look like.

Megan is exceptionally good at expectation management and forecasting how things are likely to go. She continually checked in with the listing agent to make sure nothing was off track. We sat anxiously waiting but we think Megan knew she had it in the bag for us. When she received photos of our young son at our first home, she sent back heart emojis and jokingly said "Baby's first mid century." This summarizes what it's like to work with Megan: fun, efficient, kind and homey. Don't hesitate to give her a call!

Megan had expertly guided our son and daughter-in-law through their Berkeley home purchase last year. The arrival of their second child inspired us to commence our search for a home nearby.
As we began our search, Megan's strategic support proved invaluable. Her deep understanding of the local property market balanced perfectly with her compassion for our specific needs, and we really felt heard throughout the entire process. When we finally identified a property, directly across the street from our children, Megan expertly leveraged her relationship with the listing agent, ensuring we'd be swiftly notified if a higher bid became necessary. Her commitment to us extended beyond the purchase, throughout the escrow process, and even after closing.
We can't recommend Megan highly enough – her dedication and insight helped us secure the perfect home and create an opportunity for multi-generational family living

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!
