We met Megan by chance while scouting our neighbour’s condo listing and she stood out immediately. Not only does she possess an unparalleled enthusiasm and knowledge for homes, she is an extremely charismatic and entertaining person to be around.
As first time sellers and on the hunt for a family home, we were very anxious and green to the whole process of working with a realtor. Megan took us under her wing, got to know our tastes, our timelines, and was most importantly genuinely interested in us as people. Beyond presenting us with unique homes regularly, she was completely open about her process, teaching us how to research sales and listings, and understand comparables, making the whole process feel extremely empowering. She provided us with the knowledge and the language to be able to have conversations with selling agents, brokers, and lawyers. And each time we decided to make an offer, she spent the time and care to make it feel honest and personal.
At every open house we attended together, there seemed to be at least a handful of people who knew her, and who were delighted to run into her - we truly felt special to be in her company.
She consistently made us feel like we were a part of the family, and the strength of her team was apparent - if she wasn’t available (which was rare), Samantha eagerly stepped in without a blink.
After nearly a year of us passing on all options she presented us with, her investment in us remained the same. Making the jump was an emotional journey for us, and she was always attuned to that aspect, never pushing us beyond our comfort levels. She truly believed that we would find the right home, in the right time.
Eventually, we did find the house of our dreams and needed to sell our condo in a very short time frame. She helped us navigate every step - staging it very thoughtfully, and providing endless resources; moving companies, storage units, painters, mortgage brokers, inspectors, plasterers, etc. By no surprise, all of her contacts were exceptional at their jobs and just as personable and reliable.
It’s been three years since we moved into our home, and Megan still checks in regularly, calls for birthdays, pops by for porch hellos, and was one of the first people to meet our daughter when she was born. She is an absolute gift to the real estate industry and a gem of a human being, and we feel eternally grateful to have had her guide us through the journey of finding our home.
To say Megan and team Sheppard truly care about their clients is an understatement, and we recommend them whole-heartedly.
