FROM MY CLIENTS
“We first met Meg in 2004, as newlyweds, at an open house in Menlo Park. Both my husband and I felt there was an instant connection. She was friendly, straight-forward and seemed well-experienced. Most impressive was that she seemed to understand us, what we were looking for and how to get us there.
When our home was identified, she put 110% into helping us reach that goal. She advised us every step of the way. She made the process very easy, undoubtedly due to her expertise, experience and her extensive network of connections. It was a competitive market, and the home had multiple offers. We now had our first home.
In the following two decades, Meg stayed in touch with us and listened as we navigated life’s challenges and made time for us when we turned to her for advice. Eventually, we moved to Monterey County. In the latter part of 2023, we decided to sell our first home (turned investment property). There was no doubt in our minds who we would ask to sell it for us.
We were now “first time home sellers”. There was a LOT of work needed to get the home ready to sell. Meg was absolutely INVALUABLE in that process. It took over 4 months to get our home ready to sell. She guided us through every turn, educating us on a high-level when we first started the process, scheduling numerous inspections and vendors, checking in on the work daily, then updating us with incredibly detailed summaries, multiple times a day sometimes. Her perseverance paid off, she timed the process impeccably well, and magically sold our home in less than a week for more than we had expected!
Most importantly, Meg was involved in every single detail and her vendors were all amazing professionals like herself. She was on-site to make sure everything was done to her expectations. She’s a true professional. She has an amazing network of people, all of whom speak highly of her even when she is not in earshot, know of her expectations and standards. She is straight by-the-book and takes the time and attention to make sure everything will pass scrutiny. She knows how to avoid pitfalls. She spent HOURS on the phone with my husband going over the disclosure package to make sure we understood it. We are so grateful, as we needed that support to sell from out of the area, but that is just Meg. She is realistic and honest in every way, she is a pleasure to work with, and gets the job done right the first time around. We highly recommend her for selling/buying a home. Meg is amazing and one simply cannot go wrong under her guidance.”

*** This is only a portion of the Testimonial. If you would like to read the entire Testimonial, let me know. Also, if you would like to speak to these clients, they offered to speak to any potential client about their 20 year relationship with me.
“We were eager to downsize from our two-story home in Palo Alto and relocate to a single-level residence in Menlo Park, ideally within walking distance to both downtown areas. Meg skillfully located our new home fulfilling all our criteria—a remarkable feat! Her diligent work ethic, trustworthiness, and honesty made our transition into retirement remarkably smooth.
Subsequently, Meg handled the sale of our Palo Alto home with the same professionalism, care, and integrity she demonstrated when helping us find our forever home. To us, she is more than just a Realtor; she has become a lifelong friend.”

“Meg Tierney is the extraordinary realtor who sold our old home for us and helped us buy our wonderful new one. She was amazing! In this market with multiple offers on the table, she was able to successfully negotiate and get us our dream home. We then needed to sell our old place, and Meg was able to find us a cash buyer whose offer made us very happy! We sold our old home with cash in hand in less than four weeks! Meg was the consummate professional who listened to us, held our hands when needed, was responsive to our needs, and clearly advocated for us throughout the entire process of buying and selling. She also made what can be a very stressful process fun. We would not hesitate to recommend Meg to anyone thinking of selling or buying a home. You couldn’t find a better realtor!”
