Meet Megan: A Brave and Hilarious First Time Home Buyer!

By Constance Rigney, June 21, 2022

It takes a very brave first time home buyer, and a lot of trust, to move forward with a home sight unseen, from across state lines! Well, this is exactly how I’d describe Megan: brave, enthusiastic, not to mention hilarious.

Megan was planning to relocate to Portland from out of state, but couldn’t travel because she’d just adopted a dog that wasn’t keen on being watched by friends, family, or sitters! But she charged forth regardless, touring houses virtually and being open to my thoughts about what was worth pursuing, and what we should let move along.

There was a lot of watching and rewatching of (sometimes dizzying) videos, zooming in on questionable grainy images, holding cell phones in the air to gauge road noise, and long-winded descriptions about how a home feels (by a potentially overly verbose real estate agent). But, we really got in a communication groove, and really figured out how to impart the important thoughts and feelings around a property–Megan asked a lot of great questions.

I’m honored that someone I’d never met put their trust so fully in me, and that we could work together to find her a place she loves to call home. Really, we were great team! And when we DID finally meet over wine here in Portland, we had SO much fun and were fast friends.

It was ridiculously wonderful working with you, Megan—welcome home!

She/Her

What I love about the field of real estate is that essentially, it’s about dreams and possibilities. It’s about finding a space that can support the life you are envisioning and crafting.

Whether purchasing your first home, dialing in your next investment property, or selling your home, my goal as your agent is to be your ally and advocate, to work diligently and creatively to help you through the process. What distinguishes me from other REALTORS®? My style in both real estate, and the rest of life, is down to earth and humorous; my spirit warm and enthusiastic. Being flexible, thorough, ethical, and a topnotch communicator are the cornerstones of my business. I am a dedicated worker and won’t stop until I get the job done! I grew up on the East Coast, but my sense of adventure brought me to Oregon, where I found a richness of community, and a great love for the wondrous natural environment of the Northwest.  I spent ten years in this city as a practitioner of Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, all the while learning about Portland’s neighborhoods, and hidden gems, through the stories of the fascinating people that call this lovely city home. Joyfully part of a dream team, I’m currently partnered with Matt Guy, wonderful human and long time real estate whiz. We work expeditiously to successfully help our clients turn their vision into reality. In my free time you might find me living the VW Van life with my dreamy husband, Scott, and firecracker daughter Roslyn; soaking up the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, supporting local non-profits, or celebrating Portland’s local music scene.
