  • Megan helped me buy a home

      Team House Hunter is awesome!! Megan and everyone we have had the pleasure of working with in the office has been great, they worked hard to find us our home and I know it wasn't easy, they would always find the time to show us houses at the last minute and would answer our numerous messages quickly and happily. Even after we bought our home they are still helping with anything we might need, amazing customer service! I would recommend them to anyone I knew who was in the market to buy or sell and they are the only team I will use for any real estate transactions. Thanks Team House Hunter!

    • Megan listed and sold my home

        "Megan was an invaluable partner when selling my house. She understood the local market and where to price my property. She had fantastic photos taken, made sure the staging was just right and even had a 3D Tour and Drone Video done for the property. All the preparation paid off and in the end the house sold in 2 weeks in the middle of winter! "

      • Megan listed and sold my home

          Megan was awesome during the whole process while me and my wife were selling our Santa Clara condo. Moving and selling your home is a very stressful thing (especially with a four month old!) but she did everything in her power to help us every step of the way and made the experience as smooth as humanly possible. I can't recommend her enough!

        • Megan listed and sold my home

            Megan is awesome! We were looking to sell our home in San Jose and move to the beach. Knowing inventory was limited, we were unsure if we could make it all work. She patiently listened to all of our questions and made sure she knew what we wanted. Megan made the process very simple - from listing to closing! Megan rocks!

          • Megan listed and sold my home

              Megan and her team helped my wife and I sell our townhome in San Jose and buy a home with a yard in Campbell (much needed space for the kids). She was with us every step of the way and totally helped us to stay focused throughout the stressful process of buying a home. We cannot recommend her enough!

            • Megan listed and sold my home

                Megan and her team did a phenomenal job in helping us sell our home! Megan was friendly, informative and supportive during the whole process. She was compassionate in understanding what a big step this was for us and made the selling process less stressful. Her keen negotiation skills got us well above the asking price!

              • Megan listed and sold my home

                  Megan and Kaelin provided friendly, attentive and overall awesome service both in selling a house in Palo Alto and buying one in the Santa Cruz area. Their recommendations for what prep work to undertake for selling were honest and open, without any pressure, and the work was without exception on time and of high quality. Their strategy for pricing the sale and how to position the offer was reassuring and the explanations helpful. And in the end, the bottom line: the prices on both sides were great! Thank you!

                • Megan helped me buy a home

                    Megan has been amazing. I have worked with many brokers in the past and never have we had such organized and coordinated effort. We have been looking for a home in Silicon Valley for a while but when we met Megan she impressed us with her considerate questions and knowledge. It was not long before we felt comfortable to share our thoughts and dreams of home ownership in Silicon Valley. It was our second all day tour with Megan when she showed us a home that met most of our wants and needs and that all important view and lots of room to grow. I remember my wife turning in the newly remodeled kitchen of one house and looking out at the view she said " I feel at home here". Well I looked and Megan and asked please help us get this house. Just to be clear my wife and I had been searching for a home for a while but once we met Megan we found a home within a just a few carefully selected homes and closed on our property within 20 days. This has to be a record in my experience. Megan and her staff kept an ambitious schedule which helped the sellers close on their own home quickly. Megan's team scheduled all the inspections and estimates for repairs. She kept our Mortgage lenders informed and on track to approve our mortgage in just 13 days. Her staff is personable and very professional. I am very happy to share this experience and very happy to have a new friend in the Real Estate Business. Thank Megan We look forward to move in day and that glass of wine to celebrate the beauty of "Heaven's Veil" with you and your team!

                  • Megan listed and sold my home

                      Megan and her team were super helpful and made the sale of my home go as smoothly as possible. Communication was great during all parts of the process. Highly recommended!

                    • Megan listed and sold my home

                        At first we thought we should sell out home without a realtor to save on costs and boy am I glad we didn't. Megan is very knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do when we ran into some issues with our buyers. She is friendly, professional, and knows her stuff. She comes highly recommended

                      • Megan is an incredible KW referral partner. I had sent her my clients to help sell their home in Dublin and they have expressed many times how amazing Megan was the entire transaction! My clients are moving up to the Sacramento area and having the sale go so smooth helped the entire buying process up here that much more enjoyable for them. Will definitely recommend her to all of my Bay Area clients in the future!

                      • My husband and I have been dreaming of getting a place in Santa Cruz/Capitola for a while. We found Caroline and she has been working with us ever since. She is incredibly communicative, responsive, patient and just wonderful to work with. We now have a little place in Capitola and we are extremely happy of with the outcome.

                        - Amanda L. - Capitola
                      • The Team was great! As a first-time buyer, her inputs are very valuable and helpfully in the process. Great communicator shares honest feedback. Appreciate all the time spent with us over the process of completion.

                        - Sai R. - Mountain View
                      • Megan Archer was my real estate agent for the sale of my mothers home (living trust). This transaction required mastery of not only the sale of a home but also living trust issues, trailer park membership issues, home repair and upgrading and so on. Megan managed it all as an absolute professional. This has been the most impressive experience I have ever had within the real estate realm.

                        - Michael S. - Santa Cruz
                      • A few months ago, a good friend came to me saying they needed to sell a home in the Salinas area. As a Real Estate Agent myself, I knew I needed to find someone great and who had great communication. This was a bit of a challenging sale, but Megan was up for the task! Megan did an amazing job getting their home sold in a short amount of time and for the most value for my friends. She communicated well with me and kept me in the loop the entire time. Thank you Megan and team!

                        - Anna F. - Salinas
                      • Megan is SO knowledgeable about real estate in and around Santa Cruz and super well connected with related services (escrow, financing, etc) in the market. We could not have bought a house without her and her team's help and she would be our first choice if we were looking again.

                        - Nikki B. - Santa Cruz, CA
                      • We are so happy that Megan crossed our path and was able to assist us through the whole process of selling our house. She was such a positive force & provided insight how to prepare our house for sale. Her & her team took us through the process of selling our house quickly & smoothly with timely communication. It was a joy working with Megan. We will recommend her to our family & friends.

                        - Judy F. & Ken D. - Aptos, CA
                      • Competent, organized, friendly. I recommend Aurora for any real estate needs. What more is there to say?

                        - Daniel S. - Aptos, CA
                      • Megan was fabulous to work with, and we would highly recommend her for any real estate needs. She is responsive, pleasant, extremely intelligent, and always had our best interest in mind throughout the process. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her, and we would definitely choose her again in the future.

                        - Elizabeth B. - Moss Landing, CA
                      • Aurora is a Closer! With her lifelong knowledge of Santa Cruz neighborhoods and the coastal real estate market, her responsiveness and flawless preparation for negotiations, Aurora was the perfect partner to guide us through our home purchase journey. Especially helpful is her extensive network of local experts and connections. When combined with her patience, responsiveness, and perseverance, she was able to resolve a myriad of complex challenges quickly and effectively. Auroras friendly demeanor and delightfully positive outlook made it a delight to work with her. We only wish we were in the market for another property. Above and beyond does not begin to describe her contribution, out of this world is more like it! Thank you Aurora!!

                        - Richard E. - Santa Cruz, CA
                      • Aurora helped me search all over the county to find the perfect home for me. I was a very particular homebuyer and Aurora was completely up for the challenge. I would definitely recommend contacting Aurora if you are looking for a house. She is extremely kind, knowledgeable and hardworking.

                        - Brian K. - Santa Cruz, CA
                      • Our condo sale was quite a challenge as it was right in the middle of COVID-19. No open houses were allowed and all viewings were by appointment only. Being that the market was so unpredictable, we also lived in the unit we sold. Megan took on the challenge and rolled with all the punches flawlessly. Her marketing team and photographer were excellent, our pictures turned out beautiful. We met with her about selling our condo on a Monday, and our house was listed and on all the sites with professional photos by Thursday. All in all, the experience was great, I would recommend Megan and Team House Hunter to others. Like I said, this was probably one of the hardest and most uncertain times to sell in the last 30 years.

                        - Libby L- Sunnyvale, CA
                      • Megan and her team were awesome. We listed 2 days prior to covid shutdown, so were unable to show house for 6 weeks. Once real estate was allowed again, (with heavy restrictions), Megan was able to quickly adapt to the "new normal" and get our house sold. Thank you to the whole team.

                        - Raymond B. - Aptos, CA
                      • Aurora was incredible! She was very easy to work with and always responsive. I would absolutely refer her to family and friends!

                        - Joel B. - Los Gatos, CA
                      • I worked with Megan to purchase my new house. I had spoken to a couple of other agents in the area, but I wasn't really impressed. Then, I spoke to Megan. She and I hit it off immediately. She and her team made it so easy to view houses, even during the pandemic. I don't know how she does it, but she figured out what I really wanted in a house - even before I did! She's amazing!

                        - Melanie C - Hollister, CA
                      • Big shout out to Megan Archer and her entire team !

                      • Megan Archer and Team House Hunter helped us find our first house several years ago and when it came time for us to search again, we knew who to go with. When we found out in mid-March that our search needed to be rushed, Megan helped us through the home purchase during the Covid-19 pandemic. When the pandemic struck and the restrictions on real estate were put in place, we didnt know what to expect, but Megan and Team House Hunter really looked out for our best interests. She worked hard to help us find the mountain property we had been looking for and to ensure the smoothest transaction possible under the circumstances!

                        - Debra S - Los Gatos, CA
                      • We recently worked with Aurora and her team to buy our dream home and we could not be more thrilled. She made the process of home buying, which can be so stressful, seem easy. She made herself available for any questions or concerns we had and walked us through every step of the process. Her knowledge of the industry is invaluable, providing great insight to the market and best steps to take. She went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we wanted and her team communicated every step of the way. If you are looking for a realtor in the area, definitely contact Aurora and her team. They will make sure you are well taken care of!

                      • Megan Archer is a real estate SHARK! She was 100% on top of things the whole time and made sure our sale closed, even though this happened in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. As soon as we moved out, her team swooped in and made our place look amazing and we had a buyer within a week of listing. We were so lucky to work with Megan, she was there to hold my hand during any bumps in the road and always knew exactly what to do. I wholeheartedly recommend her and I wouldnt have trusted anyone else to sell my house during this crazy time!

                      • Our experience with Megan Archer as our buyer agent taught us that she is a real estate superstar, hands down. We had not entered the real estate market as either buyers or sellers in almost 30 years, so having someone with Megan's superb local knowledge, expertise, and responsiveness was key. Her exceptional negotiation skills truly stood out, as we found ourselves in a multiple offer situation, competing with a number of other well qualified and intent buyers. Megan assured us that if we wanted the property, she would make sure we got it. And she delivered. Not only did Megan establish a fantastic relationship with us on a professional level, but on a personal level as well. After working with Megan, we consider her a wonderful, intelligent, and good-humored friend as well as agent. We look forward to continuing a personal relationship with her as we settle into our new home and community, and will count on her to be our agent for any future real estate transactions. We would recommend Megan wholeheartedly to anyone buying or selling a home.

                        - Jennifer T - Aptos, CA
                      • We had Megan's team come in a year ago, they staged our home and we went to open house stage. Then, my daughter says she wants to get married at the house!, a great wedding was had. Meanwhile of course we pulled the house off the market and Megan was very understanding. So, one year later we went back to Megan given her professional attitude.We sold very quickly given the home was now ready to go from the prior year and all inspections and data was current.I can highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a realistic sale of your property.Thanks to Megan and all her team.

                        - Robert H - Aptos, CA
                      • Megan was referred to me by a close realtor friend and I am so very grateful. She knows the ins, outs and fine lines of home buying and selling (including working with VA loans), she gets to know your interests and goals (practically figures out your patterns and house styles before you realize them yourself), is clear and efficient with communication, works extremely well with other agents, and will not stop working to support you, even when challenges arise. We closed on our first home with a great price and the previous owner left a mess. Megan continued to advocate for us and ensure our rights as home buyers with confidence, knowledge, grace and professionalism. We are grateful to have met and worked with her!

                        - Mikhail B - Aptos, CA
                      • I referred an old friend of mine to Megan to help in their search for a new home. Megan, not only helped them through the entire first time buyer process, but kept me updated throughout the time that she was working with them. I have no doubt about who I will be sending my next referrals for the areas that she covers.

                        - Wayne C - Arcadia, CA
                      • Megan and her whole team are professional, prompt and extremely knowledgeable of the market in Santa Cruz county. She was referred to us by a friend and we were very pleased with our experience.Were looking forward to moving into our awesome house in the New Year. Thanks Megan!

                        - Kristin O - Aptos,CA
                      • Megan and Team House Hunter helped us sell our home in Bonny Doon. What we valued and appreciated was the level of professionalism and knowledge that Megan and Team House Hunter possessed. Megan knows her stuff and knows mountain homes which can be tricky for some realtors. Having a team of professionals helping us was fabulous as we felt very taken care of and well represented.

                        - Aleene A - Santa Cruz, CA
                      • We have worked with Megan Archer and Team House Hunter for many years when she helped us do a short sale of our house in 2012. We had to sell due to medical issues. When we started thinking about buying a house again there was no question in our minds who we were going with for our realtor.For about a year and a half we looked and looked. She was always so understanding and willing to go with us to check out houses no matter how hard it was to get to. I remember she said to us one time as I apologized about going through the process of getting disclosures and ran numbers for us to decide not to go through it. There was always something wrong with it. She told us that we would know the ONE when we find it. After a year, I was starting to doubt her words. But sure enough right when we were ready to take a break from looking, we found THE ONE!! We showed up at the open house, looked around and came out knowing this was the one we have been looking for.Megan and her team were with us the whole process. Boy! What a process that was! Everyone was so understanding and helpful in explaining the process and calming frayed nerves. I take my hat off to Megan and her crew! Real estate is not for the fainthearted! You have to have compassion, be calm and collected but also be a bulldog when needed.We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Megan Archer and Team House Hunter, along with Barrett Garner of Sierra Pacific Mortgage. These two women helped us beyond words!!! They both have done so much for our community as well. I give them all the stars for reviews! Thank you Megan and Barrett for helping us find our forever home!

                      • We loved working with Megan and team, not only did they make the whole process seamless, they made it painless as well. Megan herself was a great partner, she explained what to expect every step of the way, was highly communicative, so nothing was a surprise and worked phenomenally hard as our advocate to ensure the house closed on time. We would work with Megan again in a heat beat and strongly recommend her if you want a highly professional, lightning fast agent who understands the market and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in every interaction. 5 stars!

                        - Kevin - San Jose, CA
                      • Megan and her team were awesome! They were efficient, responsive, and knowledgeable. Megan's knowledge of the housing market helped us achieve a great price. Closing was quick and effortless thanks to her team and their coordination of inspections. Megan was quick to reply to text messages and phone calls. Don and Angela were super, as well! We definitely recommend working with Megan and her team when looking for your next house.

                        - Rachel A. - Scotts Valley
                      • Megan and the House Hunter Team were absolutely incredible. Day or night she was there to guide us along the journey, armed with immense experience, a dedication to getting things done, and a team of experts that could assist us no matter what obstacle we were up against. I would and will be recommending her to any family member or friend who is looking for help with a real estate sale or purchase.

                        - Dave K - Watsonville, CA
                      • My husband and I were relocating to Seattle from Scotts Valley and had a realtor, but we had some disappointment with the level of service. A friend referred me to Maria and Team House Hunter. After our initial meeting with Maria we re-listed with her and her team. I truly can not say enough about Maria and her level of service! We listened to all her advice and it 100% paid off. She went above and beyond in all aspects as our realtor. I was 8 months pregnant, with two little children and a husband already relocated to Seattle for work when we re-listed. Maria has a team that helped us with staging, cleaning, moving items from our house for me, fixing things in our yard, even offering her husband to help. Not only was all her service amazing, she got us an offer within 14 days and we sold our house! Maria doesn't treat you like a client...she treats you like family. And I truly will be eternally grateful for her making a very stressful situation smooth and easy for our family. Again, I can't recommend Team Househunter enough. If you are buying or selling, there isn't anyone better than them!

                      • "Everyday, I am thankful for the home I now live in, and it is all thanks to Megan. She truly found my family our dream home. With our son ready to start Kindergarten in the Fall, we knew we wanted to move out of our current neighborhood school district. Megan got right to work and began showing us properties in better school districts, and just overall better family friendly areas. Ultimately, she found our dream home in the Los Gatos Mountains! It had everything on our ""wish list"". It was out of our price range, but she negotiated a great deal for us so that we could afford it. After we got into contract on the dream home, she went above and beyond to make sure that it was a good buy for us by going down to the SC county and making sure that every part of the home was permitted correctly. And, it wasn't! Thank goodness for Megan checking, because the selling agents had no idea. Megan worked with the seller's agent to clear it all up with the correct agencies, and we didn't have to worry another minute about it. I am so thankful to Megan for double-checking on our behalf, so that we were not surprised later down the road when we had owned the home.With the offer accepted on our dream home, Megan helped us to get our ""old home"" on the market in a matter of days. She helped us to market the home at an attractive price that we were comfortable with. We had multiple offers within days and were in contract 30K over our asking price! Buying and selling homes simultaneously is definitely stressful, especially with 2 small children in tow. But, Megan was available 24 hours a day to walk us through questions, explanations, and our excitement. I know she had other listings with other clients while buying and selling our home, but I felt as if we were her only client! She always answered her phone and made time for us (I know this was not the case with another realtor we had used 10 years ago). She was consitent, knowledgeable, and reliable. We will always use Megan for our future real estate needs, and continue to recommend her to family and friends."

                        - Los Gatos, CA
                      • I have been using Megan as my real estate agent for the past 2 homes that I have sold and bought. She is outstanding! I have had past realtors that just want to get me into a home, get their commission, and then dump me. In fact, one past realtor encouraged me to buy a house that had extensive foundation issues, which we found out about after the fact! But this would NEVER happen with Megan. She fully investigates each and every property we have ever considered buying, to let us know the pluses and minuses of the purchase. In fact, she steered us away from a few that seemed great at first, but upon investigation, would have been money pits homes. Megan is extremely thorough, and wants the home that you buy to be right for YOU. We have made considerable profits on our past two homes that we have sold, thanks to Megan. She found us the good deals, got us in at a great price, then helped us to later sell those homes above our asking prices. Megan is honest, up-front, reliable, and gets the job done. I will continue to use her for all my real-estate needs.

                        - Blossom Valley, CA
                      • "Honestly Megan changed my family's life. Like most parents with kids approaching school age, we were at a crossroads. Our neighborhood was nice, but the schools weren't great and only going down. The decision to private school or not weighed heavily upon us. Being all but under water in our existing home, we thought we had no options. Megan worked with us to crunch the numbers, figure out the options, our prioritized goals, helped us figure out what we should do. We ultimately used Megan to sell our home and buy our new one. It is worth describing both experiences in detail because they go to show she really is the full realtor package.We were very worried about selling our home as we close to underwater depending on the market. The market really was heating up, and Megan had a good sense of the (lack of) inventory and helped us decide to strike as quick as we could. In the matter of days she helped us figure out what needed to be done to get the house ready, helped us find contractors, and even a stager. In the end we felt like the stager wasn't worth the money and Megan herself stepped in. Instead of ""renting"" staging stuff from a stager, we used the same money to buy stuff Megan picked out to make our home look beautiful. We got so many comments on how great our staged house looked, and all the beautiful stuff is now residing in my current house. After an open house with countless people, we had 5+ offers. You would think it is easy smooth sailing at that point, but they all had their own risks and we were completely lost on which offer to go with and how to maximize benefit and limit risk. After a couple of counters, we accepted an offer thanks to Megan's intuition and guidance. Ultimately the buyers were awesome, Megan was right. In the end we got 20k over asking, accepted an offer within a week (after multiple counters)With the pending sale behind us we now had to figure out where to go. We didn't have a lot of down (thanks to being a wash on the sale) so our options were limited. We had a rough idea on the areas we were open to. Megan had lots of insights about the areas and most importantly which were great for us and our goals around school. We settled on an area which is amazing in every way (so amazing I want to keep it a hidden gem!..you'll have to ask Megan). We went all over the map in the area with Megan looking at countless homes. It was so refreshing to be able to get Megan's honest opinion about what workd for us, what was a good value versus not. Ultimately we liked one house, which Megan suspected was a very tough transaction. Ultimately it was very tough, but Megan in knowing how perfect this house was for us spent countless hours making it happen. Megan has an amazing knack and intuition for knowing what parts of the deal are flexible and helping to navigate those waters.Also worth calling out that there are so many bonuses she provides which I just have not seen other realtors provide. She is amazing in things like staging, decorating, painting etc, and she also has fully embraced technology and all of the modern tools and data sources to help give her the edge.In the end everyone has a realtor to recommend, as do I. But Megan really is top notch in my book and gets my highest recommendation, and heres why. Megan really takes the time to understand what her clients need/want. She then uses her experience, area knowledge, intuition, and fantastic interpersonal skills to get you what is best for you and your family."

                      • Buying a home is one of the most important decisions you can make. It is vital to have a Realtor you trust to aid you in the process. Megan is that Realtor. My husband and I, along with my parents, recently bought a house together. Megan had FOUR buyers to impress! She did just that. When we decided to put an offer in on a house, we knew we couldn't afford what the Sellers were asking for, but didn't want to offend them by offering too little. Megan worked diligently to find the perfect balance. She presented a well thought out offer that included the data that supported how we came to our price. If it weren't for the way that she wrote the offer, I truly believe the Sellers would have shrugged it off. After we were in contract, she continued to demonstrate her expertise and professionalism as she guided us through all the stages of escrow. She wasn't the typical agent that fades away once you're in contract. She explained everything thoroughly and kept us updated regularly. After closing, we were delighted when she continued to check in with us about the house. She helped us to figure out the best way to add value to the home and explained what was covered on our home warranty. We are so glad that we found Megan and will continue to recommend her to anyone that needs a Realtor. We have found our Realtor for life!

                      • "In my experience of over 30 years of buying and selling homes, Megan has proven to be the most market-savvy, conscientious and reliable realtor that i have worked with. Our selling situation was especially challenging because there were three owners of the house and all of us had a different take on how the sale should be handled. Two of the owners lived out of state and, because of Megan's familiarity with available technology and her 'can do' attitude, the transactions were easy and hassle -free for all of us.Megan came to the table with a professional, friendly but no-nonsense attitude. She listened to everything we had to say and then came up with solutions that, in the end, helped us reach consensus. She's honest, fair and showed a lot of common sense when making suggestions. I felt that she was really selling our home, not just listing it. She even worked with the tenants who were living in the home at the time, when our own property manager was fairly lackadaisical about that responsibility. She went the extra mile to make things happen.In me, she has a life-long client and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to friends and family."

                      • "Last year we were a growing young family looking to purchase our first home. Being this was our first time buying a home and with a baby soon on the way, we were pretty nervous about the whole thing. Megan was outstanding. She really listened and took the time to explain everything to us. We could tell right away that she genuinely cared about helping us find the right first home. She was very honest and dedicated through every stage of the process. It really put us at ease knowing we had a realtor that was so dedicated. Her creative thinking and knowledge of the local real estate market helped us purchase a home within walking distance of the beach here in Santa Cruz. Something we never thought possible. It was a foreclosure that had been in the market for a while, but when we were ready to put an offer in we learned there were already two on the table. We put an offer in hoping that maybe....just maybe it would be excepted. Thanks to Megan's guidance and diligence, our offer was excepted. The process of buying a foreclosure had its ups and downs, but with Megan's experience we were able to navigate them pretty smoothly. A year after purchasing the property, we found out we were able to refinance. We had no idea that was even possible. It was such great news. Megan again was really there for us and made recommendations of things we could do to help the house appraise well. In less than one year of moving into our first home we were able to refinance out of our FHA loan into a conventional loan. Our home had appraised for more than 80,000 more than what we purchased it for. None of this would have been possible had it not been for Megan and her hard work."

                      • Megan and her team go above and beyond. I was buying my house and a major wildfire broke out. Megan masterfully negotiated around the issue and made all the necessary adjustments to come to a successful close. Her team always stepped up and made all the difference in the world. I would definitely recommend her and her team and I would use them again myself.

                      • We have been in our home for a bit over three years now and still enjoy visiting with our wonderful realtor Megan! She truly is one of a kind: intelligent, hard working, is an expert in her field and, importantly, also has a heart of gold. A few years ago we had resigned ourselves to buying a condo as a starter home but Megan found us a short-sale house in a great neighborhood and worked EXTREMELY hard to help us be the ones who got to call it home. I continue to use Megan as a resource when I have questions about our home - from appliance questions, insurance queries, assessments, taxes, and all the crazy paperwork that goes with owning a home. I had been scared to work with a realtor because of all the stories I had heard. I am so happy I found Megan and I refer to her my family and friends because I know she will take care of them. Buying a home is inherently stressful but she helped us keep perspective and to really understand the process. She was truly a guide through an unfamiliar realm. Who would have thought that three years after buying our house I would call up my realtor to come hang out with me in my back yard and romp around with me and my daughter? I cannot sing Megan's praises high enough - she is truly a gem.

                      • Megan Archer and Team House Hunter were very professional and provided a great service in helping us to sell our home and purchase a new home. It was obvious to us from the start that Megan was an experienced real estate agent, and provided reassurance and confidence about the entire selling/buying journey we were started. Throughout the process, Team House Hunter did an excellent job of marketing and selling our Boulder Creek home, which we sold for the price we wanted. We found the perfect new home thanks to Megan and her team, and they helped guide us through the entire inspection and purchasing process. The bottom line for us is that we love our new home and were very satisfied with the sale price of our old home, and are very thankful that we placed our trust in Megan and Team House Hunter to get us through from beginning to end. We certainly recommend Megan and Team House Hunter to anyone looking to maximize the sale price of their existing home and finding that perfect new home.

                      • Working with Team House Hunter was above and beyond any previous real estate experience. Planning a move to another state, while leaving behind a home that needed to be sold, is extremely stressful, not to mention emotional. Team House Hunter exceled in their organization and communication, making sure my husband and I were involved and informed in every step of the process, even from multiple states away. We both received almost daily emails from Elissa, jokingly titled "your competition", showing us the other homes for sale in the area. She even offered to take us through another home for sale in the neighborhood. Megan and Elissa also included us throughout their whole pre-sale marketing strategy. We were notified at each step (when photos were taken, when the video walk through was being shot, etc.) and even got a sneak peek at all the marketing material before it was printed and sent. We also received emails from Megan at each milestone during the process ("Congratulations! Your home is live on MLS!" or "We have mutual acceptance!") keeping us up-to-date with the progress and giving us an idea of what we could expect next. In the end, it was their caring and empathetic attitude towards me, and my attachment to our first home, that helped me through this sale. It is evident Team House Hunter has not only the knowledge and experience but also that they love their job and their clients. We cannot recommend Team House Hunter enough, should we ever move back to CA, there is no doubt about who we would use to find a home.

                      • Megan did a fantastic job as our Real Estate agent on our recent home purchase. She stepped in when our initial Real Estate Agent went on maternity leave. She maintained excellent communication with her and with us, and made the transition feel seamless. She attended all of our home inspections with us, and was professional, personable, communicative, and organized throughout the process! We feel so grateful to have worked with Megan! We highly recommend her to anyone in the area!

                      • Megan has been amazing and I know she counts on all of her support professionals like Catie Baluyot, and Ashley Sidey. They are a great team. I have worked with many brokers in the past and never have we had such an organized and coordinated effort. From the first day we met Megan by accident at an open house we felt comfortable. She was very approachable and wanted to help but not be overly aggressive. It was the casual refinement of her questions that inspired us to consider Los Gatos. (we knew how expensive it could be) Anyway Megan found a home in Silicon Valley on our second tour and most of them met most of not all our wants and needs with lots of room to grow. I remeber the day we walking in and saw the view from the newly renovated kitchen, my wife turned bright eyed and glowing and said " I feel Home!" With that I turned to Megan and said this is it what next? Megan said done and we closed within 20 days. Has to be a record in my experience. Megan and her team coordinated all the inspections, bids, estimates and kept pressure on our mortgage compay to meet our tight schedule so the sellers could capture their new home as well. Our mortgage was approved and executed in 13 days. Megan kept all of us focused like clockwork, and her whole team is personable and professional. What more could you want. I am very happy to share this experience

                      • Everyday, I am thankful for the home I now live in, and it is all thanks to Megan. She truly found my family our dream home. With our son ready to start Kindergarten in the Fall, we knew we wanted to move out of our current neighborhood school district. Megan got right to work and began showing us properties in better school districts, and just overall better "family friendly" areas. Ultimately, she found our dream home in the Los Gatos Mountains! It had everything on our "wish list". It was out of our price range, but she negotiated a great deal for us so that we could afford it. After we got into contract on the dream home, she went above and beyond to make sure that it was a good buy for us by going down to the SC county and making sure that every part of the home was permitted correctly. And, it wasn't! Thank goodness for Megan checking, because the selling agents had no idea. Megan worked with the seller's agent to clear it all up with the correct agencies, and we didn't have to worry another minute about it. I am so thankful to Megan for double-checking on our behalf, so that we were not surprised later down the road when we had owned the home. With the offer accepted on our dream home, Megan helped us to get our "old home" on the market in a matter of days. She helped us to market the home at an attractive price that we were comfortable with. We had multiple offers within days and were in contract 30K over our asking price! Buying and selling homes simultaneously is definitely stressful, especially with 2 small children in tow. But, Megan was available 24 hours a day to walk us through questions, explanations, and our excitement. I know she had other listings with other clients while buying and selling our home, but I felt as if we were her only client! She always answered her phone and made time for us (I know this was not the case with another realtor we had used 10 years ago). She was consitent, knowledgeable, and reliable. We will always use Megan for our future real estate needs, and continue to recommend her to family and friends.

                      • We really can't say enough to recommend Megan Archer as a realtor. When you are in the middle of such major life changes as buying and selling a home, you want to have someone on your side who is confident, calm, intelligent, details-oriented, intuitive, empathetic, and responsive to your questions and concerns. Megan brings all of those qualities to the table and much more. My husband and I decided, after a lot of thought, that we wanted to sell our home in Campbell and mov...e to the Santa Cruz Mountains to raise our growing family. We did a lot of research on different areas and settled on one particular neighborhood that we felt would be the best match for our family. We knew that to make a competitive offer on a new home, we had to get our house in Campbell sold first. Megan was so organized in helping us to do all the things we needed to do to get our home listed quickly and looking amazing for potential buyers. In less than a week, we were listed and had an open house. Within a few days of being on the market, we had multiple offers well over our asking price. Megan helped us to sort through the multiple offers and details, counter them strategically, and ultimately make a choice for which one would be the best contract for us. Selling our house was much, much easier than I had anticipated and we were very happy with how smoothly the transaction went. Then it was time to focus on the next part, finding our new home. Because we had targeted such a small area to buy, and there was very little inventory at the time, Megan suggested we send out buyer letters to all the homes in the area. We were skeptical at first that it would work, but sure enough we received a couple of responses from homeowners and agents about homes that were coming on the market in the future. When we first visited the house that we ultimately bought, we knew it was the home for us and Megan helped us to write an offer and get into a contract with the homeowners before the home was on the market. She represented both us and the sellers in the transaction and helped keep things as smooth as possible. Although she was busy with other clients, we always felt like we were Megan's top priority. She would respond to our phone calls, emails, and texts quickly day or night. We were particularly impressed by her ability to follow through and close the loop on all of the little questions and details. This is important because we couldn't possibly have kept track of it all ourselves and it made everything so much easier for us because she is so on top of it. Megan also had a very good sense of what we were looking for in a home and I felt like she really understood us and our priorities. This was so refreshing and really made the process of buying and selling less stressful. We are so thankful for Megan's work as our realtor in both selling and buying our homes, and recommend her enthusiastically!

                      • Megan was great to work with! As a first time home buyer she was helpful at explaining all the details in every stage of the process. I had a really specific set of requirements, and she was willing to wait until the right house came along instead of pressuring me into one that wasn't perfect. The house I ended up with was better than I ever imagined when I started the process, and it was because of Megan's ability to understand my goals and work with me to accomplish them. Thanks!
