A North Shore Native growing up in Kenilworth, Megan has deep roots in the real estate world. Her mother, Barbara, was an icon in the local industry for nearly 45 years. She was the top-selling agent in Kenilworth almost every year for the past three decades and was the FIRST North Shore real estate agent to achieve $1 Billion in career sales volume. Megan learned the art of real estate, the passion for homes/architecture/design, and how building relationships with your clients is a top priority...from her mom at an early age!
"My mother was a trailblazer for this industry and a role model to working mothers, and she was an inspiration to me, my brother and so many other agents. She was all about people and truly valued relationships, and John and I are the same way. We are honored to carry on her legacy."
