In Their Own Words

★★★★★

I strongly recommend Meg. My wife and I were buying our first house, after decades of being dedicated renters, and moving to Atlanta from the Northeast. She did much more than just show us houses. She got to know us and became a trusted advisor. We were so happy with the outcome we invited her and her husband to dinner at the Palm the night of the closing! We still count on her for advice.

Meg Councilman worked with our family looking for a new home and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect agent! She was considerate of our price range, offered lots of excellent advice, was incredibly responsive and more than knowledgeable in her field. She really understands the ins and outs of the market in Georgia and offers that information freely. She was respectful and polite through the whole process and remained transparent and candid about each location we visited and toured. We finally ended up finding a very beautiful home in our range that we are so excited to settle into. We cannot recommend Meg's services enough! She was so impressive and wonderful!

Meg was absolutely outstanding in helping our family of four purchase our home in the Atlanta area. As out-of-state buyers, we were relying heavily on her expertise, and she exceeded every expectation. Meg has an incredible command of the local market and provided sound, strategic advice at every stage of the process. She has a discerning and critical eye, pointing out both the strengths and potential concerns in each property we considered, which gave us tremendous confidence in our decisions. What truly set Meg apart was her responsiveness and dedication. She was available at all hours, always quick to answer questions, hop on a call, or provide thoughtful guidance. Throughout it all, she remained friendly, polite, and thoroughly professional. During a critical two to three week period, she worked with urgency and efficiency to help us overcome a series of complications that could have caused the offer we had on a home to fall through. We felt supported from start to finish and are so grateful to have had Meg advocating for our family. It was always evident she was working for us and our interests were her top priority. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Atlanta area!

Meg is an absolutely outstanding realtor. We worked with Meg to sell our home in the Gwinnett County, GA area, and she exceeded every expectation we had. From day one, she was incredibly professional and took the time to explain every detail and answer every question we threw her way. Also importantly, my wife and I live in CA and this was our vacation home, and we had never met Meg face-to-face but she made sure that we could fully trust her with having our home listed, shown, and sold. I never felt rushed or pushed into a decision. She always made sure we fully understood each step of the process before moving forward. Meg was always available, most of the time she responded to my texts within a couple minutes. Her knowledge of the Georgia market is exceptional and it was clear she knew exactly what she was doing. Her marketing, listing strategy, and overall organization were meticulous and well thought out. It was truly a pleasure working with her and I could feel that she was genuinely focused on our best interest. Meg made the process very easy and stress-free, and the home sold very quickly and above list!

If you are in the ATL metro and need a realtor I could not recommend Meg Councilman enough! Her dedication to those she is serving is constantly evident throughout the process. In our experience, whether it was setting up showings at off hours, or answering questions with full detail and transparency she is incredibly selfless and always operates with her client's best interest in mind. 10/10!

★★★★★

Meg was amazing! Not only did she help us find a wonderful new home, but she advocated for our best interests every step of the way. Meg answered countless questions and was very patient and understanding throughout the entire process. She was also a rock star during the selling process and presented our home in the best possible way. Here again Meg demonstrated her ability to advocate for her clients while also using her incredible knowledge of the housing market and the best strategies to get the highest offers on our home. Meg was great about communicating and being available for us and helped to reduce much of the stress involved with buying and selling a home. It was also just a genuine pleasure to work with her. I would highly recommend Meg Councilman as a realtor to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

I had the pleasure of working with Meg Councilman as the listing agent on a recent contract, and she was amazing every step of the way. Her communication was clear and consistent, she handled problem-solving with ease, and she kept things light with a great sense of humor. I also know her outside of this transaction, and she brings the same professionalism and positive energy in every interaction. Highly recommend Meg — she's a true pro and a joy to work with!

Meg has been absolutely amazing to work with. I met her a few times in the neighborhood at open houses that she held and knew she was the right choice when I decided to sell my home. She is organized, professional, friendly, and so responsive to any questions no matter the day or time. She was spot on when it came time to determining the listing price. I highly recommend Meg as your realtor. She's great!

We could not have asked for more or better. Meg provided the best of service and support in finding our perfect home. Guidance and advice on all aspects of Atlanta life that led us to our new house.

5 Stars - Highly Recommend Meg Councilman! Selling a property from out of state can be stressful, but Meg Councilman made the entire process seamless and worry-free. From our first meeting, she impressed us with her professionalism and proactive approach. During the initial walk-through, she identified some minor repairs that would enhance the home's appeal and immediately arranged for tradespeople to take care of them. Beyond just listing the property, Meg went above and beyond to ensure everything was well-maintained, even adjusting the thermostat ahead of freezing temperatures to protect the home. Her attention to detail, excellent communication, and commitment to looking out for our best interests made all the difference. If you're looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and truly hands-on realtor, we highly recommend Meg Councilman. She made what could have been a stressful experience incredibly smooth and easy.

Meg was the most organized and communicative real estate agent that I've had the pleasure to work with. She was always so on top of it! We had a lot of fun spending the day with her looking at places and she was very patient with all of our questions and super knowledgeable. Meg works hard for her clients and we will definitely be working with her again when it's time to sell and buy a new place.

Listen, if you need a realtor who is punctual, attentive and one who has your best interest, then Meg should be your choice. She was able to first understand us as buyers, and then provided insightful feedback as we navigated the buying process. She will render your reminders useless as she is always one step ahead and always reaching out to ensure we were on track to meet our goals. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a realtor in her market. Thanks Again Meg, for helping us grasp a slice of our dreams!!

Meg was an outstanding realtor when she helped sell our house. We knew nothing about selling a house, but she patiently worked through the process. She is charming and professional. She responded to all issues and questions at lightning speed. The house is midcentury modern, and Meg sold up the elements that would appeal to buyers hungry for that style. Her marketing materials were sleek. She works with a photographer who brings your home to life, and who creates virtual tours that sparkle. Meg offered showings and open houses over one weekend and we had multiple offers to choose from. She explained everything well, and we closed at an excellent price. My whole family highly recommends her.

My firm, Chatham Realty Group, worked on a residential transaction for our client in Stockbridge, GA recently. Meg brought us a buyer and worked hard to close the deal. Meg was such a pleasure to work with throughout the process. Her real estate expertise, communication skills and overall knowledge of the market is second to none.

Meg is a fantastic realtor, and a true professional. She walked us through the process of selling our home, and even found us resources both in preparing our home to sell, as well as finding our next home out of state. She truly listened to our questions and concerns, and responded right away. Through her open house we were able to get multiple offers. I highly recommend anyone looking to buy or sell a home to reach out to Meg.

Meg was a delight to work with. She went above and beyond to help us find the perfect home. She is professional, thorough, and on top of everything. In this wild house market, she was aggressive and constantly fighting for us, to make sure we had the best possible offer. It was easy to trust her and her professional experience. I highly recommend Meg as a realtor!

Meg was incredibly professional and efficient to work with. I love the thoughtful touches along the way - drone footage, open house, cookies, keepsake photo book, texts to confirm showings. Plus she nailed the asking price so that we got from listing to closing within 30 days!

★★★★★

Fantastic real estate agent. We were first-time home buyers and found Meg through a friend who'd given her a strong recommendation, and now it's obvious why. She was incredibly responsive to all our questions, no matter how small, and never showed any kind of judgement about our needs and preferences. She stuck with us even after we terminated on the first house we went under contract on, and was always full of energy and eagerness to keep things going. She even played therapist a little when the whole process was too overwhelming for us to handle, lol. Meg is a true professional who can also make you feel comfortable like a long-time friend would. I went into the buying process with no small amount of cynicism about the whole thing, expecting most agents only really cared about closing, but I'm very happy to say Meg is living proof they aren't all like that! She's even stayed in touch months after we've moved and has come through with some very solid recommendations for tradespeople. She's easy to work with and equally comfortable just chit-chatting. She'll make you feel like you're her only client.

I first met Meg when she knocked on my door some months ago and gave me a pamphlet of her latest listing under contract in my subdivision. To be honest, I first paid attention to the price she sold the house for. I was impressed and wanted the same for my house. I was also very impressed by her confidence and enthusiasm, so I saved her contact information and when I was ready to sell, she was ready to help me. I have no regrets. Meg was so kind, positive, transparent, and genuine about caring for me throughout the house sale process. I wish I had her as my realtor when I first bought my home!

Meg is an outstanding Realtor! We worked together on a condo resale and the buyer's lender could not get the project approved but we were able to. Meg had full confidence in working with me and provided all the information needed to make this first time homebuyer's dream come true. Thank you Meg!!!

Tina Dennis2 years ago
★★★★★

Meg was wonderful. She helped us navigate out of a very stressful situation with another firm, which was outside the scope of her job, but she could sense we really needed the help. Once we had the property back, she guided us through renovations and then swiftly got our house on the market and sold shortly thereafter. She was always prompt, direct, and managed our expectations well. I never had any doubt that Meg had our best interest in mind. We're really fortunate we had Meg.

Meg Councilman is an outstanding seller's agent who managed my condo sale in spring 2024. Meg is knowledgeable about the area, had a well thought out plan to market and sell my condo that got us 2 full-priced offers on the very first day of showing. But the bonus value of working with Meg is how she cares for her clients. At the time we were selling my condo, I was selling an out-of-state property following probate, and searching for a home in a third state. My stress was HIGH. But Meg was unflustered and always available to manage my woes as well (or better) than she managed the sale of my home. Everyone (myself, the buyer, and the buyer's agent) walked away from the process feeling good. We closed quickly and without issue (despite the fact that I moved 900 miles before closing). Do not hesitate to contract with Meg Councilman to sell your home. She will be by your side from start (marketing & staging through showings) to finish (inspections/closing) and beyond (because her post-sale follow-up is also noteworthy!).

I had the pleasure of working with Meg on a recent transaction, and she was fantastic to work with! She communicated clearly, was professional throughout, and made the process smooth and collaborative. I'd be happy to work with her again in the future.

Meg is absolutely wonderful. My townhome had a couple factors that made it unusually difficult to sell, and I met her after I had already had it on the market for three months with a minimum effort, uncommunicative realtor and had had one sale fall through at the last minute. I was very demoralized after that, but my experience with Meg was the complete opposite. She was a consummate professional, communicated constantly with both me and all our interested buyers, had great listing photos and organized multiple open houses, and was nothing but kind with how anxious the whole messy process had made me (I had already moved to my new property, so I was stressing a lot about paying for two homes for so long). Ultimately, she got me a good cash offer with a quick close and I was finally able to get the place sold and move on with my life. Would highly recommend her to anyone, and someday if I go to sell again, she will be the first one I call.

Meg has been incredibly responsive to all my real estate inquiries. She frequently offered to find the answers to questions I didn't even know I had. Meg has always had an enthusiastic approach to showing me different properties and has taken the time to explain complexities present in the current market and offer solutions to me as a buyer. If you're looking for a great real estate agent, look no further. I highly recommend Meg Councilman!

Meg was amazing getting us through the process of leasing a new home. We tried to accomplish the process but navigating all the different management companies' rules and access codes was tough. She took charge and got it done. When we were trying to negotiate the lease she again took charge and we crossed the finish line. We could not be more happy with her help and perseverance.

Meg and I worked as co-op agents together on a particularly complicated and difficult transaction. She was professional and kind all while fighting hard for her client's best interest. She consistently went above and beyond for them. She's also a joy to work with on the other side of the table which believe me makes a huge difference in your success as a client. I'd highly recommend her to represent you with all your real estate needs.

A casual meeting with Meg for a quick peek at a home was a memorable experience! Not only did she get us a viewing of a home that closed its offers within an hour and a half of the showing, she seamlessly put in an offer for us just under the wire. She contacted our mortgage guy and put protections on our offer and had us DocuSigning within moments and just in time! Beyond impressed! Walking into the home she quickly pointed out all the upgrades and features of the house and declared it to be a unicorn! She was 100% right! We didn't put in a high enough offer so not getting the contract was on us. All of this happened within 2 hours of our initial contact with Meg! Couldn't believe how fast she made it all happen! In the end she advised us in a thoughtful phone conversation to pursue another home with a different realtor we had already been working with and sent us a card with her heartfelt wishes. I wouldn't hesitate to use Meg! She knows the local ATL market and North Georgia too! More importantly she valued our happiness and listened to our needs and pointed us in the best direction to find what we were seeking. That's priceless!

Meg was great. She did not give up on finding me the perfect home. She was patient and listened to all my concerns of what I was looking for, and what I felt comfortable in paying for a home. Meg was readily available whenever I had questions, or just wanted to talk through scenarios.

Meg went above and beyond as our realtor. She is made for this profession and an absolute joy to work with. We wanted to sell a rental property that was being “managed” by a terrible management company. Meg effortlessly guided us through that difficult process and helped us get our home on the market. She was a force of calm while we were losing our minds, lol! We went under contract in just four days and closing was easy peasy. Thank you Meg for everything. We are so grateful for you.

My wife and I recently found a house in our neighborhood that we both fell in love with and wanted to buy. We reached out to Meg for help. She took amazing care of helping through the whole process and showing us other options helping us make sure we were making the right choice. In addition to helping us with our home she helped us, through network contacts, to find all the right people we needed to speak with to help make this a smooth and easy transition. Meg took the time to listen, provide professional insights and ideas, and if she didn't have the answer she immediately reached out to other resources to get an answer. If you're looking for someone that cares about you and the home you're buying, give Meg a call.

Meg is the loveliest realtor I could have ever hoped to find. She is so knowledgeable and breaks down the process of looking for a home, making it so simple and straightforward - we did our own research but her insight and experience have helped answer all of our additional questions and frame our goals in a way we just couldn't have done by ourselves. She has been invaluable in the entire process and literally every time she contacts me I always say “Meg reached out to me today! I love her.” She's so personable and thoughtful and is just great at her job - she not only has provided us with numerous options that meet our criteria, but she sends newsletters about things to think about in the current market/taking care of your home/fun happenings in the area, and also reaches out just to check on us! She's just such a great human and I cannot recommend her enough.

Meg works hard for her clients and is a kind, honest person. I initially found Meg through a Facebook group and the reason she stood out to me is because she followed up with me several times and made it clear that she wanted to find the perfect home for us and that we could count on her to guide us through all aspects of the process. We have since used her to buy two homes in the last five years and we appreciate how responsive, professional, and proactive she is. She cares a lot about her clients and in the months following the purchase of our last home she kept in touch with us by sending us personal cards on our birthdays, anniversary, etc. I'm so glad we found her and would highly recommend her.
