My wife and I engaged Meg and Mackenzie to represent us with our home purchase in the Triangle area, during probably one of THE most difficult market for a buyer, likely experienced in the area. We primarily worked with Mackenzie, and honestly, we could not have asked for a better experience. Meg and Mackenzie were both very courteous and responsive even during the most hectic of times. During a period where every hour counted, they were on the ball getting us pretty much the first showing when a house came to market. Because we were long distant buyers, Mackenzie provided us with virtual showings, and as many as three in one day! She was extremely thorough during the showing, even with the restricted duration allowed for the showing. She has a very good eye for details and identified and pointed out things - structural, water damage, drainage/soils, crawlspace issues, noise, privacy, HVAC systems, etc., that we may not have seen even if we were visiting the property in person. She had a very good sense for what we were looking for in a property and honed in on the details that were most important to us. She was not afraid to open doors, drawers, closets, cabinets, take measurements, to make sure we had as clear a picture as we could get with the virtual showing. She was very patient and understanding and represented us very well. I also want to add that we (and when I say we, I mean my wife) did extensive research before engaging Ensemble Properties (Meg) for our Real Estate buying needs. We had high expectations based on our research, which were met and exceeded. We are extremely appreciative and thank you both for all your work on our behalf! read more

Meg Bullard redefined our view of how important and strategic a best-in-class real estate agent can be. We worked with Meg to both buy a new home and sell our existing home, and the process could not have gone more smoothly and successfully. Friends and family were shocked at how quickly the process went, and how we avoided so many of the pitfalls that plague real estate transactions; and during a pandemic, no less. One point that truly stuck out was Meg's analysis on pricing for our listing and her market analysis based on a great deal of data on comps and market trends. She nailed it and priced for perfection, which led to numerous bids and selling for over list to a wonderful buyer. Meg was ALWAYS looking around corners for us and preparing us with experienced advice to make the best decisions, while also bringing in her unparalleled industry knowledge and network of connections in the trades to navigate the due diligence processes. Need a roofer on short notice to give a quote? Meg's got a guy. A handyman to fix up one last detail? Will be there in the morning. There was no detail too small, and Meg managed the process from start to finish in a way that made it easy for us as clients. We learned so much from Meg during this process and feel so good about giving a full throated recommendation to anyone looking to work with someone who genuinely cares about her clients. read more

There is no better real estate agent in the Raleigh market. Period. Meg is a talented project manager at her core, and I'm convinced that there is no one who is better organized or knowledgable about the Raleigh-area markets. She is responsive, detail oriented, and a fierce ally when it comes to buying and selling you home. She helped us sell our last home, and her commitment to getting the pricing right and her recommendation to work with a talented stager ensured that our house not only went on and off the market in two days, but it also sold $10k over asking. Having a knowledgeable listing agent cannot be overstated. Working with Meg on the buy side was equally as smooth. She helped us negotiate some tricky items, and made it all flow like a dream without ruffling feathers or damaging our relationship with the sellers. All in all, we had the world's easiest sale, and the world's easiest and smoothest purchase. This is a direct result of having meg spearhead these efforts and we could go on here forever. Real estate transactions can be a major headache and a heart-wrenching and difficult process. Meg ensured that everything went off without a hitch and we left the transactions with a great sense of relief, pride and joy. Work with Meg, you will not be sorry!! read more

Meg and her team at Ensemble Properties partnered with me and my parents to find my parent's dream home in Raleigh. We all wanted different things in a home, with proximity to me and my family in downtown Raleigh as our top priority. But we also had the competing demands of space, character, warmth, and affordability within our budget, which don't typically align with proximity. The market is tough and unforgiving. Meg persevered with us, home tour after home tour, listened to each of our desires, and helped educate us on the market and what it takes to deliver a compelling, winning home offer. When the time was right and we finally found our "unicorn" dream home, Meg worked her magic and built a relationship with the selling agent to secure our home purchase offline and before the open house. I am convinced that we would not have secured our home without this touch of magic. She then brought in her team of home inspectors to make sure our purchase was secure. And to spread icing on the cake, she then sold my parent's home for way over asking price. She's a miracle worker, rain maker, confidant, and the best damn realtor around. I highly recommend moving with Meg! read more

As a first-time homebuyer and later a first-time seller, working with Meg was an absolute game-changer. I interviewed a few agents before deciding to work with her, and it was an easy decision from the start. Meg's attention to detail, strategic mindset, and dedication made the process seamless and stress-free. She went above and beyond every step of the way. Meg helped me thoroughly review homes, guided me with expert advice, and her negotiation tactics were incredibly effective--leading me to win on my first offer and sell quickly when the time came. Her local connections were invaluable, not only during the process but even after closing, helping me settle in and feel supported in the community. What stood out most was how much I fully trusted her. She helped me expand my vision of what was possible and provided consistent support before, during, and after the sale. Meg's commitment to her clients and her ability to deliver results are unmatched. I would highly recommend working with Meg and her team to anyone navigating the real estate market. read more

Meg Bullard has been the most amazing agent to work with for buying and selling our home ITB! She has treated us like family through and through, always making us feel like her top priority. Meg knows Raleigh real estate better than anyone I've ever met and she knows how to make things happen quickly! She always explains everything at great length and never leaves you hanging with lingering questions of stresses. Meg truly makes the process fun and is such a caring and thoughtful agent. Meg helped us find our dream home and close with no problems whatsoever. She also helped us sell our first sweet home within 2 days on the market! I almost didn't want to say goodbye to our first home after seeing how Meg and her people made it shine! So much goes into buying and selling a home but Meg thinks of everything and she had our backs throughout the whole process. My husband and I highly recommend working with Meg for buying or selling a home in or around Raleigh. read more

This is the second time I've used Meg during the home buying process. This time, we used her for selling our old house and for building the new house. Meg was extremely professional, always on time to meetings and appointments and effectively managed communication between the many contractors we worked with, builder and designer. Our home buying, building and selling process was a piece of cake because we had her as our advocate. I would 11 out of 10 recommend Meg to anyone looking in the RDU area. She has extensive knowledge of Raleigh homes, the market, and many very different neighborhoods. I also wanted to point out that we were working with her during a pandemic and she ensure that we were safe, she were safe and all meetings were held safely (or virtually). She prioritizes her clients comfort and safety and during this pandemic, that means so much. If you are in the market to sell or buy a home, you must work with Meg! read more

Honestly, if you work with anyone else on the roller coaster that is buying and selling your home, you're doing yourself a disservice. Meg rides that roller coaster for you so you can stand on the sidelines and wave, sparing yourself heartburn. As a first time home buyer, she took the time and patience to explain all the real estate things in Layman's terms like I was a Kindergartener. Then, years later when I was a seller, she made me feel like I was a real estate mogul with a Harvard MBA. She handled everything from critical negotiations with buyers to communicating with my renters efficiently and effectively when I was unavailable, and everything in between. I have referred countless friends and family to Meg, all who have had the most positive experience with her. I trust her completely. She always does what is best for her client regardless of if it creates more work for her. MOVE WITH MEG. PERIOD! read more

We've been fortunate to work with Meg on both the buying and selling of a few homes over the years and I am convinced that Meg is by far the best realtor you could work with in the area. When selling, she provides an incredibly effective and meticulous marketing plan that has always resulted in tremendous results for us. Case in point, the last home she helped us list ended up selling for 25% over asking and it was due to her savvy strategy and expertise of the market. On top of her impressive skill set, Meg is an agent with extremely high integrity. When looking for a new home, I've always felt that she genuinely had our best interests in mind. She makes a potentially stressful process truly enjoyable and is an all-around awesome person. Don't waste your time looking around for another realtor. Meg and the Ensemble Team are the best out there and you will be so glad you decided to partner with them. read more

Meg Bullard and Katie Lewis were absolutely amazing during our house buying process. As first time buyers, I know we were not the easiest to work with, but Meg and Katie were nothing but patient and understanding. They are extremely hard working, dedicated, flexible, proactive, savvy and intelligent agents who understand the Raleigh market. They went above and beyond to get us into the exact home we were searching for, in the neighborhood we wanted. I know there were days when they sacrificed time with family to help make sure we stayed on track, throughout the buying and closing process. We are so thankful to have had them both as agents and appreciate everything they did for us. They will be our first choice in the future, if we are ever in the market to buy/sell. We highly recommend them as agents! read more

Meg is the only reason that we currently live in our gorgeous dream house. We were only actively looking for one week, but when we saw this house we knew it was absolutely perfect. Meg was honest with us about other houses we looked at and was meticulous with details to ensure we knew everything about the houses we were seeing. She helped us make a competitive offer and continued to follow-up while we were waiting on an answer. When we felt like we might not be the best offer, she quickly helped us pull together an even better offer which finally got accepted. This market is tough and without Meg we never would have gotten this house. We cannot say enough good things about working with her. On top of being the best agent we've ever worked with, she's a great person with a wonderful sense of humor. read more

We can not say enough great things about Meg and her team! We moved from Richmond, VA and were completely unfamiliar with the triangle. Meg went out of her way to meet with us on weekends to tour us around the different neighborhoods giving us all the necessary info to help choose the best place for us. Katie was extremely responsive and flexible with showings, and always available for questions. Additionally, Meg and her team were very knowledgeable and helpful in making offers and working through negotiations. When it came to closing, Sandra was beyond helpful with making recommendations for inspections, general contractors, and anything else needed during the process. Everyone on Meg's team is amazing to work with and make the home buying process a great experience! read more

Meg was on maternity leave when we were ready to buy, so her buyer's agent, Katie Lewis worked with us. We absolutely loved her! She was very quick to respond whenever we contacted her, and she was fast to set up viewings for houses when one came available. She gave us excellent advice and feedback throughout the entire process and made it very smooth. Once we were under contract, Sandra Bettenhausen also started working with us, since she is Meg's closing specialist. She was so good at negotiating repairs and contacting the sellers on our behalf and once again, did so much work behind the scenes to make everything flow smoothly. It was obvious they were both working hard for us to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. I couldn't recommend them more!! read more

Meg and Katie were our realtors as my wife and I purchased our first home in Raleigh this past fall. Our entire experience with them was top-notch. We highly recommend them. We were rookies to the home buyer process and Meg and Katie assisted us through every stage, including researching the market and neighborhoods, getting approved for financing, setting up customized online listing searches, visiting open houses, negotiating the contract, going through inspections, and preparing for closing. They even fielded multiple late-night anxious questions from us! They made themselves available per our schedule and went out of their way to understand what we were seeking in a home and neighborhood for our family. They are a tremendous team. read more

Meg was both the buying and selling agent of our dreams. When the opportunity to purchase a home near downtown Raleigh presented itself, my husband and I knew we needed to act quickly and efficiently. Meg accompanied us every step of the way - offering insightful advice, making sure all the boxes were checked, and providing crucial expertise in a dynamic and complex housing market. With her vast knowledge of the process and attention to detail, we knew we were in good hands. While the act of buying and selling a home is unlikely to be simple, Meg went above and beyond to ensure we had a very successful experience. read more

I would highly recommend Meg! We called a bunch of real estate agents when we started looking but didn't call any more after we spoke to Meg the first time on the phone. She was just great! Almost every house we looked at were multiple offer situations or ones that she expected to go within a day at above the asking price (she was right). We needed to be aggressive if we were serious and Meg always made it work. She's responsive, assertive and made the entire process as painless as possible. We're very happy with the outcome and will definitely go back to Meg if/when purchasing another home in the area. read more

Meg is AMAZING! She was instrumental in selling our home and helping us determine what best fit our needs in buying our new home. Easy to work with, extremely knowledgable, advocates for her clients, quickly responds to questions, personable, honest, and an overall great person. We've loved working with Meg and highly recommend her. We've already sent her info to our friends who are actively looking for a new home in the RDU area. Thanks Meg! #movewithmeg read more

We were blown away each time we bought/sold with Meg. She puts everything she's got into finding you your perfect home utilizing a vast network of professionals to ensure it's a good fit for your family. When it comes to selling, Meg knows exactly what to do to make your house's best features shine getting you top dollar. She is a wealth of knowledge and so much fun to work with. We wouldn't buy or sell without her! read more

We are in our 50s and have bought, sold and built many times. It is such a stressful time and Meg made it so much easier. She was personable, detail-orientated, honest, informed and on the ball. No other realtor helped us in this way. We were able to manage an emergency elsewhere while in the last week of closing because of her sensitive assistance. We are so impressed with her talent professionalism. read more
