Megan and her team were such a joy to work with! They are so knowledgeable, honest and well liked in the community, it made the home buying experience so much fun, even for first time buyers in a tough market!

Megan was an excellent agent and vital to our home purchase. She was knowledgeable, skillful, and professional throughout our entire process. Above all though, Megan was trustworthy. As first time homebuyers, we had a ton of questions and concerns about the purchase process. We didn't want to buy the wrong home or get taken advantage of at any point during the offer, inspection, contingency, or escrow period. Megan was incredible though, and put us at ease. She took time to answer all of our questions, guided us to a winning offer, and ensured a smooth escrow. She also made excellent recommendations for an inspector and general contractor. Megan made us comfortable as first time homebuyers, and we always felt that she had our best interests at heart. I would highly recommend Megan as a realtor. She will take great care of you and go above and beyond! read more

Megan Whalen and her team were a real pleasure to work with. I had them lease out my rental property. The whole transaction was very quick and smooth. Megan had a professional photographer come take pictures of our property within a couple of days of us signing a contract with her and a professional looking listing was up on the MLS and many other real estate websites. Once that was completed, Megan's assistant, Seville Mardsen stepped in and handled the prospects generated by the listing. The response to the listing was big and instantaneous. Seville was handled both the prospects and the landlord (me) with the utmost professionalism and grace. Her communication was great and she really made me feel like I was priority #1. We found a couple of qualified tenants quickly despite the fact that I tend to be very picky. I would highly recommend Megan Whalen and her team to anybody! read more

I met Megan Whalen ten years ago. Megan helped me with the purchase of a Condo in Santa Monica and I remembered she showed interest in my needs, dedication to my home search and was there to provide expert advice and information to me as a first time home buyer. She had been referred to me by a close friend who had used Megan in the purchase of a home in Mar Vista and had nothing but wonderful things to say about her. Therefore, I immediately contacted Megan when it came time to list my Condo in Santa Monica. I received three offers after the first open house and ultimately received $37K over my asking price. She is immediate and responsive; rapidly returning all emails. She makes sure as a client that you are fully aware of the status of your negotiation and successfully escorts it through escrow. Megan is one of the most competent and skilled professionals I have met. She looks out for her client's best interests and this is evident from her previous reviews. In real estate, reputation is everything. No one has a better reputation than Megan Whalen and she has earned it by treating her clients, colleagues, and friends with the upmost respect, integrity, and true professionalism. Anyone looking to buy or sell anything from a condo to a multi-million dollar should give her a call. read more

Choose Megan and her team! They are fabulous people - totally knowledgeable, honest, creative and incredibly hard workers. Megan helped us perchance a home in 2013 in Santa Monica. As is often the case, there were multiple bids on the property. Megan guided us on what information to provide the sellers and they accepted our offer. Recently we decided to see that house and buy another one. Both in Santa Monica and both transactions done with Megan and her team. Why? Because she makes it very easy. We were buying a house that was owned by a corporation and had loads of "issues". We also had to make a contingent offer. Apparently, those aren't often accepted. Once again, Megan's experience and business acumen benefited us - we got the house under asking price. Her guidance on the steps necessary to get the maximum asking price for our house got us offers $100k over asking! She's really good at her job. Her vast network of contacts and great relationships throughout the industry make everything --- even crazy LA real estate deals ---pretty easy and straightforward. She is direct, upfront and always has your best interest in mind. Besides all that she's really fun to work with. In fact, I miss talking to her once our houses sold and closed. I will say that I did everything Megan asked - I didn't spend time questioning her or asking why - I trust her and let her do her job - it got me a great new house and well over asking price. read more

Megan has unparalleled expertise in the Sunset Park / Santa Monica area where we have done three different transactions with her. Megan's experience speaks for itself in her negotiating skills, and in anticipating every hurdle way in advance. She has gone above and beyond to make sure everything was perfectly handled in each of our deals with her. She's also relaxed and fun, and makes the process easy. We will work with her again! read more

I've known Megan for a few years as she has worked with a family member of mine to buy and sell multiple properties in Los Angeles. She's lovely, prompt, and an expert at finding relevant properties. She found my new home before it even made it to market, and was able to execute the deal efficiently and effectively while I was out of the country. I wouldn't have my condominium if it weren't for her flexibility and follow up! read more

Megan and Seville are the best! We had already been looking for a while when we started working with them and were pretty tired of the whole process. They were attentive, supportive, and worked hard to help us finally find a place. Once we did, they made sure the whole escrow process went smoothly. Definitely a team you want in your corner. read more

We met Megan at an open house she was holding in Santa Monica and knew right away we wanted to work with her to find us a house. We were relocating to the area and she helped us with everything. Sent us listings when we were out of town, showed us properties on a few trips out here and finally negotiated for us to buy a perfect house. We always felt like she was on our team. And she was easy to get ahold of, very thorough and knowledgable about everything. We feel lucky to have found Megan and can't recommend her enough. read more

We worked with Megan Whalen & her team to sell my mother's townhome, and can only praise Megan's expertise, professionalism, responsiveness & thoroughness. She listens to the client's needs & ideas, which along with her excellent suggestions make the transaction a true partnership. Megan recommended appropriate, experienced subcontractors (inspectors, craftspeople, repair contractors, stagers, etc.); and her business experience & knowledge of the local real estate market helped maximize our return (18% over our asking price!). Very simply, Megan is a kind, fair, fun & pleasant person who also happens to be a highly competent & successful realtor!! read more

Megan helped us purchase our first home. If you have been trying to buy on the Westside then you know the inventory is limited and it's difficult to compete against all cash buyers. That's where Megan's expertise, and community ties came into play. With her hard work and help we found the perfect place for our family. read more

Megan was recommended to us by a friend who has been in Santa Monica for many years. We love, love our home and even though the sellers were not the easiest, Megan really helped us with all the details including the "personalities" we needed to contend with. She really knows the area/homes and was excellent during the complicated, nerve-wracking process. Btw the way, she literally runs and bikes the street so she knows ALL the homes and obviously she knows all the players in real estate bc she's been doing this for ages. This knowledge really comes into play if you get into a multiple bid scenario. Also she has solid trades people who we reached out to to look at the home. Thanks so much Megan!! read more

Megan was always on the spot....helped move escrow through on our all cash purchase (with the usual hiccups). We got our home, which was a pocket listing, because Megan and those in her office are totally connected! Thanks Megan. read more

Megan and I have worked together for several years now. I own a building that she has found very good tenants for. She is worth every penny of her commission. Better to have good tenants than a few dollars more. Megan delivers quality tenants for me. She is more of a partner than an agent. read more

Megan is a jewel - her team golden. She's fun, friendly and competent. I had two vacant units that were rented to the right people within 10 days. She got the price I wanted and the tenants I wanted and I am VERY picky. I intend to work with her in future and would highly recommend anyone else in need of help to do the same. It's the rare real estate person who gets YOU and what YOU want. I am most appreciative. read more

Megan is an excellent real estate agent. She began working with us even though we were not ready to buy, maintained a strong relationship and then actively supported us when our search really began. Once we found the house of our dreams, she worked quickly to make our package look competitive while in our comfort level, especially when there were 7 other offers. We were accepted and then her and her team guided us through the entire process until closing. As new homebuyers in California, she was extremely helpful, always so responsive and treated us like we had known here for years. I highly recommend Megan! read more

My husband and I moved from Chicago to LA this past summer. After looking online at countless rental sites we found Megan Whalen's site. Megan Seville Marsden contacted us right away and we're so glad she did. Megan Seville was a joy to work with and made relocating across the country that much easier. We decided to rent and after getting a sense of what we were looking for, Megan sent us regular email updates with details about available apartments. We made two trips to LA to look for housing. On each trip, Megan set up appointments for us. She also drove us to appointments and along the way shared information about places to eat and local shopping. As someone with no knowledge of LA, this was super helpful. When we found a place, Megan helped with the application process and made sure everything went smoothly. In short, Megan is awesome and we highly recommend her. If we move again or decide to buy she would be the first person we contact. read more

We worked with Megan and her amazing team to purchase a 2 bd / 2.5 ba town home in Santa Monica. We are first time home buyers and began our house hunt several months ago from NYC. After reading online reviews we decided to contact Megan on the basis that her reviewers had put thought and effort into giving Megan well-earned praise rather than cursory/customary reviews. From our first conversation, we knew that we made the right choice. She walked us through the entire process and set realistic expectations, including the potential difficulties of competing with other buyers when we had less than 20% down. Throughout the process, we had complete confidence that we had the most knowledgeable, detail oriented and honest advocate on our side possible. Even better, she demonstrated in several steps in the process that she was only out for our best interests. We encountered a couple of pretty significant obstacles in the offer and escrow process that Megan handled with patience and ease. This is a scary process, that was made a lot less so, because we could put full trust in her. There is no question that we would look up Megan next time we're in the hunt and would happily recommend her. read more
