ZillowVERIFIEDI listed my condo with Meg while living abroad, so I needed an agent who would be detail-oriented, communicative, and mindful of my interests from afar. Unfortunately, Meg fell short in each of these areas. The most serious issue: upon accessing my unoccupied condo to prepare for the listing, Meg turned on the heat and left the thermostat at 70. She was unable to adjust it and, rather than notify me, left it running. I only found out when I received my electric bill. Despite subsequent requests to lower the thermostat and shut off unnecessary electrical use, the issue was never fully addressed. The result was a 15%+ increase in my monthly condo expenses for every month we worked together. To be clear, my condo was intentionally running minimal electricity before she got involved and it was clear that was important to me. By simply letting her into my property, my costs went up and stayed up. Communication was equally frustrating. Meg lost track of emails I had sent, then made claims about things I had said that were demonstrably false. When I raised legitimate concerns about the service I was receiving, the responses ranged from passive-aggressive to outright gaslighting. After our listing agreement expired, I had to follow up repeatedly just to get the keys to my own property returned. To her credit, the listing photography was professional. The property was listed for three months and received only a single showing, but I don't necessarily blame Meg for that given the market conditions. Still, strong marketing means little when basic property stewardship and client communication are this poor. I would not recommend Meg for anyone who needs to list remotely or who expects proactive, accountable service. If something goes wrong, expect explanations and deflection rather than ownership.

ZillowVERIFIED You will be throwing money away if you dont use Meg. She truly puts her clients first. She never hesitated to tell us what drawbacks were present when she showed us a condo, and told us when a condo was overpriced. Following Megs sage advice saved us thousands of dollars, and put us in a magnificent condo.

ZillowVERIFIED Not only did Meg manage to sell our house within a week of listing, but she also sold it at a 20% higher price than the prices suggested by other realtors interviewed. She understands sellers' desire to price the house at the highest possible and to sell it quickly at the same time, and she perfectly balances these competing requirements. Meg knows highly competent staff for renovating, cleaning, photographing, moving, etc., who can help the seller get the house ready and beautiful for listing and showing. It goes without saying that she is always punctual, attentive, courteous, resourceful, respectful, as well as kind and thoughtful.

ZillowVERIFIED We interviewed several agents. Meg immediately impressed us with her knowledge of our area and her preparation in advance of our initial meeting. She provided a clear understanding of the complete process; from preparing the home for sale, arriving at a asking price, and completing the seller's paperwork. Meg was always available by text, phone, or email to answer our questions. We had an open house on Sunday and accepted an above asking price sale contract on Tuesday! Meg advised us on and handled all the negotiations of the buyer's inspection notice. She made what could have been a daunting process quick, easy, and painless. If we could, we'd give Meg 10 stars!

Review for Member: Meg Coghlan
ZillowVERIFIED We interviewed several real estate agents. We also put together extensive data driven information to help us analyze and value our home. Despite doing so, two thirds of the candidate agents suggested placing the value of our home nearly 20% below market value. This at a time when the market was hot. We choose Meg Coghlan in part because she LISTENED to our reasoning as it related to the condition, amenities, and value of our home. More significantly, Meg provided rationale direction, calm and measured mediation with prospective buyers, and professional communication. While other agents clearly looked for an easy, quick sale by pricing our home below market, Meg took time to understand our home, the neighborhood and value. Meg not only ensured we didn't leave anything on the table, she helped us retain $100,000+ in equity in our home. Meg made recommendations in terms of preparing our home for sale and was always quick to respond to questions. We found Meg through referrals from other satisfied clients, and that speaks to both her value to clients as well as her professionalism. Meg Coghlan is a class act... a professional who we continue to trust as a real estate advisor. On every level, we remain appreciative of her advice, support and personal demeanor.

ZillowVERIFIED It was such a pleasure to work with Meg- she was honest, knowledgeable, thorough, helpful, reassuring, calming, and kind. We liked her so much we used her again to sell my mother in laws condo. After the final sale, I called my friend who has recommended Meg and thanked her for doing so. I am so grateful that we had someone so good and kind to work with and help us through, plus she is just a pleasure to be around.

ZillowVERIFIED Meg Coghlan is a realtors realtor. Her professionalism amd patience made our buying process a pleasure of a process. We were aEURoeshopping virtuallyaEUR? and Meg took us on many virtual tours in St Louis while we were still in Los Angeles. Not only did she provide a seamless buying experience, Meg has been just as responsive to questions about the house after we purchased our new home in St Louis. For example, we have never had a boiler heating system or dealt with winterizing sprinkler systems, and Meg continues to be an ongoing and easily available resource for anything a CA transplant would need to know about the care and feeding of a St Louis Midwest home. Beyond that, my wife and I have developed a relationship with her and her partner that transcends anything transactional; its a pleasure to call Meg a friend. I strongly encourage anyone in the University City area who is buying or selling to work with Meg. You wont just get the house of your dreams, youll also get to meet and work with someone truly remarkable and spectacular.

ZillowVERIFIED Meg was wonderful. She was responsive, professional, and thorough... and made my wife and my experience incredibly stress-free. She even kept in touch post-close, asking how moving-in was coming along and seeing if there was any way she could be helpful. She is a gem. My wife and I have already sent her referrals and will continue to do so in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED Meg was extremely helpful during our fall 2020 housing search in the St. Louis area. The market was very tight at this time, but Meg helped us navigate it with skill, patience, and enthusiasm. We saw a number of houses that were not a great fit, but Meg never pushed or rushed us. When we saw the perfect house, Meg helped us get a pre-emptive offer accepted through savvy negotiation skills. We highly recommend Meg and hope to work with her again.

ZillowVERIFIED After 24 years in a great neighborhood and a home we loved, we made the decision to relocate to be near our family whom we adore. We found many things in real estate had changed in that 24 years but Meg s understanding and expertise smoothed the way. She listened to our wants & needs, answered all our questions and was always just a phone call, text or email away. Meg was with us when the beautiful photos of our home were taken, she was with us at our closing and all the in between. We could not have had a better person in our corner!!!

ZillowVERIFIED We chose Dielmann Sotheby s and Meg Coghlan based on their superior marketing resources and reputation, including extensive market knowledge, use of technology and online resources. Meg Coghlan does an exceptional job of sell-side representation driving qualified buyers to the table. She has extensive knowledge of and experienced in the St. Louis County central corridor market. Meg also brings a high professional manner and great personal reputation within the real estate community. Meg was very responsive and moved quickly to get our listing on the market. We were very pleased with the professionals she recommended for staging and photography. Meg was spot-on with her market and valuation information and assisted us in coming up with a plan to market our home which resulted in a very strong price while maintaining a high level of buyer interest. The strategy resulted in a quick contract and fast sale. We would highly recommend Meg for sales in the St. Louis County central corridor and would be very willing to work with her again.

ZillowVERIFIED We have only high praise for Meg Coghlan . My husband and I recently relocated to U-City from the east coast. Meg was helpful at every step of the process from getting oriented to the area, throughout the three month home search phase and up until closing / post-closing help. She provided quick responses to all of our questions, dogged-thoroughness and attention to details, excellent knowledge of the UCity neighborhoods, and so much more. Would recommend her realtor services to all.

ZillowVERIFIED Meg was incredibly helpful and knowledgable. She took the time to understand what we were looking for while giving practical input when appropriate. She was never pushy. She knew the area very well, and she was able to help us understand a whole lot of different features in prospective homes that we werent familiar with. She was always prompt in getting us in to see homes we were interested in and communicating with sellers. The house we chose ended up being perfect for us and she represented us incredibly well in the whole process of inspections, negotiations, and paperwork. It was a for sale by owner, which can be pretty different than going through a sellers agent, but she knew what she was doing and handled the process expertly. Her personality is friendly and helpful but also professional. Seriously, I couldnt have been happier with Meg and I am super happy to reccomend her.

ZillowVERIFIED We knew we wanted to find a house in U City, but we had no idea what to expect. Meg was super knowledgeable about the local market. When we went to visit homes, shed be able to quickly let us know how things compared, whether the price was reasonable, whether something seemed strange, etc.We ended up going after a home that was for sale by owner, which makes the process a bit more complicated. However, Meg was constantly there helping us navigate the various twists and turns. So happy she was recommended to us.

Review for Member: Meg Coghlan
ZillowVERIFIED Megs reputation did not match the service we received:When we listed with Meg in October 2017, we agreed upon dates for both an open house and an agent open house within the first week on the market. While the weekend open house was successful, Meg did not show up for the agent open house that we had scheduled, and forgot to tell us that she cancelled it. We had paid to have leaves removed from our yard, our home cleaned, our dog taken to a kennel, and compromised our young childs needs to prepare for this event that Meg didnt call nor show up for. After a lengthy discussion, and being assured that she would make it up to us, we received a first offer and were under contract a week later. Meg assured us that we had an extremely qualified, perfect buyer. Fast forward three weeks and we received a call from Meg informing us that the buyer was backing out because she was overwhelmed. Meg could not provide us any other information, nor had she herself reviewed the inspection reports when informing us. Nothing in the inspection reports indicated major problems. At this point, a week before Thanksgiving, we had not only lost valuable time, but also opportunity due to Megs negligence on holding the agent open. We requested a meeting with Megs broker. While the meeting was scheduled a week later, we received another offer significantly lower than the first. Meg attempted several times to forego our scheduled meeting with her broker, stating the he was a very busy man, and that he was well aware that she had missed the agent open. We insisted on the meeting to discuss our disappointment, but were further disappointed by our interaction with her broker. He was dismissive of our grievances, specifically regarding repeated lapses in communication, and kept reminding us that Meg is a top rated agent in University City. We found Megs negotiating skills to be inadequate throughout the process, and found her to be in favor of getting the deal done, rather than advocating on our behalf. On at least two occasions, Meg cited that she was going to the movies and would draft our counter offers the following day. Meg did sell our home, with several more hiccups in the deal, including a delayed closing. Each time an issue arose, she said that it was the first time she ever encountered such a problem and that she could not have foreseen it. Meg did not show up for our closing appointment, and only informed us as such when we were arriving at the title company. She received her full commission. We have been thoroughly disappointed by the service and skills that Meg and her broker demonstrated.

ZillowVERIFIED Meg did an amazing job selling our home! We listed our home at the worst possible time (week before Christmas) and she was able to market and bring in 75+ people to our first open house! I was shocked at how many showing we had and I believe the credit is due to the fact she mailed a postcard to potential buyers, had amazing photos taken of our home, and held a brokers open to capture the attention of the buyers agents. This combined with extremely competitive pricing for the market got us 2 nearly full price offers- one being cash with a very quick close date. She gave us great tips on home maintenance to prepare for listing and I felt like this was an additional value add that most agents dont offer. Our poor neighbor had been trying to sell for 45 days before we listed still had no offers when we settled. Needless to say, they fired their agent and called Meg!

ZillowVERIFIED We worked with Meg on the recent sale of my parents house. I think we first started discussion in 2015. It took us far longer to clean out and prepare the house sale than we expected. Throughout the clean out and preparation process Meg was very patient and provided excellent advice. She was also a good listener and understood what our goals and resources were. For most, real estate transactions are few and far between. It is important that the agent be a trusted adviser. Meg certainly is that. We will definitely recommend her to anyone buying or selling and will contact her first the next time we need real estate services.

She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the local market, especially the University City neighborhood.My husband and I both have erratic schedules but Meg was very flexible and patient with us. She tells you her honest opinion but is not pushy at all. She is very responsive and was available anytime we needed her. She helped us navigate tough negotiations. She is extremely professional but also warm and friendly. My husband and I learned so much about home ownership from her. Even after closing I know I can call her anytime for questions or recommendations. We will be calling her when we need a sellers agent in the future. Highly recommended.

ZillowVERIFIED Meg is an expert on the local real estate market. She is extremely professional and hard working. In our home sale process, she was especially helpful in helping us identify needed repairs and finding good quality local contractors. Her marketing program was excellent. We were particularly impressed with her writing skills and use of high caliber photography to produce beautiful marketing materials. During negotiations she was always professional and positive. We would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her to others.

ZillowVERIFIED My family had the pleasure to work with Meg in both selling and also purchasing our next family home. Meg was not just my agent but through the 7 months of working with her she became part of our family. She was crucial in helping us sell our home; from staging and repair ideas to the actual selling process. Even though she works with many clients at one time (because she is good at what she does) she always made us feel that we were her only priority. My wife was due with our daughter any day so finding a new home was crucial. Again, Meg went out of her way to help us find the perfect home, and was always available to go on showings. We actually put an offer in on our current home the day before my wife went into labor. Even though I was not always available through this process due to the circumstance Meg was able to keep the sellers engaged all while being sensitive to us welcoming in our new addition. Meg is a reliable friend that my family can always count on. I know I could call her today for anything, and she would drop everything, and again make me feel that my family was the only thing that mattered.

ZillowVERIFIED I highly recommend Meg Coghlan at Dielmann Sotheys Realty. She is exceptional! She sold my home in University Hills in just hours last summer and she also helped me navigate a very complex real estate interaction in buying my new home, also in University Hills in U City. My new home increased in value 22 percent in the first 6 months. She helped me negotiate a very good price. She is very personable, responsive, honest, smart, and I loved working with her. She is very experienced!

ZillowVERIFIED I have only glowing praise for Meg. We heard about her from our neighbors who sold their house in a day working with her. She was dependable, trustworthy, she had our back, was responsive, and best of all, she got the job done. She gave us excellent advice and really went out of her way to help with all kinds of things that probably are nowhere to be seen in a realtors job description (helped us find contractors, painters, roofers, etc.). She was both relaxed, pleasant to deal with but also efficient, keeping us focused on what we needed to do to move things forward. I would highly recommend her without reservation.

ZillowVERIFIED Since we are new to St. Louis area, we searched for an agent on Zillow. We decided to hire Meg after interviewing several of the agents. Meg is very professional, knowledgeable about local market, and puts our interests first. She is very easy to work with. We consider ourselves a little picky in looking for this house. It took us almost 6 months, after seeing many many houses, to have finally purchased a house thats almost perfect for us. Meg never pushed us to buy any house. She was always on time and kept us informed all the time. We want to do some remodeling on the house. Meg has been very helpful and referred many contractors and other professionals to us. Looking back, we are very glad that we hired Meg. She made our house hunting process so much easier. Thank you, Meg!

ZillowVERIFIED Meg took us through both the sale of our house, and purchase of our new house. She gave us great advice and encouragement about the work we needed to to do in order bring our 109 year old house to its shining best! Basically, she served as friend, mentor, a little bit of a nag (in the best get-it-done way). She was professional, knowledgeable, willing to cheer us up when things went wrong and help us realize that when your shopping for a house, you are going to have to adjust to accepting some things that will need to be done, or pay a higher price for perfection! We were delighted to sell our house quickly for a price that pleased us, and delighted with our new house. Call Meg - thats my advice. Shellie Hexter

Because I left the area before my house was sold Meg helped to get quotes from workmen, let them into the house and checked that the work was done properly. I could not have sold my house without her help. She is outstanding, I highly recommend Meg.

ZillowVERIFIED I have never had such a dedicated and committed realtor in my entire life. I have bought and sold over 6 home and Meg tops them all. She worked very closely with me on the best price point, how to best stage my home for selling and more importantly she stood with me through the many issues that go with selling a home. I have never had a realtor help me to make sure that the repairs I made on the house were done well and at the best price posable. On top of all that she was there for me many time when I need assistance to make sure an inspection took place or a repair was made so I could continue on with my daily work life. She was a God send and on top of all that I sold my home for the price I wanted so I could move on to my new home. She helped me with the purchase of my new home with much assistance even after the sale was completed. I appreciate the way Meg listened to me, offered great advise and even helped me calm down when times got a little rough. Anyone who chooses her to assist them in selling or buying a home would be blessed to have her by their side through the entire process. Thanks again Meg for all you have done. Michael
