    Meredith is an excellent realtor, who represented me in purchasing a house. We initially met at an open house that she was hosting. We discussed what I was looking for, and she immediately had some ideas that I had not considered. She was great throughout the entire process and was always extremely professional, informative and responsive. Highly recommend

    As first-time homebuyers, we couldnt have asked for a better experienceaEUR"thanks entirely to our incredible realtor, Meredith. From day one, her deep local knowledge helped us navigate neighborhoods with confidence, while her endless patience made the entire process feel low-stress and even fun. What really stood out was Merediths persistence and professionalismaEUR"always one step ahead, anticipating what we needed, advocating for us, and ultimately helping us close in record time. But more than that, she made us feel like we had a trusted friend by our side, every step of the way. Were so grateful for her guidance and heart, and we truly cant recommend her enough!

    After 48 years in our Orinda home, we chose Meredith Peterson to represent us in our move to Trilogy in Brentwood. Meredith helped us purchase our new home in Brentwood, and with the sale of our former home in Orinda. She was absolutely amazing, and we simply could not have made this move without her. Always a joy to work with, she was positive, supportive, responsive, and intimately knowledgeable about the housing markets in both locations. She was constantly checking in with us, never pushy, and always keeping our wants and needs in the forefront of her mind. Highly organized, she was "on top of it" throughout the entire process. We can't speak highly enough of Meredith, and we enthusiastically recommend her for any and all real estate matters.

    We loved working with Meredith because she was incredibly knowledgeable about different areas of the East Bay and schools, drawing on her local expertise and personal experiences. She was well-connected and used her relationships to help us throughout the process. We never felt pressured to put in an offer, as she was great at helping us weigh the pros and cons of each option. Meredith was patient, dedicating weekends to touring neighborhoods, and motivated us to keep searching even when we felt discouraged. When we found our dream home, she hustled to ensure we put our best foot forward, ultimately helping us win the house. After our offer was accepted, the process was smooth thanks to her guidance and expertise. We truly loved working with her and highly recommend her for your home search!

    Can't say enough about Meredith. To start, when we approached her, we were still a year out from being ready to buy. She was patient, knowledgeable, never pressured us, and was ready when we finally pulled the trigger. She has tremendous skills as a real estate agent, and above and beyond feeling like she was a fierce negotiator for us, of equal importance we felt like she knew exactly what we were looking for and which houses were worth pursuing. In the end, we put in a bid on one house and bought it! And we love it! Meredith knows her clients. A little over a year ago, she sold our daughter and son-in-law their first home, in Moraga. We were so impressed with her we hired her, and she was just as adept at presenting the right homes to a young family with kids as she was to some 60 year olds doing a retirement pivot. We whole-heartedly endorse her!
