Maureen introduced us to an area we were only starting to get to know. No one knows PV better than Maureen. She's a pleasure to work with. I would a absolutely recommend her.

As a non-local buyer, I needed someone with deep local knowledge and connections, who could help get things done on my behalf, and whom I could count on 100%.  Maureen raised her family on the Palos Verdes Peninsula and knows the area like the back of her hand; she has been incredibly generous with her time and expertise, guiding me throughout a long process of searching, negotiating, closing, and even after the closing; and she has been totally trustworthy, looking out for my interests even ahead of her own. After my [...]

I have used Maureen Megowan for both buying and selling real estate recently and would highly recommend her. Her knowledge of the local real estate market is very good. She also listens to her clients needs and strives to fulfill them.

Maureen went above and beyond in selling my mother's house. As I live out of state, Maureen supervised all the repairs and improvements to the house. This was an extremely difficult situation as my mother had lived in the house for 40 years and now lived out of state. Many, many repairs and improvements were required and you supervised them for us with great skill and efficiency. This is something exceptional as most realtors would not even attempt to assist us in the manner you did. The house turned out beautiful! [...]

Getting a good price for a family home is not always easy, but we did. With Maureen's help and hard work, we were able to get our home of more than 35 years prepped for sale and looking its best within an amazingly short time. She's not kidding when she says sit back and enjoy letting her do the work... and that was really important to us because of our being out of the area. Her advertising reached all the right parties and we had well-attended open house events from the [...]

Maureen is an excellent realtor. We discussed our situation with her and gave her the parameters of what we were trying to accomplish with the purchase of a new home and she truly "did the rest" in a very professional manner. Her ability to understand and process our needs with respect to the current reality of the local real estate market in the area we had defined, lead us to relevant properties quickly. She knows all aspects of the real estate business, whether it be a short sale, foreclosure, rental, renter, [...]

Maureen turned a very stressful cross country house hunt into a great experience. Her knowledge spans not only real estate but also the shopping, restaurants, schools, and culture of the area. She assisted us in beginning our life in CA not just in buying our home. She is a fabulous realtor.

As overseas buyers with no prior experience of the US property market, Maureen was instrumental in navigating us through an unfamiliar process. She went beyond expectations to get the deal through.

When she says take a seat, she means it! Above and beyond the call of duty, Maureen will be there for every inspection, walk through and detail, no matter how small. Whatever is needed, even providing artwork or accent pieces from her own collection, she will go the extra mile to make your home look its best and get it sold. Pricing the property at the highest realistically potential price proved optimal getting it sold quickly.

We were fortunate to have contracted with Maureen Megowan as our real estate agent to purchase a townhome in Redondo Beach. We had many obstacles to overcome, and Maureen was on top of the transaction from start to finish. Then came the sale of our condo after we moved from Rolling Hills Estates, which also came with its own hurdles. With her experience and advice throughout the transaction, we had a successful close and a happy result. Thanks, Maureen!

Maureen is a very dedicated realtor who I would recommend to anyone trying to buy or sell a home.She worked very, very hard for us and always kept a positive attitude throughout the difficult process of trying to sell a very old home with lots of problems. She went above and beyond what I would expect from a realtor in a tireless and tenacious fashion.I don't think I would ever get as much personal attention from another realtor and now consider Maureen a good friend.

Unlike a lot of agents who are simply "listing agents" and let someone else do all the work, Maureen was personally involved in every aspect of selling my property in Palos Verdes Estates. She provided valuable advice regarding the appearance and presentation of the property all the way through to the closing of escrow. She has an intimate and thorough knowledge of her "market area" and anyone who is selling (or buying) in the South Bay would be wise to make her part of their team.

Maureen was wonderful to work with and she helped us purchase our first home. She walked us through every step of the home buying process and explained everything very thoroughly. She is extremely knowledgeable and she listened to us and offered great insight and advice during our search. Then when we were in escrow she fought hard to see that all of our needs were met and went above and beyond her call of duty.We highly recommend Maureen as a realtor, she made our home buying process as smooth and enjoyable [...]

We located Maureen through the internet before we moved to California and found the website, her emails, phone calls, and listings so helpful. She helped our transition moving across country and eased my fears about finding the perfect house as quickly as possible. From the first day we met, Maureen was so hospitable and really went the extra mile to show us every property and community possible in our price range. What really stands out about Maureen is how she really took us under her wing, paid so much attention to [...]

It was great to work with Maureen. Her wisdom, competence and professionalism made all the difference in selling our condo. We highly recommend Maureen for anyone selling a home or condo in Palos Verdes. She is very knowledgeable about the real estate market there and will help you get the right price for your property and get it done. Thank you Maureen for all your hard work and your friendship as well.
