Hi, I’m Megan, a Realtor serving Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and the greater Twin Cities metro area. I help buyers, sellers, and real estate investors make confident decisions throughout the home buying and selling process.
My background as an educator influences every client relationship. I believe real estate guidance should be clear, honest, and easy to understand. Whether you are purchasing your first home in Saint Paul, selling a property in Minneapolis, or exploring investment opportunities in the Twin Cities, I take the time to explain your options so you can move forward with confidence.
Who I help
Over the past six years, I have helped clients buy and sell more than $40 million in real estate across Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and surrounding Twin Cities communities.
Buyers
Guidance for first time buyers, move up buyers, growing families, and anyone trying to make sense of the Twin Cities market.
Sellers
Strategic pricing, thoughtful preparation, professional marketing, and strong communication from listing to closing.
Investors
Support for duplex buyers, multifamily buyers, house hackers, and investors looking for long term opportunity.
Real estate with local impact
Through The HIVE Fund, every home purchase or sale we represent helps support a local nonprofit selected by our clients. Since 2019, we've donated more than $125,000 to organizations making a difference in the Twin Cities community.
Why clients choose Megan
Clients often describe me as knowledgeable, responsive, and approachable. I stay actively involved throughout every stage of the transaction, from property searches and market analysis to negotiations, inspections, financing conversations, and closing.
My goal is to make the process feel manageable while advocating for your best interests every step of the way.
My story
My path into real estate was anything but traditional. After months of hospitalization and chemotherapy, I returned to Saint Paul following several years teaching abroad. At the time, I was working as a substitute teacher and searching for stability. Real estate started as a small step forward during a challenging season and became a career centered on helping others create stability through homeownership.
With the support of The Hive Real Estate Team, I learned the business and eventually purchased my first home, a duplex that helped offset my mortgage and changed my financial future. That experience shaped how I work with clients today. I understand that buying a home can feel overwhelming, especially for first time buyers, but I also know the opportunities that homeownership can create for individuals, families, and investors.
Beyond real estate
Beyond real estate, I’m a mom, avid reader, and aspiring gardener. I’m a member of the Sanneh Foundation Associate Board and am passionate about supporting the Twin Cities community.

Testimonials
We cannot say enough good things about Megan! We started working with her from out of state as we were looking to move to the Twin Cities area. She was very responsive via email and held an intro video call to hear about our wishes for our first home purchase. Once we got to the area, we dove right in to looking at properties. Megan was able to quickly schedule showings for us, accommodating our schedules and working to make the most of our time (seeing houses in one area, having enough time to see a house and travel to the next, etc.). She gave honest feedback about each property, highlighting both positive and negative things we would not have thought about for each space. Once we found a house we wanted to put an offer in on, Megan worked swiftly to get our offer in and we got the house! Beyond her incredible work ethic, Megan is also just a joy to be around. She is professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and made our home buying experience very easy. You cannot go wrong with using Megan as your relator!
My husband and I are first time home-owners and we actually bumped into Megan at the very first open house we attended. We had never met her before but it felt like we had just bumped into an old friend! She's extremely personable while also remaining super professional! We knew absolutely nothing about real estate at the time, and she was extremely helpful to us. She talked us through what things are important and are not, especially for being first time home buyers, and never made us feel pressured to work with her or start house hunting. We really appreciated that. We felt like we could go at our own pace! When it came time to start looking more seriously we got in touch with her again and she sat down with us and answered all of our million newbie questions about real estate, which made us feel a lot more at ease with the process. Once we started touring houses, we noticed how flexible she was and how willing she was to work around our unpredictable schedules. She also had our back throughout the process and would point out any positives or negatives she saw at each house. Something we definitely needed! She was extremely timely in her communication with us and would always respond to our emails or set up tours as soon as she could! We would obviously recommend Megan to anyone looking to purchase a new house. But especially if you are a first time home buyer who feels totally overwhelmed by all the things you DON’T know about the market, we can’t recommend Megan highly enough. She’ll walk you through it all and make you feel comfortable every step of the way!
Megan from The HIVE - Coldwell Banker Realty was phenomenal. Every step of the way she was there to answer my questions (often, repeatedly) and advocate for me as a seller and as a buyer. I would, without hesitation, recommend her to everyone! She knows and loves St. Paul like I do and knew exactly what I was looking for and knew exactly what to ask and look for that I didn’t even think about. She made the whole process so smooth (I’m almost bummed my sale and purchase are complete now because it means I won’t be chatting with her everyday). It was important to me to support businesses that share my values and give back. I love that donations were made to organizations I chose after my sale and purchase. Truly exceptional and I am so happy in my new home! Thank you!
