About the Listing Agent
Grit, tenacity, and joy are the top three things that Meredith aims to bring to her clients every day. Born and raised right outside Philadelphia in Bucks County and currently residing in Fishtown, Meredith is suburban raised and Philly obsessed; a true expert in both the City and the surrounding Pennsylvania and New Jersey suburbs. Meredith’s ability to learn quickly and teach effectively provides something to her clients that they will be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. She is tirelessly and constantly gaining knowledge of the current market and industry trends, processing it, and helping her clients use that information to give each of them an enormous advantage when listing their Home or buying their next one. It was Meredith’s previous career as a pediatric diabetes educator that developed her thoughtful listening ear and ability to educate and empower those around her through some of life’s biggest changes and decisions. Meredith’s mission is to help everyone love where they live as much as she does and her background has taught her how to communicate her clients’ wants and needs well, advocate for them, and listen to all parties so that everyone wins. Her relationships with other Realtors in the industry across all brokerages make for easy and smooth transactions, free of tension or animosity. Moving should be exciting and if she is sticking to her mission to help everyone find a place they love, she is committed to taking the stress away and letting that love shine through. Meredith could talk real estate 24/7, but she does make sure to make time for other things once in a while! She is an avid sports fan, rooting for all things Philly along with her alma mater, the University of Pittsburgh. A long walk exploring the City with her husband and their beagle on a Sunday morning while eating fresh Philly soft pretzels is her idea of the perfect day. Meredith looks at her job not as “selling”, but as helping and her clients not as “clients”, but as friends. As soon as you become a client of Meredith’s, you are a friend for life and she will always be there to help her friends with a heaping dose of true Philadelphia Brotherly love.
