Sold a home in 2011.Summary:
We met Megan at a Capitol Hill open house and were impressed with her knowledge of the Hill market and her easy going demeanor. Months later, when we were ready to purchase a new home, we called Megan to both help us put an offer in on the new home and to sell our current house. She was wonderful to work with as both a buying and selling agent. We always felt well represented in negotiating the offer to buy our new house. Megan also guided us through the process to get our house ready for sale. Thanks to her expertise and advice, we were able sign a contract to sell our house in 5 days with multiple offers. Megan made the entire process as stress free as possible. We have already recommended her to many of our friends looking to buy a new home and highly recommend her to anyone wanting to buy or sell on Capitol Hill.…More Less

Bought a Single Family home in 2011 for approximately $600k in Capitol Hill, Washington, DC.Summary:
My husband and I are first time home buyers and worked with Megan Shapiro for the first time. She was extremely patient and professional, which made us feel comfortable throughout the whole overwhelming process of buying your first home. Meg is extremely knowledgeable of the Capitol Hill neighborhood, which is one of the main reasons we chose her. We wanted to find someone who loved the neighborhood just as much as we did. She was professional and prompt, and responded to our phone calls and emails right away, yet she was also extremely personable and sweet, which made us feel like we were working with a friend. She was very good at listening to our wants and needs and showing us houses that fit but also showed us options that we would never have thought of, and ultimately ended up liking those houses too. I think a quality of a good realtor is never feeling pressured to buy a house. We told Meg that we were in no hurry to buy a house and didn’t want to settle on just anything. She never made us feel pressured and sure enough, we found our perfect house.…More Less

Bought a Single Family home in 2010 for approximately $725k in Capitol Hill, Washington, DC.Summary:
Meg gently but adeptly guided us as we sought to buy a new house. Our schedules were tricky, and we were, at times, wishy-washy about the prospect of a new project. Nonetheless, Meg went to a great number of showings with us and honestly and openly responded to our feelings on each one. When we found the new house for us, Meg had done her homework; knew the seller's agent; and persuasively handled negotiations. We did little more than sign the forms. We genuinely enjoyed our time with Meg and would highly recommend her for her professionalism and pleasant demeanor. Meg will also be selling our current house in the near future, and she has already given good advice on preparations and pricing.…More Less

Megan Shapiro
I grew up nearby in Rockville, Maryland, and went to high school in DC. I then spent 12 wonderful years living in New Orleans and Atlanta. In my past lives, I traveled around the world working for CNN's Turner International Sales Office, and started and ran a restaurant in Atlanta with my husband.
Capitol Hill welcomed my family with open arms in 2002. We currently own 2 businesses and send our kids to school here, and we still can't get over how lucky we are to be in such a wonderful community with some of the world's greatest amenities steps away. I want to help everyone find that happiness, wherever it might be for them.

I was born in Detroit, Michigan and raised in Los Altos, California about 45 miles south of San Francisco. I went to college at the University of California, Davis and studied Environmental Policy. After a stint in the Central African Republic doing fish farming with the Peace Corps I returned to the San Francisco Bay Area and started working with a high tech firm. This led me to Washington, DC in 1989, and working as a medical systems consultant on a variety of Department of Defense Projects world wide. My wife and I met in DC, then moved to Kaneohe, Hawai'i for four years before having the first of our three children, then moving back to Capitol Hill.
The Washington area is a great place to live and I often feel like I'm selling a lifestyle as much as an address. My wife and I bought an old house, renovated it and watched our neighbors do the same thing. We feel we've helped build our community, and I get great satisfaction helping others discover DC's many different neighborhoods as well.
