Pros
Meaghan is incredibly easy to work with. Super helpful every step of the way, personable, patient, and extremely accommodating. I feel like I can talk to her about anything and I can tell she tries her best to get results through.
Cons
Not exactly a con but she is definitely always ready to go and is quick with things. An offer was almost made too quick before I could even verify all the fine details.
