Megan Brenn-White

Megan bought her first apartment on a perfect brownstone block in Park Slope, Brooklyn when she was 22 for $79,000, and that experience showed her just how financially transformative real estate could be. 

After receiving her undergraduate degree from Harvard and her master’s from the London School of Economics, she launched her career in the first dotcom boom, quickly moving to leadership positions for travel and community websites. She went on to establish a thriving international marketing business based in NYC, serving higher education clients in over 20 countries. 

The Hudson Valley and Catskills became the place that she and her husband escaped to for a break from the constant jet lag and to breathe that incredible, sweet air. Instead of just buying a weekend home, they fully committed and decided to move full-time instead. 

A few years later, they own 9 properties in the area and Megan has founded and built the Upstate Curious Team at Compass into one of the most top-performing and successful real estate agent teams in the Hudson Valley and Catskills. Megan has been recognized as one of the top 1.5% of agents nationally by The Wall Street Journal’s Real Trends ranking. She leads a team covering 14 counties that have worked with over 1280+ clients, and sold over $790+ million of real estate since its founding in mid-2019, making it the #1 team in the Hudson Valley and Catskills region. 

Megan is deeply invested in the local community and passionate about helping others connect with each other and their local area, which led her to launch the Upstate Curious App – a lively online community for the Hudson Valley and Catskills region and community app with over 7,000 members. 

Megan has been featured in major publications such as The New York Times, New York Magazine, and The New York Post, and is a frequent speaker in panels and conferences.
