"My wife and I had an amazing experience working with Meredith. She was extremely knowledgeable about Essex County and put us in the best position to vie for homes in an extremely competitive market. Additionally, she is such a nice and relatable person that made what can be a stressful process that much more calming."

★★★★★
"Meredith not only met but exceeded our expectations via a vis her professionalism, integrity, responsiveness and consultative approach. She gave us what we wanted and more importantly what we needed. We always knew were her priority, she kept us calm and on track. She came to know our kids and our dog and became part of our family during our journey. I believe we have also found a friend in Meredith - which speaks volumes about her as a person! 5 stars | A+ | Wonder Woman (which is one of the emojis she once shared with me and illustrates her sense of humor!)"

"Meredith Bergmann is the absolute BEST realtor I have ever had the pleasure to work alongside. As a retired military veteran who has moved numerous times and dealt with countless realtors, I can honestly say Meredith has hands down set the bar. Shortly after retiring I met Meredith and immediately presented her with a detailed list of non-negotiable requirements for the house I was looking to purchase. Undaunted and confident, Meredith promised to find that house; and to no surprise, she did. She took every specific want I laid out and meticulously searched until she found a house that checked ALL the boxes. As a first-time buyer in New Jersey, Meredith’s patience and realtor acumen allowed me to navigate the buyer’s process with ease. Six years later it was time to sell and move again; however, this time was anxiety free as I knew exactly who I could count on. Without fail, Meredith listened to what I wanted to do, when I wanted to sell and what price I wanted to sell for. Even when I had to delay the sale of the house three times, Meredith was extremely supportive and seamlessly adjusted to the new timeline and worked with each contractor to reschedule.. With the utmost professionalism and grace, Meredith embraced the role as the overall key planner and coordinator for EVERYTHING from painting and renovations, installation of new fixtures, to cleaners and stagers. As a person who doesn’t have an eye for interior design, it was Meredith who once again saved the day! She transformed my house from an eclectic myriad of military “stuff” to an eye-catching modern and welcoming layout for potential new buyers. There is no doubt her advice and expertise were the defining factors in ultimately selling fast and receiving well above the asking price. This was no small feat, but Meredith’s undeniable talent and genuine care for her clients allowed me to sell and close in under 30 days. I couldn’t (and wouldn’t) recommend any other realtor to use! In fact, I asked Meredith if she knew any realtors in the location I was moving to and she said she would look into it. Then just like that and to no surprise, she connected me to another trusted realtor. As always, Meredith goes far above and beyond and I will forever owe her a debt of gratitude.."

"We met Meredith Bergmann approximately one year ago in the fall of 2020. We were quite impressed with her success in selling a home in our neighborhood that had sat on the market for over six months. That particular home had been listed with another realtor but never really gained traction as we noticed very little activity week after week. What was particularly confusing to us, was that the owners had painstakingly remodeled the home floor by floor. We thought that it would surely sell quickly. When Ms. Bergmann listed the home, it sold within a couple of months. My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Meredith Bergmann to sell our home. It was not the typical home in that it was a large mother daughter style, with a carriage house, on an acre of land. Simply put, Meredith was undaunted and approached the task with an incredible vision and focus for success. Throughout the process, she was knowledgeable, supportive and patient so that we could fully understand the details step by step. She provided critical maintenance tips (dos and don’ts) to better prepare our home to meet the buyers’ eye. Her experience as a realtor proved to be invaluable. She is concerned about her clients in making things manageable and assisted in talking us off the proverbial ledge more than once during the process. We received an offer the first day. She continued to provide the same level of clear and consistent communication until closing. We had a remarkable experience as she always had our best interested in mind. That alone made the difference for us. We feel very fortunate that we decided to work with Meredith."

""House-hunting in the Montclair area during the peak of Covid as first-time homebuyers seemed incredibly daunting, to say the least. Despite the highly competitive market and generally stressful times, Meredith managed to make our home search experience a truly enjoyable one. From our very first phone call, she was friendly and engaging while exhibiting a wealth of knowledge. Her extensive background in urban planning and years of experience in real estate, along with her natural eye for layout and design, makes her an incredible asset for both buyers and sellers. Not only did we have the utmost confidence in her abilities, but her no-nonsense, pressure-free approach made us feel at ease. She is a true professional in every sense of the word and consistently made herself available to answer any questions we had throughout the entire process, all while maintaining a positive attitude and sense of humor. It is evident that Meredith genuinely cares for her clients and takes great pride in her work, offering a full-service experience; she connected us with an exceptional real estate attorney and served as a valuable resource for inspectors and contractors while providing expert renovation advice. Meredith is everything you could ever hope for in a real estate professional and we are so grateful to her for playing such a large part in finding a forever home for our family. We feel so fortunate to have chosen her as our agent and we cannot recommend her enough.""

"Meredith is a local gem! She worked with our family patiently for a year as we navigated pregnancy, renovations, the pandemic, and our ultimate decision to move abroad. Meredith skillfully guided us every step of the way and helped us obtain a sale price that exceeded our hopes by leaps and bounds. Ca-ching! In short, she WORKED for us: from referring trusted contractors, giving staging and landscaping advice, down to suggesting specific pieces to enhance our home's aesthetic. Yes, she's that good."

"We worked with Meredith for quite a few months. She was very patient in our search and never pressured us on any of the houses we saw. Meredith is an extremely helpful realtor to work with. Having grown up in Montclair, she was knowledgeable about the area, the schools, and all the streets, so we valued her opinions. She knew before we did what kind of home was best for our family. She always had a cool and calm demeanor about her even through the bidding process and reassured us that we would love the home she would find for us. In the end, she found us an amazing house at the budget we were working with during a very competitive market. Meredith was responsive to phone calls and emails, and was present during the inspections, especially since we were first time home buyers. We highly recommend Meredith."

★★★★★
