Your Home, Your Story

Meet Megan Banta

Buying or selling a home often coincides with an exciting and transitional period in one’s life. I take pride in guiding my clients through this journey, and making it as seamless as possible. I strive to make this involved process feel effortless, by managing the details and tackling the stressors before issues arise.

My first priority is to educate my clients on all aspects of the process to ensure they are fully informed and involved every step of the way. Without the burden of stress, I give my clients the opportunity to focus on the options available to them, and ultimately make a well-informed decision which best suits their needs and lifestyle.

As a third generation realtor, I am a product of my raising. I owe my beginning to my mom and business partner, Heather Coleman, who I am fortunate enough to work with and learn from in our Portland-Bend client relationships. We work closely together, and she has greatly shaped the Realtor I am today. My real estate insight and expertise stems from years of exposure and over 9 years of first- hand experience.

Testimonials

What our clients say

"We used Megan to buy our house and once again had a great experience using her to sell our house. She was very involved from pre-listing all the way through closure, making sure everything was staying on track. She was very communicative, had great contacts to help us when we needed to make some repairs, and overall helped our place sell above asking!"

Rob Kairis

“Megan is a fantastic realtor and a delight to work with. She helped us purchase our first home, patiently walking us through the entire process, answering all our questions, and sharing so much knowledge along the way. She‘s detail oriented, responsive, an effective negotiator, and trustworthy. I highly recommend Megan to anyone who’s looking for a realtor!”

Jules Prow

“We worked with Megan to purchase our first home and Megan made the process much less intimidating as we navigated through so many unknowns. Megan was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the correct pricing, school districts, and neighborhoods that would appeal to us to help narrow our choices down. Whatever needs we had, Megan met them! ”

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need to stage my home?

The goal is to make your home as appealing as possible to the most potential buyers before photos of your home are taken. Staging your home can include anything from redecorating to rearranging furniture, cleaning, or other aesthetic strategies to present the home in the best possible light. You can do it yourself, have your real estate agent guide you, or hire a staging company.

Who pays for a home inspection?

In most cases, the buyer pays for the home inspection.

What does selling a home ‘as-is’ mean?

If someone is selling a home that needs repairs but chooses not to fix them, they may list a property as-is. Disclosures and inspections are typical steps in the process. In an as-is sale, a buyer willingly purchases the home in its current state with full knowledge of its condition.

What is disclosure?

When selling a property, it is incumbent upon the seller to disclose any details about the home that might negatively affect its value.

How long will it take to sell my home?

Factors such as the time of year and market conditions play a big role in how quickly a property sells. How you price, market, and stage your home are also very important variables that will affect how long a home remains on the market.

What needs to stay when I sell my home?

Any fixture that is ‘attached’ or built into the house typically remains. For example, if your house has built-in bookshelves, they typically stay with the house. The same is true of kitchen or bathroom fixtures and fireplaces. Exceptions and details can be discussed during the negotiation process.
