Client Reviews
“MJ helped us find a home in Hudson coming from Brooklyn and offered a huge depth of knowledge about everything from the home buying process to how to maintain a home out in the country, with recommendations for service providers and a keen attention to details that we absolutely would have otherwise missed while we were looking at houses. She was super friendly, thoughtful, and a really valuable resource for us—would highly recommend if you're thinking of buying upstate!”
-Jackie + Mark, Hudson
MJ was the best real estate agent we could have hoped for. She found our dream home and helped us close on it in record time. MJ was incredibly transparent, proactive and knowledgeable. We had a true partner throughout the entire home buying process – she took the time to help us understand what we even wanted/valued in our home and taught us what to look out for when purchasing home. We cannot recommend her enough!
-Kat & Jojo, Hunter
“Working with MJ was a flawless experience from first meeting till closure. Highly motivated, proactive, transparent, trustworthy and results driven. Removed the worry and stress from a challenging long term renovation with a result which exceeded expectations.”
-Tom & Mark, Kingston
“We’ve had a fair amount of experience with realtors in a couple different states, and MJ is top tier in the field. She is both an outstanding human and an extremely effective and smart professional. She is at your side (patiently spent a lot of time with us!!), and on your side (a super client advocate!) every step of the way. Now that I’m upstate, I also see that she’s a great place-maker and an important community member here. Highly recommend working with MJ”
—Liz & Pete, Red Hook
“MJ is an amazing realtor. We had a great experience selling our home with MJ. Honestly, can’t say enough how much we appreciated her help, attention and the hard work she put into helping us sell our home. Recommend 100%+.”
—Elizabeth, Marbletown
“I cannot say enough good things about working with MJ. She is incredibly smart, incisive, and thoughtful in her approach. We’ve now bought a house, sold that house, and purchased another house with her over the past several years and there is no one else I would call! You truly could not be in better hands with her.”
—Ellie, Tivoli
“Thanks again for everything—such a smooth process, and we can’t wait to make it our own. You’ve been so helpful through everything, we so appreciate all your guidance!!”
— Corey, Clinton Corners
“Closing was super smooth. thanks for everything, MJ, you’ve made this process super easy, informative, and fun.”
— Evan + Dunia, Saugerties
“Truly can’t thank you enough for making the process so seamless and working within our restrictions both being out of state AND being new parents during our visit. You have been such a joy to work with AND we have some family back home now looking to buy upstate too so we will be sending them your way!”
— Zin, Millbrook
“Thank you so much for your patience, guidance and adaptability; we couldn't have made it through [our home sale] without you. Bless you.”
— Zac, Canaan
Hello.
Megan Jo “MJ” Collum, LICENSED SALESPERSON AND Lead Agent
I’ve been in the real estate business for nearly two decades, during which I’ve been a buyer, seller, landlord, renovator, short-term rental host—and since 2017, a licensed sales agent.
Prior to getting my real estate license and moving upstate, I worked for private equity developers and commercial real estate brokers in NYC. That previous experience, coupled with my marketing and communications EXPERTISE, make me a valuable advisor in any real estate transaction. I crunch the numbers to give my clients data-driven advice, AND HELP THEM tailor winning strategies in an ever-changing market.
Based in Kingston NY, I am ideally positioned to assist buyers and sellers from New Paltz to Woodstock, and Rhinebeck to Chatham. I earned a Top Producer recognition from my primary MLS (Hudson Valley-Catskills Region) in 2020—and have consistently sold more than $10M annually since.
I work with clients of all budgets and home types, and enjoy helping people achieve their real estate goals. But best of all, my clients know they can reach out to me for advice anytime, even long after the closing is done.
A comprehensive list of My Past Sales can be found here, and recent sales include: CENTENNIAL HOUSE (CLINTON), ONYX AFRAME (CAIRO), AND Storybook Cottage (Tivoli).
