About
Meghan’s Real Estate career began just after graduating from Michigan State University where she earned her degree in Spanish, a minor in Business, and a specialization in Latin American and Caribbean Studies. While her initial intentions were to continue her education at the University of Texas, Meghan was almost immediately recruited into the real estate industry in June of 2002. Spending her first years as an Escrow Officer (Closer) for a local Title Insurance Company, she became intimately acquainted with every detail associated with a real estate transaction.
Having the unique experience as an Escrow Officer closing hundreds of real estate deals over the years, and working with just as many real estate professionals, Meghan saw a need for improvement within the real estate industry. Raised in a military family were doing the right thing and following the golden rule were the guides for every decision made, she knew she was just the person to take on the task of raising the bar. Upon opening The Groove Realty in 2008, Meghan solidified her commitment to moving the real estate industry forward through honesty, professionalism, and integrity. Furthering her goals to raise the bar are each of her agents whom she personally mentors through professional development; This is where she finds her joy and fulfillment

Testimonials
Juan Inyiguez
“Meghan surpassed all of my expectations of what a realtor can be. She is well informed on the current market and what the process will entail. My wife and I had no idea what to look for and what to expect. Meghan was kind and… enthusiastic from the start. She showed us several homes that suited us and gave us practical advice for every one. It was clear that she knew what to look for with the physical structure of the homes and was also informed about the investment potential. We are so grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to buy a home.”
Ella and Rene Morales
“The Groove Realty and Meghan provided a top notch experience for us when we decided to sell our house this summer. She is very professional in her approach to the realty business. And it didn’t hurt that we received more than our asking price. We would not hesitate to hire Meghan in the future.”

“About 4 years ago I had this wild idea that I should purchase a duplex so I could live on one side and rent out the other. Having never purchased a home and having ZERO experience as a landlord, this seemed like a ridiculous idea. Enter: Meghan Matta and the Groove Realty Team. Meghan made the entire experience so clear (easy-to-understand! manageable! approachable! not-at-all-intimidating!)–I cannot recommend her and her team highly enough. In fact, I’ve referred her to many friends and three (that I can recall off the top of my head) have also purchased homes with her help.
Meghan will be the first to tell you that the experience I had was exceptionally unique and challenging. When the timeline with the builders went sideways, Meghan was there advocating for me and making sure me and my lender knew what was going on. And when the time finally came to do a final walk-through, she told me exactly what I should be looking for and, once again, advocated for my needs until all the papers were signed…and then she helped some more. Meghan helped secure tenants for the other side and provided me with so many resources that I needed to be able to feel confident taking on the role of both ‘homeowner’ and ‘landlord.’. She made this really intimidating process–and life change–easy for me.”

“I cannot recommend Meghan Matta highly enough as a real estate professional. She GETS IT DONE! Our situation involved not only one unusual challenge—it was a whole PORTFOLIO of crazy variables. These included: non-conventional seller financing, one out-of-state/one in-state buyer, inspection issues, and impossibly quick deadlines created by major holidays. Meghan took each one of these major hurdles and made them disappear! She negotiated and advised expertly on price, she secured arrangements for multiple inspections and repairs, had the experience to ensure our compliance with LCRA (who borders our property), deftly navigated unusual financing, and managed to get the whole thing over-the-line in time for us to spend a family Christmas with visitors in our new home. Absolutely incredible.
In addition to being a total miracle worker, Meghan is also personally delightful. At every turn she was confident, reassuring, responsive, and 100% reliable. If Meghan says she will do something, you can EXHALE, knowing it is totally HANDLED. I will absolutely use Meghan for any real estate needs in the future, and I will wholeheartedly encourage friends and colleagues to do the same.”

“Meghan was recommended to us by a friend and we have been super happy! She knows how to negotiate like a BOSS and got us favorable terms on our contract to buy. She not only takes care of you while searching and making offers, but even after you close on the property. The Groove realty offers a spacious courtesy trailer for clients to use for moving and she is even working with us to make sure we have our homestead exemption in place at the beginning of the new year. Not to mention she has a person for anything and everything. Taxes, repairs, insurance, etc… I used to work in real estate and I can honestly say I have not met a more knowledgeable real estate agent.”
Marie Kosta
“Meghan was a godsend for us. We had gone the ‘for sale by owner’ route, with not one offer after four weeks on the market and two price drops…..enter Meghan….TWO days on the market and she got us four offers, one $5k over asking price. She was amazing and handled all the ‘dirty work’, knew exactly what we needed to do in order to get the house in tip-top shape and managed the whole process for us. She held our hand throughout the way, from listing to closing day. I would recommend her highly.”
Kari Wright
“Meghan is the epitome of professionalism! She is a joy to work with and understands her clients wants and needs. She truly goes the extra mile to help you understand every aspect of home buying. Meghan is focused on her clients, and keeping their best interest at heart. I have used Meghan and The Groove Realty for two home purchases now and will look to her for help with of my realty needs in the future”
Josh Tefertiller and Rebecca Klenk
“Anyone who is looking for a smart, hard working real-estate professional needs to look no further than The Groove Realty! My fiance and I met Meghan at a rental property we were checking out, which she was the listing agent for. The advice she gave us during that visit turned into a relationship I am so grateful to have found! She worked with us both and our schedules to find us… a house we absolutely love! I highly recommend Meghan to anyone who wants to work with an agent ‘above the pack’. She is honest, enthusiastic, and immensely knowledgeable on every facet of the real estate world. If I wasn’t limited in how much I could write in this review I would say so much more. We were blown away!”
Jason and RaeLyn Chenault
“Meghan Matta represented us with the recent listing and selling of our property. It is impossible to state the level of professionalism she has demonstrated in all of her efforts, from the beginning of our working relationship to present date. Some of the highlights of her skills we greatly appreciate are that she was always available for face-to-face meetings/communicating, her punctual nature, her ability to precisely price our property for our sake and for marketability, and her marketing via her website. The process of selling our house, which we have cherished very much, could not have been made any easier. We intend on using Meghan for any and all of our future real estate transactions, and I would highly recommend her services.””
Hue and Ana Proutt
“Wow, we can’t stop talking about the ‘new home to be’ you helped us find; we’re so excited. We do believe you’re the right person to be put in our life to find us the Dream Home we have been looking for always. I was a little skeptical at first, but you won me over with patience and understanding you showed us. You will be highly recommended by us to others who are looking for that new start in a home. Our friends keep asking us who’s this person we keep bragging about, we simply say our best friend, Meghan the Realtor Guru. :-)”
Emilio and Heather Martinez
“After experiencing really poor performance from two realtors in our past, we were happy to finally have found The Groove Realty. We interviewed four realtors and chose Meghan to sell our house and find us a new house. She is smart, honest, professional, realistic, knew her industry well, a great listener and easy to reach. She took care of everything. She was not overly opinionated to influence us one way or another when picking our home. She used the most up to date tools of the industry to help us buy and sell our home. It was the most smooth process we have ever experienced. We are very happy!”
David and Laurie Stevens
“Meghan was GREAT! She spent tons of time with us and kept an open mind about what we really wanted. She was very knowledgeable about trends in different neighborhoods – an important topic if we want to sell later on. Meghan was also not afraid to point out things about a house or location that might be problematic. All-in-all, she was professional, friendly and smart. She found a great house that we would never have considered looking at on our own. But, she got to know us well enough to see it as an option and it really has worked out beautifully.””
Stacey and Bryan Kolasa
“We were new to Austin and this was our first home buying experience so we had a lot of questions and took up a lot of time. Meghan was very patient with us and answered all of our questions professionally. She helped us to focus our search and not get so overwhelmed as we attempted to see “all of our options” throughout South Austin. When the home buying process became overwhelming or frustrating she was calm and supportive to both my husband and I, working hard to find us the perfect house that fit both of our needs and wants. And that perfect house, we found! Now since moving into our new house, we still call her occasionally with household questions like lawn service, alarm installation, carpet services, etc and she responds quickly and with great recommendations. We were really lucky to have someone so intelligent helping us through this process.”
Terri Pierce
“Meghan was amazing! She was very knowledgeable, professional, courteous and she went above and beyond to find the perfect house for us. You can feel confident knowing that Meghan is working for you. The house she found for us was a great investment! We highly recommend Meghan to join your journey of finding that perfect house!”
Karen Welford and Josh Segars
“Meghan’s greatest strength has to be that she understands people as well as she does the real estate market. Her ability to read our likes and dislikes and adapt to our personal tastes made our home search smooth and enjoyable. Her suggestions for homes to view always had a great combination of value, investment potential and style. When it came time for finances, paperwork and closing Meghan’s patience and professionalism were remarkable. We had a unique and challenging closing and being first time home buyers added to our confusion and stress. But Meghan was always able to ease our minds with clear, rational responses to all of our concerns. She always had a plan of action and kept us well-informed every step of the way.”
Daniel and Meena Rudmann
“We recently purchased our first home and Meghan was amazing through the whole process. We didn’t know where to start and Meghan really took the time to get to know what we were looking for and didn’t let us settle for anything less than that. She also knew it was important for us to understand the home buying process since it was new to us and did a great job explaining things to us and making us aware of things that we would never have even thought of.
She is extremely professional and personable and was a pleasure to work with. We were definitely in good hands!”

“Meghan was so easy to work with…and fun. I know fun is not the point, but she made an extremely nerve wracking and difficult transition in our lives easier. We are so happy with our new house and thankful we were able to sell our old house very quickly with her help.”
Michael Montgomery
“My wife and I sold a house and bought a new one using The Groove. The experience was great all around, and the staff is very knowledgeable of Austin and the surrounding areas.”
Kristen Gunter
“Meghan has been with us through the sale and purchase of 4 homes, and there is a reason we keep going back to her. She is extremely knowledgeable, organized, has patience and most importantly she makes you feel like you are her only client. Meghan is the best there is and we are extremely excited we found her!”
