I first met Matt several years ago. We worked at the same company, on the same floor, but in different departments. We had many mutual colleagues/friends but we'd pass each other without even saying hello. One day we were at a mutual happy hour and struck up a conversation. That's when I first learned Matt was really into renovations, flipping properties, and real estate. We became Facebook friends because well isn't that what kids do? and I always enjoyed seeing his handy work. They are seriously like HGTV level improvements.
Leading up to my wedding, my wife and I knew we would be out growing our condo and wanted to kick the tires on the real estate market. My first thought was contacting Matt. Just from viewing his work on Facebook I knew he was the agent for us. We went over the basics: likes, dislikes, price range, must-haves, and locations and Matt began lining up viewings that met our requirements. Matt has a passion for home improvements and real estate and leverages both of those to provide the best support and advice for his clients. While showing us houses he wasn't pushy or negative with his advice. He'd allow us to walk the house and draw our own conclusions. He'd then ask "what do you think?" and then he would provide his feedback and input; which in many cases was truly pivotal in helping us make informed decisions. He has his clients' best interest at heart and has the knowledge and background to help guide them towards finding their home.
Ultimately my wife and I found a home we love and we put an offer in. Matt negotiated hard on our behalf and sealed us a below asking price offer + seller's assist. Throughout the entire process Matt always made himself available around the clock to walk us through each step and requirement. We are thrilled with our home and it made all the sense in the world to have Matt sell our condo. Matt had a professional photographer come out and take some stunning pictures of the condo that really helped make it pop online. Matt also crafted the perfect write up to describe the condo, and with the stunning photos the scheduled viewings were on fire! We sold the condo quickly (which was important to us), near asking price and well within our comfort range.
Sometimes in life you make an acquaintance/connection and you never know how that person might someday impact your life, but there is something to keeping those connections, business cards, etc. in mind. Matt not only helped us sell a home and buy a home, but he became a family friend, someone I'd refer to anyone, and someone we'll use for any real estate needs. He's our agent for life. read more
