The idea of buying a place of my own was so intimidating to me.. I had no idea where to start or who to use or what to look for and wanted to make sure I understood it all before making such a big decision. I actually tried a different realtor first but felt she wasn't taking me seriously enough to show me around. I came across Matt after 2 of my friends recommended him.
I don't trust people often, especially if I feel like they're salesmen. But I gotta say, Matt was not like that. He is a solid, "good people," everyday kind of guy doing great work. He made it seem like we were his only client! He was quick to respond, patient in explaining things, and more than willing to show houses to us. I sincerely appreciated his honest input in the places I looked at too, because unlike my fiancé I had no idea what to look for. He wasn't trying to sell us things above what we could afford, or downplaying negatives to get us to make a decision, or anything. We NEVER felt pressured.
He also got us connected with Chenine to handle the numbers. Lemme just say.. I am horrible with math and numbers. But she full on made a video presentation for me to explain things! And then she worked out all the numbers for the 20 or so different scenarios we asked lol.
My husband and I were blessed to get a great home in a lovely neighborhood.. if I remember correctly, there were some 12 other ppl competing for the same place. Our offer was lower and less appealing with a VA loan, but Matt worked his magic!!!!
Good realtors are hard to find. We literally became friends through this. Pretty soon we'll need to upgrade with a new addition to the family, and when we do we are sticking with this team!! read more
