“ As a busy professional I rarely make time to write reviews, but had to make an exception for Matt (although admittedly this is much later than I had original intended). In any event, Matt very skillfully assisted me in negotiating a complex closing involving a number of issues, including but not limited to multiple financial institutions and the intricacies of the VA program. I would strongly recommend Matt. I also know Matt to be honest, hardworking and kind.More important I trust him. ”

“ Matt is AMAZING. I bought my first home, with zero knowledge, and he walked me through every step with such patience. I was able to call him at any time and with any question big or small. His experience and knowledge were both extremely prominent through the entire process. And with other family members in the market for a new home he will now be our official family realtor! ”

“ Working with Matt was an absolute pleasure! He was our advocate at every stage of the process seeking to get the best possible deal for us. He also was always available to answer any of our questions about the process of buying a house; and he continues to be always available to us even after the process has ended. He is authentically personable while at the same time remaining impressively professional. Matt is the real deal! I will definitely be telling everyone I know, who is seeking a realtor, to choose Matt. ”

“ As first-time homebuyers in a brand new city, Matt was indispensable throughout the process.He patiently showed us numerous homes, and explained options for remodeling some features, things we could inquire about.Then when THE ONE popped up in the listings on a Friday afternoon, Matt got us a showing and helped us get an offer to the seller in less than a couple of hours. I still remember his excitement the next day when called early in the morning to say the home was ours. ”
Chris Keller
“ Matt has helped me twice now to buy a house and once to sell a house. He is professional, trustworthy and all around a great person to conduct business with. He always comes through with any and all agreements and his knowledge of real estate and market conditions is exceptional. This is why I've chosen him twice to assist me with my home sale and purchases. Highly recommend! ”

“ Matt went above and beyond in terms of service. He poured a tremendous amount of time and effort into purchasing a dream house. He made sure to help narrow down the right property and spent 5 months getting it under contract. He even put in an offer on Christmas day. He helped negotiate a great deal on the price and negotiated several repairs with the sellers as well that were necessary to close. He was well connected in terms of contractors to help handle several repairs and updates. He took a consultative approach until the very end, to the point where it was clear that he was 100% focused on my needs first and foremost. He was able to provide solid advice in several different areas when it came to buying the new house and in general advice on real estate. I've known Matt for fifteen years, and have worked in the industry myself for several years prior while having purchased several homes myself. As a result, I am very selective when it comes to who I choose to represent me. Very glad that I decided to work with him. ”

“ We loved working with this gentleman; However we worked with him only about a month because we bought the first home he showed us. He was very thorough, patient and on time in giving all needed information and even responding to our unrelated questioned (out of his work field); he did not mind finding and giving all those info. He suprised us many times with giving us free services which seller did not provide us (carpet cleaning, etc), “Closing day”cake and even follow up after few weeks of moving. He helped us as much he could. We cannot say enough about his personality and great work.Thank you Matt. ”

“ Matt is a very responsive agent. He’s always a phone call or text away. He knows his craft and executes it very well. We had a tall order but he was able to make it all happen in a timely manner. He sold our home in 48 hours and got our offer on another house accepted within 24 hours after that. Now our family is on our forever home.. thank you Matt!!! ”

“ Destiny was mindful of the fact that I was a first time buyer. She helped me look for and close the property that I really liked. Processing was smooth and was very responsive. She has also helped me negotiate the final deal that I am happy with. I was very particular about the inspections and she made sure it was done thoroughly. She has been patient and is willing to stick around through all the ups and down of the process. ”
