Matt recently helped me find and purchase my current home and surpassed all of my expectations. Not only did he have expert knowledge of each of the Silicon Valley sub-markets in which I was interested, but he also helped me narrow down the neighborhoods in those sub-markets that were uniquely suited for me. While Matt is well-known throughout the Bay Area for representing several high-profile clients, he always made me feel like I was his top priority, and was available to answer questions or meet in person whenever worked best for my schedule. I initially decided to work with Matt because of several stellar recommendations, and he did not disappoint with respect to the service and results that I received. When it came time to negotiate the price of my home, Matt went to battle for me and was able to secure a deal that was well below the listing price. If you value top-tier service an…

Matt rocks. Candidly I have had bad experiences with real estate agents in the past. The system includes a perverse set of incentives, and it takes a rare agent to not only really do the right thing for the client (vs just try to churn out a deal as quickly as possible -- any deal) but to go above and beyond to do the right thing for the client. Matt is that rare agent. It genuinely felt like he was buying the house for a family member instead of for a client. And a few other things: (1) he's tough. He's extremely warm but also a dogged negotiator when it counts. Every real estate agent will tell you this, but few deliver. (2) He will tell you his real opinion vs what you want to hear. This is important when you're in the midst of such an emotional process. (3) He will make an inherently stressful process (and it will be stressful) actually fun. Tons of infectious energy. Where the rub…

Where the rubber meets the road: Matt got us a house in Millbrae, one of the hottest parts of arguably the hottest real estate market in the country, for under asking. Even just paying a 10% premium is rare (20-40% normal). Getting a house for asking is very rare. Under asking? We're thrilled. And Matt also hooked us up with his contractor folks to make the few adjustments here and there that we're interested in making.
