"Matt was the perfect mistake. I went on Zillow after getting halfway approved for a house I really wanted, but the numbers just weren’t enough. I clicked on a random house in my price range and hit ‘yes’ when it asked if I wanted to see it. I didn’t know how to look for a realtor, so Zillow teamed me up with Matt… and he ended up being a pleasant surprise. From start to finish, Matt was patient, responsive, and honest. He never made me feel rushed or silly for asking questions, and he explained every step in a way I could understand. Buying a home as a working mom with a lot on my plate is stressful enough, but Matt kept things calm, stayed on top of details, and advocated for me the whole way through. What I appreciated most is that he didn’t treat me like a file, he treated me like a person with a real family and a real dream. If you want somebody who won’t tap out on you the second things get complicated, Matt is that guy."
