"Mathew Arruda was purely professional in all stages of the sale of our commercial building. He was very responsive, an excellent communicator, fully competent, and was extremely patient with our many questions. Commercial building sales can be very different from personal home sales and Mathew was extremely patient and walked us through each and every step of the process. Even in the face of a difficult economy, Mathew stayed soundly focused from start to end! His knowledge of local market trends allowed him to get us a great deal while ensuring that both parties felt like they had a fair outcome. I would highly recommend Mathew Arruda as he is trustworthy, reliable, and he met every single requirement we were looking for with the sale of our building" - Jackie L. 11/2023

"Working with Mat and his team was an exceptional experience. We attempted to sell during this crazy market 6 months earlier with another Realtor, where our experience was horrible. From start to finish he made the process easy and achieved beyond our objective. Plus he and his team are fun to work with! Hands down the best. If you are looking and want a great experience, look no further." - 10/2021

"Mat and his team made selling and buying our home easy. We were hesitant if we can even push our plan of selling and moving to another town at this time of pandemic. But Mat made it all possible, he found a perfect home for us in less than 3 weeks and a buyer for our home a week after. We can say that Mat is the best real estate agent we have ever dealt with. Very professional, thorough and was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process. He really cared about our family and attentive to our needs. We are very happy with our new home. So grateful we found him and we highly recommend his team!" - 10/2021

"5 stars! Mat and his team take care of everything and are two steps ahead the whole time! From listing to selling they will assist you with anything and everythingā€™! They make the selling process seamless and smooth!" - 07/2021

"Mathew Arruda is hands down the best real estate agent and broker in the greater South Coast Massachusetts area. He was fantastic when helping my wife and I with the purchase of our first home. Specifically, he educated us about the process and showed us a property that we loved in the first couple weeks of working with him. Honestly, there is nothing that I can say about him other than great things. He negotiated a fantastic price for us and went above and beyond in terms of his service. So far, I have recommended him to all of my friends and family to work with. I look forward to working with him again when we purchase our second property. Thank you very much Mathew, you made our dreams come true!" - 09/2021

"There are not enough words to describe how excellent our experience was with Mat! He is the picture of professionalism, expertise, and knowledge. As this was my boyfriend and I's first home-buying experience, Mat always took the time to answer our many questions with patience and ease. We felt that Mat had our best interest at the forefront of our home-buying process. We could not have asked for a better realtor to guide us through our first experience, and we are so thrilled that he helped us find such a perfect home that suits us so well. We couldn't recommend Mat enough and we know he will be the first person we call for future home-buying endeavors." - 08/2020

"I like to wait and see how I feel before I leave a review. We worked with Mat and have been in our new home for 4 months. I use the word HOME because that is just what Mat helped us find. Every aspect of our time together was amazing from start to finish. Mat served as our agent, friend, project manager, and therapist throughout the entire process of selling a house and finding the home we will raise our daughter in. He was willing to show us houses he knew we wouldnā€™t like just to learn our needs in order to better find our dream home. His brute honesty is a breath of fresh air and his sense of humor makes it easy to get through a very stressful time. There are many real estate agents but not many true real estate professionals like Mat Arruda. His passion for what he does did not go unnoticed by us and I would recommend him to everyone. There is no doubt that he is the best at what he does and if you want to the best experience, you will work with Mat." - 09/2017
