"We were planning a move from Chicago to Raleigh without knowing anything about the area and through a series of serendipitous connections we met Matt who expertly guided us from start to finish. We were impressed that he genuinely wanted to understand exactly what we were looking for not just the bricks and mortar aspect but also the particular lifestyle that was important to us. We (somewhat sheepishly) read him our wish list for our dream home which included a pool woods a guest cottage a garden acres of land but close to restaurants a long windy drive. Even we had doubts that we could find all that in one property but Matt never once told us to lower our expectations. He went above and beyond by visiting some of the properties ahead of our trip to help us narrow the search. We always felt that he was as excited as we were to find the perfect place. He is personable and kind and extremely competent and I recommend him wholeheartedly. We did find our dream house the very first house we saw and it was a pleasure to have Matt by our side!" -Christine L.

"Our daughter and son-in-law were very pleased with Matt Martin's work helping them find a home in Raleigh and negotiating for them. So when we decided to also move to Raleigh we chose to work with Matt. He listened well to what we were looking for and to our top priorities. Matt showed us several homes (14!) on our visit and we ended up choosing to buy the last one we saw. Because we still live in the Chicago area Matt stepped in over and beyond our expectations to help us with a house inspection with a punch list with a virtual close and with recommendations for anything else we've needed. Matt is relationally intelligent highly professional and easy to work with. We can't recommend him enough." -Nancy & Warren B.

"We can't thank Matt enough for helping us select our home in Raleigh! We started navigating the home buying process from New Mexico and knew little about the Raleigh area. Matt took time to help educate us on the different areas and tour us around to see houses in all across the greater Raleigh area. Matt had built our trust enough that we ended up purchasing a house sight unseen after a weekend full of house scouting and a failed offer due to a bidding war. He was reassuring in the process kept us informed every step of the way and listened to what was important to us allowing us to find our perfect Raleigh home. If you're looking to sell or buy call Matt! You won't be disappointed." -Emily W.

"II honestly don't know where to start. I have so many good things to say so I will just start from the beginning. My wife and I were in a position where we had to move across the country in relatively short order for my wife's job. We came in with three days to look at houses. This in today's market is a challenging position to be in especially given that we had no idea about neighborhoods or areas which would be a good fit for us. After some preliminary conversations (phone calls and video calls) with Matt we knew we had found our realtor. His outgoing and bubbly disposition caught our attention and endeared him to us almost immediately. He then followed up with exquisite attention to detail and meticulous follow-through. My wife is the definition of a type-a high achiever with zero tolerance for disorganization or dropped balls. Matt was able to work with her to help narrow down our need list and wish list so that he could show us houses that would be in our desired price range and up to our standards. A week or so before our trip out we were surprised with a "Welcome to Raleigh" packet with information on the city. (Things to do places to go and places to eat) which was a welcome surprise for both my wife and I having come from New Mexico also known as the land of Manya we were not used to or expecting such a detailed and wonderful packet. This packet was extremely helpful to us and helped us find an air-b-n-b in a fun part of town surrounded by great food and a cool place to walk and explore the city between our house-hunting forays. Matt's decision to do this really elevated our stay and helped us start to fall in love with our new State. Once we arrived things started quickly Matt drove us all over God's creation from Raleigh to Wake Forest to Cary to Farquay and Bahama and just about everywhere in between. The Road trips were long but fun and our conversation in the car was lively and entertaining! This really helped pass the time and ease some of the tension that my wife and I were having as we were still rather stressed about the concept of spending so much money but Matt's upbeat attitude and sharp wit made the whole experience exciting and it felt like an adventure to which he was our guide. As Matt predicted we found a house on that first 3-day excursion that we fell in love with. I can't remember if it was the first or second day but we promptly made an offer on the house with Matts's advice. The offer was strong! Unfortunately we lost the house in a bidding war... This was out of our and Matt's control but we had gotten the offer monkey off our shoulders which felt good. The loss of that house stung a bit but we knew with peak season coming up more houses would be hitting the market. It was not fun to leave without a house but before we landed back in Santa Fe Matt had already sent one or two new homes for my wife to look at through the realtor portal. This is just one of the many examples that shows just how diligent and determined Matt was to find us the right house. At the time we didn't realize it but all of the time we spent with Matt during those three days was an absolute blessing. He was able to develop almost a 6th sense for what we liked and didn't like in houses and full disclosure we are on the picky/ocd side of the spectrum. After a few more weeks of searching Matt got wind of a house that was coming onto the market that he thought might be a good fit for us. I don't know how he did it but he got us excited about the house while it was still off-market and was then one of the first people to schedule a tour the first day it was listed. We were still in Santa Fe and had to do a video walk-through. With Matt knowing what we were looking for we felt fully comfortable taking his word on the house's condition and going off the face time video. With Matt's stamp of approval on the house we devised a game plan to make an offer while we were still on the face time video with him. Our first offer was strong and fair but several other offers were received that day. After some discussion and the memory of losing that last house is still very fresh in our memory we opted to up our offer and try to lock in this house that my wife and both loved still sight unseen. After a few tense days of waiting to hear back Matt called us with the news that we had Won! Our closing was set for a month or so out giving us time to make travel arrangements. The day before we closed I arrived after a 26 hr drive from New Mexico and decided to drive past the house before going to the hotel. When I first laid eyes on it I was overcome with so many emotions. My eyes filled with tears and my heart with joy because the house was perfect and soon to be ours. After meeting up with Matt and my Wife the following day which happened to be my wife's Birthday we headed over to the house for our final walk-through. This would be my wife's first time seeing the outside of the house and both our first time in the house. Talk about a birthday present to remember! We were again overcome with joy and excitement everything was to our liking and it felt like our house. Matt had hit it out of the park. His ability to take our feedback and find this house in such a competitive market is impressive and shows how much talent and dedication he has put into his craft. I can't recommend Matt enough to anyone looking for a new house but especially if you are relocating out of state Matt is the person you need to work with. My wife and I feel so blessed to have him as our realtor and we consider ourselves lucky to now have him as one of our friends. Whoever is still reading my review at this point rest easy and go with Matt... You will not regret it." -Nick R.

★★★★★
"As first time homebuyers we were looking for an agent with thorough knowledge of the market and negotiation skills to help us get the best deal possible.

"Matt was AMAZING to work with when purchasing our first home. When looking for our home we were living out of state and using relocation benefits to move. Matt was well informed about the details of relocation packages and ensured we wait until the benefits allowed us to work together (which we were so appreciative of because we later found out that if we had signed earlier we would have lost the benefit). We then were able to tour houses on weekends and chat any time about places we were interested in. Being a first time home buyer we had lots of questions. Whether it was finding a pool inspector HOA guidelines or historic district rules Matt answered all our questions and worked through every request we threw at him. Once we put an offer on a house there were some bumps in the road from the sellers side. Matt determined some key information about the house which eventually led us to terminate the deal. Without the information Matt surfaced we would have been in a very bad situation once having purchased the home. We were then back on the search and Matt was just as helpful as ever (even though we had spent a lot of time with him and our budget was not very high). Since we were past our established closing date my partner and I had no housing in the Raleigh area and could no longer do in person tours. Thankfully Matt did video call tours which surprisingly felt just as good as a normal tour. We found our current home this way and the details Matt pointed out in the video tour ensured there were no surprises when we saw our home for the first time in person. In the end everything worked out and we couldn't be happier with the experience we had with Matt as our realtor!" -Zahra G.

"Matt went above and beyond to help us find the perfect home! Even though we were first-time homebuyers working with a tight schedule Matt made sure we saw as many listings as possible and kept us informed and educated throughout the process. We were also especially lucky to have him on our side when some complicated circumstances arose. I can't imagine a more professional responsive and caring realtor." -Tim M.

His data-driven approach and determined mindset were bar none — we simply wouldn't have gotten our new home without his experience and expertise especially in this market.

★★★★★
"Matt took the time to really listen to what I was looking for and lined up a lot of great properties that fit my criteria. We had multiple showings lined up spread out over a very convenient and manageable multi-day schedule. But I knew I'd found the place I wanted after the second showing! Matt then worked extremely hard to guide my application through the process even taking time to help convince my partner why the apartment we chose was such a good fit. Now my partner and I couldn't be happier. I never would have found this place without Matt's insight connections and hard work." -Matt Mc.
★★★★★
"I had a wonderful experience working with Matt when selling my apartment. Thanks to his great work we were able to secure an offer at an amount significantly above the listing price (also at the record selling price in my building!) right after the first open house Matt had organized. He was not only very knowledgeable personable and endlessly patient but also incredibly generous with his time in explaining the entire process to me. As a first-time home seller I was tremendously grateful for his guidance. During that time I had to deal with some health problems and Matt handled any bumps in the road we encountered before the closing making this process anxiety-free for me. Matt is just a very sincere person who would go miles to make things happen for his clients. I can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you Matt!" -Grace P.

"I worked with the amazing Matt Martin to help guide me through being a first-time owner after being a lifelong renter. Matt found me the perfect apartment in the neighborhood I wanted to be in at the right price very early on in my search. The just-listed apartment came up while I was out of town and not wanting me to miss out on it [he] arranged for a video call to visually walk me through the space. His instincts were right—It was just what I was looking for. After the first open house there were other offers on the apartment but Matt's outstanding negotiating skills got the job done! The closing proved more of a challenge due to delays on the seller side but throughout the process Matt was always there handling any issues that arose. He worked hard to make sure things stayed on track staying in constant communication with me and was so helpful with the intricacies of the closing which can easily be overwhelming. I'm very grateful for all his efforts and I would recommend Matt to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home. He is a true professional and a genuinely nice person who you can put your trust in." -Heather M.
★★★★★
"Matt helped me tremendously in finding an apartment that I actually wanted in an area that was right for me. Oftentimes brokers (also my relocation destination service) just try to get the deal done without taking proper care of their client. Matt asked many questions and had great advice and tips of what would suit me and my needs. Even when I had already moved in and still had a couple of questions he made sure these were addressed in a timely fashion. I can 100% recommend and would definitely work with him again." -Martin S.
★★★★★

★★★★★
"Matt was great in helping my cousin and me find an affordable apartment for rent. He put our minds at ease and helped minimize the stress of apartment hunting in the city. He was very cognizant of our needs and what we were looking for including being knowledgeable of the market and explaining to us the process of renting in the city. We appreciate how patient he was when working with us and answering all our questions. He is an efficient communicator and responds quickly. He was super friendly and it was a pleasure meeting him in person when he showed us apartments in the city. Overall Matt was awesome!" - Melanie B.
★★★★★
"Matt is excellent! As a first-time buyer navigating the market he walked me through the unknowns talked me down to reality when needed and empathized with my needs. He is thoughtful diligent and easy to get along with. I truly enjoyed working with him and almost sad I found a place and don't get to spend more time with him! Strongly recommend." - Kelly D.
★★★★★
"I had a great experience with Matt. He adapted easily to my style of house hunting: set firm priorities as to what I want develop a list march through a lot of places to see whether what looks good on paper matches reality re-rack and repeat. When I found exactly what I wanted Matt went out of his way to do all the leg work to get my offer in; help me find a banker when my first choice couldn't put together a deal that would get me into the apartment; and then corral coax cajole the veritable army of people involved in the sale across the finish line. His great sense of humor and calm in the face of an excessively difficult seller made a huge difference in what could have spiraled into a stressful mess. Couldn't be happier in my new apartment." - Michael H.
