★★★★★
“Everything went very smoothly and there were no glitches at all. I have bought and sold probably 12 houses in my life, and this was by far the easiest transaction ever.” -Kathy
★★★★★
“As a team they really took the time to get to know us, they were hyper-responsive in communication with us, and provided advice and guidance every step of the way. They helped us find the perfect fit for us and we couldn't speak more highly of them.” -Mary K.
★★★★★
“This was my first home sale and the process can quickly get overwhelming, but both Peter and Matt did a fantastic job breaking down the steps and took extra time with me to review every document, every detail and every option. Their authentic and honest nature gave me the confidence that they were looking out for my best interest at every point in the process. Their ability to get the property list-ready was remarkable, even with new carpet, painting and staging.” -Kurt S.
★★★★★
“They were clear about the process and always left me feeling like they were watching out for my best interest. They took my ideal situation and made it even better. They are great listeners and wonderful agents. Their follow-through is impeccable and their management through escrow was perfect.” -Garrett
★★★★★
“We used Matt and Peter to sell our condo this past spring and they were phenomenal. Our sale was a little complicated because our building is in litigation, but they helped us navigate it really well. We actually interviewed a couple of agents before we started the sales process and they were the only ones who had done their homework and even knew our building was in litigation. They consistently brought that same level of attention and expertise during the entire sales process. I particularly appreciated how transparent and direct they were with us.” -Julie
★★★★★
“We really appreciated Matt and Peter's responsiveness and brutal-honest approach. They listened to our needs and concerns but would not hesitate to mention if something didn't make sense for our situation, which made us feel like they had our best interest and weren't trying to just get any deal through.” -Dan
★★★★★
“Matt and Peter have been excellent partners every step of the way in my home buying process and beyond - as they have continued to offer guidance and coaching well after close. Being a first time buyer and new to Berkeley, they guided the process, answered every question, and moved fast so that I had all the right information at the right time. They never pushed me beyond my comfort level and told me exactly what I needed to do to get my first home in a very competitive market.” -Eric G.
★★★★★
“It was through their masterful professionalism, exceptional knowledge of the area, immediate responsiveness, excellent network of resources and uncanny negotiation skills that everything was so unbelievably easy. While I have the highest regard for their awe-inspiring realtor skills, what truly impresses me most about Matt and Peter is that they are clearly NOT just about buying and selling houses. They are really here to HELP people. Period.” -Tamara
