"Matt and Stephanie's knowledge, exemplary communication and friendliness made the process of selling our home simple for us. We were never in doubt as to the work in process, next steps and requirements of us throughout. They went the extra mile to help us navigate signing our paperwork when an unexpected family circumstance arose and absolutely delivered on everything they said they would do. We highly recommend working with Matt and Stephanie!" -Laura & Jacco S

★★★★★
"I have now gone through three housing transactions with Matt and Stephanie (two house purchases; one sale), a track record that should speak for itself. I truly cannot say enough good things about them, and have recommended them to anyone I know interested in real estate. They are smart, professional, experienced, and a delight to work with. Real estate can be EXTREMELY daunting, but they break everything down into manageable steps, which they are always happy to clarify and explain. Most recently -- they sold my house in FOUR DAYS (FOUR!!) for much more than my original asking price. Every real estate transaction involves a generous amount of luck, I'm sure, but Matt and Stephanie have always delivered results far beyond what I would have expected from the market. I value them immensely." -Melissa M

"How do you know you made a great decision about a realtor? When you’d choose the same ones when given another chance. Matt and Stephanie Sanford did an amazing job selling our house in Seattle in 2021 and when life brought us back to Seattle in 2023, they were the only realtors we even considered calling. Even when we were just thinking about coming back to Seattle, Matt and Steph were generous with their time and helped us think through timing, budget, locations, schools and much more. When we decided to make a last-minute trip to Seattle, Matt and Steph hosted us for a multi-day home search where they were super-organized and, more importantly, perfect sounding boards to help us think through our decision. They helped us negotiate a great price with a fast closing and lined up painters, cleaners and carpet folks so our home was move-in ready in just a few weeks. Just like when selling our home, they went above and beyond in every step of the process. Now we’ve seen what this powerhouse couple can do as both listing agents and buying agents and again would unequivocally recommend them to anyone needing either type of service." -Pete & Lisa C.

"Working with with Matt & Stephanie was without a doubt the best real estate experience I've had (of 3 total experiences). What sets them appart from "regular" real estate agents is their construction background, and the depth of experience and knowledge that brings. During visits, they were able to point out details about the structure and the finishes of the house (what to look out for in wood floor types, basement waterproofing, etc...), and patiently answered the flurry of questions I had about the buying process, and potential renovations. Matt & Stephanie also have a vast network of local experts, again from their construction background. They pulled in a house inspector with less than 24h's notice (keeping the offer competitive), shared trusted starting points for basement water-proofing contractors, and Matt did a walkthrough with me and a very experienced electrian after I closed the house. Additionally, I had to switch away from my initial lender, and they referred me to the best, fastest-to-close lender I've worked with, who prioritized my case and kept the purchase on schedule. Overall, I would recommend without hesitation working with Matt & Stephanie. It feels like they know everything about houses themselves and everyone you should talk to in Seattle about houses, and all this on top of extreme competence in property transactions." -Thomas G.
