We had an excellent experience working with Matt. From the beginning, he was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable about the local market. He guided us through every step of the process, always making himself available to answer our questions and address any concerns.We were fortunate to have him as our real estate agent for our first-time homebuyer experience. Just as he was recommended to us, we highly recommend him as well.

We would not have found our house if it weren't for Matt. He was able to find us an off market home and get it for not a penny over asking. The home has already appraised for higher than we paid, and everything about the process was very smooth. Matt splits time between Austin and the twin cities so he was kind enough to make trips up here to show us homes throughout the process. Would definitely recommend.

If you are looking for a knowledgeable real estate agent in the Austin Minnesota area, I encourage you to call Matt Bartholomew. Coming from out of state, we picked Matt randomly and we are so grateful we did! He is a busy guy but he makes you feel as though you are his only client. Not knowing anyone in Austin, I fear we have leaned on Matt a little too hard. But, of course, he has been gracious, kind and has gone above and beyond what one would expect from an agent. He made the home buying process so easy and his skills helped us secure a home with multiple offers. We couldn't have been happier with Matt's exceptional service!

We had a great experience working with Matt Bartholomew as our real estate agent He helped us sell my mother's home of 60+ years. While the process seemed daunting, Matt took time to give us options, think and then walk us through the steps. He was very responsive to our needs, he made the process easier and we are so grateful for all his hard work. It was a pleasure working with Matt and we highly recommend him.

Matt is simply the best!! As a first time homebuyer, he helped me navigate each step of the process with confidence. He went above and beyond to help me close and find a house that was just what I was looking for in the top area I was searching. From start to finish, I felt like Matt was in my corner and empowered me through tricky market conditions. He has great knowledge of home renovation and things to look for when searching for a house. He is trustworthy, kind, and truly the person you want when it comes to buying or selling a house. I highly, highly recommend him.

I came to Matt knowing nothing about buying houses. He made the whole process super easy from start to finish and now I'm a homeowner! I was nervous to start reaching out at first but Matt was super easygoing and pleasant to talk with, it felt more like having a friend help me along rather then a realtor. 10/10

Matt truly went above and beyond to get me and my husband into our first home. He worked around our schedules and got us some late evening showings of homes until we found the PERFECT one. He also made us aware of grants that were available to us that we had no idea existed. If it weren't for Matt's hard work and dedication to my husband and I, we would not be homeowners right now. I can't recommend him enough!

Matt was a great help. We were moving across the country and he not only found us a house that met our exact criteria, he also guided us through the house buying and negotiating process from afar.

My partner and I were referred to Matt through a friend and had a great experience with him. We saw many houses together before landing on our home, and he was very help[ful throughout. He was knowledgeable about the places and neighborhoods we saw and pointed out important things he saw about the condition of the houses we toured that we would not have noticed. He put together a winning offer (and counter offers) for us, patiently explaining them along the way. We would recommend Matt to anyone we know looking for a new home in the area.

Matt went to the ends of the earth in order to secure the keys for our first home. His drive, positivity, and dedication make the home buying process enjoyable. Matt has a vast knowledge of the housing market and put us in a position to be competitive with each offer we submitted while also keeping in mind our priorities and what we were comfortable with. We are very grateful to have worked with Matt and would highly recommend him to anyone out there searching for an amazing realtor!

It doesn't matter if it is a buyers' market or sellers' market: Matt will make it a YOU market. He is so much more than just an agent! He is a true advocate for his clients, and gives you the information you need to be an informed consumer whether shopping, investing, buying, and/or selling a home.

I had the privilege of being a total consumer with Matt as our guide, and he was with us every step of the way. When we first started looking at our options, Matt was right there with us from day one and worked with us at the pace that was best for us. He gave us the tools to explore the market and make informed decisions. He negotiated every transaction to be in our favor. Matt made everything SO easy even in a wild housing market.

We LOVE our home! Matt's service is second to none. I wouldn't work with any other person or Real Estate team in the Twin Cities or beyond.

Matt is an incredible realtor! As a first time home buyer, I truly had no idea what to expect in purchasing a home. Matt was excellent at explaining every step of the process so it didn’t feel overwhelming and actually made sense to me!

He is also incredibly flexible and diligent. I often work weird hours being a bedside nurse, and Matt always made time for me that fit to my work schedule.

Matt also has a fantastic team that works alongside him. I can’t thank the lender enough for taking the time with long phone calls and dealing with my repeat questions.

Not only did Matt help me find the exact home I wanted, he also helped me negotiate the best deal for the home and the sellers even paid for my repair requests and part of the closing costs!

I cannot recommend Matt enough. He is knowledgeable and loyal and will be committed to helping you find the best home.

I so appreciate everything Matt! Thank you for helping make this all possible!

Not only did he take us on several in-person tours, he traveled to show us homes virtually as well. We couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable, patient, and generous person to work with. He helped us find our new home and always kept our best interests at heart. We highly recommend him!

Matt helped us find a solid home all while keeping my anxiety low, and walking us through the home buying process. He drove to meet us is several different towns, and set up a good amount of showings. He was definitely a great fit for us, and took our wants and needs in a home in consideration. Without Matt, who knows where we would have ended up. Super great guy that works hard, and clearly loves what he does.

We cannot say enough good about our experience with Matt. We planned a move from out of state, readied our home, put it on the market then were offered an opportunity to stay in Montana. Matt answered every question promptly, gave us a good perspective on neighborhoods because he has that local knowledge, was funny, honest and even reviewed our local listing when our house went on market. He didn't have a sure thing to gain but helped us with a genuine heart. Our experience with Minnesota folks was nothing short of amazing. We found Matt to be more helpful than our local realtors. I wish we could have been neighbors! Thanks Matt, you're the BEST.

Matt is an outstanding realtor! Moving across multiple states back to Minnesota was stressful enough, but Matt made our home buying experience a breeze! He's a fun guy to be around so touring houses was easy going! Once we found a home we loved we made an offer that beat out 14 other offers in this highly competitive market! Don't let the competitive market hold you back, Matt will be there to guide you into your new home!

We had a fantastic experience with Matt. We were first-time homebuyers searching for a multi-family home, and Matt was extremely helpful in not only showing us properties, but teaching us about real estate investing and land-lording. He was always willing to take time on weekends/evenings to show properties or take our calls when we had questions about the process. We first began looking at properties with Matt in February, and continued to look through the end of April when we finally got an offer accepted. All throughout that process, we always felt like a priority to Matt. When we got the offer accepted, Matt continued to educate us on the closing process and provided several resources for us for additional questions we had. Lastly, the property we ended up getting appraised $9k over our purchase price, so we were extremely excited about that! The whole process from our first search, to visiting potential properties, to the closing process was fantastic, and I could not recommend Matt enough!

Matt was amazing! We were new to homebuying so we weren't sure what to expect. Working with Matt made that experience great. On top of being just an overall friendly and amazing guy, he took the time to ensure we understood what we were doing and the paperwork we were submitting. He was prompt at submitting our offer to the seller and helped push for quick answers. He did such a great job that we were able to close on our first offer! After receiving our appraisal, he went beyond expectations as he was able to negotiate our final closing price down to that appraisal price. Just overall made the whole experience so easy and stress free. If anyone is in the process of buying or selling a house, there is no better option that Matt.

We just bought our first house with Matt as our realtor and he made the process seem like a breeze! He was extremely knowledge, not only about the real estate market but also about potential red flags such as old utility systems and home conditions (roof showing age etc) that as first time home buyers we would have not picked up on. Matt was prompt in communication and was always available to answer any questions we had. We started looking on April 1st, 2022 and closed on our new home on May 6th. With Matt's assistance we were able to get our dream home for 15k under asking price with inspection and appraisal contingencies (which we thought would be impossible in the current market!). I highly recommend Matt if you are looking to purchase a home!

We had a great experience with Matt buying our first home. Matt was extremely knowledgeable about all steps of the process and worked around our varying schedules. He helped line us up with a first time home buyers grant. He negotiated a great deal for us and our house ultimately ended up appraising for 7k more than we paid. I thought he did a great job throughout the entire process and was very quick to respond to any questions. If we sell our house and plan to buy another house, we will hire Matt!

He was incredibly knowledgeable, went out of his way to negotiate with the seller, was insanely patient with us, and also didn’t make us feel like idiots buying our first home. There was even a point where we felt fatigued in our search and we were about to settle and Matt said honestly to us “you guys deserve a better house.” We moved into a better house and couldn’t be happier. Thanks Matt! Highly recommend.

My wife and I recently partnered with Matt to sell our home and purchase a new one. All in all, he was absolutely incredible to work with and I would (and will) recommend him to anyone I know! Based on the first conversation we had, we knew we wanted to work with him. His low-pressure approach was immediately disarming and we never felt like “just another client” when speaking with him.

Selling our home was flawless – he first listened to what our goals were, then offered his opinion in a collaborative way. He quickly brought his media team out and put together beautiful marketing materials (photos and videos). The production value was terrific and most certainly showcased our home in the best way possible way. We quickly sold!

In this market, it didn’t take long to realize that buying a house can be intimidating and for this reason we were grateful to have Matt in our corner. He has a strong foundational knowledge of houses and knows exactly what to look for – but most importantly – what to avoid. This keen eye was a tremendous asset and made us feel comfortable while navigating through potential homes. Matt took a detailed and educational approach while writing offers to ensure nothing was missed, allowing us to put together the most competitive offers we could. It didn’t take long and we eventually closed on our next home!

Matt has been a huge help during our home searching process. Matt’s interpersonal skills and knowledge of red flags to look for greatly reduced our anxiety throughout.

10/10. I would leave 6 stars if I could. Matt is everything you want in a realtor- friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I often had to remind myself when I was communicating with Matt during the home searching process that he was our realtor that we had just met, not a friend we had known for 6 years. Although now, we are happy to call him our friend.

He helped us find a great home and eased any and all worries that I (or my dad) had. If you are looking for an amazing realtor, congratulations- you found one.

Matt is an experienced and knowledgeable agent, and I am beyond thrilled that he was at our side during our home shopping journey! As a first-time homebuyer, I had a million questions about the homes we looked at and the general process after our offer was accepted, and Matt always promptly replied with clear answers. Buying a house is a big decision that can be daunting at times, but having Matt as our agent made a world of difference. We ended up buying a beautiful home in excellent condition that appraised well over asking price!

If you're house shopping during the pandemic, then you already know how crazy the baseline experience is. Matt couldn't have been a better choice to navigate through the storm that was buying a house in 2021. Despite our huge 100 mile shopping range, and dwellings ranging from dilapidated old acreages, to downtown adjacent fixer uppers, Matt was there with his wealth of knowledge in all things real estate, and wasn't afraid to really check things out with us, flashlight in hand. There wasn't a moment we felt like he wouldn't know the answer to our 1,000 questions. When the dust settled we ended up sitting on $15,000 in instant equity due to the house appraising for more than we paid, not to mention the sweet grants he got us hooked up with! A++ Can't go wrong with this guy!

My boyfriend and I were beyond fortunate to have Matt as our realtor. Right off the bat, we felt comfortable and instantly knew that Matt was going to be a great mentor and support for us while we searched for our first home. After looking at the first few houses, Matt was able to tell what homes we would or wouldn't like, before we even knew if we liked the house or not. He has so much knowledge and attention to detail, and he makes the process enjoyable! Not only is he an awesome realtor, but he connects you with other amazing people and resources who also play huge roles throughout the home buying process. We miss house hunting with Matt but will always be beyond grateful for everything he did for us in landing our first home!

Matt helped our family buy our first home in Minneapolis. The entire experience working with Matt- from the initial meeting, looking at houses, putting in offers, and finalizing the sale- was extremely positive. Matt is open and honest, which was super helpful as he was explaining how the home buying process works and the realities of the market. He was always available for phone calls and emails. His schedule allowed him to show us multiple listings in a day and he helped us easily coordinate them. We put in 2 offers, both of which resulted in Matt working quickly and talking us through the process. It felt so easy that I kept wondering why everyone says home buying is stressful! Matt’s sense of humor, kindness, and professionalism also made our home buying experience a great one. I knew we could count on him for his knowledge of the market and he was honest about our options. After we closed on our house, we legitimately felt a little sad about not seeing and working with Matt! For all of these reasons, I would highly, highly recommend Matt Bartholomew as a realtor.

Matt is amazing! Seriously though, as a first time homebuyer I felt so fortunate to have Matt as my guide through this crazy process. Just when I thought it’d be 2023 before I’d find the right house…BAM! Matt finds an off market gem that gets appraised above purchase price! In this market!?! Whaaat?
Seriously though, he listens to what you’re looking for and makes sure you find the house that’s truly “the RIGHT one”. I asked probably every question someone could ask when buying a house….Matt always made me feel heard, respected, AND knew the answers every time. If you’re looking for someone who is flexible to your schedule, doesn’t pressure you, and truly enjoys his job, go with Matt.

After finding out that our rental was being sold, my wife and I had ten days before she left the state for three weeks. We reached out to Matt to see if it was even remotely possible to find a house in ten days. Without hesitation he said it was possible and got us into 20 properties over four different days. With his guidance we were able to find a home that we are very happy with in an extremely short timeline and felt that we made a very informed decision. On top of that, he secured seller’s concessions on closing costs and got them to agree to a home inspection in a market where neither of those two things seemed possible. Matt was a pleasure to work with and will recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Matt is amazing! I highly recommend him if you’re looking for a new home. He helped us find a beautiful home, in Austin, MN. Austin was new city for my husband and I. Matt took the time to show us around town. He asked us questions and really got to know us and our needs for our home. He was always quick to respond to questions regardless of the day/time.

Matt also provided great advice throughout the buying process and valuable recommendations for contractors, inspectors, and other home services. He really is a one stop shop resource. We can’t thank him enough for his help with the buying process but also him recommendations on service providers.

Matt not only helped us through the buying process. He’s even checked in with us weeks after our purchase to make sure we are still loving our new home. You can tell he really cares about his clients and helping them find a home they will love. I can’t recommend him enough if you are looking to buy or sell a home. He took a lot of stress out of the home buying process.

I was new to home buying and have heard horror stories from friends and family about terrible agents. Matt was professional and personal!

Matt was such a blessing during what could’ve been an immensely stressful time. He went above and beyond what we were expecting, and got our home sold so quickly. He utilized tools that other realtors in our area didn’t, such as hiring a professional photographer. He was also honest with us about what updates would help us sell, and which ones weren’t worth it.

I would definitely recommend him to anyone interested in making the home-selling process as stress-free as possible.

Matt was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was professional, very responsive, and down-to-earth. But most importantly, he had my interests in mind. Unlike all other real estate agents I've worked with, Matt understood the type of home I was looking for, and only alerted me when homes he thought fit what I was looking for hit the market. He never tried to push a home on me, and gave me his honest opinion on the condition and value of every home we looked at. Matt stayed dedicated to helping me find the perfect home over months of looking. Because of his relentless work, he was able to find me a sweet off-market house that was perfect for me, and, furthermore, he helped me negotiate a great deal. The house appraised at 32k over what I paid for it! I would not work with anyone else!!

To anyone looking for a first-rate Realtor, look no further than my friend, The People's Champion of Real Estate: Matt Bartholomew. When my wife and I started looking for a house we didn't know where to start and so I just reached out to Matt knowing he had some experience. I now think it might have been the one of the best decisions I've ever made. From the very get-go, he was responsive, courteous, and knowledgeable. We expected to be overwhelmed by the process but Matt made things simple and easy to understand. In addition, he helped us to secure financing and found us a bunch of free money that made buying a home (a home we actually wanted, not just one we could afford) a possibility. He walked us through every step of the process, from helping us make a competitive offer, to advice regarding the inspection, to the socially-distanced closing, he always made sure we knew what was coming next and ensured we were prepared. He even made buying a house during a pandemic feel safe and easy. Simply put, it was an excellent experience and I would recommend you do yourself a HUGE favor and let Matt help you out. I promise you won't regret it!

He worked with us through the ups and downs of the home-buying process - always making himself available when we needed him. He actually listens, he actually follows up, and actually cares about YOU as a client. For us, this meant we sold our home above our asking price in just a couple days. And then we found our absolute dream home. We’ve been here a little over a month, and it has absolutely changed our lives. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you Matt!!!

Matt was great to work with. He answered our questions in a timely manner. He made time when we wanted to check a place out. He was patient with our requests to keep looking. Matt is very friendly and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him.

Matt was excellent! Very knowledgeable and helped us navigate the process as first time home buyers (it can be intimidating if you don't know what you're doing!). Would totally recommend Matt to a friend/colleague.

Matt is simply a PRO! He was great to work with and made the home buying experience easy. I had plenty of questions for him and he always had an answer or got me in touch with the experts. We looked at a lot of properties and Matt was always helpful when walking through houses. Will recommend to everyone!

My home sold very quickly . It was due to the attention placed on advertising with not only traditional means but with the addition of social media. Matt was very quick to respond to my questions and any concerns I might have. Very pleased with the process and the price that was achieved.

Purchasing a home 2 hours away was an almost seamless process. We negotiated the purchase 11,000 below listed price! I love my home and it’s location so it’s obvious Matt was listening to me.

Matt was an amazing realtor from start to finish. Not only did we have our childhood home that my mother was selling, but also looking for a quick close on another to buy. A lot of emotion was invested into the sale of my mother's home and the seamless and quick way Matt took care of it all was perfect. His attention to detail was on point and we felt our needs were taken care of the entire way. Not to mention, the amazing video he made of the home - I think is a big factor in which got us to selling within days!
On the flip side, he was also able to secure my mother a new home, in a new city under listing price. He knew her price point and made sure to secure her the best price with her priorities top of mind. I would recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!

Matt Bartholomew was attentive and supportive during the entire process. He located appropriate houses and very safely gave us the tours we requested. He was in our corner regarding how to offer and what additional requests we should make. We ended up with the right house, for the right money, with the right repairs made!

Matt was a great asset when I decided to sell my house. It took nearly a year to get everything done and ready but he kept in contact and made the whole transaction very easy.

Matt was great! Made us feel like we were important and his only clients even though he had several at once! Matt was very informative. Any questions we had, he was able to answer. Our home we sold was only on the market for roughly 12 hours before we received multiple offers. That’s the kind of recognition that you’ll receive from Matt due to his professionalism and his knowledge of the area. We are happily settling in to our new home and it would not have been possible without Matt’s hard work and determination!

Matt was awesome! From the moment he started working with me to even after we closed, he has been extremely helpful and responsive. Matt went above and beyond at every turn, finding me an off-market deal and getting me instant equity! I love my new house and look forward to referring many friends and family to him!

Matt was able to provide us a great experience from the home search to moving day. He was readily available. His expertise and relaxed manner allowed us to ACTUALLY ENJOY the process of moving (maybe not the paperwork)...but he made the process as painless as possible. I highly recommend Matt because he had a vast knowledge of the process and area, he was quick to answer our questions, and he had expansive resources in the rare occasion that he didn't know the answer (and replied quickly with those answers). I definitely felt that he was as invested in the process/our future as we were. Matt was great, you'd be lucky to work with him!

The moving process can be a bit overwhelming with selling and buying your house. Matt made the whole process seamless and as worry / stress free as it possibly could be. Guiding us step by step through out the process. Matt went above and beyond at every step of the way.

Were so excited with our new home and starting a garden and growing our family.

If you are looking for a realtor, hands down go with Matt.

We met Matt at an open house, and he just seemed so easy, welcoming and generous from the outset. We had a lot of time on our hands so we began looking more than a year before we made our offer. Matt was aware of this, and instead of saying, "Call me back in a year's time", he was ready to help us from the beginning. He listened to our unique desires and worked hard to find that diamond in the rough. What I especially appreciate about him is that he was generous with his time and he never, not once, made us feel that we were a nuisance. If he was thinking it (because we truly were extremely high maintenance), he never showed it once. I am the type of person who loves the search. I find it very enjoyable to do a house-hunting trip seeing 6 houses at a time. And Matt delivered. We must have seen a hundred homes with him, and that really helped us understand what was available and what we could get for our budget. When it came to making an offer, he gave us great advice that allowed us to win one with multiple offers. I remember messaging him into the wee hours of the night, and he would reply back within minutes. I could feel that he was truly invested in us, that he wanted what was best for us, and that he would do everything he could to get us the very best. Thank you, Matt! For your sake, I hope you don't have any more clients as high-maintenance as we were. And for those out there looking for an agent, Matt is your guy.

Matt was an incredible asset for my wife and I as first-time home buyers. Ours was a more complicated search, as we transitioned back to the US after living in Asia. For more than a year, Matt patiently and cheerfully guided us and supported us in our search. We know we weren't the easiest clients, with some particular characteristics we were looking for in a home, and Matt never wavered in his commitment to finding us the home we envisioned. He was always prompt in answering our questions, and if he didn't know the answer, he would point us in the right direction. He's thoughtful, down the personal touches of bringing a little "sold" sign for our photos with our new home. He even shared some of the amazing vegetables from his garden with us. I'm happy to say that we are in a wonderful house now thanks to Matt, and we feel lucky to call him a friend. For any future realtor needs we have, no one else will do but Matt!

From the start it felt like Matt was on my side. He really listened to what I wanted in a house and he graciously communicated with my family here and abroad throughout the entire process. He showed me A LOT of homes, which trained my eye and I really appreciate. It made it easy to identify what felt like home to me. After our offer was accepted, he cautiously negotiated with the seller's agent to make sure the house was in good condition. THANK YOU MATT for helping me find and buy my perfect first home!

Matt does a fanatastic job in this profession. He truly cares about going about things in the right way, and works tirelessly for you. After finding out we would be transferred about 2 hours from our current residence, Matt immediately started going to work for us. In a 4 week span we changed our search criteria multiple times, and looked at over 30 homes across the greater Minneapolis area. We spent every weekend with Matt to the point where it became more like meeting up with a friend to look through houses, than a realtor.

Matt made finding our first home a breeze! He was very knowledgeable about the houses that we went to look at and was not afraid to tell us the ups and downs about each home. He was also very open to make house searching on our terms and was able to work around our schedules. We looked at 10+ homes in one day and even by the end of the day we thought our search for the perfect home was continuing until Matt found one that he refused to take no for an answer from the other realtor and was bound and determined to get us into that house to check it out that night, and he did. Days later the home owners accepted our offer. Thank you Matt for getting Brandon and myself into the perfect first home and being so easy and reliable to work with.

Upon hearing of our transfer to the metro, we were working with a really tight timeline and considered renting. Matt reassured us that there would be a home for us out there. We spent what felt like every waking moment house hunting and looked at over 30 homes in just a few weeks. Matt was so responsive and always found the time to help us with our house hunting needs. We found a house that we have fallen in love with in the most perfect location. Thank you for everything, Matt! You were there every step of the way from information gathering to getting settled in our new home. You’ve made what can be a very stressful task something that was fun, easy, and rewarding! We loved working with you!

Matt was amazing to work with. He helped us on a very short expedited timeline while we were looking for a place to buy. He did not stop trying to help us find the right place and took us to over 30 showings! He was willing to go the extra mile to help answer any questions we had throughout the process and even provided several alternative listings that we were not initially aware of. Great realtor experience from start to finish with Matt.

As my Realtor Matt was very helpful and answered all the questions right from scheduling the first appointment to show the house till closing. Although we ran in to some hurdles with the buyer, Matt was good at advising drawbacks that I didn't know about while accepting the buyer offers. Matt was very punctual and was always getting back to my messages ASAP. Matt will go out of his job duties to make your property presentable, one example is when I was not able to attend some needs at my property to move some stuff, replacing light bulbs etc he did it by himself. I'm very glad I worked with Matt to sell my property and wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.

I have known Matt for a number of years, plus, worked with him on a number of home purchases. Matt's attention to the details of a transaction, listening skills and excellent communication certainly separate him from others in his industry.

My fiance and I could not have had a better home buying experience! 30 days from the start of looking to moved in! It's pertinent that I express the deepest gratitude to our realtor, Matt Bartholomew. I had been physically and mentally preparing myself for an inevitable long and stressful process as that's what I've heard from most of my friends and family is typical but that could not be further from the truth for us! Matt made the entire process from start to finish smooth, comfortable, and seamless. He did a ton of leg work, digging in to find information, following up on details, ensuring we're on track with our timeline. He was extremely prompt on returning our calls/texts/emails, and the list goes on and on. We are so happy with the entire process and how easy and successful he made it. I recommend him for anyone and everyone's home purchasing needs!
Contact him for your house shopping needs!

Working with Matt has been wonderful.
He was not pushy and understood what our family needed. He was willing to put in some serious work helping us find our home, spending countless hours sending out inquiries on our behalf. In fact, he found our home before it was even listed on the MLS! No matter your budget, Matt will be able to find the right place for you.

Matt Bartholomew and I worked on our first closing together for a client buying their first home! Everything went through flawlessly and Matt was an excellent communicator as well as partner to work with throughout this process.

I was an absolute wreck trying to shop for a house while living three states away - Matt made this process almost effortless.  He was always ready to pickup the phone and answer any questions or concerns I had the whole way.  Even after the closing, Matt continued to checkup and make sure everything was going great.  I had very specific tastes and Matt was able to be the perfect proxy for me - actually finding my dream home for less than what I was willing to pay and in the most incredible neighborhood!  He gave me constant updates and never complained if I wasn’t able to get back him immediately because of my chaotic schedule.  I’ve since moved back and into the perfect place, all thanks to Matt.  I couldn’t ask for a better or more knowledgeable realtor (or proxy!).
