When Matthew was a kid, his father bought and sold a curious assortment of Real Estate: a rambler in the suburbs; a farmhouse on 100 acres; a fairytale Tudor in a swanky neighborhood; a mountain home in Colorado. As his father drove him around neighborhoods, he developed an instinctive sense for value. And as his dad put him to work on projects, he learned what was behind the walls! He continued the hands-on work as an adult. He worked on the crew for a high-end Seattle builder constructing a Queen Anne view home, and he remodeled his own homes in Ballard and Magnolia.
Before long, he discovered that his house-knowledge and strong communication skills could combine to make him an exceptional Realtor. He now brings all his skills and abilities to his Real Estate clients.
For Sellers, he has a profound ability to find “the story” in your house. People are not motivated to purchase four walls and a roof. They are motivated to enter into a story where a home creates a backdrop for life. His skill is discerning the best story your house can tell. Everything about your house—location, condition, placement on the lot—contributes to this story. Everyone on his team, from stagers to photographers, is coached to produce this story with perfection. The results are extremely successful for his sellers—both personally and financially.
For Buyers, he is a passionate advocate and a caring coach. He creates a process where you learn to ask the right questions: of yourselves, of the house, and of him. He will teach you everything he knows so you can decide confidently whether a house will truly advance your story--not only meeting your needs, but moving your life forward. Once you have made that decision, he will hold nothing back in negotiating on your behalf. For his buyers, this results in a confident, shrewd, well-coached, and (as much as possible) stress-free purchase!
