Matt went above and beyond for us during our home search and subsequent purchase this year (2014). Not only was he patient, thorough and knowledgeable, he was also unlike any realtor we've worked with previously. He's incredibly honest and forthright, as well as extremely well-informed about Grinnell and its surrounding communities. He is selfless with his time and was unbelievably prompt in answering questions and assessing concerns. We HIGHLY recommend Matt and wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.

Matt was a pleasure to work with. Here's why: 1) He knows just about everybody and every house on the market in Grinnell (and perhaps beyond, but I was looking only in Grinnell). 2) He's frank in his assessments without ignoring your own your own style of decision making, and needs, in searching for a home. 3) He's extremely friendly and quick to adapt to your situation; he has a very good understanding of the needs of people who have moved to the town for work. 4) He can provide contacts to contractors, bankers, insurance agents, etc. In my case, he was able to set up appointments with two contractors to look at some homes I was considering buying. This played a huge role in my selecting and purchasing the home I wanted at a fair price. I couldn't be happier.

We live 5 hours away and Matt handled all paper work and we were able to close via email. He was very helpful, friendly, prompt, and efficient. I highly recommend him as he also gave us helpful information about the area.

Matt worked hard at finding us the perfect property. Matt was very helpful in explaining all of the ins and outs of the process. I needed a property that could have 2 separate living areas with at least 3 bedrooms in one section. This was no easy task but he was able to show us several options. When I brought my earnest money in in cash (needed to provide a check)Matt even dropped off a deposit for me at my bank since I didn't have a local bank and he was going to be in a city with my bank that day. That is some super customer service.

Matt did an awesome job representing me, on the sale of my trip-plex. He was very knowledgeable and being a licensed real estate agent myself (in California), I'm sure I bugged him a lot. He was always patient, helpful courteous and professional every step of the way. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. It was a pleasure working with him!

From looking at houses in mid-October to closing in early December, working with Matt made the process so easy and every step go so quickly. I really appreciated his humor and candor, and I trusted his intuitions. He operates by the book. He watched out for and protected my interests. His extensive network of local experts and excellent working relationships with them were of valuable help to me in getting things fixed in advance of closing and moving in.

Speaking as someone who is knowledgeable with the construction process Matt was very complimentary in his views and additional knowledge of overall home construction, history and detail. Conversely I could see someone who had zero knowledge of the building trades still benefiting from Matt as he is very accommodating and would walk anybody through the process. I would recommend Matt to anybody who needs to buy or sell a house he is as he states "Always Working" but especially he is always working for you.

The main thing that stands out working with Matt is it was clear his goal was helping me find a home that I would be happy with now and for years to come. His realistic, easy-going, and common sense approach helped me feel comfortable working with him. I’ve worked with many realtors, Matt stands out as one that truly also has the best interest of the buyer in mind. Other advantages working with Matt (vs. other realtors) is his knowledge of construction and openness to show listings from other realtors.

Matt was great to work with. He put no pressure on us for anything while we were looking at homes. He was always there to answer any questions and give advice when asked.

We were first time buyers and new to Grinnell. Matt listened to how we described our ideal home AND how we described the level of work we wanted to put into remodeling a home. He also paid attention to who we were and how that translated into our needs in a house. We ended up buying not the house we thought we wanted, but rather the one that was (is) perfect for our family. Also, since we were out of state from the time we made the offer to the closing date, Matt was great in terms of setting us up with inspectors, lenders, etc., and making sure that all the paperwork was in the right place at the right time. And, most importantly, he's just really nice and fun to spend time with!
