But what truly sets Matt apart is...

I had an exceptional experience working with Matt as our real estate agent in San Diego. Matt went above and beyond to assist my father-in-law in selling his house, even though my father-in-law lives in Los Angeles. From providing valuable advice to coordinating renovations and expertly listing the property, Matt's dedication was evident throughout the entire process. What truly sets Matt apart is his remarkable ability to deliver results. The house sold after just one weekend of showings, and to our amazement, it fetched a price far beyond our initial expectations. Matt's professionalism, market knowledge, and outstanding communication skills made this entire experience smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for a top-tier real estate agent in San Diego who can exceed your expectations and deliver exceptional results, I wholeheartedly recommend Matt. His expertise and commitment to his clients are truly unmatched. Thank you, Matt, for making this selling experience a remarkable success!

Two Years of Research + One Trusted Friend, We felt confident and supported throughout the process, but what really made us choose Matt was...

We started interviewing real estate agents two years before we planned to sell our home. We wanted to work with a good communicator who was non-pushy. Matt was available to answer questions and concerns during that time. We chose Matt on those qualities and on the recommendation of a trusted friend who had worked with Matt. Our small older home located in a target rich neighborhood presented challenges that Matt successfully navigated using research based strategies. Selling your home is both a financial and emotional journey. We felt confident and supported throughout the process.

Your search for a realtor is over!

Your search for a realtor is over!

We came to Matt as first-time homebuyers, and couldn't be happier with the experience of working with him, and with our new home! We were referred to Matt through a friend, and came into the home-buying process knowing very little about what to look for in a home beyond the basics. Our priorities were finding a home we could grow into over the next several years, with some room outside and in a friendly neighborhood with other young families. Matt is incredibly thorough and takes the time upfront to get to know his clients and what they're looking for - and beyond that, he educated us and helped us think about things we hadn't before. Buying a home is a journey, especially when it's your first, and especially in this competitive market, and you want a realtor who has your back throughout the process. Matt is more than just a great realtor, he is a highly empathetic person who takes the time to understand what his clients want and like/don't like, and makes sure you never settle for anything less than what you want. Even after closing, Matt has helped us find multiple contractors to address repairs in our new home before we moving in. We will definitely return to Matt for any future real estate adventures in our future!

Matt is super knowledgeable and professional when it comes to anything real estate. From selling, to buying, to staging, to escrow questions he either knows the answer or finds it for you in a flash. He is always available and tended to our every need making us feel like he was on our side the entire time. I could not have asked for a better realtor to help us on our very first home sale.

clients were so happy with the result,

Matt recently listed and sold a home for a client of mine. My clients were so happy with the result, and I referred them to Matt because I knew he was an excellent Realtor. He helped them present their home in the best way possible, and he took amazing photos that really showed of the home. He used techniques to build excitement in buyers and ultimately sold the home, after receiving a huge number of offers, for significantly over asking price. Matt is the reason why a Realtor should be used to buy or sell a home, and his experience and personal care are why Matt should be used. He's amazing.

Matt is THE guy!!

Matt is THE guy!! He is the one to ensure your home buying or selling needs are met when looking for a realtor. He goes above and beyond all expectations. He is thoughtful, receptive, and exceptionally detail-oriented. He had every step of our home selling process covered and took great care to ensure our outcome was as we hoped. We are incredibly grateful for his expertise and knowledge of this field. Matt will fight for his clients, and we will not hesitate to include Matt in all of our future real estate transactions.

He's the best in every way!

I came to Matt as a first time home-buyer, not knowing a single thing and he helped me through every step of the way. It was a long process but he stuck with me and gave me all of the resources and information I needed and then some, patiently answering all of my questions. He gave suggestions when I asked for help and would do virtual video call tours of homes for me when I wasn't able to be there physically. He's the best in every way!

Shines above the rest

Matt has an incredible eye for detail. He goes the extra mile. We were able to sell our house for well over the asking price with multiple offers, thanks to Matt’s expertise. He listened to us, walked us through the process and covered all the bases. He was diligent, readily available, willing to help in a moment’s notice and efficient in a timely manner. Not only does he demonstrate excellence in this field, he shines above the rest with his good character.

Matt made the selling process incredibly easy and took many steps many Realtors don't take, like

I used Matt O’Brien, Realtor to sell my codo in the San Diego’s Marina last winter and -simply put- he was outstanding! Matt had worked with my dad a few years back when he sold his home in Tierrasanta so my dad enthusiastically recommended him to me when I was on the market for a codo in downtown San Diego. Matt did an amazing job and helped me buy a beautiful condo downtown San Diego below asking price (in those days you still could find amazing deals!). Besides having done an outstanding job back then, I really appreciated Matt’s laid back and easy to work with attitude, so I kept in touch and contacted him before selling my condo in the Marina last winter. Before during and after the sale, I spoke with Matt numerous times and he spent hours answering questions, providing objective data regarding how long listings typically stay on the market, and providing tons of info on comps in the area etc. Matt made the selling process incredibly easy and took many steps many Realtors don't take, like helping to find an affordable/competent company to revamp the apartment, helping with the interview of potential contractors, having a pro come in to stage the apartment, having professional photographs taken, and a lot more. Matt even -=*personally*=- helped to buy new appliances for the kitchen, which unquestionably saved me a bit extra cash! When I saw my listing, I was blown away! Matt’s hard work and knowledge of the market really paid off - my listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition. Within a week I already had multiple offers above asking. I accepted the best offer (well above asking price) and Matt walked me through every step of the closing process. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. I will recommend Matt to everyone I know. He's a true professional and a genuinely nice guy. I realize it won't always be this easy to sell your home in San Diego, but I think it is very easy to find the best man for the job!
