Beyond thankful our friends recommended Matt to be our realtor

Beyond thankful our friends recommended Matt to be our realtor

We are beyond thankful that our friends recommended Matt to be our realtor when we were looking to buy a house in San Diego. To say the least, he will be our SD realtor for everything in the future. After only a few house tours, he knew exactly what type of home we were looking for (and which walls my wife wants to knock down, but that's another story). He was always available to chat, was very timely with the many homes we wanted to see, and stuck through thick and thin for 8 offers total until we found the perfect home. I'm pretty sure his ability to build relationships with other relators and lenders helped tremendously in winning our current home. Matt is hands-down the best realtor around.

As first time home buyers, we interviewed multiple realtors

As first time home buyers, we interviewed multiple realtors. When we met Matt, we knew right away we wanted to work with him- not just because of his expertise and experience but because he was personable. And it ended up being the best decision we made! Not only was he patient with us (we looked for a home over the span of a year on and off) but he went out of his way to show us homes during COVID times and even when we were out of town via video. It also meant a lot to us that he pointed out not just the pros, but also all the cons, at the different homes we looked at. He wasn't trying to just sell us a house, he was trying to find us our dream home and encouraged us to not settle. He continues to be our go-to guy for home renovation questions and advice. So thankful for him! Our realtor for life!

Matt is the best! He is professional and knowledgeable in all aspects when it comes to selling your property. When it comes time to sell your property Matt is the one to call. He has sold three properties for me and my family members. The last one was my condo in Hillcrest without a hitch from start to finish. Thank you Matt.

Very trustworthy, and goes the extra mile for his clients time and time again, 10/10!!!!!

Matt is an INCREDIBLE realtor. From the get go he was personable, friendly, kind and very knowledgeable. This was my girlfriend and I’s first home buying experience so we had no clue what the process was or what we were doing. Matt was there every step of the way to help us and make us feel comfortable. He knew the areas of San Diego incredibly well, and had insight into the different condo complexes that really provided us with that extra bit of knowledge we needed to make the best decision we could. Matt helped us craft a very smart offer on a townhouse that got accepted, he coached us through escrow, and even met up with us after closing to show us where to go for a remodel. We’ll definitely use Matt for our future house and I can’t recommend this man enough. Very trustworthy, and goes the extra mile for his clients time and time again, 10/10!!!!! Friend for life too.

I ended up with Matt as my realtor many many years ago, by chance really and I could not have gotten luckier. If you’re considering Matt as your realtor, my advice is 1000% yes, hands down, not a single hesitation. He helped us buy our first home seven years ago and has consistently stayed in touch since then. He wasn’t just available to us during that time, but had truly built an ongoing relationship with our family. Not only was he an excellent resource during the home buying process, but he has also remained such an invaluable resource to us over the years as we think about both where/when we should make our next move and how to get the most value out of our house when the time comes. Even though we’ve been discussing selling/moving for some years now - and just been unable to pull financially pull the trigger as yet - he never makes me feel like I’m getting on his nerves or wasting his time - and I always appreciate his smart advice. This year we had a little extra money due to stimulus checks and decided finally update our incredibly dated kitchen that wasn’t working well for our family. I’ve never really done any major home updates/renovations before and honestly wasn’t sure where or how to start - and wouldn’t have gotten it done without Matt’s help. He helped me understand how the process should go and where I could buy my cabinets/countertops for a good deal and even met me there to help me make my choices (but didn’t push his own opinions on me). Then he hooked me up with his trusted handyman to handle most of the work, who did an excellent job. In the end we now have a beautiful, significantly more functional kitchen that we’ll enjoy very much until we (hopefully) sell soon and capitalize on the investment. And we have Matt to thank for it, in large part! He’s the one, just hire him already! :-)

We loved working with Matt. This process was new for us and he was very patient and knowledgeable. Matt always made us feel like a priority and was always available. While the selling process can be stressful and is not without challenges, Matt was always 2 steps ahead. We are so thankful he was referred to us and would recommend one hundred times over.

There wasn’t a second throughout the entire process where we doubted this.

We can’t say enough great things about Matt O’Brien. As first-time home buyers who were searching from across the country, we relied HEAVILY on Matt. Not only did we have a million questions that Matt patiently answered and re-answered, Matt also catered to our unique situation of needing to tour homes virtually. He even got a gimbal for his phone to optimize our video-call experience. It was the little touches like this that made us appreciate Matt so much. Matt loves what he does for a living and it’s evident. On top of Matt being so accommodating, he’s extremely knowledgeable about the market and has great relationships throughout the industry. We relied on Matt for advice and felt comfortable accepting any recommendations that he made. Most important, in my opinion, we always knew that Matt cared about and kept our best interest in mind. There wasn’t a second throughout the entire process where we doubted this. Matt guided us and counseled us through decisions and negotiations in a way that was extremely honest and extremely professional. With Matt’s guidance, we purchased a beautiful home that we’re so excited about. We highly recommend Matt O’Brien - I don’t think you’ll find any better in the industry. We feel so lucky to have found him and we know you’ll have a similarly fantastic experience.

I just completed a sale with Matt O'Brien (selling agent) and as a CA licensed Broker myself, I have very high expectations of the Real Estate Professionals that I work with. Based on my experience with Matt and his attention to detail, expertise, professional demeanor, thoroughness and responsiveness, I would hire Matt the next time I am in the market to buy a home personally. I know and have experienced that he truly cares about his clients. Thank you Matt!

Professional, knowledgeable, kind and by far the best realtor we have ever worked with

Professional, knowledgeable, kind and by far the best realtor we have ever worked with

Matt was recommended to us through a mutual friend, and having had REALLY poor experiences with realtors before it was a bit unnerving starting the process again when we got news that we were picking up and moving our family across the country. We contacted Matt, let him know of our tight timeline and situation and within 24 hours he was at our home guiding us through the process. We are a family of 5(3 kids that range from age 10-3) that is moving from Sunny San Diego to Nashville, TN. To say it was overwhelming is an understatement but once Matt entered he brought a form of confidence that our very short timeline could be met. He guided us through updating a few things through out the home, staged our home beautifully, got us on the market, and set up a very safe and effective Covid style open house with 70+ showings in 2 days. Within 24 hours of the last showing we were presented with 37 offers on our home which in itself blew our minds. He guided us through the offers and helped us decide on one and got us closed in 23 days at top dollar for our home. We are so grateful for Matt and his expertise! He is professional, knowledgeable, kind and by far the best realtor we have ever worked with. His communication skills are beyond, and for someone who likes to be in the know at all times that helped my stress level through the whole process. Call him, you will not be disappointed!
