When my husband and I first were thinking about buying a home in Bella Vista, AR, we were driving around looking at houses that were for sale just getting an idea of the types of houses available and cost. As we were driving by, very slowly, a house that was for sale, Matt actually walked from the front of the house and motioned for us to stop. He said that while that house had just received a purchase agreement, he would be more than happy to help us out to find something else. We told him we were just looking at that point but he impressed us so much I saved the business card he gave us for use in the future. Fast forward a year or so later, we had decided to make the move and I called Matt. He was so patient and helpful finding, and then helping us through the process of buying, our new home. I can’t recommend him enough!

From the very first phone call all the way until closing, Matt was always very friendly & professional, quick to respond to all of our questions and helpful in our search for a new home in a new state. Within hours of reaching out to him, we were able to meet up with him and see several homes in person! When we decided on the home we bought, everything was handled smoothly and easily! He went above and beyond to help us out! If you’re looking to sell or buy a home, we highly recommend Matt Bastian! He is a professional in all respects!

Selling a home can be stressful, but Matthew made the entire process feel manageable from start to finish. His communication was exceptional. He kept us informed every step of the way, responded quickly to our questions, and was always honest and transparent. Matthew worked tirelessly to get our home in front of potential buyers and never stopped advocating for us. During negotiations, he fought for our best interests while providing thoughtful, strategic guidance. He also helped us identify the features that would make our home stand out and gave us practical advice on how to showcase them to buyers. Most importantly, we always felt like Matthew genuinely cared about getting us the best possible outcome, not just closing a sale. His professionalism, market knowledge, and dedication exceeded our expectations. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

We had such a great experience working with Matt! He helped us sell our home and purchase our new one, and he made the entire process so much easier and less stressful. He was always responsive, knowledgeable, and honest, and he went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. His communication and negotiating skills were excellent, and we always felt like he had our best interests in mind. We’re so grateful for all of his help and would highly recommend Matt to anyone buying or selling a home!

Matt was nothing short of amazing! From the moment I met him at an open house, I knew he was the right person to help me. To say he is attentive and pays attention to details that are important to a buyer is an understatement. With every question I had, he had answers or could recommend someone to help me with anything I might need for the new house. He has made this investment process smooth. He even looked further into the future and helped me nail down an area with good resale value. What more could anyone ask for in an agent!

Can’t say enough good things about Matthew. He did a great job of matching the things we wanted with houses he showed us. He responded promptly with answers to our questions. He had information about the areas we were interested in as well as the market in those areas.

Matt knew the area well, helped us understand the pros and cons of homes we viewed, and (most importantly) was a great communicator - keeping us in the loop as things progressed from negotiation all the way to closing.

Matthew is on top of his game with his responsiveness, knowledge of the market, integrity, and work ethic. We’ve had many realtors over the years and Matthew has always outperformed other real estate professionals leaving us impressed with his skills. Matthew always keeps my husband and I updated on the current situation both securing & selling properties in the area. We’ve never had to wonder where we are in the process. For this we are incredibly appreciative, and will of course continue to use his services. Thank You Matthew, Kent & Heidi Wright, Wrighthaven LLC

Outstanding realtor with the experience and connections to make a real difference throughout the process. I wasn’t sure I’d find a home that checked all the boxes while also ending up with a financial outcome I could feel proud of, but he exceeded my expectations. He never pressured me into anything, took the time to answer every question, and consistently advocated for what he knew was important to me. He leveraged his network which helped me achieve a very favorable financing outcome and virtually no out-of-pocket closing costs. He was always thinking a step ahead, looking out for my best interests, and made what could have been a stressful process feel much easier. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy a home.

Working with Matthew from Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate - Journey to sell our property was an absolute pleasure. From our very first conversation to the final closing, Matthew demonstrated a level of professionalism, market knowledge, and dedication that truly set him apart. What we appreciated most about Matthew was his sharp eye for detail and strategic thinking. When complex situations arose during the transaction—including navigating mismatched buyer financing terms, reviewing settlement details, and handling repair negotiations—Matthew was always a step ahead. He gave us clear, calm, and highly practical advice, ensuring our interests were protected at every single turn.Despite us managing this process remotely, his communication was flawless. He kept us updated in real-time, answered all of our questions thoroughly, and made sure every piece of paperwork was handled seamlessly. Thanks to his hard work, we successfully closed the sale of our home. If you are looking for an agent who is strategic, incredibly detail-oriented, and genuinely committed to getting you the best possible result, we cannot recommend Matthew highly enough!

Moving to a new state is stressful enough, but doing it with a toddler made buying a house feel especially overwhelming. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor to guide us through the process. From day one, Matthew made everything feel so much easier. He was incredibly responsive, always quick to answer our questions, and kept us informed every step of the way. He also went above and beyond by sending reminders for important deadlines and tasks on our end, which was invaluable during such a busy time. Even after we found our home, he continued to be an amazing resource by recommending trusted local professionals to help us get settled and set up our new house. His knowledge, organization, and genuine care made what could have been a very stressful experience feel manageable. We are so grateful for all of his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home—especially if you're navigating a long-distance move. He truly made all the difference!

This is the second time I have used Matthew, once as a buyer and this time as a seller. Both experiences have been excellent. Matthew knows his markets, stays on top of all issues, and is excellent to work with. He also has a network of resources that helps take care of the little things that come up in buying and selling homes. I highly recommend Matthew as a realtor to help find you the right property or sell a property depending on your needs..
