Trusted advisor with excellent communication and transparent advice that goes above and beyond!

We had an outstanding experience working with Matt, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly. Selling a home in a challenging market is never easy, but he made the entire process much more manageable through his knowledge, experience, and dedication. What really sets him apart is that his support went far beyond simply helping us sell our home. From navigating negotiations and providing thoughtful recommendations to talking through different scenarios and handling unexpected situations, he was there every step of the way. He also has an incredible network of industry connections, which proved invaluable when we needed help coordinating repairs, addressing unexpected issues, and finding the right people to get things done. Throughout the entire process, he was patient, transparent, and flexible. He never made us feel pressured or pushed us toward a particular decision. Instead, he took the time to listen, explain our options, offer honest advice, and make sure we felt comfortable with every decision along the way. What started as a professional relationship ultimately became something much more valuable: a relationship built on trust. We came to see him not just as our real estate agent, but as a trusted advisor who genuinely had our best interests in mind. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, dependable, well-connected, patient, and truly committed to helping you through every aspect of the real estate process, we highly recommend him. We are incredibly grateful for everything he did for us and wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again!

Matt rocks! Couldn't have pulled it off with out him.

Selling our home in Carlsbad required much more than putting it on the market. Our family needed a carefully coordinated strategy that accounted for tax considerations, mortgage timing, and our children’s school schedules. Matt Sorensen helped us navigate those overlapping priorities and build a plan around our family’s needs. Matt understood that the timing and details mattered just as much as the sale itself. His thoughtful approach helped us work through a complicated situation with a clear path forward. If you’re looking for a Carlsbad real estate agent who considers the bigger picture, I highly recommend Matthew Sorensen. Our sale required careful planning, and we appreciated having him guide us through it. Jeff H.

Wonderful Realtor and Trusted Partner During a Difficult Time

Matt is not only incredibly skilled at what he does, but he truly understands the emotional toll probate can take on a family. He's honest, trustworthy, responsive and treats the entire process with care and respect. He's built a great team around him, but what I appreciated most was how personally involved he remained every step of the way. During an already raw and difficult time, having Matt as a partner made all the difference. I always felt like I was in good hands and could trust him to guide us toward the best possible outcome. He goes above and beyond and the results speak for themselves.

Matthew handled everything including getting the entire house fixed up and sold in one week.

We don't live in San Diego and needed someone who could manhandle the entire process of getting an extremely outdated house ready for the market. We thought it would be a challenging sale because of the current market conditions and the state of the house, but Matthew inspired confidence throughout the entire process and delivered in a big way. His go-to-market strategy worked brilliantly and we had multiple qualified offers in less than a week. He also helped ensure that Escrow and closing went perfectly and we couldn't be happier with our choice to use him. He delivered on the $ and kept the stress on our side to zero.

Truly amazing Realtor

Truly amazing Realtor

Selling a home through probate can be overwhelming, but Matt Sorensen made the entire process so much easier. We hired Matt to sell our property at 1773 Greenbrier in Fallbrook, and his experience, knowledge, and attention to detail made all the difference. Matt took charge of coordinating several vendors to get the home ready for sale, including new paint, flooring, cleaning, and other improvements. He handled all the moving parts and made sure the property looked its best without us having to manage everything ourselves. What impressed me most was Matt’s understanding of the real estate market and his willingness to give us honest advice. When the market wasn’t cooperating, rather than push us into accepting a lower price, he recommended taking the home off the market and waiting for a better opportunity. That decision turned out to be incredibly valuable. When we brought the property back on the market, we ended up getting $100,000 more than we could have the first time around! Matt wasn’t just trying to sell another house. He genuinely looked out for our best interests and treated the property as if it were his own. His patience, strategy, and negotiating skills made a huge financial difference for our family. If you’re looking for a Realtor who specializes in probate and estate property sales in Fallbrook or anywhere in San Diego County, I can’t recommend Matt Sorensen with Coldwell Banker Realty highly enough. His experience and guidance were invaluable, and we’re extremely grateful for the outcome!

Best of the Best!

I couldn't be happier with the results of selling my property at 5875 La Jolla Mesa Drive. Matt Sorensen was able to sell the home for far more than I ever imagined possible. What really impressed me was his creativity and ability to structure a transaction that worked for both the buyer and seller, helping everyone achieve their financial and tax goals. Matt didn't just focus on getting the highest price. He looked at the bigger picture, thought outside the box, and found solutions that made a significant financial difference for everyone involved. His experience, negotiating skills, and understanding of real estate truly set him apart. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome and would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to sell their home.

Matt held our hand every step of the way, guiding us calmly through a challenging home sale

We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to guide us through the sale of our home. From the beginning, his knowledge of the local market was spot on. He developed the right strategy, positioned the house well, and we only needed one weekend of showings before receiving multiple offers—including the buyers who ultimately purchased our home. What impressed me even more, though, was his communication and ability to navigate a very difficult and complicated situation. He has an incredible ability to read people, communicate effectively, and know when to push, when to give someone space, and how to keep everyone moving toward the same goal. There were moments during the process when I felt completely powerless to keep things on track, and he somehow always knew how to step in, lower the temperature, and move us forward. He also took a genuine personal interest in what we were going through. He wasn't simply trying to close a transaction—he cared about getting us through the process and was a calm, steady, guiding voice during a turbulent time. Selling a home is stressful under the best of circumstances. Our situation was anything but ordinary, and I honestly don't know how smoothly we would have gotten through it without him. His market knowledge was excellent, but his communication skills, patience, professionalism, and ability to manage people are what truly set him apart. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a realtor, especially if you want someone who understands that successfully selling a home is about much more than just knowing the market.

Resourceful, Connected, and Truly Outstanding

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Matthew. From beginning to end, he was absolutely exceptional and exceeded every expectation I had for a real estate agent. The house I was buying was a complicated transaction with a number of issues that came up along the way, and this is where Matthew really showed his value. Instead of simply identifying problems and leaving me to figure them out, he immediately went into action. He tapped into his network of trusted plumbers, termite professionals, inspectors, contractors, and other specialists to get me answers quickly and help me understand what needed to be addressed. He coordinated with everyone, followed up, and made an overwhelming process feel manageable. Matthew was equally incredible on the financial side. He worked closely with my mortgage broker to explore creative financing options and help structure the deal in a way that worked for me. He collaborated with everyone involved and stayed engaged in every aspect of the transaction. What impressed me most was that Matthew never treated anything as “not his job.” He took ownership, made calls, found solutions, and kept things moving. There were many times throughout the process when I thought, “I honestly don’t know how I would be navigating this without him.” He was knowledgeable, responsive, proactive, patient, and an incredible advocate for me from start to finish. I always felt that my best interests came first. I ended up with a home I absolutely love, and I genuinely believe the experience would have been dramatically more difficult without Matthew. I would recommend him to my closest friends and family without hesitation. Five stars truly doesn’t feel like enough. If you want an agent who is experienced, connected, resourceful, and completely committed to his clients, Matthew is the one.

Matt is a professional realtor and so helpful with explaining the process and what expectations will happen. Every step of the way he kept the sale rolling. Estate sale, cleaning up ,open house, flooring and painting scheduled, inspections and getting that work completed and the list goes on and on. He is very knowledgeable about what he is doing. Helpful at explaining. Passionate with getting the job done in a timely manner. Communication is another highlight. I was out of the area and Matt kept me in the loop. Even took photos of work getting done. ABOVE AND BEYOND 120%. Thank you MATT for all your professional experience in getting this home sold!!!

Best realtor in SoCal

We could not recommend Matt more highly. From the very beginning of our home purchase and sale in Carlsbad to home search in Laguna Hills through final closing, he was an exceptional partner and advocate for our family. We have worked with Matt for several years now, and what always stands out most is his combination of deep knowledge of the Southern CA market, responsiveness, sound judgment, and ability to negotiate effectively on our behalf. He takes the time to understand exactly what we are looking for and is never interested in simply getting us into a house. He genuinely wants to make sure we find the right home and make a smart decision. When we found the home we wanted, Matt was outstanding throughout the negotiation and due diligence process. He helped us navigate every issue thoughtfully, knew when to push and when to be strategic, and negotiated an outcome that significantly exceeded our expectations. At every stage, we felt that he was protecting our interests rather than simply trying to get the transaction closed. Just as importantly, Matt has always been incredibly accessible and proactive. Buying a home can be stressful, particularly when there are a lot of moving pieces, but he was always available to answer questions (24/7), provide perspective, coordinate with the various parties involved, and keep things moving forward. His professionalism and attention to detail gave us tremendous confidence throughout the process. He would regularly make multiple hour trips through traffic to meet with us in person. We've worked with other real estate professionals over the years, and Matt truly distinguishes himself. He is knowledgeable, trustworthy, strategic, responsive, and an excellent negotiator. We WILL work with him again without hesitation and would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home in San Diego and/or Orange County.

His experience and guidance ultimately helped us sell our home quickly and for the best possible price. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and experienced real estate professional.

Fantastic realtor, highly recommend

Matt is an absolute gem! He guided us through the buying process with such care, kindness and fantastic negotiation skills. Matt would always be available and patient with all of our questions, from the very first conversation to closing and even beyond that. You can tell he really cares for his clients! We had some unexpected things come up during the process, and Matt handled them all with such attentiveness and professionalism. In addition, he also has a great network of contractors that we enjoyed working with. We couldn't be happier, we'd give him 10 stars if we could!
