We would strongly recommend Matt to our friends and family in the area…read more We met with several realtors before choosing to work with Matthew to sell our home in Bellevue, WA. Matt wasn't the lowest rate, the highest sale volume, nor did he cite a substantially higher sale price. But his recommendations on prep/staging/marketing; his full-service, detailed, and organized approach; and our ability to speak honestly about expectations really stood out. We also appreciated that he recommended ways to highlight the unique touches in the home, rather than (literally) whitewashing everything as some other realtors advised. His approach magnified the things we loved about the home and the care we put into maintaining and improving it. We were out-of-state during the majority of the sale, and relied on Matt and his team very heavily for sale preparation. He made proposals, got quotes, and oversaw work. Matt was upfront about whether he thought each suggested improvement would pay for itself, and actively advised against changes other realtors had suggested that he didn't think were worth it. He was always clear that it was our decision and also happily accommodated us doing some of the work ourselves. Because of his and his team's diligence we were able to hit our target list date, with a house that was shown in its best light. The local market had become more uncertain: markets were softening and a similar house down the street was sitting on the market after weeks, despite a price drop. We adjusted our intended list price (still within his initial range) and our expectations, but Matt remained confident in the home and how it would show. We got an under-asking offer early, and Matt went into overdrive to solicit additional offers. Ultimately we got a very attractive at-list-price offer, the house went pending within a week of listing, and we had a very smooth closing experience. There's always luck involved, but we expect that with most other realtors it would have more work for us to get the house on the market and the sale price would have been lower.

He is extremely knowledgable and took time to walk us through the process and expectation. He was always communicative and very reliable whenever we have questions or need to look at some properties. We originally intend to be more passive while looking at houses and would take time to look through options. Matt was very receptive to that and always ensure we are truly comfortable with any decision we make. In the end, we got a new home pretty quickly also below the list price. The negotiation was handled expertly and any problems during the transactions were handled efficiently. I'd totally recommend Matt to anyone looking to buying a property actively or passively alike.

Get Happy at Home made the entire house buying experience a joyful and supremely positive…read moreexperience! Our first meeting with Matt, we spent over 90 minutes talking about our wants, needs, and preferences. He also walked us through their entire process, from our first tour through closing. From there, we had the chance to meet the team, and every single person over there is incredible. Ryan is like John D. Rockefeller fused with the Terminator (this is a compliment Ryan, I promise!) - he can spot issues and pain points in a house at a glance, and will literally leave no stone unturned to ensure things are up to code and built the way they're supposed to be (we watched him crawl into the smallest crawl space imaginable to check the insulation of a house once, I was shook). Karl is the most visionary man I've ever met, on several tours he painted a picture of all the ways we could modify a house to meet our preferences. I'm not talking about "hang a painting here", Karl would open his bid with "tear this half of the house down and rebuild it this way", and it was phenomenal. What I would give to pay a visit to his imagination. Matt is a force of nature. On any given day, he's juggling 5 of the craziest conversations and deals you can imagine, and HE has THEM all on the back foot. Matt knows the entire area and real estate market like the back of his hand, and always gave it to us straight as to what we were looking at. We certainly would not have found our dream house without his expertise, promptness, initiative, and professionalism. And of course there's Marta, who holds the whole operation together. What would we have done without her guidance in scheduling our tours and the weekly updates on our progress all the way up to and even after our closing! Two particular experiences stand out to me: On one house we were considering, we went back to visit at night to get a feel for the after-sun atmosphere. While we were there, Karl walked us through all the things about the house we might like or dislike, how we'd change them, and generally how the value of the house stood up to the asking price. We spent over an hour together that evening just chatting like old friends, and by the end of it, we determined that the house wasn't the one for us after all. In another instance, we toured a house that we were SURE was the one, so we went back in the evening with Ryan to look at it again. During that conversation, Ryan didn't try to convince us to make an offer or to walk away, he simply asked us questions. The one that got us was "let's pretend we were sitting in this house 5 or 10 years from now. Is it everything you need and want?". Walking through that exercise made us realize that the house was great for a childless couple, but perhaps not so once little ones become a factor. This was something we completely glossed over as we got caught up in the excitement of the house, and thanks to Ryan, we made the right choice to pass. In the end, we ended up buying the house of our dreams, a new build in the neighborhood we wanted with all of the things we were looking for. There's no way we would have ended up here without the entire team's expertise and willingness to endure a temporary "no" for the right "yes". I could not have asked for a better team to partner with for this search, and now we're happily in our dream house :) I would recommend GHAH 1000 times in a row, this whole team kicks serious ass.

I had the pleasure of meeting Thu has a notary a long time ago ago…read more When I found out she's a licensed and experienced real estate agent I told her about my real estate plans. As a single mom I was super worried about making big moves but I was quite intrigued with her because she had accomplished my goals plus more. From woman to woman, I am so glad I met her because she had my best interest at heart. After I told her what my plans are, she told me things I need to avoid that no one else had brought up before and things I may want to consider instead to save money and time. Thank God! I would have put myself in a bind if she didn't advise me. Today I own multiple homes and because of her, I saved so much! Heartache, stress as well as financially. I will always go back to her with all of my real estate plans. So it's been a while and I lost her number. I found her again through Yelp and I'm so glad. She has helped many people buy and sell in my price range. I trust her to be honest and upfront with me if my plans are good, bad or have issues I should be careful with. Thank you Thu!!
