Earlier this year, we were looking to buy a condo, and I contacted the Matt Laricy Group, and ended up working with Matt Piegza. I have to say that Matt has surpassed all of my expectations. Matt took the time to sit down with us and figure out what we were looking for i.e. Location, Budget, Housing type. Matt is an excellent communicator and would follow up with us as needed and whenever we had a question, Matt would in a very timely fashion (Usually within a couple of hours), this is a huge plus in my book. We did hit a couple of snags along the way (this is usually expected) and Matt was able to help us out along the way and was able to take care of any concerns we had and as a result we were able to close on time. Matt was also very flexible in scheduling showings and was able to schedule within 24 hours. I do hope to work with Matt in the future again! Matt is truly professional and takes the time to get to know you and your needs and is able guide you along the way, and is not pushy. In other words Matt Piegza and the Matt Laricy Group are a class act. read more

I own multiple AirBnb listings in Chicago and used Matt as my realtor for my most recent purchase. As a client, I can almost guarantee that I am different than anyone else he's worked with. Whereas most people are looking for a place to call home, I was looking for something with as many rooms as possible that I could systematically transform into a shared AirBnb space for people from around the world. Matt took the time to ask me the right questions to learn about my business and my needs before tailoring his search. We found a place very quickly because we did not waste too much time looking at places that clearly didn't fit the bill. Despite sticking out with his fancy suits in some of Chicago's less than affluent areas, Matt always had a smile on his face and the entire process was seamless from the first phone call to the "Let's by another house" text I just received a few minutes ago. If you're looking for someone who is a true professional and can share a few laughs with you along the way, Matt Piegza is your guy. read more

We can't say enough great things about our experience working with Matt. Searching for our perfect home certainly didn't come without a few bumps along the way, but Matt remained our True North. He is very knowledgeable of the different Chicago downtown areas, was willing to share the pros and cons of different homes, and his response time was ALWAYS impeccable. Emails or texts, no matter the time, he responded. We certainly weren't an easy client for him either--we cancelled a contract two weeks before of our close date due to water/roof repairs we weren't comfortable with, and Matt stood by our side. While working with other vendors (lending and others), Matt kept us aware of possible outcomes that weren't always easy to hear. We truly can't be more appreciative of his honestly and guidance. I don't foresee us searching for a new home soon since we are very happy with our purchase, but when we do, we would definitely use his services again. Thanks, Matt! read more

Matt and his team were amazing throughout the entire buying process. Very knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. He was upfront about everything and broke down the complete process which was very helpful for a first-time buyer such as myself. I also appreciated his honesty, whether it was letting us know of any reservations he had about a property or encouraging us to not rush into anything if we weren't 100% in love with a space. We also had a very quick offer-to-closing time period which he and his team accommodated beautifully without any hitches. They have a great network of people that they work with which really streamlines the process. It gave us the confidence and peace of mind that we were getting the best price for every service (inspection, lawyer, etc.). I would highly recommend working with him and his team! read more

If you're looking for the best agent in Chicago, stop now. You found him. I can't say enough good things about Matt as an agent. He was incredibly diligent and thorough with our search, immediately responsive, and always available. Most of all, he was immensely patient and understanding. I have to imagine that we were the pickiest clients he has ever come across. We changed our search criteria more than once, and as an attorney, I have a very hectic work schedule. Nonetheless, Matt consistently found a way to make things happen and got us into the places we wanted to view, when we wanted to view them. I literally go out of my way to recommend him to friends and family--even those who don't need an agent just yet. Do yourself a favor and give him a call. read more

I think Matt is such an excellent broker because he's such a good person. He's considerate, devoted, and determined to make sure you're happy not only with your purchase but also with your experience. I started out my search for a condo with little to know idea what I was looking for but Matt helped me narrow down my preferences to ultimately find exactly what I wanted. I was able to express what I liked and didn't like, and he used that information and helped me discover my dream home, which I am currently sitting in as I write this review. He helped me find it, buy it, and celebrate a housewarming in it! You will not find someone who is more determined to get you what you want. Happy house hunting! read more

Working with Matt for a second time was a no brainer! Matt and his team make the buying and selling process seamless. As buyers, we would let him know which properties we were interested in and we would see all of them the very next day. As sellers, we never had a down week for showings. Once we were under contract Matt and his team tracked down all the necessary paper work and documents to ensure there were no delays and made scheduling a breeze. He has a great network of referrals for all your home buying/selling needs. He was always available to answered any of our questions and was a huge help during negotiations. We will certainly be calling on Matt again for any other real estate needs! read more

Matt was a tremendous advocate throughout my buying process. He was in tune with my needs and wants, focusing solely on the things that were important to me. So much so, that he went out of his way to think of me while he saw properties that might not have been a fit for his other clients. He doesn't rest until you get what you want! His tenacious attitude was evident even in the last moments at signing. He and his team pushed all parties involved in the transaction to stay on schedule and ensured that the deal was done without any issue. I can honestly say Matt also became a friend in the process! Thanks Matt - I'll recommend you to anyone that will listen to me going forward! read more

From my initial email exchange with Matt all the way through closing I was blown away by his responsiveness and willingness to help. As first-time homeowners having an agent who was thorough and patient was a must. Matt made sure to communicate everything we should expect from the start and made himself available to answer any and all questions whenever they came up! We couldn't of asked for a better agent or buying experience and will most definitely recommend him to anyone who is in the process of buying or selling.

My husband and I worked with Matt in the fall of 2019, as we were looking for our first home in Chicago. Our friends recommended Matt, after also purchasing a house from him. Matt was quick to respond to any and all questions we had, and helped us with every step of the way.

I can't recommend Matt enough. We're first-time buyers and he was able to ease any nerves we had throughout the whole process. He answered all our questions, no matter how trivial, and made sure we were taken care of. He suggested great people to work with as well, from lawyers to mortgage brokers to the inspection team. We knew he was only a phone call or email away, and that he would always get back within a day or so (usually within a few hours). We couldn't be happier with our experience. read more

Strongest recommendation. Matt was hired to sell our condo. We were worried about listing during the winter season but Matt coordinated incredible pictures and video that showed our home so well. We successfully sold on the first weekend on the market at a great price. Matt and his agency are very professional in an industry that unfortunately has become too casual. Selling or buying a home is an incredibly big decision and Matt does not take that responsibility lightly. read more

My wife and I have a schedule that limits our time we can look at properties. We met with 5 people and it was on a Sunday due to our schedule. We met with Matt and he was suited up and super professional. Everyone else showed up in casual clothes like gym shoes and shorts etc. The appreance alone spoke miles about how serious he actual takes his career. On top of that he was always quick with responses and helping us find the right place. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

Matt scheduled showings quickly and efficiently. He kept me updated daily with new listings and always responded to any questions or concerns I had. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and specs of homes in those specific areas. Matt worked with me until the job was completed, and i'm very happy with my new home. Being a first time owner buyer he was very helpful and checked all of the boxes. I highly recommend Matt and would definitely work with him again read more

Matt did an amazing job helping us find our rental! We recently moved from San Francisco to Chicago and had been staying with family in the suburbs. We both work in the city so wanted to find a place ASAP. He kept us updated on what was available and only showed us apartments that met our criteria. The whole process was completely painless and we are so happy with our new place! Don't hesitate to reach out to Matt when you are looking for your next place! read more

Having worked with several realtors in the US and the UK, Matt was the most impressive. His flexibility, knowledge, and practical viewpoints are all that you would expect from a first class realtor. What stands him out from the rest is his honesty, his network, and his ability to provide views and options that fully meet your desires and available resources without the need to go in circles (which has been the case with other realtors in the past). read more

Matt Piegza was extraordinarily helpful in assisting my roommates and I in finding our new apartment. He sent us several good listings within our budget and location requests, and he was flexible in accommodating viewings within our busy schedules. He was honest of his opinion of the apartments we saw and did not pressure us into renting until we found the perfect place for us. It was by far the best experience that I have had with a realtor. read more
