Matt was patient, attentive, and truly understood what I was looking for. After working with me for six months, he found the perfect condo that checked all the boxes--without ever making me feel pressured. Matt also served as the seller's agent when I sold my previous condo. His knowledge of condo-sale requirements helped make the process smooth and straightforward. read more

Matt sets the bar high! Organized, savvy, communicative, and easy to get along with - which makes any real estate transaction go smoothly on both sides. I never felt like we were shooting blindly when putting in offers; Matt was prepared with comps, market analysis, and always offered his professional opinion without being pushy. I'll never forget that when I arrived to our final walkthrough before closing, Matt was sorting through the giant mess of keys that the seller left, trying each one in several doors and categorizing them into labeled piles for me. Above and beyond! read more

We found Matt through a recommendation from our close friends, who had shared how great of an experience they had finding a home with his help. As first time home buyers, we had a lot to learn (quickly) and Matt went above and beyond helping us get up to speed to successfully find our first home. Matt did a great job understanding our preferences and took extra time to help us learn about the industry, while being impartial in all the right places with regard to big decisions / considerations throughout the process. Matt's experience, work ethic, sharpness and friendliness helped us not only get familiar with the process, but also made it enjoyable. Matt also has many contacts that helped making moving and other externalities easier as well. Overall we feel very lucky to have found Matt and will definitely be returning customers for future ventures. Thank you Matt! read more

We decided to sell our house in the spring of 2025 and Matt was our first and only call after he helped us sell our previous home in 2019. Matt is the full package - providing a depth of understanding of the market that comes from his many years of experience, an excellent communicator and facilitator of tactical activities (pictures, showings, open houses, etc) to minimize the burden and disruption for the client, and a fantastic and unemotional coach through negotiations and the entire process. If we ever need to sell (or buy) for the 3rd time in the greater Boston area, Matt will be our first and only call.. again. read more

Matt was the best realtor we've worked with. Right away, he understood what our prioriries were and focused on finding the right fir for our needs. He was honest and knowledgeable about the market and the places he showed us- providing his knowledge and opinions without trying to sway us. After a short time, he found us the right place and made sure that the process was smooth and that our interests were protected. We would recommend him to anyone. He was a true pleasure to work with. read more

Matt is an amazing person and realtor. Matt helped us purchase our first investment property in MA this Summer. We do not live in the area and only saw Matt twice, but Matt kept us informed of what's out there in the market and what's coming up. He took our daughter to the open houses and FaceTimed us when they thought the property had potential. We couldn't be there for the home inspection, Matt volunteered to do that for us as well. Matt is very well connected. He recommended us to the attorney, the property management company, home inspector and insurance broker. We had positive experiences with everyone he sent our way. They're all knowledgeable in their area and very helpful. We have recommended Matt to people we know if the Boston area for their future real estate needs. read more

Truly enjoyed working with Matt on the buying and selling of our home in the Salem, MA area in 2023. My husband and I met Matt back in 2013 when he helped us rent an apartment in Cambridge and were impressed with his knowledge and commitment and kept in touch throughout the years. He was so patient with us as we searched for the perfect unicorn even though we were under the time pressure of a baby on the cusp of crawling during a particular tough time in the market. Overall a great guy to work with and would hands down recommend him for your real estate needs! read more

Amazingly knowledgeable, diligent, and friendly...Matt is a joy to work with. He has many contacts and connections to help with all the little (or big) items to take care of as you're preparing to sell. We feel fortunate to have chosen him as our realtor and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone. read more

Matt is my go-to realtor and I recommend him highly to others that are looking to buy a home in the Somerville/Cambridge/Medford area. I first worked with Matt on a home purchase a few years ago in Medford. I was blown away by his tireless work ethic, his extensive knowledge of the market, and just how smoothly the entire process went in his hands. Recently, I decided to sell and downside to new condo. I reached out to Matt and he was there in a heartbeat to navigate me through both the selling and buying process. Matt handled everything with care and with the attention to detail that he is known for. I could not be more pleased with the results. Matt is a true professional and overall awesome guy to have in your corner! read more

We are so grateful to have had Matt as our realtor when we were buying our first house. He was always attentive to what we were looking for and really helped us narrow down on the kind of house we were looking for. We never felt pressured to commit to any one house, and, in fact, could confidently rely on Matt to give us a no nonsense perspective on why a house may or may not be a good fit - he taught us a TON about what to look out for when inspecting a house for fit. Matt always went above and beyond. When looking for houses, he was super responsive, adapted houses he'd share with us based on our changing needs, and even advised us on other aspects on the process (eg what to look for in lenders). After we purchased, he continued to give us advice and insight on all the challenges we faced as first time home buyers. I recommended Matt to my sister and would pass along his name to anyone else who'd ask! read more

Matt is a phenomenal agent who made what could be a nightmare of a process a pleasure. He is responsive, supremely prepared, professional, exceptionally thorough, and very experienced. He is able to offer advice based on a wealth of experience in the area and will be honest when he doesn't know something or needs to find something out which gives me enormous reassurance in his honesty and the value of information that he gave me throughout the process of buying a house. Matt makes himself available and is capable of preternaturally fast turnaround with tasks, advice, and communication. He was able to meet me and my wife where we were most comfortable with regard to guidance and assistance in finding, touring, and vetting potential properties. He was able to accommodate in cases where we had atypical needs without issue and was conscientious of special requests we made throughout the process. On top of being an excellent agent, Matt is an absolute pleasure interpersonally. Every interaction my wife and I had with Matt left us with a smile, and he took the time to get to know my entire young family, which really gave the entire process a personal touch that really helped when making such a big family decision. I would happily recommend Matt to my closest friends and family and can't imagine anybody else guiding us through any real estate transaction that I may be considering in the future. Thank you so much, Matt! You made what could have been a nightmare a dream! read more

I highly recommend Matt Slovik. I first met Matt when he helped my daughter purchase her home in 2015. I remembered him as caring and invested. When I decided to move to Arlington in 2022, I reached out to Matt and am so happy I did! From the beginning, Matt was available and attentive. Matt has strong communication skills. He led me successfully through the steps of purchasing my first home Throughout the process, he was committed to finding me the "perfect" home. He always had time to answer my questions. Matt will work diligently on your behalf! read more

Matt helped us purchase our home. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. He was patient with us and answered all of our questions without judgement. Everyone he recommended to us during the process, whether it was an inspector, attorney, or lender, were all very knowledgeable, flexible, and supportive. Matt made a very stressful and emotional process as enjoyable and manageable as possible. He never pushed us one way or the other; but always gave his honest opinion by providing the pros and cons so we can make an informed decision. We cannot thank him enough. We are very grateful to have worked with him and highly recommend him. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and well rounded agent who can make your buying process an enjoyable one, then Matt is your guy. read more

It would be hard to have picked a worse time to start looking to buy a first home in Camberville than mid-pandemic with a tough market. But I really lucked out with Matt. He was always so on top of his work, punctual and responsible while also being fun to hang out with (which it turns out is a must with your agent, who you will spend a crazy amount of time with if you're like me). He knew when to push and when to let you have a break, and spent so long talking me through the game theory that is the offer system here. In the end, we did it - I closed in 2021 and love my new place. I'll also say the Compass online system is pretty good. It was easy to keep track of new listings and chatting with my agent through the website helped keep things organized when all the listings started to look the same. read more

If you are looking to buy, stop what you're doing and give Matt a call today! Matt is a rockstar and worked with us to get our first house and for that we are forever grateful. As first-time buyers we were looking for an agent that would understand our needs, provide suggestions, and guide us through the stressful process. Matt came recommended to us by friends that worked with him to purchase a condo in Somerville, and we are so appreciative that we were introduced. From our very first conversation, Matt learned our interests and walked us through the journey of buying a home. We started to visit open houses together based on our criteria and he provided tips and feedback on every single property. When we were considering making offers, Matt reminded us of our criteria that we shared on the first day and gave his professional opinion of the property based on our interests. He worked incredibly hard to ensure that when we finally did make an offer, we were comfortable with the price and never put his personal interests into the offer. Matt also performed incredible market research that made us confident that our offer was in line with the market and area. The entire process from start to finish was incredibly simple thanks to Matt. He was prepared from day one, guiding and assisting us with his bountiful resources (attorneys, inspectors, etc). Matt is the real deal and if you are looking to buy in the Greater Boston Area, he is your guy. read more

Matt is an asset to any prospective homebuyer in the Somerville/Cambridge area. This was our second time working with him and he made our buying process as smooth as possible in a very difficult market. Matt helped us think through our options and make confident decisions, from making offers, to negotiating terms, and finally, closing on our new place. He's always got a suggestion or a contact for any issues we faced. We are lucky to have had Matt in our corner and would work with him again in a heartbeat! read more

It's hard to describe in words how great it has been to work with Matt Slowik over the last 5 years but I'm going to try. During that time, Matt has been instrumental in guiding us through the complexities of the Boston Metro area real estate market for the purchase of 2 investment properties in Somerville and most recently, a new home in Lexington. Without exaggeration, he saved us over $100,000 in our most recent purchase. My wife and I had very stringent requirements for our new home which resulted in a very narrow range of suitable properties. Over the two years of our search, Matt tirelessly and patiently identified properties for us. We always felt supported in our search, despite the duration and limited number of homes that met our criteria. Matt made it a point to visit all the properties that we were interested in and seek feedback regarding our likes/dislikes for each property we considered. Matt truly wanted to help us find the right home. I think one of the best things about working with Matt is his substantial experience. This really paid off during the offer process, which in our area is characterized by timelines between showing, offer, and acceptance measured in just days. With such little time, high stakes, and emotional investment in this seller's market, making an offer is a really nerve-racking experience. This was especially the case for us where we were identifying 1-2 properties per year that met our criteria for an offer. In each case, Matt produced in-depth analysis on comparable properties, helped us strategize on the offer, and put together the offer package for us. He maintained constant communication with the seller's agent to get details, coordinate on-site visits, and glean last-minute insights about how competitive the bidding was. He was able to reach out through his network of connections to help us schedule extremely short-notice pre-offer inspections which gave us more confidence in our offer. For the home that we purchased in June 2021, we knew that the market was extremely unpredictable and had seen homes in our area selling for $150,000-$200,000 over asking. Having worked with other agents previously, oftentimes you hear the recommendation to just pay whatever you think the home is worth to you rather than to try to get a good deal. It is fair advice in such a competitive seller's market but it also feeds the market frenzy, not to mention being good for both agents involved since their commissions are based on a percentage of the sales price. For this house, my wife and I were prepared to pay at the upper range to ensure that our offer was accepted. The night before submitting the offer, we had a lengthy discussion with Matt and he agreed to write up the offer. Matt could have left things as they were but the next morning, Matt called me. He told me he had been thinking about it all night and thought our initial offer was too high. He recommended that we start the first round of offers at a lower number and had already prepared an alternate offer in case we agreed. We made this last-minute change and it was a good thing that we did. Our initial offer was accepted at the lower number. It's often hard to quantify the value of a good agent but in this case it's easy. With Matt's recommendation, we were able to save over $100,000. While there's a lot of noise in the offer and acceptance process so it's hard for anyone to predict exactly how to offer, this particular instance characterizes the excellence and integrity that Matt has demonstrated throughout our interactions. Without a doubt, Matt is one of the best agents in the Boston Metro area. What sets him apart from other agents is his unique combination of empathy and patience; coupled with his deep experience, clear-headedness, and integrity. In this crazy real estate market, Matt has my highest recommendation.

I recently closed on my first condo and Matt was incredibly helpful. Whenever I needed him, he was there. He was incredibly nice, helpful, and honest throughout the whole process. Throughout the shopping process, he'd show me units and ask me what I thought of the home and then tell me what what caught his eye, both pro and con. I really appreciated his honesty and expertise. He was helping me find the right home that suits my needs. He was also incredibly patient with me. I sort of knew what I was looking for, but struggled putting it into words. To make matters worse, I had well over 100 homes on my shopping list that were all over the map (literally and figuratively). Matt helped me strategize and prioritize to make it manageable. Once we come to closing, he was indispensable. Whenever I didn't understand something, he'd take the time to explain it to me. Needed an inspection but didn't know who to call? Not to worry, Matt has it covered. I decided I wanted to hire a designer to furnish my new home, but didn't know where to start. Matt had my back. The network he's accumulated was invaluable. Buying a first home is stressful, but Matt made the whole process so much better. If you're in the market for a buyer's agent, I'd STRONGLY recommend giving Matt a call. read more

We had the pleasure of working with Matt Slowik in buying and selling our condo in Brighton. His knowledge and expertise made what could have been a stressful and difficult process as seamless as it could be. We knew we were outgrowing our Boston condo but it needed updates so Matt connected us with contractors and designers to get our home ready to sell. Over the course of the year, Matt met with us quarterly to check in and help us feel out the market. Once we were ready to sell Matt and his team helped create a beautiful marketing package with photos, videos, and a digital tour. When it was time to show our home Matt called us after every open house and helped us through the decision of selecting the right offer. We received an amazing offer on our home all thanks to Matt and his team. We cannot thank Matt enough for all that he has done for us. read more

Matt is a rock star. We put our place on the market during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and Matt, along with the Santana Properties Team, had all of our real estate needs covered. From reviewing and assessing our condo to taking pictures and virtual tours, Matt was on top of everything. The photos and tour were exceptional and our place sold within 24 hours. Matt's communication was excellent throughout the process and we were always informed of next steps, paperwork to sign and in the end, he ended up dealing with closing too. read more

My wife and I bought our first condo with Matt's help in the Fall of 2021, and we could not be happier with our experience and new home. Throughout the purchasing process, Matt was always available to answer questions and was endlessly knowledgeable about trends in the market. We weren't totally sure what we were looking for when we started (size, location, etc) and he helped us narrow in on our exact specifications by asking great questions and showing us a variety of options in the area. He connected us to other folks in the business (lenders, inspectors, lawyers, etc) and helped us work with a contractor to do some renovations before we moved in. Most importantly, though, he never pressured us into rushing any decisions. I remember in our first conversation he said, "I would rather look with you for 5 years and not find anything than have you buy the wrong house tomorrow" and I believe him. He cares about his clients as people, which is what sets him apart in his work. In the months since helping us with our purchase, Matt has helped three of our friends buy their first homes as well, all on our recommendation! We can't wait to work with him over the coming years and could not recommend him more highly to others in the Boston area. read more

My wife and I were looking casually at places over the summer with little intention to buy until we found a new building in Somerville that really enticed us. A close friend of mine, who is very financially savvy and knowledgeable, highly recommended Matt to us. So sitting a pool with a glass of white wine in hand, I decided to call Matt. Matt was extremely professional and immediately I felt that I was in good hands and was dealing with someone who could make something happen for me without any pressure. I didn't know anything about the market, just that this place was a worthy investment. He was super responsive and came to our apt meeting to layout a plan based on our needs and financial situation. His analysis and knowledge of the market provided us with enough data points to make an educated decision. We made a bid the following week and our offer was immediately accepted. Matt pushed us and many others along during the process to keep everything moving ahead smoothly. He was very responsive to my texts and questions which was great. I would highly recommend Matt!

Starting from the first call we had with him, Matt has wowed us with his knowledge of the Greater Boston market, professionalism and efficiency, and genuine concern for our interests. We used Matt as our buyer's agent to purchase a property remotely during the pandemic, but we originally found him when a listing of his caught our eye. Although his listing had been sold by the time we called, he spent almost an hour sharing his knowledge of broader dynamics in the market and making sure he understood our situation and needs. We weren't particularly motivated buyers and had pretty limiting requirements, but Matt wasn't fazed at all and got straight to work finding suitable listings for us and reaching out to his network to find properties that were in the pipeline. We were bracing for a long search exacerbated by the pandemic, but Matt never made us feel pressured to compromise to speed things up and always gave us his honest evaluation of asking prices and the condition of the properties. Additionally, the Compass interface for sharing listings is extremely convenient and we were really glad that Matt had all the tech of Compass behind him. We ended up winning a bid on the right place within a month of working with Matt - a listing for which (thanks to Matt) we had researched comparables and considered renovation costs before it came to market. We have no doubt this preparation allowed us to win the bid, and our trust in Matt gave us confidence that we knew all relevant information about what we were buying without ever having toured it in person. We are now in the process of renovating the property, and even at this stage Matt has been an incredible resource. He has connected us to great local contractors and gone above and beyond to help - he has let in pre-move-in contractors/cleaners on our behalf, and even helped us check that all windows were closed during a storm. We've recommended Matt to everyone we know thinking about buying in the area. Don't bother working with anyone else. read more

After the passing of our sister, the estate needed to sell her condominium in Cambridge. After interviewing several agents, Matt Slowik was the clear choice. Throughout the sale process Matt was highly professional, attentive, proficient, and always willing to go the extra mile to help us out. As a real estate broker myself, I know a good agent when I see one. Matt has great integrity and is very trustworthy. Should I have future real estate business in the Boston area, Matt will be my first call. read more

Matt helped me and my wife immensely during our first time home buying experience. He explained things thoroughly and plainly making the whole process much less scary & confusing. Matt responded to all my late night texts and phone calls, often answering the same questions and when a delay in the closing came up Matt talked us through it and worked hard to get all our requirements met. I am so happy to have had Matt helping me but my new home and feel like I gained a lifetime realtor and friend. Thanks again Matt. read more

I couldn't have asked for a better realtor. I found a home I really wanted on a Friday and needed to act quick. Matt came highly recommended from my brother so I have him a call. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He was able to work with me quickly to go after the place, while giving me a 24 hour crash course in first time home buying. He removed all the stress out of the hectic weekend and made sure I was making all the right moves and understanding every step. He was able to give me some good advice on the offer and we were able to get the place. Even though it was a 3 day stint I felt like I was working with Matt for months. I look forward to recommending him to friends. read more

Would give Matt a 10 star if we could. My husband and I are so grateful to Matt and the entire Santana Properties team with their help in selling a house (& finding amd buying a new home). Matt went above amd beyond for us. We were living out of state at the time of selling. From the time we called Terry to see if we could be a client until the time Matt called with our first offer was literally about 12 days. A very unusual time for all, but Matt, Liz and team staged the home, watered our newly planted landscape, found locksmiths and worked with plumbers and National Grid on our behalf. I honestly can't say enough good things. The entire process was painless because of Matt and the Santana Properties team. Such great people, I will refer friends! read more

I am a first-time home buyer, and Matt helped me nail the deal and closing within 2 months!! Matt is very knowledge at the Greater Boston market and expert in explaining sophisticated home buying process to the buyers. He is always considering and representing my interest as we shop around and attend open houses. Matt is very responsive to all my emails, calls, texts even late in the evenings, which was helpful and reassuring for hectic first-time buyers. Highly recommend Matt to all first-time home buyers in Greater Boston area! Glendon read more

I can't say enough good things about Matt. This was my second home purchase, so I've worked with other realtors before. He's exactly the type of agent I was hoping to work with. He's knowledgeable, experienced, and more importantly, a good dude. He's all about giving you the info, so you can make the final decision, without being pushy or motivated by his own agenda. I knew he was absolutely the right choice, when he reinforced why I shouldn't buy a certain condo, even though a few close friends were pushing me to do it. And, I'm glad I didn't buy that one because I ended up with a place I love. read more

It is hard to put everything in words but I am beyond grateful for everything Matt did to help with the purchase of my Somerville home Fall 2018 and its sale Summer 2021. I truly believe there is no one who could have done the purchase and sale better than him and wish there was more I could do to demonstrate my appreciation for him beyond this review. I met Matt attending an open house in Somerville in 2018. It was my first time buying a home and since I had just moved from Chicago and was early in the house hunting process, I recall being seemingly scatterbrained when we first met. Despite that, Matt took me under his wing, intently listened to everything I had to say, guided me through the homebuying process and the lay of the land in Boston real estate. He was a clear STANDOUT compared to other realtors I met at open houses because of his gentle demeanor and patience. I immediately knew he was someone I would want to work with. There was not one moment where I felt pressured in any way and he made the home buying experience extremely enjoyable, as it should be for any home buyer. Within 2 weeks, he helped secure a competitive offer for my dream home in Somerville. He made the entire process seamless which was well appreciated given my busy schedule. Fast forward to summer 2021, I made the decision to move back to Chicago to be with my family. I was introduced to several realtors by close friends who were vying to sell my home during this hot market. Upon talking to them, I felt discouraged as they seemed to take an algorithmic approach based on a few comps and wanted to price my home lower than what I believe was market value. Given these stressful interactions, I knew I had to go with my gut (even though it meant disappointing my close friends) and reach out to Matt. From our very first conversation, it was a complete turnaround and I felt very encouraged. He knows Cambridge and Somerville well and is very diligent assessing the smallest details of your home, beyond the "numbers". I appreciated the time he took to explain his thought process while factoring in my input along the way. He had a lot of confidence in my home and what it has to offer and I knew he would be the perfect person to represent me and my home during this sale. We agreed on a listing price I was comfortable with and much higher than what the other realtors suggested. Matt pulled out all the stops to get my home marketed, staged beautifully, and ready for the open house. He kept me in the loop throughout the entire process, was extremely responsive via text/ phone, offered to help whenever he could, and really went above and beyond all my expectations. There was never a doubt in my mind that Matt was doing anything "less" than what could have been done. We ended up selling my home well above listing price. I was actually shocked (I still am today!) when it happened and know Matt played a HUGE role in making that happen. If you are looking for a realtor to make buying and selling your home a comfortable and pleasant experience, I would highly recommend Matt. I would be happy to provide further details on my experience since I have so much confidence he will do a wonderful job and devote his time and attention to you and your home. Matt is extremely skilled, does high quality work, is great with people, easy to work with, and overall a genuinely good person. He cares about you as a person and I honestly believe this is what sets him apart from everyone else. If I ever move back to Boston to purchase a home, I will 100% reach out to him without hesitation. Thank you Matt for leaving me with happy memories as I parted with the place I once called home. read more

Matt came highly recommended to us and after our first meeting, it was clear why. As first time sellers, we only knew what buying was like and Matt was more than happy to walk us through the entire selling process from start to finish. He remained an incredible resource throughout. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, personable, responsive and communicative. He asked questions, he listened, and he answered our questions honestly and candidly. The timing of our home sale coincided with the birth of our son and Matt definitely went out of his way to minimize the impact the sale had on our new family unit. We are lucky, thankful, and grateful to have had Matt on our team and you will be, too. read more

This wasn't our first time navigating the waters of buying a home and we've had some questionable experiences in the past. That being said, our experience this time around was an excellent one, due to the fact that Matt was by our side. We loved working with Matt throughout the entire process and knew it would be a good fit almost immediately. While he brought a wealth of knowledge and know-how to the process, we felt like his greatest attributes were humanizing the process along with a refreshing sense of humor, which are vital components especially with the stresses of purchasing a property. He quickly got a good read on our wants/needs/buying knowledge and adjusted his communication/style appropriately to give us more in terms of details/analysis/suggestions without too much of the basics. His availability overall was great; prompt for appointments and super flexible regarding scheduling while being cognizant of our time constraints. Getting the last minute offer in or adjusting said offer based on market analysis, he was there when we needed him. Even his referrals for inspector and electrician worked out very well for us in the end. I'll also add that he was the showing agent for our open house when we were selling our previous condo, and I'm happy to say we got a great above asking offer in that process too. All and all, Matt was a great partner in this process and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great agent. read more

Matt was an absolutely amazing buyers agent! The greater Boston area is a fast turnover, high stakes market that takes no prisoners. Because of our price point competition, it took us close to a year and multiple bids to find our home, all the while Matt stuck through with us the entire time. If he couldn't make the viewing we had, he'd schedule one of his own and make a point by point list of what he had saw. Did he go above and beyond? Yes. EVERY SINGLE TIME. We had an random, completely unknowledgeable agent agent prior to Matt. Because of this, we figured that over time he may slowly drop off, as purchasers with better buying power and revenue came in. This was not the case at ALL. Matt kept with us, answered all our random questions, and when he couldn't, he got in touch with contacts of every field outside his realm. It made you realize that he was there to help, not buy/sell, but to simply ensure that you got your perfect home, without the lemons. read more

Matt worked with us to sell our condominium in record time during the ongoing pandemic. He was an invaluable resource from the initial meeting - providing us with a realistic assessment - to the support he provided throughout the entire process - staging (must also give the amazing Liz Wheeler a shout out - the two of them are incredible team), open houses, reviewing offers, P&S process,etc. If we needed outside help, he had a (fabulous) recommendation. My panicked late Friday night emails were returned with Saturday morning calls. If he didn't hear from us, he'd check in and see if we needed anything - even while he was on vacation! Matt was always calm, genuine, & fun and that helped make the process that much less stressful. My only regret is that I couldn't buy the house next door to him because I'd love to be his neighbor!!! He's just an awesome human being! We'd use him again if we had the need and will recommend him to anyone looking to list their property. read more

Being a first time home buyer, I can't speak to what they typical experience is like. I can say, however, that Matt was incredible. He guided my wife and me through the process like a real estate Sherpa. He was always quick to return phone calls, texts and emails with whatever concerns or questions we had. He has a tireless approach; he always made every effort to meet us at an open house or set up a showing or go back and forth with the sellers' agent. His personality and professional style is also a major part of why we recommend him so highly. He is down to earth, honest and friendly. We never once felt like he was being phony or telling us what we wanted to hear. He always presented information in a balanced way, noting positives and negatives. He was never pushy, allowing us to form our own opinions and always putting our needs and wants at the forefront of the conversation. We enjoyed Matt's presence in our lives so much, we were actually a tiny bit sad once we closed because we had grown so accustomed to communicating with Matt every day. Its OK, though, because he still checks in now and then to see how were enjoying our new home. You're in the best hands with Matt as your agent. read more

Selling real estate for the first time can be confusing and stressful. Matt took the stress out of the process for us - he walked us through every step of the process and worked around our busy schedules. Based on Matt's analysis of comps, we competitively priced our condo and sold it the first weekend on very favorable terms. We highly recommend Matt to anyone who is selling real estate. read more

Matt and his team were absolutely incredible to work with and went above and beyond expectations during the sale of my house. Matt worked hard from the very beginning, taking the time to find comps for a house that admittedly was very difficult to comp. He talked through the greater Boston market and laid out his strategy for putting the house on the market in a way that was easy to understand and made me feel comfortable about the road ahead. Matt is also incredibly honest and I trusted his recommendations and advice about pricing and later working through offers. Since I had already moved out of state, it was incredibly important for me to work with someone who had great communication. Matt always kept me in the loop and I never felt like I was chasing down answers. Moreover, Matt made sure he or someone from his team were at the house to handle odds and ends -- furniture donations, junk removal, etc --since I could not be there. Ultimately, Matt made what can be an incredibly frustrating and stressful process much less so. I cannot say enough good things about him and his team!! read more

Matt and his team at Santana Properties were so helpful in finding my first home to own. He made the process really easy, and minimized the amount of stress that goes into the home buying process He worked hard to be there whenever I had any questions or concerns, and was very patient with any issue that came up. He was really interested in placing me in a situation that I was most comfortable with. I ended up finding a great place and am so very happy with everything about it. Matt was instrumental in this process, and I would highly recommend he and his team. read more

This was our first time buying a home and it was daunting, but Matt helped us so much the whole way! He was extremely available and encouraging during the search. When we were in the midst of making our offer and going back and forth we were so stressed, but he worked hard (while we were even out of town on the weekend) to help get us some advice from a contractor in very little time, and did everything he could at each step. The whole team made the process seem downright easy, I never would have imagined it would be that smooth. We are very happy now! read more

I just recently purchased a condo in Quincy, MA and I can't say enough about how great it was to work with Matt. First of all, as a first-time homebuyer the process was a bit daunting at first, but Matt's knowledge, experience, and communication made everything as manageable and stress-free as it can possibly get. Matt's honesty and just overall quality values as a real estate agent led to me finding a place that I absolutely love. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, and honestly feel as though working with Matt is also gaining an awesome friend. read more
