We would strongly recommend Matt to our friends and family in the area. 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. read more

Matt was kind and responsive through the process of selling my townhome. He provided good recommendations for handymen and fought for me to get top dollar in a saturated market. I also respect that he donates parts of his proceeds to support a nonprofit upon closing! read more

Matt is the best realtor we ever have buying a property. He helped us bought a home in Issaquah in a tricky market condition. 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. read more

I was referred to Matt by a friend of mine who bought a house from Matt. My experience with him when buying my first home was very good. Matt was very knowledgeable, patient, honest, and not pushy like most salesman. He would provide me with options, suggestions, and advice with my best interest; he kept me grounded while still encouraging me in my pursuit of my dream home. A plus in my books, he's a believer and donates part of his earnings to nonprofit. I would buy from him again! read more

The "Broker's Broker," Matt Chapman is well-known and well-loved by home inspectors and real estate professionals alike. The moment we signed with Matt to sell our home, we knew it was going to be a STRESS-FREE, HASSLE-FREE sale! We were out of state those brief couple of weeks while Matt took care of everything from landscape sprucing to staging to photography! He even made sure our bins were on the curb for last pick-up when we closed (a very swift 10 days from list to close!). We do love his practices of HUMILITY and GENEROSITY- not just with the wonderful non-profits that he gives to at each closing- but to clients, other RE professionals, even neighbors and Open House guests. Matt and his team are so easy to work with, highly communicative and, most importantly, TRUSTWORTHY! read more

Matthew Chapman - Windermere Real Estate - Mahalo, Matt!! - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Matt came highly recommended from a good friend of ours, and I'm happy to say he did not disappoint. We wanted to buy a new house before selling our current one -- a slightly unique situation, and Matt guided us through the entire process. At the beginning of the buying process we didn't quite know what we wanted, and Matt walked us through each of the houses as we all learned together what my family and I wanted in our new home. Matt was extremely patient throughout the entire process. Once we started zeroing in on homes and getting closer to putting offers down Matt walked us through that process and communicated extremely well. When Matt wasn't available he made sure he had colleagues that could tour homes with us. We ended up bumping a contingent offer to win our new house -- something Matt again guided us through. Once we had bought and moved Matt got our old house ready to sell in a week. He setup painters, cleaners, a photographer, and stagers. It was extremely nice to work with a real estate agent who just gets it. Because of all of this we had an over-asking offer in just 2 days. I have already recommend Matt to a few of our friends, and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the PNW. He is an extremely competent professional who knows the market, and how to buy or sell homes in the Northwest. On top of all that he's just a nice guy who is a pleasure to be around. Cannot recommend him enough. read more

When the housing market started shooting up in late 2020 in the Bay Area, we contacted Matt to look for a house in Greater Seattle Area as you'd get a bigger house for the same price. But because of my company's changing remote work policy, we had to stay back in the Bay Area but not before we had an amazing experience working with Matt. Matt was very welcoming to the idea of us looking for houses in Seattle even though we were in the Bay Area. Any property we liked, he'd quickly go to the property(or send his close associates) and show us the house on Facetime. Once we liked a bunch of properties, I'd schedule a trip down to Seattle to visit the properties in person. In Seattle, unlike in the Bay, a lot of houses do not have inspection reports. Matt was always on top of his game and would quickly schedule an inspection with his trusted inspectors who'd give me a step by step overview of the inspection. Matt never pushed us to buy anything without an inspection. Matt has amazing skills in spotting great off-market opportunities and sealing the deal for his customers even before the property hit the market. This will ensure the buyer generally pays less than what they would have after the property hit the market owing to bidding wars that are common in Greater Seattle Areas. I attribute this to Matt's excellent communication skills and pro-activeness to get things going even before he had to. Matt's final offer price estimation was also spot on more than 90% of the time. Multiple houses that we liked in Bothell and Sammamish, he was extremely close in predicting the winning offer but he never forced us to make his prediction the final offer and always let us make the final call. I really appreciated this as I've seen realtors who are in an hurry to close the deal pressurize buyers. Matt also keeps abreast with the broader real estate market in the US. I remember him telling me in Jan 2021 that the housing market would continue to shoot up, at least until April-May 2021. I was flabbergasted at his prediction because I felt the housing prices were already sky high back in Jan 2021. But lo and behold, he was right and the market continued its upward march!! All in all, we had a wonderful working experience with Matt and would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a property in Greater Seattle Area. read more

My wife and I worked with Matt to buy our first home and can not recommend him enough! Matt went through battles with us to try and land a home in the turbulent Seattle real estate market. We got to know Matt back at the beginning/middle of 2020 when there was so much uncertainty and he helped us through everything, every step of the way. We finally landed on our perfect home and we couldn't be happier! Matt goes by the motto of 'I'm in your corner' and he truly is, he will help you and work for you, on your schedule and on your budget. Matt is also just a cool guy to be around, good conversations and loves coffee, so extremely easy to get along with. As non-natives to the Greater Seattle Area, we wanted someone who we could easily get along with and help us through every step of the way (first time home buyers here) including helping us learn more about different neighborhoods. Matt is a native to this wonderful area so he was able to give us great information about certain areas in which we were interested. Initially, we interviewed about 5-10 realtors and it was a clear decision to choose Matt. He hit all of our check boxes and then some, he has many connections with his family in the real estate business (though he never pressured us to use them), and is there to help you through and through. Couldn't have been happier with Matt Chapman, we have a house now! :) Sam & Jennifer read more

I wanted to take a minute to thank Matthew Chapman with the purchase on our new home on Mercer Island. Our family was born and raised in California, so moving out of state into a new community and finding a home was a big deal, not to mention we have a teenager. Matthew is very adept at working with families. We toured 2 high schools while we were there and he took us through various neighborhoods and explained what made them unique, as well as touring multiple homes. We still had our home in California and my husband had been traveling back and forth for work, sometimes he was able to tour the property and sometimes it was done virtually. Matthew kept us updated on new homes coming available, spent a lot of time with our family to understand our priorities and was very patient with us. He is fantastic about returning calls, answering questions and making himself available to you. I am very happy that we found our dream home on Mercer Island. I think because we took so long to find what we were looking for another agent might have given up on us, but Matthew did not, He was super patient, thorough and kind. We have bought several properties in California and we have never had such outstanding customer service. read more

Matt was referred to me by good friends whom he represented when selling their house. Their comments were that Matt made everything fairly seamless and I was not disappointed. I was on a very tight deadline and had a firm price in mind. Matt is a connector, he has all the people in place to take care of what needs to be done. From the quick pre inspection to staging to yard spruce up to making sure the photographer comes and works her magic when the the weather and light conditions are just right, he was on top of it . Matt was always available for questions and followed up after each step do I felt supported throughout the whole process. Would definitely recommend Matt Chapman when you are considering selling your home Debbie H. read more

Buying a home in this market may not be easy or stress-free, but with a partner like Matt we had a reliable partner we can trust to look out for our best interest. Matt patiently showed us many homes across many neighborhoods so that we could confidently narrowed down the places that we want to live in. When it was time to bid, Matt's market expertise really came through as he knew the exact $ that it would take to win the house and then it made it easy for us to whether that what we wanted to do. If you've done a lot of searching on Zillow or Redfin yourself, you'll really want to have a knowledgeable and professional agent like Matt to represent you and help you make important decisions. read more

I was a first time home buyer looking for the perfect home and Matt was super helpful and informative during the entire process answering all my questions on the strategy, finances, offer process, and applying for a loan. He was available at all times, even during the weekend and weeknights to discuss options and tour some potential homes I was interested in. He's patient, understanding and takes the time to understand your needs and sends weekly emails with potential home options and follows up on a regular basis. All in all, the level of professionalism and proficiency has exceeded my expectations, and I was able to seal the deal in a very tight closing time frame with our first offer, and I felt supported throughout the whole process. I couldn't ask for a better agent to work with. Thank you Matt! read more

We are so fortunate to have found Matt! He has the rare quality of being completely present with his clients even though he must be quite busy. Matt listened to our goals patiently and guided us through every step of the buying process with clarity and support. He even helped us discover new areas that we had not considered before. When it came to making an offer, I can say with confidence that we would not have our new home without Matt's deal-making prowess. This guy knows his stuff. Look no further. read more

This is my second time working with Matt and his team. This most recent experience involved moving out of state before putting my house on the market, which I learned quickly can be a little stressful. Matt was there every step of the way and provided great insight throughout the process. He went above and beyond to check in with me as well as going to my house before and after the sale to make sure it was a smooth transition for both parties. read more

Our experience with Matt Chapman was a pleasure from start to finish. Matt is a true professional with excellent communication and negotiation skills. His market knowledge paired with a comprehensive strategy was instrumental in our home sale. After closing, Matt donated a portion of his fee on our behalf to a local non profit. We are thrilled to have a small part in a special program that benefits the community. Matt is prompt, thorough and provided all of the resources needed to facilitate the sale of our home. I highly recommend Matt and his team! Thanks Matt! read more

First time homebuyers working with Matt in Summer 2022. Trying to purchase a first home during this time was full of uncertainty and had potential for high levels of stress. Matt allowed for us to view every home we wished to view and provided helpful info along every step of the way when making this important decision. He created an environment where his expertise came through to provide questions we didn't even know we had or needed to ask. Even now, almost a year into home ownership, Matt still provides little goodies in the mail as tokens of appreciation and ongoing care. read more

Matt somehow made what we expected to be a stressful, anxiety-filled first home buying experience (in a very hot real estate market, in the middle of a pandemic) as straightforward and smooth as these circumstances could possibly afford. We knew Matt from church, and my husband and I ultimately chose to work with him after interviewing two agents. While the other agent was also great, we appreciated Matt's organization, attention to detail, knowledge of the areas we were looking at, and the research and experience he brought to the process. Matt helped us create a process of looking at homes that worked for us and quickly set up a "practice run" house tour for us to get a sense of what to look for and what questions we'd want to ask. Before we went touring, he walked us through the buying process without being too overwhelming, but still very thorough. Long story short, after touring several homes, we ended up putting an offer on the first home we toured that day! Though we weren't planning to seriously look for a few more months, Matt worked quickly to help us come up with a competitive offer and we closed on the home shortly after. We appreciated that Matt took the time to discuss strategy and explain the advice he shared. When we wasn't available, he made sure to find someone on his team to step in for us. He always made it clear this was our decision and wanted to give us all the information and options for us to choose what was best for ourselves. What made working with Matt even more special were the many touch points and support he offered, from the beginning of the process to a few weeks after we moved in. We also loved supporting Choose 180 and their work through our home purchase. We highly, highly recommend partnering with Matt for anyone looking for a home, especially first-time home buyers! read more

Matt is a world changer driven by high integrity and authentic care for his clients. For those who like to do business over coffee and value relationship, Matt is the agent you need to work with. It's important to know that Matt has many strong relationships with local charities and shares his commissions with organizations he believes in. Buying a house with Matt makes the world a better place. read more

The last time I wrote a review, I raved about how Matt Chapman helped my family, and I purchase a home. Three years later, we were looking to sell our house. It took us about 1.2 seconds to decide that we wanted Matt Chapman to help us sell our home. The market had shifted to a slower state, and many homes were being sold below asking, so we wondered if his marketing expertise would yield positive results. I'm here to say that Matt Chapman hit a grand slam. We got a higher price than we wanted for the home! His attention to detail, connections with photographers and stagers, and his knowing EXACTLY what we needed to change and what not to. We followed his orders to a Tee! We got an incredible offer, and I could not be happier. And if that weren't enough... The first Social Real Estate Realtor in the greater Seattle area came through again. Not only did he give money on our behalf to two worthy non-profits in our community, but he gave us a book that had all the pictures of our home with the beautiful staging and a phenomenal story of a life that was changed through one of his partner non-profits. So now we have this incredible memory of the house we loved living in for three years. And if that weren't enough..... We were moving to Nashville and needed a Realtor. So Matt gets on the phone and makes a few calls, and finds us an incredible realtor who also helped us find our dream home in Nashville. I just can't conceive of a reason why you wouldn't choose this real estate agent to help you. He gives money to non-profits, does an incredible job with attentiveness to detail, has a warm personality, he's amazing with other realtors, and is just an all-around good guy! read more

Matt is exactly the type of person you want helping you with a such a major decision like buying a home. There are so many brokers in Seattle. My husband and I were new to the city and weren't sure who to pick. I must have reached out to 8 different ones. Matt came highly recommend by a coworker and now that we're on the other side of the process with our new home, I have recommended him to ALL of my friends looking for houses. I can't recommend him highly enough. I reached out to Matt pretty stressed out and overwhelmed by the whole house-buying process, not knowing what to expect. I could tell Matt was used to handling all sorts of situations and clients. He patiently educated both my husband and myself on the entire process in a way that was reassuring and comforting to us as first time buyers. Other things we loved about working with Matt: -Matt is so flexible and accommodating. My husband and I have crazy work schedules, and with how quickly the market moves in Seattle, seeing houses ASAP can make a difference. There were several times I saw a house go up for sale and Matt would make sure he was available to show it to us THAT DAY, sometimes within a few hours. -He made us feel like we had his undivided attention and that we were super important to him, even though he is in high demand and we didn't necessarily have the highest budget in town. We always felt like his most important clients - so important when you are making a big purchase! -He was honest with us, and would tell us when he saw issues with a house or didn't think it was the right fit. This meant a lot to us being new to the whole process. -He's organized and thorough. We never had to worry about meeting deadlines or having forms in on time. Matt was on top of it, and made sure all details of the process were clicking along smoothly. -He's a genuinely kind and caring guy with principles and integrity. He does the right thing and went to bat for us. We can't thank Matt enough! read more

Five stars! Matt worked with us in a very difficult market to land the house of our dreams. He was always responsive and helpful during our search, gave great advice and strategy during the offer stage, and followed through to closing. We highly recommend him! read more

Matt walked me through the process of buying my first home. He's patient, knowledgeable, accommodating, and an all around great guy. We had some great conversations while touring homes. With Matt's help, I was able to quickly get an offer on a great home submitted and accepted, despite a sudden deadline due to a competing offer. Matt predicted exactly how the seller and other buyer would behave, making sure I didn't overspend. Highly recommended. read more

Matt was such a helpful resource for my husband and me as we searched for (and found!) our first home during the busiest season of our lives. We both worked full-time and were expecting our second child when we made the offer on our first home, just four days before our daughter arrived. Matt and his team were fully committed to getting us through that home-buying process with minimal disruption to our family life, and continued to check in over the months following our big move. We highly recommend Matt Chapman for his knowledge, dedication, and commitment. Thanks, Matt! read more

We worked with Matt to purchase a condo in the wild real estate market of the summer of 2021. Matt met with us multiple times prior to scheduling showings to make sure we were investing time and energy in the right areas, and also guided our preparation for financing. We were so grateful to have a representative who was an expert in the area and an expert in how to navigate the market, particularly given the volatility when we purchased our home. Matt was always prepared, informed, and extremely responsive, particularly in the final hours of preparing and submitting the offer. We highly recommend Matt, and will most certainly work with him again, ourselves. read more

Matt is wonderful !! My wife Tabassum and I were looking for a home.We were a first time home buyer, and we had little information about the whole buying process when we met with Matt it didn't feel like we are meeting him first time. He took care of almost everything he was super proactive,and kept tabs on everything that was important, he is very honest, reliable,knowledgeable, and axcellent at what he does! He makes you feel like you are his only client ( but the fact is he is very busy and has a lot of clients) and take out of the time to speak with you, and guides you through the entire process Why we like working with Matt. * Matt was always available to us and would always promptly respond to emails/calls * He didn't push us in to homes nor did he push us away from homes instead he ask us how we felt about the home after each visit and let us come to our own decisions. * He didn't put any pressure on us to buy, and if we didn't like the homes we saw he would go back and find new ones that's one of the important thing we like about Matt. * Matt is not like one of those agents that want to get their customers to do a quick buy.He does take time and effort to see what his customers want. I highly recommend him and hope you have a same experience from Matt over all very friendly and great to work with. I hope we get to work with him again. Thanks. Hassan Babar read more

What can I say? Matt was an absolute miracle worker. As first time home buyers, we were apprehensive of the whole process, especially in Seattle's tough market. Matt's calm and cool demeanor made the process seem like a piece of cake (he's also just a really cool guy!). Three words that come to mind: efficient, advocate, and trustworthy. Matt was most certainly efficient: We went from an immediate viewing to accepted offer in less than 12 hours, and closed/moved in exactly 3 weeks. Matt was our advocate: If any bumps in the road popped up, we were informed immediately and he took our wishes into consideration before acting. We trusted Matt to help make strategic decisions on our behalf. Matt has the gift of "reading a room". He effectively strategized everything from negotiations to closing with all the players in mind. I have already recommended him to friends. All in all, Matt is the kind of guy you want in your corner when making a decision, like, say...buying or selling a house. read more
