- Highly likely to recommend

Bought a home in 2010.

Summary:

Matt helped me find a foreclosure unit in one of the best buildings in the Gold Coast in early 2010. I work for a private equity firm that specializes in commercial real estate so I am very familiar with the industry. That being said, Matt brought a level of expertise and sophistication that was truly instrumental in finding such a great deal. He found the unit days before it hit the market and encouraged me to bid the morning it was listed. We tied it up and closed at a number that was a 30% reduction to what it traded for in 2007 in a building where units have held their value during the downturn. Matt will be my agent not only on the buy side but on the sale side too as long as he is in the business.More Less

- Highly likely to recommend

Sold a Condo home in 2010 for approximately $375k in Lake View, Chicago, IL.

Summary:

As a financial planner for the past ten years serving affluent and successful professionals, Matt has served as a tremendous resource to my clients. He has advised my clients in making good decisions when they have real estate needs, especially in the past few years in this challenging market. Matt and his team are all great to work with and most importantly, they have helped my clients feel comforatable with their real estate decisions. Ryan AnthonyMore Less

- Highly likely to recommend

Bought a home in 2006.

Summary:

I have bought and sold my personal residences with Matt since 2005 and he has exceeded my expectations each and every time. Matt has an intimate knowledge of Chicago's neighborhoods and I am very impressed by the details he knows about every building in which condo units are located. I have also bought a few investment properties and hired Matt to represent me on those properties and I strongly recommend Matt for that type of work as well.More Less
