Mathew J. Arruda

★★★★★
"I used The Mathew J. Arruda Group to list a house in New Bedford and had an excellent experience. From the first phone call through the end of the sale, Mathew and his team were the highest level of professional. He set very transparent expectations right from the beginning. The team demonstrated a very thorough market analysis and plan of how to best present the property. Through numerous videos and incredible photographs, the property was definitely set apart from other listings. After the house was on the market, Mathew and his team kept extremely good communication by providing feedback from each showing and open house. When presented with offers, his experience was very helpful to make a confident decision. Once under agreement, he and his team performed a seamless transaction, which took the stress off of the sale. I would highly recommend the Mathew J Arruda group." -Michael B.

"Mathew Arruda was purely professional in all stages of the sale of our commercial building. He was very responsive, an excellent communicator, fully competent, and was extremely patient with our many questions. Commercial building sales can be very different from personal home sales and Mathew was extremely patient and walked us through each and every step of the process. Even in the face of a difficult economy, Mathew stayed soundly focused from start to end! His knowledge of local market trends allowed him to get us a great deal while ensuring that both parties felt like they had a fair outcome. I would highly recommend Mathew Arruda as he is trustworthy, reliable, and he met every single requirement we were looking for with the sale of our building" - Jackie L. 11/2023

"Working with Mat and his team was an exceptional experience. We attempted to sell during this crazy market 6 months earlier with another Realtor, where our experience was horrible. From start to finish he made the process easy and achieved beyond our objective. Plus he and his team are fun to work with! Hands down the best. If you are looking and want a great experience, look no further." - 10/2021

"Mat and his team made selling and buying our home easy. We were hesitant if we can even push our plan of selling and moving to another town at this time of pandemic. But Mat made it all possible, he found a perfect home for us in less than 3 weeks and a buyer for our home a week after. We can say that Mat is the best real estate agent we have ever dealt with. Very professional, thorough and was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process. He really cared about our family and attentive to our needs. We are very happy with our new home. So grateful we found him and we highly recommend his team!" - 10/2021

"Mathew Arruda is hands down the best real estate agent and broker in the greater South Coast Massachusetts area. He was fantastic when helping my wife and I with the purchase of our first home. Specifically, he educated us about the process and showed us a property that we loved in the first couple weeks of working with him. Honestly, there is nothing that I can say about him other than great things. He negotiated a fantastic price for us and went above and beyond in terms of his service. So far, I have recommended him to all of my friends and family to work with. I look forward to working with him again when we purchase our second property. Thank you very much Mathew, you made our dreams come true!" - 09/2021

"There are not enough words to describe how excellent our experience was with Mat! He is the picture of professionalism, expertise, and knowledge. As this was my boyfriend and I's first home-buying experience, Mat always took the time to answer our many questions with patience and ease. We felt that Mat had our best interest at the forefront of our home-buying process. We could not have asked for a better realtor to guide us through our first experience, and we are so thrilled that he helped us find such a perfect home that suits us so well. We couldn't recommend Mat enough and we know he will be the first person we call for future home-buying endeavors." - 08/2020

"I like to wait and see how I feel before I leave a review. We worked with Mat and have been in our new home for 4 months. I use the word HOME because that is just what Mat helped us find. Every aspect of our time together was amazing from start to finish. Mat served as our agent, friend, project manager, and therapist throughout the entire process of selling a house and finding the home we will raise our daughter in. He was willing to show us houses he knew we wouldn’t like just to learn our needs in order to better find our dream home. His brute honesty is a breath of fresh air and his sense of humor makes it easy to get through a very stressful time. There are many real estate agents but not many true real estate professionals like Mat Arruda. His passion for what he does did not go unnoticed by us and I would recommend him to everyone. There is no doubt that he is the best at what he does and if you want to the best experience, you will work with Mat." - 09/2017

"I have had the pleasure of working with Mat (and now Melissa) through the process of my parents house and now through the buying process of my own house. It was so easy. Mat and Melissa are very kind, and caring people. We sat down to have a meeting to discuss location, price ranges, and amenities that were pros and cons. We added houses through the COMPASS app, where all parties could see what we liked and didn’t like. We looked at a bunch of houses together, and it only took a weekend to find our dream home. Mat came with us to inspection, and final walk-through to help us get a full perspective of what it means to be a homeowner. Melissa sat with us through the entire closing day process. Couldn’t be more thankful to have the pleasure of working with them." - Jordan M.

"Mat Arruda is absolutely the best! I can't say enough about Mat and his fabulous team. He sold my house within days after taking the listing. He was always on time, scheduled all inspections and kept me fully informed along the way. Very professional and a pleasure to work with. If you need a realtor, he's the man. A+, #1" - Brenda D.

"My family recently sold a multi-unit house that has been in our family for over 80 years. This is the third property in three years that Mat Arruda has sold for us. Like the first two sales, Mat consistently demonstrated the attributes he is known for – exceptionally knowledgeable, well connected and respected throughout the community, responsive, approachable, trustworthy, diplomatic, detail oriented, and determined.
One of the things different about this sale was that the house needed some minor and major work before putting it on the market. What I valued was Mat’s ability to differentiate and articulate to my family what upgrades and repairs were worth doing and not doing. I also appreciated his recommendations for an electrician, a painter/contractor, and landscaper – all of whom fit us into their schedule and did high-quality work at competitive prices.
We received multiple offers that were above the asking price, and the majority of the offers waived the inspection. While some of this has to do with the shortage of inventory, I believe that Mat’s wealth of residential and commercial real estate knowledge and experience – particularly in the SouthCoast – is another factor in the results that exceeded my family’s expectations. I highly recommend Mat.1" - Jayne K.

"I have worked with Mat two times now selling properties. He listens to you and develops a plan with you that’s tailored to your unique situation. More importantly, in addition to the interactive piece, is how his team comes together to help you to prep the home for its sale. In a lot of ways the properties that I listed with him required a lot of attention ahead of the sale. Mat has a lot of contacts and this helps out tremendously. The communication with Mat and his team was exceptional. Both properties sold with a week!" - David L.

★★★★★
"If you're looking for an advocate, visionary, collaborator, communicator, brainstormer, and expert who is pre-emptive, responsive, creative, patient, solution-focused and relentlessly hardworking, Mat Arruda is your person. The number of hurdles Mat overcame, the barriers he removed, and the relationships he attentively sustained in order to successfully sell and purchase multiple buildings is mindblowing. We are forever grateful to have had Mat navigating the helm of a complicated, multi-year journey." - Kristin B.

"We recently sold our condominium in Dartmouth, MA. Mat and his team made the selling process clear, smooth, and easy. They took attractive professional pictures, promoted the home on social media, and then scheduled the showings within a few days of each other. They found the perfect buyer that met all of our needs. Everything went well from start to finish! Mat always listened closely and provided gentle guidance without telling us what to do. We really valued his expertise, communication skills and honesty. We highly recommend Mat and his team." -Susan A.

★★★★★
"Mat is an incredible realtor! As a first-time homebuyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better guide on the journey to homeownership. Mat led us through the entire process seamlessly from promptly answering all my questions to helping us navigate the many challenges that come with buying a home. His patience, diligence, and dedication truly stood out. This is my first home, and when it’s time for the second, I’ll absolutely be working with Mat again. Thank you, Mat, and thanks to your entire team for all your help! " -Nathaniel B.

In under a week, the home was sold at our desired price. We highly recommend the Mathew Arruda Group to anyone looking to buy or sell across the South Coast." -Terry W.
