★★★★★
"Matt was the perfect fit for our family! He helped us sell our condo quickly, with professionalism and class. Anytime we needed something, Matt was generous with his time. He certainly went above and beyond to make our sale smooth and seamless. I highly recommend Matt!" --Lisa B.

★★★★★
"My family and I are very thankful to Matt Merrill. Matt was truly instrumental in our one year journey to find a home. His promptness, knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, kindness, professionalism, and good energy made a potentially chaotic purchase process simple. Highly recommend Matt for your next purchase." --Socorro Dominguez

★★★★★
"Matt listed my condominium and it sold days later for full price, a price at which he encouraged me to list. Since I was still living there, he was very respectful when showing it and scheduling the open house. Matt is thorough and detail oriented, with excellent knowledge of the real estate market. I would use him again without any hesitation." -David H. Campbell

★★★★★
"Matt set me up with a Compass feed that presented both homes for sale and rental properties. He was quick to understand my requirements for a living space and tweaked the feed to focus on just what I wanted in a residence. Eventually, Matt found a rental that had most of what I wanted, and it turned out to be the perfect space for me and my Shih Tzu, Charlie! I picked a world class agency, with Matt as my point person to help me achieve my goal in moving back to California!" -Rob Elinson
