ZillowVERIFIEDThank you so much Mathew for your incredible help in selling our home of 40 years. Saying goodbye to a house with so many memories was deeply emotional for our family. Your deep knowledge of the market and helpful guidance kept us confident at every step. Please also extend our sincere thanks to Stephanie and your entire team. Their behind-the-scenes support and coordination made the entire process completely seamless. You all run a phenomenal operation. We are so grateful for your collective expertise and will highly recommend your services to everyone we know. Warmest Regards!

ZillowVERIFIED Matt is THE point of contact for finding the right property on the Coastside. He has deep knowledge of every nook and cranny of every town on the Coastside and knows the ins and outs of all the properties you may encounter in this region. In addition, Matt is great at reading people and understanding what it is that they are looking for. He is the very knowledgeable and was great at guiding my wife and I through the process of buying our first house!

ZillowVERIFIED If youre in the market for buying or selling a home, Haley and The Haugen group with Element Reality in Half Moon Bay are hands down the best people to work with! She is very informative and knowledgeable of market trends, and will guide you through the buying/selling process seamlessly. She answered all my questions and went above and beyond to showcase homes in my desired area. I would highly recommend Haley and her team for your next home buying or selling needs.

ZillowVERIFIED Matt Haugen and his team gave us exceptional service with the purchase of one home and immediate sale of another. From start to finish they provided great advice, planning, and execution. One valuable bonus that we couldnt have anticipated was Matts access to an amazing contractor, whose crew was both fast and high quality. Our transactions moved quickly and smoothly, and we couldnt be happier. Thank you, Matt, Melanie, and Haley!

ZillowVERIFIED The Haugen group came recommended by a friend when we started our search for a home between Pacifica down to El Granada. When we called to start our home search, the founder Matt Haugen spent several calls with us walking us through the process, definitions, and mortgage calculations as we are first time home buyers.Matt then connected us with Amy Fox who became our realtor and we were so happy he did. Amy took the time to get to know us and was diligent about sending us properties that she felt would be a good fit to meet our needs and our budget. She was quick to set up appointments to view properties and accommodate our busy work schedules, primarily meeting us in the evenings and on weekends.Amy wrote offers for us before we finally closed on our dream home in our preferred location. On one occasion she was even out of town but continued to meet our needs, connecting us with her colleagues for viewings and even completing one offer on her travels.In a market where homes are at a premium and it is common to have up to 10+ offers on the table, Amy put us at ease and eventually with determination and patience, we went into contract and purchased our first home. I would gladly recommend Amy to future buyers; her knowledge and expertise of the market and the coastal Bay Area will not disappoint!

ZillowVERIFIED We cant begin to express how pleased we were choosing Element Real Estate for our recent listing. Matt & Melanie Haugen along with the Element team were a delight to work with throughout the entire process. Having been raised in Half Moon Bay, Matts knowledge of the local market was essential and the fact that they are an independent brokerage helped us make smart decisions in a timely fashion. Element is adept at leveraging technology throughout the entire process to maximize exposure, attract more potential buyers and streamline the process. In todays market once the aEURoefor saleaEUR? sign goes up it all happens very fast. Matt and Melanie were so responsive and never left us waiting for an answer to our many questions. From coaching us on pre-listing strategies to make certain our house was looking its best to negotiating a multi-bidder sale their service was consistently friendly and professional. Sellers have a lot of eager and well qualified brokers to choose from in Half Moon Bay so it was a careful decision to trust our listing with Element. We could not have been happier with the outcome and encourage anyone buying or selling a home to consider their services.

I would highly recommend working with Mathew if you are buying or selling a home in this area.

ZillowVERIFIED I got lucky that Zillow automatically paired me with Mathew Haugen! He and his team (Melanie) were so great to work with. Both were extremely responsive, accurate, supportive, and educational throughout the process of buying our first home. Matt made it feel as relaxing as it could have been and we always felt like we were in the best hands.

ZillowVERIFIED Matt Haugen is the best! I did not have high expectations when Zillow offered to match us with a realtor but Matt is exceedingly good at his job. He is honest, transparent, extremely hard working, super smart, kind, and he really took care of us and our interests throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Matt and his team!

ZillowVERIFIED I had the pleasure to work with Mathew Haugen during the buying and selling of my home in Livermore. As a first time buyer, I was apprehensive and a bit scared as I felt I did not have enough knowledge to make all the decisions necessary. Matt put me at ease, walked me through every step of the process, explained things in terms I could easily understand and summarized the important aspects of the pages and pages of legal documents required during the buying and selling stages. He was always available and willing to answer my numerous questions and advised me as to what steps to take. All along I felt Matt was working for me and with me and had my best interest in the forefront. Thank you so much to Matt and his group for making this a great and painless experience.

ZillowVERIFIED Mathew and team were amazing resources for us when we moved out coast side. He spent a year working with us to find the home of our dreams. Every time we visited the coast (even recreationally), Mat was ready with pages-long recommendation texts of best beaches, tide pools, surf spots, hikes, and family-friendly restaurants! He knows every square inch of the coast and is an absolute honest broker in every engagement we've had with him. We always felt he had our family's best interests at heart, and worked extremely hard to help us land in a perfect neighborhood and community coast side!

Review for Member: Mathew Haugen
ZillowVERIFIED Mat and team were awesome to work with throughout this process. We engaged his advice on renovation / prep work from a ROI / Market fit perspective, and had an ongoing dialogue throughout the list / sell process. What impressed me most was Mat's authenticity and honesty - he was very clear and direct in communicating what he knew vs. what he assumed, and was honest in representing what was advice and perspective. Really valuable to have that type of honest and direct input to a very subjective process.

Review for Member: Mathew Haugen
ZillowVERIFIED Matt Haugen represented us for both the selling of our first home in unincorporated Woodside and buying our second home in Half Moon Bay. Not only is he incredibly professional and knowledgable about all things real estate, he is a warm, discerning, and positive presence throughout the experience. We especially value his background of growing up locally and desire to give back to his community. It's not often you find a realtor with these personable qualities combined with his marketing and negotiating skills.

ZillowVERIFIED We are very happy with our home purchase and very appreciative of the work and guidance that Mathew and Melanie gave us. They deserve the stellar 5 star reviews on all counts. It has been a pleasure having them on our side. Mathew is a true professional: super knowledgeable about the area and real estate trends. He not only has your back in price negotiations but is also very calming. I am so grateful that Mathew helped keep my anxiety in check by giving me realistic and honest facts. Melanie, his wife and director of operations, is also a joy to work with and is flawlessly responsive to e-mails and questions and assures that everything runs smoothly. It is not just their knowledge and how quickly they respond but also the positive energy that they both have that made this an actual joyful process.

ZillowVERIFIED Matt Haugen is a true professional. He has recently listed and sold homes for a couple of my friends and I was extremely impressed with how quickly and smooth the transactions went. His marketing skills are spot on and he has first hand understanding of all of the Coastside neighborhoods, schools and community. We are looking to Matt for help with finding good homes to buy for our adult children so they and raise their families in the same community that they grew up in. I highly recommend Matt Haugen!

ZillowVERIFIED If you want a knowledgeable, patient, and trustworthy professional, Mathew is your guy. Working alongside him has been the most insightful and easy experience I've ever had. It's very apparent that he loves working with people and is passionate about real estate. You would be a fool not to love him! I also now follow his instagram account and love watching his informative videos. His best interest is clearly in his clients and he truly makes the home buying process quite enjoyable.

ZillowVERIFIED Nobody knows the Coastside and surrounding areas better than Mathew. His deep knowledge of all things real estate combined with his background in marketing makes his expertise invaluable. He and his team were top notch throughout what was made a smooth and swift process. He served as our advocate, working diligently to make our home purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Mathew was that he was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs than he was on closing a deal. We would recommend him to anyone and EVERYONE!
