    I recently had the pleasure of working with Matt as my home selling agent, and it was the second time since he became my home buying agent for the same property. I can't say enough good things about the experience. From start to finish, Matt demonstrated his expertise, dedication, and commitment to helping me achieve the best possible outcome. First and foremost, Matt's accuracy in estimating the value of my property was nothing short of impressive. He priced it wisely and precisely, which not only attracted potential buyers but also ensured that I received a fair market value for my home. His in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market truly shone through in this aspect. What truly sets Matt apart is his exceptional level of responsiveness. He was always just a phone call or text message away, ready to answer any questions or address any concerns I had. Matt's commitment to keeping me informed throughout the selling process gave me peace of mind and confidence in his abilities. But Matt went above and beyond in more ways than one. His dedication to getting my property ready for listing, from staging advice to professional photography, was instrumental in making my home stand out in the market. His attention to detail and willingness to put in the extra effort made all the difference. Beyond the professional aspects of our relationship, Matt has become a true friend. His genuine, caring nature and willingness to go the extra mile made the home selling process not just successful but enjoyable. I always felt like he had my best interests at heart.

    Being new to the area Matt was referred to us by one of my new colleagues and I'm so glad we had a chance to work with him. Matt is an exceptional agent and I would give him my highest recommendation. He got to know us as a couple, our needs verses wants, our must-haves verses our like-to-haves and made great city/neighborhood recommendations based on our budget, social life and interests. He was engaging, never made us feel rushed, answered all of our questions and continuously followed up with us during the entire process. If you are in the market for an agent ... look no further.

    I highly recommend Matt! I feel like agents or brokers can be very intimidating, but I never felt judged or rushed by Matt, despite my inexperience. He really wants you to be happy and it is very refreshing. His wealth of knowledge in the market is also impressive!

    With Matt Rabb as your realtor, youre on your way to boosting serotonin and living a healthier stress free life. Seriously. He got my house leased in January at the most unlikely time. In each step of the process from arranging beautiful photos to lease details I wouldnt have thought about, Matt had my interests forefront. Hes creative, pragmatic, communicative; returning calls immediately. I trust his opinion and instincts. Hes smart, experienced, cheerful and a pleasure to engage with. Thank you Matt!

    I can?t say enough about the great service we got from Matt. He helped us purchase 2 homes recently. He was so efficient and always had answers for our questions. He was very knowledgeable about the area. He always followed through and had everything done quickly and accurately. He was always available ( even when he was on vacation ) to take our calls and promptly answered texts. We were so impressed with his service, he always had our best interests in mind. We will always use him for our real estate needs and highly recommend him.
