ZillowVERIFIEDA True Partner in Selling Our Home. Selling a home can be stressful, but Matthew made the entire process feel manageable from start to finish. His communication was exceptional. He kept us informed every step of the way, responded quickly to our questions, and was always honest and transparent. Matthew worked tirelessly to get our home in front of potential buyers and never stopped advocating for us. During negotiations, he fought for our best interests while providing thoughtful, strategic guidance. He also helped us identify the features that would make our home stand out and gave us practical advice on how to showcase them to buyers. Most importantly, we always felt like Matthew genuinely cared about getting us the best possible outcome, not just closing a sale. His professionalism, market knowledge, and dedication exceeded our expectations. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Moving to a new state is stressful enough, but doing it with a toddler made buying a house feel especially overwhelming. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor to guide us through the process. From day one, Matthew made everything feel so much easier. He was incredibly responsive, always quick to answer our questions, and kept us informed every step of the way. He also went above and beyond by sending reminders for important deadlines and tasks on our end, which was invaluable during such a busy time. Even after we found our home, he continued to be an amazing resource by recommending trusted local professionals to help us get settled and set up our new house. His knowledge, organization, and genuine care made what could have been a very stressful experience feel manageable. We are so grateful for all of his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a homeaEUR"especially if you're navigating a long-distance move. He truly made all the difference!

ZillowVERIFIED Working with our realtor Matthew Bastian was an absolute pleasure! Matthew is very knowledgeable, caring and has a great work ethic. Matthews ability to negotiate effectively exceeded our expectations. He is super responsive and easy to reach. There was no waiting around for callbacks, texts or emails. Every step of the way we were kept in the loop. Matthew also has connections to many people that you may need after the sale like lawn service, contractors, etc. I will be referring Matthew to any family and friends who need a realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED Matt is an exceptional realtor, and, from the get-go, took an active interest in helping my wife and I find the right house for us. He always offered good advice but never tried to steer us in any particular direction, which we really appreciated! When it came time to sell our house, Matt was very hands-on and helpful in advising us on how to prep the house, price it, and make sure our listing stood out. He did a wonderful job of marketing our property to his colleagues, and in securing an excellent offer within 3 weeks of listing. Matt is an efficient operator and a very clear communicator. If you want someone who will help you buy/sell a home with a minimum of fuss and maximum ease, Matt is who I would recommend.

He was frequently quick to get showings set up, and I felt like he was always available when I had questions around homes I was looking at. He always kept me best interests in mind and helped guide me towards homes that fit with my budget and goals. He also helped me navigate some unique difficulties with my purchase with patience and expertise. Overall, I had a fantastic experience, and I cannot recommend Matthew enough as an agent who will always keep your best interests in mind throughout the entire process to help you find the best deal.

ZillowVERIFIED We have had a such a great experience working with Matthew on our recent home purchase! He is extremely knowledgeable about the current market and went out of his way to give us lots helpful information. But more importantly he was genuinely interested in understanding what we were looking for in a home and helping us find the right fit for our growing family. When we finally did find that perfect home we found ourselves competing with multiple other offers. Without Matthews experience and advice I truly dont think we would have gotten our dream home! Cant recommend him enough!

ZillowVERIFIED Matthew was absolutely amazing from start to finish! We sat down with him and explained our needs and wants in selling our home. He actively listened, immediately took action, and fulfilled all expectations. He was able to pivot and advance when coming across blocks in the process. We have worked with several realtors over the years and Matthew is by far the best we've had the pleasure of working with. Hands down recommend him to handle your real estate selling/buying needs!!

Review for Member: Matthew Bastian
ZillowVERIFIED Matthew is a great listener and worked hard to understand what we were looking for. Allowing us to look at stuff that he knew didnt fit the bill. So not a pressure salesman. Honestly he knew very quickly, when he showed us the house we eventually purchased that it was right for us. Before we knew it. And it wasnt the most expensive.

Review for Member: Matthew Bastian
ZillowVERIFIED We enjoyed working with Matt, he has a calm, easy going yet professional personality. Matt was very flexible with his time and showed us many homes; he knew a good home when he saw one and when he saw concerns he brought those to our attention which helped us to make informed decisions. He is an excellent communicator, always keeping us informed and his response time was usually within minutes. He knew the market well, he understood our wants and needs and guided us appropriately. We had a difficult situation with the builder and Matthew helped in resolving problems and got us to a timely closing. He gave a personal touch to our experience, we appreciate all he did and would definitely recommend him to family and friends.

Review for Member: Matthew Bastian
ZillowVERIFIED As first-time home buyers, we were incredibly excited but also a bit overwhelmed, with very little knowledge about the housing market. From the moment we met Matthew, we knew we were in good hands. He never rushed or pushed us into making a decision. Instead, he took the time to truly listen to our needs and preferences, and sent us a carefully filtered list of homes that matched our criteria and budget. Matthew toured multiple homes with us and what stood out the most was his honesty and transparency. He didn't just highlight the positives, he also pointed out potential drawbacks in certain homes, which we really appreciated. It made us feel like he genuinely cared about finding the right home for us, not just making a sale. His communication was exceptional. Whether through email or phone, he was always available and responsive. His support during negotiations and coordination with the builder was instrumental in helping us get our contract signed within a week! He made the entire process so much smoother and less stressful than we ever imagined.

Review for Member: Matthew Bastian
ZillowVERIFIED My house hunting journey with Matt began after calling to set up a visit on a property. We arrived at the agreed upon time. However, upon walking in I knew this property was not for me. Matt listened to my concerns about the property. From that point forward he accessed my needs quite quickly found homes we could visit. He also was agreeable to me sending him homes I was finding on Zillow.. He was already familiar with the neighborhoods where homes were located so hed let me know what the area was like around the house. This was beneficial since I was not living in the area and only visiting for a house hunting trip. My home hunting trip was efficient & through.. Matt is also efficient in getting documents to you to be signed. Communication is key to a successful deal and Matt is exceptional. He is a family man who values family so he would speak up about a particular game he was scheduled to attend. You will be happy with your house buy experience with Matt!!

ZillowVERIFIED Matt has been a fantastic help as a buyer's agent. As a first time homebuyer, a lot of the process has been new to me, and Matt has been incredibly upfront and honest about everything - from negotiating on the house price, to getting the inspection done. He's a guy who's wants what's best for you, seemingly never in it for anything other than customer satisfaction. If you want an agent who will fight tooth and nail for what you're looking for in a home, I couldn't think of anyone better than Matt.

ZillowVERIFIED As first time home buyers, Matthew guided us in the right direction. In addition to his immense knowledge and understanding of NWA's market, his communication skills, professionalism, punctuality and responsiveness was second to none. During our initial conversations, he was easily able to understand what we were seeking for and most importantly what we could afford. In a very competitive market, he went above and beyond to ensure that we found our perfect home and made the closing as smooth as possible. He provided us assistance in each and every step of the process; from pairing us with a great mortgage lender to recommending an excellent home inspector. We highly recommend Matthew to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a real estate property.
