ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I have lived in Upstate New York for the past 45 years. For many years we visited family in Lynchburg. About 8 months ago we decided to move to the area to be near our son and grandchildren. During the search process, we came to understand our 'must have's' and 'nice to have's'. Matt was diligent, patient and persistent in helping us find and eventually purchase a home which is perfect for our lifestyle, taste, and retirement years. During times when Matt was out of town, his partner provided seamless coverage and served us well. Matt and the team at Pinnacle Real Estate helped make the closing process painless and efficient.
ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I recently used Matt Durand as our realtor based on a recommendation from a coworker and could not have been happier. Matt asked a lot of questions learning what we needed and targeted the search to maximize our time and find a great house. Matt is intimately familiar with the area and the market and when we asked questions he either knew the answer or got the answer quickly. He was as easy going as anyone could be and we were never rushed or pushed into something that wouldnt work. Ultimately he found the perfect home for us. After we committed, he expertly navigated us through the local nuances of the purchase. Matt always made himself available no matter when we reached out. He did a fantastic job for us and we cant recommend him highly enough.
ZillowVERIFIEDI used Matt to sell my parents home after a good friend in the industry referred me to him. Matt was very responsive and attentive to all of my questions and details involving the home and process. Matt and his team made the process and transaction very easy. I highly recommend Matt Durand for any real estate need.
ZillowVERIFIEDWhen I found out that I would be relocating to the area from out of state, several colleagues recommended Matt. From day one, Matt listened to my "wish list" and started helping me narrow down areas of the city that would best suit our family. As the time to move drew closer, he started sending me homes that matched our wish list. I arrived in Lynchburg with two days to find a house. Because Matt was so in tune with what I was looking for, we found our house within 4 hours on the first day. The closing was quick and smooth as well. Throughout the entire experience, I felt like I was working with a friend.
ZillowVERIFIEDMatt is sensational! Simply put. He was patient with our home search, always alerted us with homes that met our specific needs, and worked fast to get us into showings. When purchasing our new home, the offer process is critical. He walked us through everything step by step and made everything stress free. We are forever thankful for him and finding our forever home.
ZillowVERIFIEDMatt was recommended by Dennis Dawson and was the only person I considered as my agent. I am so happy with Matt and the team at Pinnacle Real Estate Team.Starting with the professional photos(those drone images - wow), the diligence determining the fair market value all the way through to the sale of the property - Matt has been hands on and available to me. The transactions have all been done on line with the help of Hannah Vernon and others in the office. Working through the documentation required has been a breeze. Everyone has been courteous and respectful. We all think our circumstances are special, and I'm no different. I had left the house in the hands of a contractor for renovations and walked away. Matt helped to arrange for a person (Kyle Bryant) to come in and remove unwanted furniture, clean out the cabinets and do a spruce up of the floors when done. When the buyer's agent requested additional information, it was Matt that drove to the house each time - which was about a 40 mile round trip. I highly recommend Matt Durand and the entire Pinnacle Real Estate Team.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe couldn't have chosen a better realtor than Matt! He has helped us both find a house we loved, and then help us sell it several years later. When we were moving to the Lynchburg area in 2016, we were doing so from several states away. He not only orchestrated marathon-length days of house showings around our travel schedule, but he managed to hit a deer and keep on showing us houses like nothing was amiss! (Don't worry, he and the deer were both fine.) Once we found and bought the house we loved, he stayed in touch with us. When we needed to move again, we knew Matt was our guy. This year (2022), we had a seamless selling process, and he even connected us with another fantastic realtor in our new town. Call him. You'll be glad you did!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe moved from outside the state and didn't know much about this area. We had some basic needs for our new home and utilized online listing sites as a reference which was helpful to narrow our search. In the end though, Matt's local knowledge and experience were most helpful in finding the home we were looking for. Matt was always responsive and helpful and helped us close and move into our new home with no delays. We'd certainly recommend Matt to help find the right home.
ZillowVERIFIEDI could not have asked for a better realtor than Matt Durand. He has a low-key demeanor but don't let that fool you. Matt works tirelessly to help you sell your home or find the home of your dreams. Matt makes the process seamless. All questions were answered immediately. My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend Matt Durand for all of your realtor needs.
ZillowVERIFIEDIn an extremely intimidating market as first time homebuyers, we were able to feel optimistic with Matt as our agent. While we were at a viewing, a seemingly perfect listing was posted and he made calls on the fly. He got us over there, efficiently put the paperwork together and got an acceptance in hours! Such a friendly, professional, responsive, genuine guy that listened, guided well and made the whole process less daunting!
ZillowVERIFIEDThe sale of the house was involved in litigation as the process was handled by the executor with many complications. Mr. Durand and his office manager, Hannah, were very responsive through all of our inquiries and concerns. His professionalism in handling our sale was enhanced by his extensive knowledge of the local real estate market.
ZillowVERIFIEDMatt and his team were fantastic to work with. Incredibly knowledgeable, but not overbearing. He was with me every step of the way, and his communication with me was great. I never felt like I wasnt a priority. If you selling or buying, go with Matt and his team, you wont be disappointed!
ZillowVERIFIEDMatt Durand is the best real estate agent we have ever worked with. His integrity and knowledge were excellent. He made us feel like family and took the time to find out exactly what we were looking for in a new home. He responded quickly to all questions we had concerning the area and the housing market. We highly recommend Matt if you want the best real estate agent in the area. Thankyou Matt!!!!! Skip and Susan Wolford

He was easy to get in touch with and readily available to answer any and all questions I had throughout the process. The overall home buying process was no-nonsense and straight forward - great for a first-time home buyer! Highly recommended and would definitely use again.
ZillowVERIFIEDIt was an absolute joy working with Matt and his team. Matt was so patient throughout the process of finding a house that was within my criteria and budget. He took extra time explaining to me all the real estate lingo, which can be daunting as a first time home buyer. He is also a fantastic communicator. He always made sure I was in the loop of any conversation had between him and the sellers and him and the mortgage broker. He never made me feel pressured in making a decision, yet provided to my all my possible options to any problems along the way. Matt's team was also very timely on communication and sending any information needed along the way. I just can't brag on him and his team enough. There is a lot of emotions and stress that comes to purchasing a home, and having an A-list team behind you will definitely make a difference. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone, especially someone that is purchasing their first home.
ZillowVERIFIEDMatt is FANTASTIC! He helped us purchase our first home in 2016 while in the middle of us planning our wedding. He listened to each of us for what we both wanted in a home and did his best to meet those needs and he exceeded them. He was great to work with and we look forward to working with him more in the future!

ZillowVERIFIEDMatt Durand and his associates have done an exceptional job of finding the house we were looking for and guiding us through the whole process. My questions were always answered promptly and thoroughly. It is rare that I find a contractor of any kind that I can fully respect and actually become friends with. If I were to buy again, I wouldn't hesitate to utilize his expertise.
ZillowVERIFIED"We are so happy that we made the decision to use Matt Durand as our Realtor. From Day 1 we were impressed with his approach, his attention to detail, his desire for us to be taken care of, and many extra touches that made us feel important and appreciated as his clients. Throughout the process of selling our old home and buying a new one, Matt helped us to keep our focus where it should be and his actions gave us complete confidence that he was taking care of all the details and staying on top of things. Not only is he an easy person to work with, but character and integrity are evident, too- and we appreciate that." Kari
ZillowVERIFIEDAs a Real estate investor, I enjoy working with Matt Durand because he is also an investor and has an understanding of our unique situations. He has gone over and above when showing properties that have current tenants. Matt has represented us on multiple sales and I am happy to recommend him to any Real Estate investor that is looking to buy or sell.
ZillowVERIFIEDWhen you are buying or selling a home, trust and integrity are absolutely key factors in choosing the right real estate agent. And trust and integrity are certainly the two words we would use to describe Matt Durand with whom weve had the pleasure of working on both ends of the home buying/selling process.

ZillowVERIFIEDMatt was simply tremendous. At no point did we feel pressured. Matt was wonderful at asking good questions to help us better understand just what we were looking for in a home. His guidance also helped us to avoid some mistakes we would have regretted down the road. Since buying with Matt I have recommended him to each and every friend that is either buying or selling in the Lynchburg area. Many have gone with Matt and I have not had one report anything but complete satisfaction! Matt is and will continue to be our first go to when it comes to real estate needs.
ZillowVERIFIEDMatt was our realtor when we relocated to Lynchburg from eastern North Carolina. Our home there was still on the market, but Matt showed us a number of homes that were in our price range. Before our home in NC sold, we found a home on Zillow and Matt quickly got us a showing and helped us write up an offer. Matt is professional, knowledgeable and very friendly! We highly recommend him and his team for all your real estate needs!
ZillowVERIFIEDMatt not only helped me value the home I was purchasing, he helped lead me through the process of realizing what home was best for our unique family. He helped me negotiate in a way that was fair to both me and the seller. I would work with Matt again in a heartbeat.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe have used Matt for a couple of house purchases and sales and he has always been a pleasure to work with. He is kind and patient and professional. Our last purchase and sale was fraught with difficulty and he maintained his poise even when faced with unprecedented difficulties.We would definitely highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy and/or sell a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDMatt was recommended to us by a friend who also relocated to Lynchburg a few years ago. He was able to accommodate our tight schedule due to moving from another state and needing to see multiple homes in a condensed timeframe. He is very knowledgeable about the local real estate market and all that the area has to offer. We were very happy with the service that we received and recommend him to others.
ZillowVERIFIEDMatt was recommended to us from someone local when we were relocating from Texas to Virginia. The day we met with Matt he was well prepared to show us properties that fit our criteria. We were able to find the property we wanted on the first day. Matt helped us craft a good offer that was accepted right off. He also helped follow up with the seller to make sure that everything closed smoothly and was ready for us when time came for the move. He and his assistant Hannah have always been prompt to respond to questions and concerns throughout the process.
