Matt Evey and John Hill Real Estate really came through for my family and me. In November, my father got sick and had to move to the state of Indiana to live with my sister permanently. With me living in California, I knew getting this house sold could be a nightmare, so I looked up the best-reviewed real estate company in the area and found John Hill Real Estate and Matt Evey. Matt walked us through the process step by step and helped us sell my father's house for a great price, in record time, and best of all, remotely. We're very grateful.

I have recommended Matt Evey to my neighbor and my brother/sister in law. Matt handled the sale of my neighbors brothers house after he passed suddenly. My neighbors had nothing but blessings for the way he handled the sale during a very stressful time for them. Matt just recently closed on my elderly brother/sister in laws home. Matt is so professional and knowledgeable in marketing and navigating issues that arise. Matt was able to sale the home quickly, awesome marketing, and for more than they were anticipating. If you need a realtor Matt, John Hill Real Estate, is one you want.

Matt Evey represented us in a sale of a rental property. We were extremely happy with the high level of service that he provided. We reside on the West Coast and his close attention to the transaction made the long distance sales process go very smoothly. He kept us up to date on every step of the sale. He was very responsive to any questions we had. We would highly recommend him for your real estate needs.

Matt Evey was exceptional in representing me. Since I live 250 miles away it was nearly impossible for me to be in Altoona to participate in the sale of the family home. Matt was conscientious, informative and on call whenever I had a concern or question . Clearly, Matt is a person who would represent you with expertise , professionalism and candor. I wholeheartedly recommend Matt Evey.
