Yes it is still the sellers market. And its not easy to have an offer accepted. Add to that the humongous documents to read and understand as a new buyer and itll soon feel like ages since you had a good nights sleep! Thats when agents like Matthew Minic come to the rescue. It was roughly a 3 months journey that took us to becoming first time home owners. Right from the beginning, Matt helped me understand the process, the dynamics of the real estate, and where to begin with. Thanks to his knowledge and expertise in the field, I never felt like being overwhelmed. Before placing the offer, he walked me through the bits and pieces of it and helped me get a thorough understanding of it. I still remember bombarding him with tons of newbie questions and he would be patiently answering every one of them. You finally get into the contract, and then what -- you have a dozen critical selections to make (the lender, homeowners insurance, new-home warranty) and decisions to take based on the inspections (home, termite, foundation, etc.). Matt provided me with references to some really good brokers and inspectors, which I found greatly useful. In particular, his help with the insurace broker was of paramount importance, simply because getting a new policy in California has now become literally next to impossible. Among all the great attributes of Matt, I think the one that truly sticks one and worth mentioning here is his dedication towards his duty as a realtor. It was through this dedication that he was able to detect a critical issue in this propertys foundation which was missed even by the home inspector. It was an issue with the foundation rebards having rusted endings, something thats small enough to be overlooked but big enough to lead to major issues if not treated in time. Now being a homeowner, whenever I would look back and ponder over one of the major decisions I took in my life for my family, I would never forget the critical role that Matt played in it, and would ever be grateful to him, and to my Lord Jesus for this great blessing in the person of Matthew Minic!

Its important to start with a knowledgeable agent from day 1. Matt combines vast experience, knowledge, and a refreshing ability to really listen to your needs. From start to finish, through a complicated process Matts wisdom came into play to alleviate our concerns and cared deeply about answering every question. Matt makes his clients not only his first priority but also treats them like family. We are very grateful for all of his help in securing our lovely, new home. We would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and personable agent. He went above and beyond and made what would?ve been a stressful experience for some, a seamless experience for us and that we will always be grateful for. We are very happy with our dream home.

Matthew helped us sell our condo and then helped us buy a single family home. Our experience working with Matthew was amazing. We were able to leave everything in Matthew?s hands when it came to selling from getting the property ready, all the way to completing the sale. I?m confident that working with Matthew and following his recommendations helped us ensure the property sold at the right price and not below what it was worth. When buying Matthew went with us to a large number properties and analysed their pros and cons thoroughly. His advice was always on point and he really ensured he understood our needs well even when we kept changing our requirements based on the market changing. Matthew is someone we trust and would recommend unreservedly!

Last December, we spotted a house online that checked every box?great neighborhood, big backyard, more space for the kids?and reached out to Matthew Minic right away. He set up a tour for the next day, walked us through, and helped us go over pros and cons. We put in an offer two days later?no back-and-forth, no drama?and he made sure it stuck. He negotiated smartly (we got a solid credit to fix a section of the roof), kept everything on track, and answered every question we had at all hours. It wasn?t about getting us into just any home, it was about getting us into the RIGHT home. Matthew was calm, trustworthy, and honestly made the whole thing feel easy. We give Matthew five stars with no hesitation.

Our experience working with Matt was very positive! Matt is kind, professional and a good communicator. He helped us to purchase our home and was very supportive throughout the entire process. We are/were very satisfied with his responsiveness, flexibility and determination to help us! 10/10 recommend Matt to anyone who is looking to buy a home!
