Matt Vance

My husband and I had the best experience working with Matt as first time home buyers! We had a unique buying situation with an extremely short timeline. As soon as we contacted Matt, he met with us to review everything and was so kind and informative. We found a house and put an offer in within a few days. Matt worked super hard to ensure we could do everything in time, and worked closely with our lender to make it all happen. He gave us expert guidance on the offer amount and it worked out perfectly. Highly recommend Matt for an experienced, personable and reliable agent (he knows the Bay Area extremely well!)

We have worked with Matt twice now. Once buying years ago, and now selling. Both times were fantastic. You just really want Matt on your side; he's super easy to work with, easy to communicate with, honest with you about what you're up against and how to position yourself, and has plenty of experience and resources and connections to help you prepare your home for sale, or to find the place you're looking to buy. Often it comes down to little details, and you really want someone like Matt who is going to give you the best chance at getting the result you're hoping for. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Matt did a tremendous job helping my husband and I purchase our first home. We visited countless places throughout the East Bay and after coming in close with a couple of offers, were able to purchase by far the most incredible home we'd visited. The entire process from initial conversation with Matt up until our move-in date, took less than 3 months. Incredible! One thing I really appreciated about Matt's style was that when he showed us houses, we could tell he was genuinely trying to see if they would be a good fit. He was honest about the shortcomings of places and their strengths. I never once felt like I was being pushed, pressured or "sold" into buying a home. He recognizes that this is such a monumental decision it truly has to come from the will of the buyer. He also cautioned us to not overbid on a place that, while it had great potential, needed a TON of time-consuming, costly fixing and ultimately wouldn't have been nearly as excellent a place as the one we ended up with. He also knows a ton about construction and renovations which was helpful as we bounced ideas off of each other. We're so grateful for his expertise, tremendously value his advice, and felt like he was really looking out for us. Highly recommend!!

Peter and Matt were fantastic guides in the real estate transaction process. We were so pleased we used them both to buy and sell. We were probably not the ideal clients as we early on informed them that we were considering building on rather than trading up. Nonetheless, as we toured open houses over a year and a half, they offered insights, talked up some properties, and suggested we skip on many more, and generally put to shame any notion that a quick transaction is what makes the industry tick. These guys were all about the right fit, even if that might have meant a building permit rather than escrow. In the end, we decided to buy, and Peter and Matt were great to have when putting together a winning offer. We later decided to sell our old house, and Peter and Matt were critical in getting our house to look its best. In addition to their vast industry knowledge, they are good listeners, and just genuinely nice people to be around, which is great when it comes to something as important as finding a home.
