More about Matthew Harnick

I have been in the real estate business since January 1996, starting as a part time investor/rehabber at the tender age of 24 :). I got my license in 2006 and started with a smaller regional brokerage simply to buy more properties more quickly - and when the crash of 2008/2009 came I decided to enter real estate full time as an agent. Thankfully I met with Keller Williams and haven't looked back! It was not my first brokerage, it'll be my last. I was born and raised in Philadelphia, moving into the suburbs. I have a huge family, lots of friends, and great centers of influence/past clients all over the five-county area, which has created tremendous knowledge of the area we call the Delaware Valley/Southeastern PA...and I am comfortable working throughout this region. I'll also consider heading a little further north into the southern part of Lehigh County for a referral in the areas ...

Matthew Harnick

  • Matthew never responded to my request

      He was the selling agent on the house that we were trying to buy. We submitted an offer (FULL ASK) the 1st day the house was listed. From my understanding the house had multiple offers by the next day. We asked for an answer within 24hours, WE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING FROM HIM. The next day my realtor reached out to him to get an update/status and Matt reply’s saying that an offer was accepted last night, also stating that he sent an email out to all the agents asking for best and final offer. WE NEVER GOT THAT OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE HE DIDN’T SEND MY AGENT THE EMAIL. We were well prepared to go higher and we never even had the chance to! I don’t know if he had something going on behind the scenes but this was NOT RIGHT! I could Have potentially been given an even higher offer to the seller! So he costed me my dream home and possibly the seller some money missed.

    • From the first time you came out to show us a house you have been exemplary in your professionalism; punctual, thorough, knowledgeable and hard working. As someone who has managed people for a long time I recognize quality work when I see it! Pair that with your being just a nice guy and you have a winning combination! Everyone knows that buying a house is an extremely stressful purchase. You have the right balance of support and help without being pushy! I felt like you were there through the whole process for buying AND selling!! My heartfelt gratitude!

    • Matt is a go getter! As a hard to please client, Matt showed great patience with my 8 month house hunt which eventually covered 5 counties and over 130 properties, till finding the right choice. I would recommend Matt Harnick without reservation to any house hunter looking for a knowledgeable and relentless buyer's agent! Hemade the process of buying a home easy and effortless.

      - Michael Foight
    • "Matt was so great and helpful in helping us find the perfect home! He helped us to find a house that hadeverything we were looking for and was very patient through all of our indecision as first time homebuyers. He isa true professional and we would highly recommend him!

      - Samantha & Jeff Cafaro
    • Our journey with Matt began in early spring 2015 when we relocated to Pennsylvania from Florida. We were looking for a temporary rental and we stumbled upon Matt - we could not have been more fortunate. Over the course of our year long lease, Matt would periodically check in with us and ironed out any issues that we had. When we were ready to purchase a home in the spring of 2016 there was no question who would help us with the home buying process. Matt was ever so patient and was beyond a pleasure to work with. From phone calls to text messages and everything in between - Matt was quick to respond with an answer. I honestly cannot imagine going through the home buying process with another agent. Over the course of the past year and a half, we have truly gotten to know Matt and my husband and I call him a friend. If you are looking for a realtor: Matt Harnicks your guy!

      - Jessica & Steve Cella
    • Matt was referred to me through a close friend and Im so glad because he was pivotal in helping me settle on a wonderful home. Im not sure how many houses I dragged him through - looking at potential forever homesI had quite a few must haves but it all had to fit into a very limited budget and a lot of things had to get eventually removed from that must have list. So, it was down to two homes - a beautiful move-in-ready - but kind of far from family and train station - top end of my budget home and another, a fixer upper which was in my ideal townhouse community closer to family and train not in the layout I had dreamed of but had been sitting on the market empty for a while. After dragging him to the same home 4-5 times so I could show family/friends to help me decide, he told me to imagine all the things I could do to this home to make it my own. In the end I decided for the fixer upper - - - he suggested a great offer which was accepted. The house had originally been put on the market for $204,900 - - - I got it for $175,000. Since I was doing this all by myself, Matt made sure to sit with me and explain everything in detail. He got me in touch with an amazing mortgage broker who put me in touch with a great financial advisor. We all were able to navigate through the process through ups and downs when dealing with a property settlement and lawyers who drag their feet. Matt would constantly calm me down when Id call in a panic. Once everything was settled and the home was finally mine, the personal service did not stop! Matt was there to help cut and rehang a cabinet that turned out to be too big when my new refrigerator was delivered. He also brought me a guest bedroom bed when he knew I only had a mattress for that room. He met my crazy family on more than one occasion and was so sweet, kind and funny with them that they fell in love with him. Five days after I finally moved in, after a lot of hard work, painting and carpet laying, he was a phone call/text message away when the washer wouldnt work referring me to another awesome contact to help me out. I cannot say enough about Matt - how devoted he is to his family and to his profession. I would refer him to anyone I know who is looking for a dedicated realtor. Not only that, Im proud to also call him my friend.

    • Purchasing our first home was a monumental event for us, therefore we wanted to ensure that we had a realtor who fit our needs. Matt Harnick was that guy. Matt is a knowledgeable, personable, determined individual who helped us every step of the home buying process. Being that it was our first home, there were lots of questions and Matt was always available to answer them. He is diligent in returning phone calls and gathering necessary information and made what can be a stressful process relatively easy for us. Our situation was particularly complicated because we were interested in buying a home in Pennsylvania, but were living in Florida at the time. Matt was consistently on top of the situation from the time we expressed interest in buying a home until the day of our closing. He provided excellent guidance with all of our home buying questions and was patient inexplaining many of the forms and documents to us. I can remember flying into Pennsylvania from Florida oneweekend to see homes with Matt. On that particular day, Matt was ill with the flu, but knowing that we had flown from Florida and how important seeing homes was to us, he pushed himself and was able to put his physical ailment aside in order to show us many homes. This is just one example of Matt's dedication to his work. Wehighly recommend Matt Harnick to anyone who is interested in selling or buying a home and will definitely becalling him again the next time we decide to move.

    • I wanted to take a moment to write and thank you for all of your help in assisting me in the purchase of myrecent investment properties. It was truly a pleasure working with you (and your staff at Keller Williams) through this whole process. After working with you from start to finish on the 1st property, it was an easy decision and I only needed to make one phone call for the next couple properties. Did I mention and thank you for actually bringing these properties to my attention, after knowing and learning about me and my investment strategy? You were always readily available by phone, e-mail and at times just a text message away. I especially want tothank you for your expertise and experience in this field. Your suggestions along the way, and resources have proven invaluable. You have really created and established a very nice network of colleagues in this industry, ranging from mortgage brokers to contractors to home inspectors. Please feel free to use me as a reference should anyone wish to speak with me about my favorable experiences with you and Keller Williams.

    • I am sending this letter to you to compliment you and your organization relative to two recent real estate sales completed in my behalf. I enlisted Keller Williams real estate agent Matt Harnick to sell my childhood residence shortly after my father's death in 2010. My family had lived at 947 Providence Rd., Springfield, Pa. from 1951onward, and in 2010 my 94 year old father still resided there. After his passing, I became executor of his estate with the responsibility to sell the house, and had no idea how to proceed. After contacting Mr. Harnick I was delighted with his enthusiasm, energy, and expertise in directing the selling process. He advised me in preparing the property for sale, helped me obtain qualified and trustworthy people tocomplete the work, and the house was put on the market January 15,2010. He was diligent in pursuing all leads, keeping me informed, and generating interest in the property with other brokers, as well as visiting the neighbors to enlist their interest. So....by March 8,2010 I had an offer at my asking price and settlement was completed successfully April 29,2010. AMAZING, in this market, at that time of year. When I made the decision to sell my personal residence in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia naturally I called uponMatt Harnick again. Again Matt advised, prepared, and managed ALL aspects of the selling project. He prepared photos, a video tour, and a web site of the house for potential buyers. He organized Open House visits for brokers and potential buyers on separate occasions, again informed my neighbors, and shared his energy andenthusiasm with my wife and myself. No surprise...the house was put on the market May 13,2011 and we had a solid offer June 27th!!! Settlement was completed August 23, 2011 with NO DIFFICULTY WHATSOEVER!! Again AMAZING beyond belief!! I cannot say enough great things about Matt Harnick. He is a talented, engaged, enthusiast ic professional who dedicates himself to his job and especially his clients. He is an asset to you and your organization, and deserves ALL of the credit for completing these two sales in record setting time WITHOUT ANY errors or delays!!! My best regards and heartfelt gratitude.

    • This letter is written to recognize and recommend the outstanding service, professionalism, and most importantly, the expertise of Matt Harnick and the Keller Williams Real Estate-Blue Bell team as real estate professionals. As a first-time buyer, the home buying experience can be overwhelming, especially when you are unexpectedly forced into a situation of needing to have the entire process done in under 2 months. However, with Matt's guidance, we were helped through the entire process and found exactly what we wanted and needed in a house. In addition to Matt's outstanding professionalism, his expertise was tremendous - whether it was recommending a quality inspector, helping us set up and view numerous houses in a day, or always being available to answer any questions we had, and did we ever have questions! The guidance we received from Matt was just that, never once did he try to pressure or force us into a decision. He presented his recommendations and suggestions and let us make our own decisions, supporting us 100%. When we started having problems with our mortgage company not processing our papers promptly Matt was there, calling the company with us, communicating to make sure everything happened in the time it needed tohappen. Finding all these traits in a person let alone a real estate professional is difficult. We were beyond fortunate that we were able to find all of those traits in Matt. I would gladly and highly recommend Matt Harnick to anyone looking a Real estate professional.

    • I wanted to take a moment to let you know how HAPPY I am at my new home. It's a dream come true for meand my girls. We love where we are. The neighborhood is a great one and we love living here! You were anintegral part of us being in our home and I hope you know that! You worked so hard for us to get into this house. I think you knew how much we all loved it here from the moment we did the initial walk through! Thank you for your negotiation skills which I counted on faithfully and proved to be favorable! I wasn't able to do any of this without someone who knew Upper Dublin so well, and knew the right people to call for home inspections, title, etc... Your knowledge was a HUGE part of the reason why I used you and would recommend others use you! Thanks again!

    • I am a first time home owner and for the past 2 years I have dealt with Matt Harnick as a Real Estate Agent. Hetook me to see countless properties, as I am quite picky, until I found the home of my dreams. The tricky situation was that the home of my dreams was a short sale. For 11 months Matt fought so hard to get me in myhome, he was a great team player with the listing agent, banks, Title Company and everyone else whose hands had to sign off on me getting into my dream home. Matt held my hand through the entire process because as a first time buyer I was unsure what to expect and never expected the sale to take as long as it did. I would recommend Matt to be your agent if you want a friendly, personable and hard working person on your team!!

    • Matt Harnick was our realtor for our purchase of new construction home in Maple Glen, PA. When we first started with Matt back in the summer of 2011 looking for houses he helped us target areas that met our specific criteria. Then he suggested a new lot that was in one of our top target townships of Upper Dublin. We didn't even think new construction was a feasible situation for us, but after we saw the lot it all changed. The pricing was within our overall budget and the area ended up being our top choice. We decided to move forward with this new construction process in April 2012. Not only did Matt suggest the lot and mention that the builder was a well respected custom home builder, but his whole network was truly the icing on the cake. He referred us to a mortgage broker, an attorney and an energy analyst for home energy efficiency. These professionals were absolutely amazing. Our mortgage broker was very efficient, timely anddirect. He ended up getting us a 3.875%, 30 year fixed mortgage on a jumbo loan! The attorney managed toget us a 2 year warranty from the builder, which is usually unheard of. The energy analyst suggested various items during the building process that made our house extremely energy efficient. The whole process was very tightly managed and not only does Matt have great knowledge of the area, but his network and team of support professionals is simply amazing. I would HIGHLY recommend Matt and his overall process if you were looking for a new construction home in the near future!

    • "When we were looking to finally sell our house in Northeast Philadelphia, Matt came highly recommended from a friend. Since his office is located in Blue Bell we weren't sure it would be the best fit for us. What we learned isthat Matt works all over the five county area, and can sell a house anywhere! Our concerns could not have beenfurther from the truth! Matt came to our house, listened to our ideas, looked over our home, and made some great suggestions onwhat we should and shouldnt do to get our house ready for sale. He also took all the photos and a video himself which would be put online on a customized website of his creation with the name tailored to our address, which most realtors do not. From the day it was listed to the day we closed Matt was just a call, email or text away ifwe had a showing or a question. Within the first 60 days we had OVER 40 showings and FOUR offers during that time (which is unheard of in our neighborhood)!When we started closing Matt had us extremely prepared, paperwork ready, and signed in very short time. Matt even assisted our realtor, on our buying side in NJ, with any paperwork they needed to complete our purchase out of state. We never felt unprepared or unrepresented in selling our home of 16 years. I truly cannot say that about most of the agents who represented buyers coming through our home. Matt helped us navigate through them all and our house was sold for a great price within two and a half months - which is VERY fast in our section of the city. I cannot say enough about the confidence we had in Matt and his attention to detail, which was STELLAR. If you need a realtor to help you buy or sell your home, hes your guy!

    • My wife and I were first introduced to Matthew Harnick by a neighbor in March 2015. We were under a tight deadline for signing a lease on a new apartment in August and therefore had to sell the house quickly. We soon discovered that Matt was fervently dedicated to helping us sell our house, despite a number of setbacks we hadwith our home along the way. During our initial meeting, Matt provided several suggestions for improvements toour house that would provide the best marketability/sale price. He even helped us reduce our moving expenses by offering his own personal trailer to haul away any unwanted items and scrap material. The house was listed at the end of June, and Matt held an open house in mid-July that generated an offer by the end of July. However, this offer was extremely low for the economics of our area, so Matt took the initiative tomeet with the proposed buyer and explain the expected price range for similar homes in our neighborhood. This meeting led to a better offer from the buyer, but it was still too low. Matt advised us to leave the offer and move forward in pursuing other potential buyers. Over the next several weeks, the original buyer had reconsidered and presented a third offer, which was within striking distance of the asking price. At that point, we counter-offered and placed certain restrictions in the agreement of sale. We then reached a point, unexpectedly, where the buyer was ready to revoke the agreement over some inspection items. Thinking quickly, Matt worked with the other agent to quickly negotiate a supplemental addendum, allowing us to pay for certain repairs, which was enough to convince the buyer to move forward with the deal. We settled only 81 days after listing the house and just 5 weeks after the offer was accepted. Although we only received one offer, Matt was able to work effectively with the buyers agent to generate a higher, acceptable price. His knowledge of the local market, professionalism and follow-through on commitments were invaluable attributes in selling our house. Matt personifies the expression above and beyond the call ofduty, and we can honestly say that Matt was the agent possessing the right set of interpersonal skills tonavigate our transaction. I was so impressed with Matt that I recommended him to the office administrator at my accounting firm. Because of Matts efforts, she had an outstanding experience in buying her first house. If we ever decide to purchase another house, Matt will definitely be getting our business. For my wife and me, Matt is not only an exceptional real estate agent; he is also a trusted friend!

    • Matt, you are the best at what you do. We interviewed several other top rated realtors and there was noquestion that you were the sharpest, had all the right connections, and a high level of motivation. Any roadblocks we had you jumped on with a rapid solution and helped with the fix. Junk disposal stat, the piano mover and the IMPACT information. We got the house on the market stat. You had it sold in under 48 hours tothe perfect buyer. I would never consider hiring another realtor after working with you. It was a pleasure to dobusiness with somebody who knows their business beyond compare. If need be you were on things into the early morning hours. You knew correctly and immediately who would give us the lowest bid for the concrete work etc. I drove past the house the other day and see that the perfect buyer owns it. Thanks for everything!!!!!

    • "Hi Matt, I met you at the BNI meetings about three years ago. I was always impressed by your positive attitude anddemeanor. Time went by and I started seeing your presentations and began understanding that you were a different kind of agent in a positive way. Since then we had several interactions both personal and professional, and you always showed your integrity and professionalism. A few months ago my son died in a tragic motorcycle accident and left a house as part of the estate. I did nothesitate for a second to call you with my predicament and knew that you were the man for the job. It made such a difference to work with you, your compassion and understanding of this difficult situation made it easier to dealwith it. You were a friend, advisor, counselor...and of course a great real estate agent. Your expertise inmarketing, pricing and approach to sell the property resulted in an immediate sale. Needless to say not having topay this mortgage was a big burden taken off our shoulders. Your response time amazed me, I started to think that you do not sleep when you answered emails in the middle of the night and in the wee hours of the morning. Your follow up was timely, your paperwork impeccable, your explanations clear and quick. I need to mention that over time I bought and sold personal and investment properties, in addition to being very involved in helping my son and daughter with their real estate purchases. Indoing so I interacted with several agents and you were the best by far, no contest. Matt, I want to say once again thank you - on my behalf and Ruth's as well it was great having you on our side. Feel free to use this email asa testament to your service at your discretion.

    • "We were extremely fortunate to have worked with Matt on our recent home purchase. Matt was highly professional and responsive, and his knowledge of the Ambler and surrounding areas was simply unparalleled. Beyond helping us select our home, Matt made an outstanding set of recommendations for others, like ourmortgage banker and title company, that assisted us in the process. We never would have been able to close soquickly (28 days!!) were it not for Matt. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to move to this area!!

    • "It was a pleasure to work with Matt Harnick through our selling and buying process. We didnt think we were ready to begin the process, but after one meeting, Matt helped us realize what decisions we needed to make and we had the house on the market within 4 weeks. Since we are very busy and have two small children, Matts approach was greatly appreciated, as it was sincere, informative and supportive, without being overbearing orpushy. He had a clear plan for quickly and effectively marketing the house, creating an immediate interest. We were delighted when we went under contract in 9 days for asking price! On the buying side, Matt demonstrated a great deal of patience as we went through dozens of properties until we found what was right for us. Heconsistently worked around our schedule and made himself available whenever we had questions- over the phone, text, or email, Matt was fantastic!

    • "About 8 weeks ago, I had to make a very agonizing decision: which realtor company and more importantly which realtor do I use to sell my home of 10 year. I had been through the entire process in the past and majorly regretting having to go through it again. I interviewed many companies and was extremely disappointed. I was turned off by their aggressive tactics just to make their commission as well their insincere interests to my needs and what my home represented to me and my family, just to name a few reasons. That all changed when I met Matt Harnick from Keller Williams. Immediately from the start, I knew that he would be the one assisting me in selling my home. He was personable, easy to talk to, courteous and very responsive to my needs. He was honest and very tactful. He was the exact opposite of all the other realtors that I had interviewed. My decision was incredibly easy once I hadmet Matt. As the process of selling my house progressed, my decision of using Matt became even more reinforced. He was prompt; always made his deadlines, and kept me constantly in the loop via texts, phone call, emails and personal meetings. On numerous occasions, I texted and emailed him very late at night and always received an instant reply. His effective communication skills made the negotiations between all the parties very simple. In fact my home sold in just one day and we received the full asking price. I give Matt a lot of credit for these facts because he was familiar with my area, priced the house accurately and honestly is great at his profession. Simply put he took a very complicated and emotional situation (of selling my home) and made the entire process from start to close very smooth and non-stressful. My relationship with Matt did not stop with the selling of my home. I also used Matt to purchase my next home. This too went smoothly. He located a house in a beautiful and safe neighborhood. Negotiations for this property went very easily. He ensured all the inspections were performed in a timely manner and again kept me apprised of all details. Six weeks later, I am moved in and starting a new beginning with my family. In sum, as I look back on all my major decisions in life, I can confidently state that using Matt to sell my home and purchase a new home was one I will never regret. He is genuinely a wonderful person and I now consider him a family friend. If you should need to contact me regarding my experiences with Matt and/or Keller Williams, please call me at (**please let me know if youd like to call Sean and Ill gladly share his number!)

    • "Before listing the house we grew up in in Maple Glen, I interviewed 5 realtors! I learned that anyone is willing tolist a home and give you many ideas for improvement. I also learned that what makes a realtor stand out special is when they truly listen to your wishes in selling the property and then go full out to help realize that goal. In our case we were faced with selling the estate of our parents and I live out-of-state. We were looking at selling the house as-is. Matt Harnick was our man and let me tell you why. We needed to clean out the home and Matt showed up with his trailer that we loaded and took to the dump. Once the paperwork was signed ( all done very efficiently over the web) Matt had a buyer the very next day - for the full asking price. While paperwork was underway, I was notified everytime the house was shown. Start to finish we closed on the house in less than one month. Closing was done via the web and Matt even deposited the check in the account for us. You want to work with a blessing - Matt is your man. Nope we aren't related, matter of fact I never met Matt in person until a few days before closing.

    • If the rules allowed for it, I would vote a hundred times for Matt Harnick as Montcos Best Realtor. Since, unfortunately, that is not something that is allowed, I decided to cast my one vote and give my rationale on why he deserves this title. I started the process of looking for a home over two years ago. Admittedly, I was not the easiest customer towork with. I had some very specific requirements, a very small geographic area that I wanted to look in and a pretty strict price range. Matt continually worked to find me listings that might fall within the narrow criteria that I laid out. He was professional, consistent and, most importantly in my case, patient. Somehow he helped me tofind a place that was perfect and masterfully navigated a somewhat tricky negotiation with the sellers. I honestly never thought I would find a place that I really wanted at the price I was looking for. I couldnt be happier with either the house or the buying experience.
