Best part of our home buying experience!

My finace and I recently purchased our first home and Matthew was hands down the best part of our home buying experience. He took the time to explain each step of the process, even the parts which he was not involved in. He explained legal terms in layman's terms without a condescending undertone. He... was flexible with his schedule during the hectic times of the coronavirus pandemic, and was always quick to reply by phone or email whenever a question would arise. I highly recommend Matthew and would use his services again in a heart beat!

Home purchase

Matthew handled my recent home purchase. He was very accessible and thorough. At the closing, he took his time with us and explained everything in advance of signing away. I'd recommend Matthew to anyone.

Huge help at a stressful time

Matt is knowledgeable, understanding, sympathetic, and patient. As a first time home buyer, I had no idea what I was getting into, and he helped my boyfriend and I navigate the overwhelming process with kindness and a sense of humor. We had a couple crazy incidents pop up that had me completely stres...sed and he was great at explaining the details and setting my mind at ease. He's responsive and organized and really helped us stay on top things. I'm so grateful to him and highly recommend his services!

Fantastic A+ real estate lawyer

Matthew was my go to for buying my first home. At every step of the process Matthew was there to answer any questions I had, and made sure I understood what was asked of me, and the consequences for my decisions. He available seemingly day or night by email and phone, and never left a request or ques...tion unanswered. At closing, he explained every document to me with striking clarity and detail. He was even able to resolve an issue during closing in my favor, with no warning at all. He is smart, warm, resourceful, respectful, dedicated, hard working and funny. This experience could not have gone better.
