First time home owners here! We are so happy we found Matthew. I don't think anyone could have been more helpful or communicative than Matthew was during this process. He went above and beyond to find us our dream condo in the Upper West Side. Believe me when I say that we were looking for a unicorn, and Matthew made it happen. It feels like he is a walking encyclopedia of every neighborhood in New York and we were grateful for his knowledge. Buying a home is daunting experience and can be overwhelming, so it was great to have a partner like Matthew to guide us through. Definitely recommend him to anyone looking.

Matthew was an outstanding partner in finding me my new home in NYC. He knows the neighborhoods, the buildings, the players...seems like his market knowledge is without limit!
His attention to detail is incredible, and his care and responsiveness leaves nothing to be desired. When we switched from looking at rentals to looking at purchase opportunities, he changed course expertly. I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew for your real estate needs.
