DESCRIPTION
Licensed in Washington DC, Virginia, and Maryland, I have a particular appreciation for contemporary condominiums, renovated townhouses, and luxury homes. My job as your Realtor® is to guide you through the buying or selling process, taking the time to make sure you understand every step of the transaction. I am absolutely committed to fulfilling your needs with the highest level of professionalism, expertise, and service. My commitment to your satisfaction is the foundation from which a solid business relationship is built.
Real estate is both a science and an art – and achieving success for my clients comes from my combining them effectively. The key elements to the alchemy are:
* Having a solid grip on the process of buying and selling a home
* Knowing the pulse of the market and the current inventory
* Listening to, and helping clarify, your needs and criteria for a home
* Sensitivity and understanding of your home-owning goals and decision-making process
* Being able to engage a network of excellent service providers, including lenders, settlement companies, and home inspectors
* Skillfully negotiating a winning contract, and
* Navigating the sometimes-challenging terrain to the settlement table, so that your experience is as smooth and painless as possible.
I bring a unique and valuable set of skills to the business, honed over the course of a very successful career in international development work. What I have found is that what I applied across the globe – project management, thorough research, detailed analysis, coaching and training others, and artful negotiation—are incredibly effective in real estate.
It is often said that if you follow your heart, the money will follow. I have found that to be very much the case in real estate. Your success really is my satisfaction.

TESTIMONIALS
"If you are looking for a home in Washington DC or Virginia, look no further. For my third home purchase moving back from VA to DC, I needed an agent who understood exactly what my needs were and was familiar with the District. Matt not only blew me away with his knowledge of WDC design, architecture and neighborhoods, he listened to what I wanted and made certain that those were the houses we went to see. From start to finish, Matt's attention to detail, response time, courtesy and direction were above and beyond my expectations. Matthew assisted me in finding my latest dream home and I couldn't be happier for it."
- Neema, Washington DC
"Matthew, you've been a great help, especially for a newbie in the home buying market, like I was. You took the time to make me comfortable and knowledgeable enough about the real estate world to purchase my first home. The personal touch and the compassion you showed to a practical stranger were phenomenal. Thanks for all of your hard work and I look forward to seeing you at my house-warming party."
- Rob, Washington DC
"Matt guided me through every step of the process of buying a house. He helped me negotiate a really good price on a house that is perfect for me and my son. When I tell people what a great deal I got, they can’t believe it!"
- Pam, Alexandria
