Sitting on Bethesda Ave on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

Dear Matt, Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your hard work, creativity, great connections and persistence in the sale of my townhouse in Germantown, MD. In this market, any sale is tough, but you handled this short-sale in the most professional and fastest manner possible. From the full price offer only four days after the house was listed, to the closing in less than 60 days, you really pulled this together!

I am happy to strongly recommend you to anyone seeking to buy or sell a home in the DC area. You have a terrific style, great customer care, and more energy than I’ve ever seen in a REALTOR. I believe that your marketing approach using social media as well as traditional advertising helped bring in the right buyer for my house.

Best of luck to you, and again, thank you!

What would you like to say about working with Matt Murton?

Let me start by saying that I’m not the easiest person to deal with when it comes to some things, and am skeptical of people who make money off of my decisions in life (such as a realtor and my buying a property). Having said this, Matt gained my full and total trust after a short period of time through doing a few very important things.

1) Matt listened to what I had to say and showed me properties both inside, and outside of my “box” that he thought would entice me. I appreciated his willingness to try and get me to explore my options.

2) Matt spoke to me in my language. He knew that I hated beating around the bush with things and that I required being spoken to in a straight-forward manner all the time. Not only did he do this himself, which helped gain my trust and us communicate effectively; but he also explained to those others with whom I had to deal in the process how to speak with me in a manner that would work so we could move progressively forward.

3) More than once, actually probably about 5-10 times did Matt step into the fray for me and take the reigns when I was getting very frustrated with people not getting me the information I needed. He said to me once “Sam, I just know through my experience in this business that you get farther with these people using honey instead of vinegar.” I said to him “Matt, you be the honey, I’ll be the vinegar.” And he was, and if it weren’t for his knowledge, diplomatic ability, and capacity for great patience when I was getting fired up, I probably would not have secured my loan.

4) Matt went out of his way OFTEN to help me with the small things. Picking me up, dropping me off, speaking to loan officers, mortgage people, and everyone else when I needed him to. Even today, this last day when I was signing, he offered to and did go out to my car and paid for more time on my meter.

In the beginning Matt was just some realtor who I was skeptical of. In the end however, I feel as though I genuinely gained a friend. My overall experience was as good as it could have been.

Would you recommend Matt to a friend in the future?  Definitely
