Blake and Matt performed exceptionally well in facilitating the sale of my condo and with the purchase of my first home! They consistently demonstrated great communication and ensuring that I was kept informed throughout the process. I would definitely recommend their services for future homes!

Matt did a great job in helping us purchase a condo. We are from the East Coast and he communicated effectively every step of the way. He understood the nuances of Long Beach real estate and if there was a question he couldn’t answer, he’d find the right answer. Fastest close on a real estate transaction. Thank you Matt.

Matt and Blake were amazing to work with throughout this entire process. They work great as a team and are always there to help and explain everything in great detail. Not only did we sell our home in ONE day, we also got top dollar! They were kind, caring and did everything they could to make selling our home as quick and easy as possible. Simply an amazing experience and we would highly recommend Matt and Blake!

We worked with Matt most recently on the sale of our Long Beach home. He also assisted us five years ago with the purchase of it! He always had our best interests in mind, securing over ten offers (most over asking price!) after only a couple days on the market. He is super responsive- always available via text, email, phone, and always clear and professional working with all parties. He always goes above and beyond...he stopped by our house multiple times to review paperwork we needed help with and even offered to interview realtors for our next home purchase across the country. He made the entire transaction stress free. Matt is the BEST, would highly recommend him!

Working with Matt and Blake was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! They have deep knowledge of the market and provided invaluable insights into finding the perfect home. Their expert negotiation skills ensured we got the best deal possible, and they were always available to answer our questions and guide us through the process. What truly sets Matt and Blake apart is their commitment to client satisfaction. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail was handled with care and professionalism. Whether you're looking to buy a home or sell your property, Matt and Blake are the go-to experts. We couldn't be happier with our new home and highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch realtors. Thank you, Matt and Blake!

We had Matthew Welch as our realtor and he was so easy to work with. What I appreciated most was the consistent open communication. He was available to us at all hours and assisted with anything we had questions about. Matt has a very positive outlook and reassured us that our perfect home was out there. He was right. He worked hard for us and worked to give us the best chance of getting the house we really wanted.
