We want to thank Matt for helping us through the buying and selling process! Moving can be a daunting task, but Matt always made us feel at ease. He was readily available to offer guidance and advice when we needed it. He understands the needs of his clients, and he is always willing to advocate for them . The selling process went with ease due to Matt’s attention to detail and preparation. He is currently helping us with building a new home, and we appreciate that he has been fully engaged in each step of the build. Look no further if you need an amazing realtor.

Peter Jennifer Guglielmetti2023-01-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gretchen is the best realtor we have ever worked with, not only on the selling side but also on the buying. She is very professional, experienced and cares about her clients. Highly recommended!! Brad Ramey2023-01-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We decided to put our house on the market right at the beginning of the housing boom that took place in 2021. Matt with the Gretchen Evans team was extremely proactive. He immediately had a client who was looking for a home in our area with many of the same specifications as our home. Although our house was not the perfect fit for that family, Matt had several others ready to come take a look. The next day, before we even had a sign in our yard, our house was sold!! Of course, that left us with a problem… We did not have a house to move into. We were fortunate that we had family that we could rely on to live with for a small span of time l, if needed. Matt knew the area we were looking for, and was extremely proactive in finding homes for us to look at. Remind you, this was during a time where houses were selling like hotcakes. He found several houses for us to look at, but they were not the perfect home for us. The day before our movers came to move us out of our home, Matt found our perfect home! He stayed in constant contact with us during the time that we were living with family and was extremely helpful in the move in process. We hope we never have to move again, but would definitely use Matt and the Gretchen Evans team if we do. We highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a realtor. Brad & Meg Ramey fdobrien2023-01-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was really skeptical that I was going to be able to find my home given the tough market conditions. But I must say Matt and Gretchen got it done. I really appreciated their tag team approach to helping me find my dream home. I thought the communication throughout the process was clear and concise. Despite having some problems with the lender, Matt was able to work through extending our contract with the seller so that we didn't fall out of contract. Thank you so much Gretchen and Matt for making my dream come true! Brian petronis2022-12-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have bought and sold a number of homes with Gretchen through different economic cycles and the process was always seamless. A handful of the transactions were complex, in nature, but we always worked steadily toward closing. Andre Szabo2022-12-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was great a great experience working with Gretchen. She made the whole process fun and we were completely satisfied with the outcome! Amy Tryon2022-12-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used Gretchen and her team to buy and sell multiple properties over the years. They have always gone above and beyond to make sure our experiences were smooth and stress free.
