"Nicolle and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Matt Carlson in the search for our perfect home! Matt went above and beyond for us when it came to finding a home! He not only communicated early, he communicated often, something we greatly appreciated. He did a tremendous job running numbers, making sure each and every house checked off our boxes, and coordinated effectively and efficiently when it came to the logistics and process. He made it easy for us, and that's the best part. No one wants to be stressed out during these times, it should be exciting, and Matt made it that! He cared about us finding our home, first and foremost. He didn't try to sway us into a more expensive house or something that we didn't really think was right. He trusted us and we trusted him. It was a great partnership. I honestly can't stress how great Matt is. You will not be disappointed working with Matt.
Thanks Matt! We love the place!" 

"Matt is an outstanding agent to work with! He took the time to get to know both my partner and I to understand what we were looking for in a home. In a month Matt was able to find our dream home. He was patient in the research, resourceful and was able to provide great insight into the local markets. This being our first home purchase, we had a ton of questions and reservations for which Matt took the time to walk us through the process and made himself available to answer any questions. He is truly so thoughtful and caring. Without any doubt, Matt would be our first call for any future transactions."

"As a first-time homebuyer, I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with Matt. From start to finish, he was patient, knowledgeable, and completely committed to making sure I understood every step of the process. Matt consistently made sure I felt confident, prepared, and comfortable with each decision along the way.

What really stood out was his professionalism paired with his ability to make the experience feel personal. He carried himself with expertise and reliability, but at the same time had a way of making conversations about being a home owner feel easy and natural. That balance made a huge difference in this whole process.

He was always responsive, clear in his communication, and was motivated to addressing any questions I had. I felt supported and genuinely cared for throughout the entire process.

I’m incredibly grateful for Matt’s guidance and would highly recommend him to anyone, especially first-time buyers who want someone trustworthy, honest and truly invested in their happiness."

"We worked with Matt for nearly a year while searching for our new home, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better agent. He was incredibly patient as we toured over 50 homes and never once made us feel rushed or pressured. He genuinely wanted us to find the right house, and his knowledge and calm guidance made the entire process so much easier.

Matt also represented us as the listing agent for the home we were selling, and he went above and beyond. He essentially acted as a contractor, coordinating every item on our punch list and making sure the house was perfectly prepared for market. His attention to detail and strong understanding of what buyers look for paid off—we sold our home in just 5 days and over asking price.

We’re so grateful for Matt’s hard work, professionalism, and dedication. We highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home."

"I had the pleasure of working with Matt Carlson on the sale of our family home—a property that had been off the market for over 50 years. I needed a realtor with deep expertise in the Seattle market, someone who understood the unique character and appeal of different neighborhoods. Matt exceeded all expectations.
We spent countless hours strategizing the best approach to market this home, ensuring it would resonate with prospective buyers. Matt expertly guided every necessary repair and update, ultimately securing top dollar in a challenging market. Perhaps the most rewarding aspect was being able to pass this home on to a buyer who now has the same opportunity for growth, stability, and cherished memories that my family enjoyed for so many years.
If you’re buying or selling, I wholeheartedly recommend Matt Carlson. His dedication, insight, and market savvy make him an invaluable partner in the real estate process."

"Matt Carlson was very helpful and informative throughout the process of finding and purchasing our family's first home. He understood what kind of house we were looking for and suggested options as soon as they came on the market, always tailored to our individual budget and preferences for amenities and location. He was flexible around our schedule to set up house viewings. When it came time to put in an offer, Matt worked with us and the seller's agent to determine what would be a competitive offer, using his contacts and knowledge of the local market. He was there from our initial meeting all the way through closing (and beyond), and was amazing in helping guide us through what can be an overwhelming and stressful process, especially for first-time buyers. We highly recommend working with Matt for finding and buying a home."

"We had an excellent experience with Matt as our agent. As first-time homebuyers we were pretty clueless about the process but Matt was there every step of the way to help us through everything. He showed us a bunch of places and got the ball rolling when we were ready to make an offer.

Matt went above and beyond to make sure we closed on time. Overall, the experience went much smoother than we'd thought it would, in large part due to Matt's hard work and diligence.

I will definitely be recommending Matt to any friends and family seeking to buy a home."

"Matt is an outstanding realtor! I couldn't say enough good things about him and our experience. He knows his stuff and knows it well. He helped my wife and I buy our first ever home. We couldn't be happier with our home!

Many people say buying a house is stressful, yet that was not the case for us. Matt was able to educate, care, and support us through the process. He was gracious to answer any questions, look at any house, and went above and beyond when it came to buying this home.

I remember vividly that he actually drove himself to West Seattle to check out a home for us because we both had to work and could not visit it in person. He pulled out his phone and FaceTimed the entire time showing us the house and answering questions. Again, above and beyond!

Matt understands first and foremost his client. Building relationships is his priority. He knows when to push and knows when to pull back. Many times realtors can be all up in your business or push really hard just so they can make a sale. That's not Matt, he cares about you and wants the best for you.

We would recommend Matt to anyone who is looking for purchase a house! Highly highly recommend!"

"Matt was awesome to work with throughout the entire process of looking at houses to closing on my first home. Once he knew what type of home I was looking for, the price range, and in what neighborhoods, he would send me options and we’d go look at ones I liked. He had a great memory of what features were important to me, and he saved me a lot of time and energy by curating the houses we’d look at based on our time together. The house I ended up buying was one he found for me, and I know I wouldn’t have seen it otherwise.
The whole home buying process from putting down an offer to getting the keys after it closed was seamless thanks to his amazing help and communication. I am still in shock with how well my first time home buying experience was thanks to Matt’s guidance and support.
If you’re looking for a house or trying to sell yours, I highly recommend going with Matt Carlson. I’ll definitely be working with him again in the future!"

"My wife and I have known Matt professionally for over 20 years, this year we decided to sell our home. Matt was our choice due to his great communication skills, both on the negotiation side with other realtors (if you're buying) and/or with us, the sellers. Additionally, he is a great networker, does excellent market research and has realistic buying/selling prices because he is very informed of the current market. Whether you're selling or buying I would highly recommend Matt because he is a great person and is matched with the amazing resources Windermere provides."

"Highest praise for Matt's dedication, vision, humor and tenacity. He led us on a journey of success, especially since the property was a bit unique, changes needed to happen, and we had a tight timeline. His bubbling personality and inherent ingenuity saved the day - each & every day - and before you could say "presto!" we were in contract, after a total transformation of the house. (Hooray, it was Matt to the rescue.)"

"After we found the one property that was perfect for our needs, Matt helped us put together a winning bid, which beat multiple other competitive offers. Matt patently explained all of the factors we needed to consider (in addition to price), and then helped shepherd us through the process until the sale closes."
