Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
I would personally like to thank Matt for his overall help during the selling of our home. Selling a home can be stressful. Even with the parts of it that the unavoidable stress may kick it you still put us at ease. I value how you involved us when needed and handled the behind the scenes stuff more than our previous realtor in the past. Despite the minor hiccups overall I feel that this process was very smooth. I’m hoping we set the bar high with beating your showings record (56 was it?) We wish you nothing but the best and you can consider this letter my firm hand shake and thank you for your help in this process. We would recommend your services in a heartbeat to friends and family in the future.

I would highly recommend Matt Barker. I live 240 miles away from the Estate house in Maple Grove I was trying to sell. Matt took care of everything. He met me at the house, did a walk through, coordinated his 'stagger' person to be there that the same time. They spent 4 hours staging the house exactly how they wanted it to. House looked awesome and we had a tremendous amount of showings in a very short time. 2 months worth of showing in the first 10 days. We received an acceptable offer a short time later even with the Corona Virus going on.
Matt's staff are just like him. Honest, caring, hard working, and easy to communicate with.
I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

In the end, I chose Matt because he was the only broker I talked to who actually has an evidence-based plan for monitoring feedback and making decisions about price, offers, etc. These data were incredibly important to us as we decided how to market the property.
After having chosen Matt, I then became aware that he's a GREAT and very service-focused broker. I came for the evidence plan and stayed because Matt is very dedicated to client service. The sale was logistically difficult (Covid didn't help) but Matt patiently and insightfully guided me through the decisions we had to make to get the property sold. I am EXTREMELY impressed by how hard he worked to make sure I got the best price I could. I feel very lucky to have worked with a broker as great as Matt!

Matt met all of our critical and important needs. We brought Matt in over 10 months prior to listing our house to ensure we were working with someone on the same page as we were, and to give us advice on how best to prepare and stage our unique home for sale. As a result we were fully aligned on the timing and the vision as we proceeded. Matt had Tara come to the house very early in our preparation process, which REALLY helped put the project plan and timing in place to prepare our home for sale. This was critical for us to attain our desired timeline.
The marketing package Matt and his team put together for our home was outstanding. We took pictures and a drone video in the Fall when everything was in full bloom and then updated them in the Spring prior to listing. The pics, video and 3D tour were phenomenal and enabled us to totally showcase our home virtually, communicating through pictures the way we actually lived and what we enjoyed so much about our home and property.
We would highly recommend Matt Barker and his team to anyone, but especially to those who have a need for stellar marketing.

Matt Barker exceeded my expectations for selling my home during a pandemic! I appreciate the cohesive team approach, where I communicate with Matt as the key point person and he works with his team to ensure they reach out to me to complete all the other aspects of the sale from start to finish.
I recommend Matt because he is a great communicator, doesn’t over promise, and always delivers.

Matt called me soon after my internet request. I did not get a call from a telemarketing screener but from Matt personally. I know he is a very busy guy but he always took plenty of time.
As I reviewed each characteristic, I tried to not have all excellent marks. But, I realized Matt did excel in all of them. I have done many surveys over the years and this is the first that a good rating would have felt too low.
Staci did an excellent job also. We had a couple of small glitches but they got fixed quickly and accurately. With all the closings at the end of the month and Covid doing its thing, she kept ahead of schedule and closing was ready early and completed on time.
As an out of town seller for an estate, I didn't know how to price the home. I had communicated with several buyers and agents. After talking with Matt and looking at his marketing numbers, it gave me the confidence to list the home at a much higher price than I thought. Matt was right! We had many showings and offers and a signed contract on the 4th day.

I felt comfortable with Matt Barker as our realtor because my brother has worked with Matt on several occasions. Matt proved to be the perfect fit for us to sell our dads condominium. He was honest, open, supportive and professional. He came to meet us at the condominium and was willing to “mask up” because of Covid. He suggested the marketing strategy and kept in good communication. I am very pleased with the results.
All excellent! Will be calling on Matt Barker the next time we are looking for a realtor. The condominium looked beautiful in the pictures. Lionheart (recommended by Matt) was easy to work with and designed the unit wonderfully.
I would definitely recommend Matt Barker to friends and family. He made the process of selling our dad’s condominium much easier even during Covid! He was knowledgeable in the process, pricing, marketing and negotiating. Matt was professional, honest and very understanding of the decisions my brother and I had to make for our dad. I really can not think of anything to change with the process of selling the condo. So blessed. Thanks again Matt!
