Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
Matt Barker was fantastic to work with. He is super knowledgeable and I always felt like our best interests were being put first. The marketing plan for our house went above and beyond, and I know our house was listed where todays buyers are searching. Further, Matt had the data to show that the plan was getting the desired results. I can't recommend Matt and the team at Barker Hedges enough!

It was a pleasure working with Matt. He was very professional & respectful and gave us a wide berth to make our own decisions - Matt was never pushy or fake. The selling process can be a roller coaster of emotion so you need someone calm, steady and knowledgeable like Matt in your corner. Thanks for everything!

Matt was extremely helpful and knowledgable of all aspects of the sale of our old house and the purchasing of our current home. Our situation was a bit unique because we were moving because of a negative relationship with a neighbor and Matt helped us navigate everything that came with that: he guided us through the neighbor demanding easements, having property disputes, attempting to weaponize animal control and the police against us, trying to take part in the sale of our house, impeding the sale of our house, scaring off buyers, etc.., which resulted in us getting restraining orders. It was an extremely challenging time and Matt acted as a rock for us even when we knew that our situation was asking him to go above and beyond. Our situation made us feel like a burden and Matt and his team made us feel otherwise. We are very satisfied and wouldn't consider hiring anyone other than Matt and his team to help us in the future, though distant future since we are very satisfied with our current location.

Matt Barker is an amazing negotiator. He was able to get amazing results for us with the sale of our home. We ended up selling for 20,000 over asking price. When our buyer came up with a list of demands after the inspection that would have been impossible for anyone to meet, he helped talk the buyer down. We only had to do a reasonable amount of repairs from the long list because of Matt's calm, reasonable, and inarguable demeanor. He also helped us navigate an incredibly stressful legal property dispute with a unstable and very entitled neighbor who was bent on sabotaging the sale of our home. Matt helped us every step of the way with real estate lawyer recommendations, calming our fears, and being available whenever questions came up. He was our rock during this incredibly stressful legal battle.

Matt Barker was prompt in responses, created a marketing plan that his team executed as laid out. He was knowledgeable about the value of our home compared to those in the area, and did his research prior to meeting with us. I would recommend Matt due to his reliability and expertise within the real estate market arena.

Had a lot of anxiety yet Matt and his team were so amazing and built full trust throughout with stellar communication and comprehensive support from beginning to end. We felt valued and cared for from the moment the process began through the sale.
Tara’s consulting allowed us to have the house photo ready. Heather’s knowledge, sensible advice, and insightful feedback helped us move from talking about selling the house to SOLD! Could not have sold the house without them!!
My husband is recently retired and we had a lot of worries on our plate when this all began. Matt and his team are beyond consummate professionals, they are heaven sent!! Raving fans of Matt Barker!!

We selected Matt over the other Brokers that we met with because of the analytical approach that he took towards selecting a listing price, the comprehensive marketing strategy that was included for the the commission, and his experience. We also appreciated that he made us feel confident in our listing, but did not oversell us or make it seem like the sale was a given. There were other brokers who took this approach because of the current market, which made us question the level of effort they would put into getting us the most money for our house.

We bought our first home with Matt over a decade ago. Returning to him to help with the sale of this home and purchasing our next home was a no brainer. He was patient, well-versed on the market, and offered us helpful guidance when it came to preparing our home for sale. He tolerated our rambunctious 2 year old as well, which was a bonus! We have strong trust in Matt and offer our highest recommendation without reservation.

I was so impressed with Matt and his fast and competitive work towards the house when we found the one we wanted. He immediately pounced on it and was very good at getting us to where we needed fast. And that meant working at night and into the weekend. That kind of support does not go unseen or overlooked. You could tell his relationship with Bill (onward) and then his experience as a realtor was the only way we got the house of our dreams in this current state of chaos. We live in a beautiful house and sold our house at a high price as a direct result working with Matt and Brandon. And most importantly I trust them with their expertise. Their humor. People that you know would be your friends if you could be as cool as them
