Matthew took over for another Redfin agent (who was transitioning to a different role) towards the end of our transaction. The transition between agents was smooth and did not disrupt or delay our closing.
Matthew was responsive to our emails and always available to discuss questions over the phone. We felt he understood our requests/positions and was an effective advocate on our behalf.
When he took over our file, he recognized that we had not yet received Form 17, which was our legal right, and was able to secure it in a timely manner.

Matthew did a good job of handling all of the admin matters of our transactions and made good suggestions in this area. Ultimately we bought a house we really love and he did a great job helping us negotiate repairs when unexpected items popped up. The challenge for us in the experience really lies more in redfin's buying process than Matthew specifically. We didn't really feel like we had an agent who understood us as buyers and could suggest/advocate for us. It was nice to have the flexibility of touring whenever we wanted, but as this was with a different agent almost every time, we didn't feel we could discuss comparisons in houses we had toured. We also didn't have any 'suggestions' of houses from agents, which would have been very helpful for us. All of the agents were very... Show More
We were so lucky to have worked with Matthew. As first-time home buyers in a really hot market, we were pretty anxious about the whole process. When we found a house we loved that happened to be a foreclosure, our anxiety doubled! Matthew was so patient with my husband and me and our INSANE number of phone calls and emails. We depended on his thorough knowledge of the market, took his advice when he offered it, and it paid off! Our very first offer ended up being accepted, which in Portland is practically unheard of! I truly believe that a lot of our success was due to working with Matthew, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Matthew was great. We first met him while attending one of Redfin's first time home buyer classes. He was quick to answer any questions we had, always available when needed and we're confident he had our best interests in mind. Couldn't ask for a better agent to have on our side. Overall an excellent experience.

Fantastic, always helpful, responded quickly and courteously to all questions, emails, phone calls. Matthew was great to work with, as was his colleague, Jenn. Thank you, Matthew.
Excellent information about the bid process and options. Very good at connecting buyers with options for lenders, construction bids etc. Easy to reach

We purchased our house while living out of state and he made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process.

Matthew was a wonderful guide to every step of the home buying process! He was great in recommending homes for us to view, and coaching us through how to make an aggressive and great looking offer (which is pretty much a must in SE Portland). Once we had an accepted offer, Matthew helped us with getting the home inspected and keeping us up-to-date on all the papers we had to sign. When the home needed some repairs, he provided recommendations and helped set up appointments. He even helped us negotiate a credit for an out-of-sight repair! The best thing about Matthew was his availability. I had a ton of questions throughout the process and he was always a quick text message, call or email away. He was always prompt and helpful with his responses, which really helped calm my nerves... Show More

Matthew worked with us every step of the way, through seeing dozens of homes to making 5 offers. Having lost one house while under contract, he continued to help us find an even better home, and we couldn't be happier with how we ended up. He was communicative, knowledgable, forthright and compassionate throughout. Never did we feel he was pressuring us to do anything, but that we should do what we felt was right. I would (and have) highly recommend Matthew and the whole Redfin team to anyone looking for a home in Portland.

I am not generally a man of superlatives, and yet it would be hard to overstate Matthew Brennan's competence, friendliness, and attentiveness when it came to my first foray into the wide and often wacky world of real estate. At every stage in this house-buying dance, I was overwhelmingly confident that Matthew had my back and could/would go to bat for me. His affable nature built quick and strong inroads with the many parties involved in the purchase of my home, and he was always extremely responsive to my battery of relatively ignorant first-time homebuyer questions. Matthew has also built an amazing team, and my various interactions with Terry, Jennifer, and Kimberley were also unfailingly pleasant and insightful.

He was honest about which houses he thought were the right fit for us, he was knowledgeable about the places we looked at and the amount of work involved to update them. When we found the right house, he made a perfect recommendation on what to offer to get the house. We left for our honeymoon soon after we got our offer accepted, and Matt encouraged us to get all our paperwork ready before we left to make things smooth. He kept us updated over email throughout the process while we were out of the country and responded very quickly to any questions we had.

We had been working with a traditional real estate agent for about 6 months and were so frustrated with the pressure, disorganization, and obvious self-interest of the agent. We decided to try Redfin and met Matthew. His attention to detail, professionalism, and advocacy in working toward OUR goals were obvious right off the bat. He was quick to respond to questions, thorough, knowledgable, organized, and gave us invaluable advice for this stressful market.

My home buying experience was unusually drawn out and difficult. I was buying an unusual property from a trust, at one point financing fell through, the sellers were non responsive, and the lender kept pushing back the closing date and requiring additional documentation. Throughout the entire process Matthew was super patient, he kept me updated and informed as to the status of my purchase, and he remained cool and calm while dealing with sellers that were not exactly the easiest or most pleasant to work with. I am a first time buyer, and he did an amazing job getting me the house I really wanted. When I chose my dream house, he made me think long and hard about if I really wanted to take on the amount of work and expense that comes with a very old house on acreage... and once I decided...

Matthew is simultaneously easy going/relaxed and 100% proactive, on-top-of-it, type A. Working with him was awesome. He kept us in the loop every step of the way and always responded quickly when we had a question. A++ would buy again. (Except not really bc the market is insane ,and we really only need one house, but if we needed another, I'd call him first!)

What do I even say about this guy? Totally helpful every step of the way, gave insightful recommendations, communicated absolutely everything we needed to know in a beyond timely fashion, made sure we didn't feel lost or stressed, and consistently checked in to see if we had questions about anything from paperwork to inspections. Our first home buying process was painless and easy and it is all due to Matthew (and a special shoutout to our mortgage company). I wouldn't hesitate to refer friends/family to him or to contact him again in the future if needed. A wonderful, friendly guy that clearly cares about his clients. You're awesome, Matthew!

Matthew was highly recommended from a friend who said that his insight helped him get his house. Our high expectations were matched and exceeded. As advertised Matthew offered detailed insight into the property and gave us what turned out to be good advice that got us accepted on our first initial offer. We very appreciative of how helpful and responsive he was all the way through some unexpected ups and downs throughout the process. He was quick to respond and on top of everything, always making sure we knew what to expect at each step from financing through inspections and final negotiations. We feel incredibly lucky to have had Matthew on our side through this process. He also happens to be a really nice guy and was a pleasure to work with. We are definitely inviting him to our house...

Matthew provided excellent service from beginning to end of our home purchase process. He gave expert guidance through all steps of the process. He communicated frequently via our preferred method so we were never left wondering about progress. He was available at all times and was able to coordinate with a colleague while he was out of town so we didn't miss a beat. He was proactive with coordinating between all the different parties and kept everyone on schedule. We highly recommend Matthew!

Matthew is a great guy to work with. I've already recommended him to 3 other friends. He's calm and friendly, knowledgeable, well-connected, honest (he recommended we not buy a place that we really liked at first walk-through, pointing out that the 'renovated' house was a case of 'lipstick on a pig' after discovering rotted floors tiled over, back of the garage had a dramatically warped wall while the inside wall had been quickly made to look flat, etc.). He's always quick to respond to calls and texts and keeps you well-informed about what's going on in your deal, what to do next, and what your options are. He's a great listener to your perspective and an excellent communicator (as good listeners often are). Awesome real estate agent.
I am a pretty tough grader on these surveys. I don't believe in giving people top marks unless they deserve it. That said, Matthew was on top of every step in the home buying process. He was always available (even late in the evening), never caught off guard and always anticipating the next step. He knew what we were looking for and made it happen. We would not be buying a house right now if not for him. He went above and beyond for us and we would heartily recommend him. We wish all agents were this good!

The Portland market is crazy right now, but Matt was somehow able to lend a bit of calm sanity to the whole process. He was extremely patient with our endless questions and worries (this was our first time buying a home), and also very quick to respond to any emails/phone-calls we sent his way. He was thorough and professional, but also able to bring a sense of humor to the often overwhelming processes. We couldn't have done it without him!

We liked Matthew straight off. He is easy going and comfortable to deal with. He had good feedback on houses we viewed and caught things that we had missed, making him a valued adviser. Once we had a signed contract, Matthew checked in with us periodically to let us know what to expect next, right through the closing. He made the entire process clear and easy and we feel fortunate to have met him.

We were more than impressed with Matthew's help on the purchase of our first home! As first time home buyers we had little knowledge on the process in purchasing a house. Matthew was there throughout the entire experience, with answers to any question or concern that we had. Throughout our search, he was not afraid to tell us if he thought a home was not the right one for us, even when we thought it was. Because of his honesty and willingness to get to know us, we were capable of finding the right home for us! His knowledge of the market and strategy to provide a strong and competitive offer was essential to our home buy. Our offer was accepted in a multiple offer situation, thanks to Matthew's guidance and suggestions. We couldn't be happier with getting to work with Matthew and would... Show More

I cannot recommend Matthew highly enough. He quickly understood our needs, and went above and beyond through every step of the process to make sure we found a house that was a great match for us. He sent us suggestions from the website that we might have missed. If we were interested in putting a bid on a house that we toured with another agent, Matthew would go tour the house on his own just to be able to give us a second opinion. After placing a bid, he followed up with the realtor to develop a relationship and advocate for our bid. When a problem came up in inspection, Matthew negotiated with the sellers to cover the cost of fixing it. He is enormously knowledgeable, and managed to peer/climb into every nook of every house we visited to identify potential problems. I have utmost... Show More

I have 14 years of experience in the real estate industry. I've seen my share of mediocre and downright awful agents. I also recognize an excellent agent when I see one. Matthew Brennan is an excellent agent. He was very attentive throughout the entire process, quickly honing in on what was most important to us in a home and neighborhood. He constantly sent us suggestions for listings we may have overlooked on our home tours, as well as links to useful web sites. On home tours, he would arm himself with his trusty flashlight and poke his head into every nook of a house, searching for potential structural issues. Once we were ready to make an offer on a home, Matthew was indispensable in successfully guiding us through a multiple-offer situation. During the inspections and repair... Show More
