Matt was exremely helpful to us. With his help we were able to find a home within our budget that we were happy with. He worked hard negotiating on our behalf and communicated with us explaining what we had to do each step of the way. He answered all of
our questions and explained things in a clear and understandable way. We were able to find a house and close on it within a short period of time. He was friendly and took the time to get to know us. Based on our experience working with Matt we would highly
recommend him to help you find the home you are looking for!

He was helpful at every turn couldn’t be more happy
Matt was attentive to every detail and thorough in our negotiations
Matt determined the best price to list it at and we recvd. an offer at the asking price from the second family who looked at it and closed before the end of July!
The photographer did an amazing job too! I highly recommend Matt & the team at Next Home Realty

Matt did a fabulous job. Because if his knowledge of construction we were able to comprehend the issues raised by the home inspection and deal w them. Highly recommended!
Matt is an outstanding agent and a great guy. We met him as a selling agent on a house about two years ago. Coming from a renovation background his attention to detail while walking through s property was very helpful. As a first time buyer and dealing
a market that was absolutely ridiculous Matt helped guide us through to find the right property after years of looking. Matt’s professionalism was top notch and he went above and beyond, even giving local recommendations for contractors. I highly recommend
him as an agent.
It’s hard to even put into words how skilled Matt is at his job. Entering into this process for the first time in 22 years was quite intimidating. From the very beginning of the process he put our minds at ease that he would guide us through each step
and he totally lived up to that promise. His knowledge, experience and patience were far above any expectations that we could have had. Not sure we could have gotten through this without you, thanks so much Matt. The rating system for this site needs to be
changed because a mere 5 stars isn’t enough for someone of this caliber! Don’t hesitate for a second if you are lucky enough to have Matt on your team.

Matt is a GREAT agent and person. I called him many times to look at multiple houses, until we found the right one for my family. Without hesitation he was would say we can look at it the day I called. Some houses he said this may not be right, (because
of the work needed done). To me he seemed to have our best interest at heart. Would work with him again if need to, But I found the house with pretty much everything I wanted. So with that said hopefully I wont need him in the future. But would highly recommend
him. Thanks again Matt
Matt was just what I needed. I think the reason I went with Matt was because of his demeanor, very patient with everything, understanding and very professional!

Like all our previous acquisitions together, Mr. Heikkinen was exceptional in every way. His lengthy and diverse background in all things real estate, especially investments, continues to pay off for our private equity group. He identifies potential long
term rentals that are optimal money-makers and negotiates on our behalf quite successfully. I look forward to the next one Matt finds and handles for us!
This was my first house I purchased. Matt made this journey so smooth. I felt so comfortable and assured that I was making the right decision. I have moved in my house and finally took a deep breath and realized what a great real estate agent. I had to
get me where I am today. If you want professional service, I suggest that you use Matt.
Matt was wonderful every step of the way!!! This was my first time taking on the adventure of buying a home on my own. Matt was very professional, courteous, and attentive. His vast knowledge of the process was indeed helpful!!! He kept me informed about
all that was going on, and helped to ease my anxieties!!! I would most definitely recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy a home!!!! Thank you for a great experience!!!

Matt was great he stuck with us through the whole process and was there to answer any questions or fix any issues we had. I would recommend Matt to anyone that is thinking of buying a house. Great work Matt!
Matt did a superior job as a realtor. Not only was he able to find a home that is located in the right neighborhood with the right qualifications at the right price, but was able to do so in an expedient manner. His experience with flipping homes, construction
practices, contract knowledge, and network of related professionals proved to be indispensable assets. My only regret is that I did not happen upon his services sooner.
Matt is very good at what he does and is a great person. He helped me with every step along the way with finding a home. Also, made me and my family feel comfortable and welcome. He did a great job im happy to have him as a realtor and friend.
If your looking to buy a house, Matt is the person for you. He was always there for me. I could call or text him at anytime of the day. Matt’s friendly personality made this transaction go quite smoothly. Sincerely, Barbara Frank
I found Matt to be a professional, knowledgeable, experienced and caring. Everything a person like me as a buyer would want in a realtor. He is the best and I will recommend to services to anyone. In a word he was outstanding. Thank you Matt!
Matt was great! Professional, knowledgeable, and patient.
I recently bought a condo and Matt was my realtor. He was extremely helpful throughout the sale and I don’t believe I could’ve done it without him. He was always there to answer my questions and he save me a lot of money I would highly recommend Matt to
sell my house.Thank you Matt for all of your help
The Realtor You Choose Does Make A Difference!!!! We were (& still are) thrilled with Matt Heikkinen in the NEO/WPA area. With Matt we sold for more than we expected vs having tried with a diff realtor who botched a much lower offer in a 2.5 month debacle.
Not only did Matt guide our process in a realistic, friendly, fair, and efficient manner, he answered our Qs quickly, was pro-active with our offers, and sharp about the nuaunces of the deals.... yes offers and deals.... Matt brought us 4 offers before the
end of the first week we were signed with him !!! I especially love that Matt understands that we don't get the full process, so he clears out the noise and lets us focus on just the important elements. Matt's background with both residential and commercial
real estate gives his clients a double advantage. I am so so so glad we connected with Matt. Thank you Matt!
This wasn’t my first time purchasing a house, but it was the first time I have ever seen a realtor so involved and knowledgeable in every aspect. Matt is very personable, makes himself available day or night. His knowledge from lending to construction
have made possibilities endless. He oversees the entire process never leaving your side. I highly recommend Matt.
!! What A Difference The Realtor Makes... and Matt has made the world of difference for us!! From being efficient, responsive, clear and forthright, Matt has impressed us time and time again. Making things happen, staying on top of changes, and guiding
us with keen insight and experience, Matt has made us feel comfortable and confident in our choice of signing with him. He walks us through each step of the process in a thoughtful way. I will never again need to tell someone I don't have a good realtor to
recommend ~ Matt comes highly recommended!
