Matthew Ma
Were very happy with our real estate agent Matthew Ma. He helped us with the sale of our investment property. He explained in detail the real estate sales process, went through all paperwork thoroughly, analyzed market trends in suggesting sales price, took care of cleaning, photography, and staging the property, and helped us review the option of doing 1031 exchange and loan. He recommended us to talk to our CPA and 1031 exchange lawyer before making final decisions in fund allocation after sales. He is very patient and wanted us to be comfortable with all our decisions. We certainly will continue using him again as our realtor for our future real estate transactions.
- S. G. - San Francisco (Yelp! 04/01/14)Matthew has been a great agent. He recently helped us complete a 1031 exchange within the tight timeframe required for this kind of property purchase. Even after we bought the house, he still followed up with us every so often to make sure we were able to rent out each of the units. He gave us tips on how to get a good price for the rent and also helped us with the Craigslist posting. He is very thorough and works very hard to help his clients. He truly goes over and beyond his responsibilities.
- Sharon L. - San Francisco (Yelp! 01/15/14)Matt was pretty helpful and quick to respond during the bidding process and worked hard to get my bid accepted. He also helped me with the loan and is very informed about the rates. He watches them everyday and tries to give you the most information for you to make a decision.
- Alice L. - San Francisco (Yelp! 10/28/13)Matt is a true professional real estate agent. He helped me with 1031 exchange to purchase my multi-unit investment property. Hes hard working, patient and always watches out for my best interest. He really took the time to understand my finance situation, the type of property desired and find the right property for me. With his superior negotiation skills, I got a great price for my purchase. He also followed through closely with all inspections afterwards. Very pleased with his service and professionalism. I would recommend him for anyone who is looking to buy, sell or 1031 exchange of properties.
- G. G. - San Francisco (Yelp! 09/17/13)Matt just helped us purchased our first home! He is not just an agent, but an amazing real estate professional. He gives wise advice on the locations, the market, the interest rates, and the ins and outs of the entire purchase process. He also gives us tips on improvements that would increase the value of the house, and recommendations on contractors and building supplies companies.Matt responds very quickly to phone calls and emails. He makes all documents digital sign-able which makes it a lot easier for both of us to get the documents sign at any place any time.We just started using Matt recently and the two bids we placed with him were all got accepted. He works hard for his clients in terms of communication with the seller to get their offer accepted. We also used Matt to do our loan as well and he helped us got the best rate possible. He watches the interest rate closely and has his own analysis to track the rate to make sure he helps his client lock at the best rate.After closing, Matt is still working with us now to help on ideas of remodeling. His recommendations on contractors gives us the best quotes and are doing great jobs on our house.Matt is incredibly good at what he does, extremely patient, and a pleasure to work with.
- Vicki H. - San Francisco (Yelp! 08/08/13)Matthew was not only professional but personable, communicative, and very friendly. Purchasing a house is a huge investment, and we were fortunate enough to have Matthew by our side and walk us through step by step, offering suggestions, different perspectives, and honest answers without feeling neither pressured nor swayed. No matter how busy he was, he always made us feel like we were his top priority. My husband and I both have very busy schedules and he was great about scheduling meetings or showings that would work for us. Basically he would go above and beyond to make the situation work. He really knows the real estate business inside and out and you always feel like hes on your side. He takes all factors into account (financial and lifestyle) and explained everything in detail from loan qualification, to inspection, to improvement recommendations and estimated costs. I would be happy to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.Not only did Matthew help us to buy our home, he helped us with our loan. Matthew made this whole transaction happen. Under tight deadlines and with several obstacles. Throughout the entire process he was responsive and professional, making sure I received the best possible loan rate. Matthew took the time to explain everything with patience.
- J. C. - San Francisco (Yelp! 07/22/13)Matt Ma once again does a fantastic job as a Realtor! This time he helped us refinance our home in what seemed like just a matter of days, only requiring a few signatures!He helped lowered our mortgage to below apartment rental rates!! So, the same great home from the previous review, now costing less than a 2 bedroom apartment in my area!This guys knows what hes doing.
- Matthew K. - Tracy (04/10/14)Matthew is great. He helped us with a 1031 exchange. He follows up with every detail while we were selling our house, even with things that we did not realize we had to do. He made the process very smooth and seamless. All the paperwork was taken care of by Matthew. All we had to do was sign after his thorough explanations. We had many questions and called him often, but he was always very prompt in returning our calls and very patient with us.We are currently looking for the new house and Matthew has worked tirelessly to help us look for good investments. He knows what we want and has made many efforts to find good properties for us to see. We hope to find the best property soon!
- Erica L. - San Francisco (Yelp! 10/07/13)I normally dont write reviewsActually this is the first YELP review since many years ago. Matt helped us refi two very very very complicated loans with a genuine heart and no hesitation. Great work on his end and I would recommend him to others out there, especially if you have a complicated one like mine. Quick to response and helpful in every aspect. Looking forward ..future transaction with Matt.
- Thuy L. - San Francisco (Yelp! 06/29/13)This guy is as good as it gets. Matt worked with us diligently and quickly and provided extraordinary service with great results. We were able to secure an incredible locked refi rate with no fees outside of the appraisal fee. Many of the fliers and junk-mail we got promised the same thing, but the fees were still there just built into the loan, which ultimately we would have to pay for. Matt was transparent and efficient so we knew exactly what we were getting and what we were paying.
- Kanji K. - Chula Vista (Yelp! 06/20/13)I was very impressed by Matthews knowledge of the San Francisco area housing market. As a first time home buyer, he was very responsive and genuine to my many questions and works within the parameters you give him. He has the clients interest in mind and goes above and beyond in order to meet your needs. Im glad to have found a realtor who lets you know if he feels something wont meet your long term goal and provides helpful advice about mortgages, contractors, etc. He helped me close a house successfully after much back and forth from the bank. Overall I find Matthews professionalism, knowledge, responsiveness, and integrity one of the best to find in a realtor! I highly recommend him as an real estate agent and will work with him again on other real estate endeavors.
- Yolanda G. - San Francisco (Yelp! 03/12/13)We did a loan refinance with Matthew and was very happy we did. He is very knowledgeable and helped us make the right decision. All of our questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. Matthew watch the interest for us daily and informed us of any important changes. We definitely recommend Matthew.
- Kit L. - San Francisco (Yelp! 03/03/13)Matt helped us with our refinancing and I couldnt have asked for a better broker! He was always quick in is responses, and provided us with all the information we need to make the right decision. We originally didnt even think about refinancing until Matt showed us what a good rate we can get at this time. Hes very diligent in his work and helped us watch for the best rate on a daily basis before we locked it in.The whole process was very efficient, quick, and painless (which refinancing can often be). We are very happy with our new rate and new mortgage payment thanks to Matt.
- Lily L. - Daly City (Yelp! 11/19/12)I had a hard time renting out my investment property. I took some pictures and posted them online myself but no one was interested. Fortunately Matthew offered to helped me take some pictures. That is beyond the job responsibilities of a real estate agent and it shows you how great Matthew really is! The pictures looked very professional. With Matthews help, my property was rented in no time.
- Kit L. - San Francisco (Yelp! 05/05/11)I LOVE MY NEW HOME! Its big, its quiet, its beautiful and its YOUNG!When we found the house, WE KNEW it was the one. With 12 other offers on the table, the things Matthew taught us allowed us to swoop in and make the BEST offer for this house. They accepted our offer and we went through short sale torture to get this house. More than 6 months from when our offer was accepted to when we got the keys.We made it through and now we are living in our new home, All thanks to Matthew Ma. Even though we did not purchase a home in Matthews direct area, he was there for us as an advocate to help us make the best decisions and submit the strongest offer.
- Matthew K. - Tracy, CA (Yelp! 07/06/10)Matt is a true professional and an overall great guy. He made the search for my first home easy and smooth. I didnt know anything about the process of buying a home but Matt took me through the entire process and made it as simple as possible. His great working relationship with the mortgage broker and the title company was very important. This team found me a great home, got me an outstanding interest rate on my loan, and closed the deal in about 30 days!Matt displayed the knowledge and compassion that I was looking for in an agent. He will go the extra mile to assist you even after the sale is complete. He works very hard for his clients and is very committed to helping them find the perfect home for the best price. I would highly recommend him if youre planning on buying a home.
- Wesley T. - South San Francisco (Yelp! 06/11/10)We tried working with a few real estate agents prior to using Matthew. Other agents did not show us the patience needed for first time home buyers. They did not seem to take us seriously and our opinion did not matter as much as it should have. Purchasing your first home can be a stressful event and not having your realtor on your side can seem like a nightmare. Matthew put our worries to rest and helped us along our purchase of our first home.When we started the process of purchasing our first house we were both extremely nervous. We had countless questions throughout the whole process and Matthew answered them with extreme detail. Morning or night he was always reachable and very prompt with informative answers to our numerous questions. He was very patient with us, making sure we understood every aspect of our long and difficult escrow. We never felt rushed into making a decision. We learned a lot about the home purchasing process.Matthew showed us many different homes. He provided us with a lot of data about the area, and recent sales in the neighborhood that we were shopping for. He has vast amounts of resources including current market trends and comparable. He is extremely hard working and thorough. He is on the ball when it comes to making sure to provide thorough and detailed information to make all the important decisions. During the four month long escrow, Matthew was definitely great to work with through all our ups and downs. He had as much patience with us by the end of escrow as he did when we first started our home search. He offered lots of recommendations but always respected our needs and interest. We felt very comfortable buying our first home with Matthew.Not only is he extremely knowledgeable in the real estate market, but he has a good understanding of finance, strategy and customer service. Matthew went beyond the normal real estate agent recommendations and helped with the many different financing programs and found us a loan that fit our needs. Matthew did a marvelous job negotiating a great purchasing price for our home. His impeccable negotiation skills saved us thousands of dollars. He was able to get a lot of fees waived for us. He helped bring a distant dream to a present reality.We definitely recommend Matthew and will use him again.
- Kit L. - San Francisco (Yelp! 10/25/09)Matt is a true professional. Throughout the search/bid process, Matt was extremely helpful in providing important information like loan rates, comparable prices, and remodeling ideas. He was genuinely interested in looking for a house that fit my needs and not just any house. The thing that I appreciated about Matt the most was how responsive he was. Whether by call/text/email, he was always reachable. This proved crucial, since I was new to the process and had tons of questions.
- Johnny L. - San Francisco (Yelp! 03/20/14)Matt was very patient and realistic with us. We put down about 5 offers since 2013 and had a hard time with some sellers but Matt was always optimistic about things and kept us positive. We just wanted to purchase a house but Matt is the one who dealt with the crazy sellers demands in this ridiculous market. Matt always gave us ideas about investment possibilities in each house we were interested in but was never too pushy. Just offered conjecture. He has a lot of knowledge of the areas we were interested in so that made it much easier as well. Thanks Matt!
- Chris Y. - San Francisco (Yelp! 03/15/14)Matthew Ma is an experienced and seasoned Realtor who assisted me in my first home purchase. He is extremely familiar with the areas I was interested in around San Francisco and can provide options based on your specific needs. Being a first time home buyer, he was patient in explaining the full process and the different steps involved in purchasing a home (placing an offer, loans and documentation, and closing process). With his professional customer service and real estate tools, I felt prepared and ready for the complex process of purchasing a home. He made me feel confident that I selected the best home and made me well informed every step of the way. I highly recommend Matthew Ma to my friends and colleagues as an experienced, professional, and dedicated real estate agent who will look after your best interest.
