I recently had the pleasure of working with Matt as my home selling agent, and it was the second time since he became my home buying agent for the same property. I can't say enough good things about the experience. From start to finish, Matt demonstrated his expertise, dedication, and commitment to helping me achieve the best possible outcome. First and foremost, Matt's accuracy in estimating the value of my property was nothing short of impressive. He priced it wisely and precisely, which not only attracted potential buyers but also ensured that I received a fair market value for my home. His in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market truly shone through in this aspect. What truly sets Matt apart is his exceptional level of responsiveness. He was always just a phone call or text message away, ready to answer any questions or address any concerns I had. Matt's commitment to keeping me informed throughout the selling process gave me peace of mind and confidence in his abilities. But Matt went above and beyond in more ways than one. His dedication to getting my property ready for listing, from staging advice to professional photography, was instrumental in making my home stand out in the market. His attention to detail and willingness to put in the extra effort made all the difference. Beyond the professional aspects of our relationship, Matt has become a true friend. His genuine, caring nature and willingness to go the extra mile made the home selling process not just successful but enjoyable. I always felt like he had my best interests at heart.

Being new to the area Matt was referred to us by one of my new colleagues and I'm so glad we had a chance to work with him. Matt is an exceptional agent and I would give him my highest recommendation. He got to know us as a couple, our needs verses wants, our must-haves verses our like-to-haves and made great city/neighborhood recommendations based on our budget, social life and interests. He was engaging, never made us feel rushed, answered all of our questions and continuously followed up with us during the entire process. If you are in the market for an agent ... look no further.

I highly recommend Matt! I feel like agents or brokers can be very intimidating, but I never felt judged or rushed by Matt, despite my inexperience. He really wants you to be happy and it is very refreshing. His wealth of knowledge in the market is also impressive!

With Matt Rabb as your realtor, youre on your way to boosting serotonin and living a healthier stress free life. Seriously. He got my house leased in January at the most unlikely time. In each step of the process from arranging beautiful photos to lease details I wouldnt have thought about, Matt had my interests forefront. Hes creative, pragmatic, communicative; returning calls immediately. I trust his opinion and instincts. Hes smart, experienced, cheerful and a pleasure to engage with. Thank you Matt!

I can?t say enough about the great service we got from Matt. He helped us purchase 2 homes recently. He was so efficient and always had answers for our questions. He was very knowledgeable about the area. He always followed through and had everything done quickly and accurately. He was always available ( even when he was on vacation ) to take our calls and promptly answered texts. We were so impressed with his service, he always had our best interests in mind. We will always use him for our real estate needs and highly recommend him.

Matt was responsive and thorough in our home purchasing journey. He paid attention to what we wanted and worked through some tricky details with us. He had creative suggestions to increase the appeal of our offers and was aware of how the market was moving.

I not only recommend, but encourage you to engage Matt Raab as your real estate agent. Heres why: whether you are new to buying/selling property, or youve been around the block a few times, I guarantee youll never have a better experience. Ive bought and sold 7 properties since 2012, both personal properties and investment rentals. Im no stranger to problems. But this time, stress was never part of the equation. We achieved much more than just our goals-actually reinventing our retirement, and it was seamless. Matt is a dedicated professional, with incomparable communication and customer service skills. He has what it takes and he gives it all every moment he is working for you. He is like an Energizer Bunny, he never stops until he gets results. Did I mention he is engaging, considerate, and funny? If you can believe that relocating to a new town (at 63) and everything that entails, could be fun, believe me: Matt kept it fun. Now more than ever, you need a real estate agent who lives and breathes the business and is authentic and principled. Matt is this person. When we decided that 36 years in Santa Maria was enough, and we now want to enjoy our new granddaughter in Santa Barbara, there was a Manufactured Home to buy and a beautiful gated property to sell. Instead of being a scary nightmare-downsizing and whatnot-Matt made it a fun and exciting adventure. If you dont believe me, take a minute to read through the testimonials of his other clients. I did. Everything you need to know about Matt has already been said. Matt, you have our utmost respect and sincerest gratitude. Thank you, The Van Valkenburghs (formerly of Santa Maria).

We could not recommend Matt more! As first time home buyers, we were quite frankly flying blind and admittedly anxious when it came to what this entire process would look like. Matts knowledge, transparency, and organization made the entire experience as stress free and frictionless as I could have imagined. Any questions or concerns were addressed or dispelled immediately, with special attention to also explaining the why behind any course of action we were taking. His procedural recommendations and predictions during the entire process were not only accurate, but truly showed us that he was wholeheartedly invested in helping our growing family achieve our goal of home ownership as quickly and smoothly as possible. I can say with confidence that he was not only our representative in the process, but truly our advocate. We cant imagine finding someone more professional, informed, empathetic or well connected to handle our homebuying experience. Thank you for everything Matt!
