Matt was a delight to work with! He went above and beyond to help us buy the perfect family home in our desired neighborhood in the midst of an unprecedented, highly competitive market. His years of experience, real estate acumen, and instincts were crucial to us crafting an offer that was ultimately accepted, amid stiff competition. His kind and supportive demeanor helped ease the stresses of home buying during COVID; we felt seen, heard, and well-advised. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone seeking to buy a home in the Burlington area.

We have worked with Matt in the past and continue to be pleased with his services. He was able to find us a perfect condo in a market that had few offerings. He negotiated with all parties to move forward a difficult sale that got bogged down with the details of setting up a new condominium association. He connected us with finance folks who worked their magic to make all the details come together. And he offered tremendous support to us as we made our way through the process.We would DEFINITELY recommend him to friends and family and have done so in the past.

My husband and I had a FANTASTIC experience buying a home with Matt. He was transparent and attentive, and very knowledgeable about the areas and the homes we looked at, and he's well-connected within the community. This 2020-2021 market has been a nightmare to shop in, but every step of the way, Matt's advice and feedback was honest. He's not the type to pressure or pry, and his personality is very relaxed and laidback until it's time to bid on a home. Once that time comes, he says it's "pulling the five alarm fire" and it's all systems go. He's efficient and effective and communicative. I would absolutely recommend anyone to work with him. And I should give an honorary mention to his team as well - Katie in particular, who assisted Matt with the process of buying our home. If there ever comes a time where my husband and I would like to sell our home, we will absolutely be calling up Matt to help us with that process.

Matt has been our Realtor for six residential real estate transactions in the last seven years, between 2014 and 2021: we bought and sold two rental properties, sold our residence, and bought hunting land, all with Matt's representation. Most recently, we had a house on AirBnB that we wanted to sell but thought we needed to wait until after all of our current rentals were complete before we put it on the market. However, Matt convinced us that we could go ahead and list the house while we still had a full rental calendar without disrupting any renters. He was able to sell the house in a three day window between rentals by advertising before the house could be shown, and having professional photographs with a video online so people could view the house when it wasn't available. By going under contract before our rentals ended, our carrying costs on the house without it being rented were greatly reduced.I think one of the main characteristics that we appreciated about Matt is that he always listened to what we wanted. He never gave an opinion without our asking, and he always asked our thoughts so he could get a sense of what we wanted or needed. While selling or buying a home is an exciting and happy experience, it can also be stressful and emotional. Matt's calm, affirming and responsive demeanor was much needed (and appreciated) at various times during our transactions. Another characteristic that we appreciated was Matt's responsiveness to phone calls and emails. We never had to worry about waiting to hear back from Matt. He always got back to us quickly, even when he happened to be out of town for the weekend, and often returned emails late at night when we had emailed him earlier that evening. This demonstrates his strong work ethic. Matt also demonstrated extensive knowledge of the real estate market, zoning issues, and city regulations. He was always professional, personable, and dependable. With the number of realtors looking for business, we certainly had many options if we were anything less than totally satisfied with Matt's services. Luckily, that was never our experience. We highly recommend Matt and his team for your next real estate transaction.Sue and Kevin Marvin

For over a year I contemplated selling my home and had reached out to Matt at the start. He was extremely patient and supportive throughout my journey. Once I decided to list, Matt answered all my questions and addressed my concerns. He advocated for terms that best fit my needs. He and his assistant, Katie, always responded in a timely manner. A big shoutout to his photographer, Jen, who also was professional and extremely kind. Selling a house is stressful but having a realtor with whom you can openly communicate made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Matt and his team!

Matt was wonderful! Looking for home is stressful and has many bumps in the road. Matt took his time helping me find the perfect place. He was patient, kind, knowledgeable and just a great human being. He always kept me informed and updated on any changes and was always there to answer any questions I had. He is the realtor you want to deal with!

Matt worked with us to sell a home on leased land. This was not an easy task but he eventually found a perfect match buyer for our needs. He was very professional and a great communicator.I would be honored to use him again should the opportunity arises.

In a tight market, you need a realtor with a firm grasp of the current, real-time housing market (as well as its history). You also need a realtor who's capable of executing a bidding strategy that leads to offer acceptance. We got just that with Matt and remain grateful to this day that he somehow managed to get the house that was "love at first sight" for us. The other issue with a tight market is that as a buyer, "neurotic" becomes a primary personality trait. Matt's ability to guide us through the process with a cool confidence was very much needed. We knew we were in good hands and that was proven when our initial offer was accepted thanks to Matt's offer strategy. It was a multiple offer scenario and Matt was adept at keeping us grounded and ensuring that we didn't over-spend or over-commit. His approach secured us the house without over-spending (which is not a particularly easy thing to pull off these days). We highly recommend Matt Hurlburt and his team and he'll be the first person we call if we buy again (or sell).
