For those who don't know us, we are Matt and Shalin Caren of The Caren Team at Realty One Group in Goodyear, AZ. We live in Litchfield Park, and have two daughters, ages 9 and 4. Originally from upstate New York (Ithaca and West Irondequoit), we met in Rochester, NY, before moving to Phoenix's West Valley. As many people do, we found our way to Arizona by following family members who had moved here before. After visiting, we realized this was where we wanted to be. Although we only met in Rochester in 2010, we made the move to Arizona in 2011 and got married at the Wigwam Resort in 2012. That was the same year Matt got his real estate license while Shalin continued working for a real estate investment company in Scottsdale. Once things started coming together with Matt being a real estate agent, Shalin was able to leave her job and join Matt and we have been working together and helping home buyers and sellers on the west side of Phoenix ever since.

What clients say about this agent....
When we decided to move, after becoming empty nesters, we knew that we had to call The Caren Team! We have worked with Matt and Shalin in the past, and have had great results! Plus, they have excellent communication skills, are extremely thorough, and are responsive to emails, calls, and texts. We will continue to choose The Caren Team because we know that we can count on them to get the job done!
I can tell you that I have worked with a lot of good Real Estate agents over the years in multiple parts of the country and there are none better than Matt and Shalin Caren. Matt worked tirelessly on my behalf and make the whole process much easier. He is so personable and thoughtful and very well informed of the various issues that will arise in the process. No worries. He also has great resources to help with everything needed from the inspection to helping get everything set up after the sale (all the utilities, home warranty, TV, internet, security, landscaping, etc.). I give them the highest recommendation possible, if you go with them you will have a true person in your corner and you will not be disappointed.
This was the best experience of a home sale to date. Very friendly very helpful and love the weekly updates. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a realtor.
Matt and Shalin were recommended to me by a co-worker at least a year prior to using them for our recent home purchase. She is very particular and said they met her every need. Well, she was right. They are the best. They help us out every step of the way. They stayed in constant communication with us and our lender. They even lent a hand contacting the agent used to sell our home when he wouldnt return our calls. The knowledge of the area and the process are excellent I would not recommend any one else. The only name you need to know when selling or buying a home is Caren. Matt and Shalin, thank you.
It was a pleasure working with Matt and Shalin throughout our entire home buying journey. Before we started looking at homes they informed us how the process would go. During the search they were beyond attentive to the market conditions and home options. With each listing we were interested in they were prepared immediately for showings and always provided those extra details to help us make decisions. Once we finally found a home, they were thorough with exactly how we should present the offer and made sure that we were prominently placed in front of the seller during the competitive process. We were the type of buyers that asked a ton of questions and they happily answered each one and made us feel more comfortable throughout the process.
This real estate transaction was the second Matt and Shalin has represented my wife and me on in Phoenix. That alone speaks volumes in my opinion. Buying a home is almost never straight forward and without bumps along the way, and a skilled team of real estate professionals is essential. Both Matt and Shalin are absolutely committed to bringing their clients needs to the table. They are unbelievably responsive. Matt is especially skilled at moderating situations where personalities and egos between buyers and sellers can be bruised. I dont believe this transaction would have/could have been completed to everyones general satisfaction without these two. I would not hesitate to recommend or refer Matt & Shalin to friends, family, my dentist, guy in line behind me at the grocery store........ Eric Herrman and Ann Marie Foley Santa Rosa, CA Phoenix, AZ
I have bought and sold a few houses and worked with different realtors, Matt at Phoenix Valley Home Sales is the best one I have worked with. He was extremely nice and very knowledgeable, kept me up to date at every step and as things that came up that I needed to do, such as repairs, he was right there to recommend people and help me with my stress. I highly recommend phoenix Valley home sales and this team (Matt and Shalin Caren). thank you for all your help and knowledge and making this a very good experience.
Both shalin and Matt really know what they are doing and they will have your best interest at hand I do not believe that they are even concerned about there commission more than they are concerned about getting you a home the you not only want and like but one that you want to live in and call home for me and my wife they went above and beyond what you would expect an agent to do and they seem to really care and they work for use while out of town on there vacation to make sure that we were taking care of and not screwed over buy some one that just wanted to sell there junkie old house I would recommend if you are looking for agents that will work for you and not a pay check and fight for you every step of the way and continue to do so if there are any questions or concerns or problems after the the fact and not say ok we got paid peace out then you really want to call shalin and Matt at phx relity
Iam so happy with my new home! Shalin Caren of Valley Homes Sales made this process so easy. She and her husband Matt were always available to answer my many questions. They are a great team, and I would recommend them to anyone.
They were always available to us, even when they were out of town they were still working for us. Tech savvy realtors willing to go the extra mile made our transaction as smooth and easy as possible. Their plesant personalities made it a joy to work with them. Especially Shalin.
