"Joakim is a fantastic agent. My partner and I were looking in the area for 2 years and finally identified a great little house with his help. He presented us with the house before it hit the market, sending us a video tour of it 2 months prior. We waited until the seller put it on the market and then put in a bid with his advice on pricing. His style is exactly what we needed. No pressure, informative, and always quick to respond to our inquiries. Would recommend him to anyone looking in the area."

"Matt and his team found is an exceptional off-market opportunity that came to him through his own network and years of local knowledge and expertise. He was an amazing resource and partner throughout the whole process. We would not have found our dream home without him. Can’t recommend him enough."

"Mathew and team were amazing resources for us when we moved out coast side. He spent a year working with us to find the home of our dreams. Every time we visited the coast (even recreationally), Mat was ready with pages-long recommendation texts of best beaches, tide pools, surf spots, hikes, and family-friendly restaurants! He knows every square inch of the coast and is an absolute honest broker in every engagement we've had with him. We always felt he had our family's best interests at heart, and worked extremely hard to help us land in a perfect neighborhood and community coast side!"

"Matt helped my husband and I buy our first home in the mid-peninsula area last year. We were originally intimidated by the home-buying process, but Matt made the entire process very clear and approachable. He was always extremely patient and detail-oriented. He taught us how to look for signs of a well-cared-for home as well as signs of potential issues and how much it might cost to fix them. He also had a wealth of knowledge when it came to things like estimating how much competition to expect based on how many disclosures had been requested or talking through how feasible it would be to add an extra bathroom to a house in the future. He wasn't afraid of getting his hands dirty and scoped out the crawl space and attic for us on multiple occasions. Matt was very responsive to calls and texts, especially while we were going through the nail-biting offer process. He let us set the pace of our search, which happened to coincide with a dip in inventory, and he never pressured us to make an offer we weren't comfortable with. We also loved Matt's honesty about when a certain feature of a home "just felt weird" so we never felt bad about having overly picky standards and instead felt encouraged to wait for the right home for us. We couldn't be happier with the house we ended up with, and would highly recommend Matt and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Bay Area!"

"Joakim is an agent who cares; he is well connected on the coast and respected in the community. He thinks out of the box and pays attention to detail. The level of service he provided was white glove, especially since I had to leave the property while it was on the market. He handled the home care for me and made me feel secure with my home still storing my personal belongings. One thing I found very helpful, was his open house summary at the closing of each event, this helped me keep a pulse on the activity."

"Not only did Lucy and Mishelle help us get our home in Half Moon Bay sold with the utmost in professionalism and expertise, but they did it in the midst of the pandemic frenzy, and they never missed a beat. Their work ethic, limitless energy, attention to detail, and the empathy they had for the experience of going through selling our home was a constant source of comfort for us. We were wonderfully well taken care of in every aspect of the process; from the first discussions about listing, to the final day of handing over the keys. No small question was too unimportant, and no big details were too overwhelming. Lucy and Mishelle were there with us every step of the way with their positive energy, encouragement, patience, knowledge and confidence. We have bought, built and sold many homes in our lives, and we have never had such a smooth and rewarding real estate experience as we had with this dream team. We are eternally grateful. Evelyn and Mike Mann"
