"Matt Privette was very professional to work with.

He was very receptive to our needs, and also had prompt answers to all our questions. He is very knowledgeable and up to date with all the latest information on the housing market, prices and mortgage rates. We really enjoyed working with Matt, and will recommend him to others."

James & Julie Lowe

"Matt was great.

He knew exactly how to market our home to the type of buyers out there today. He told us we would find our buyer online and would not have tire kickers come through. The photographer he used was amazing along with the virtual tour Matt set up which we believe is why we sold so fast. We had 5 showings in the first 2 days and we got 3 offers although one buyer pulled an offer back due to other offers. We will recommend Matt to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home in the future. Our experience was 10/10. "

I had an awesome experience with my agent Matt.

I have worked with Matt to help complete several different real estate transactions in the past ten years. He did an amazing job marketing our house with top notch photos and a thorough write up highlighting our property. Communication was excellent-Matt always responds to every text or phone call, even on his days off. Matt always made sure to answer my questions and was diligent in paying attention to detail. Some qualities that stuck out are his extensive knowledge of the market, honesty, integrity, promptness, friendly, and ability to listen to my needs/desires regarding real estate. Matt got the job done selling our most recent home allowing me to begin the next adventure in my life. Thank you Matt Privette! You’ve got a lifelong customer in me-call Matt for all your real estate needs.

"Matt made the entire home buying process excellent!

In a tough market, he reminded us to be patient while communicating effectively which was so reassuring! We found the home that was perfect for our family and couldn't be happier! "

Matt was amazing.

We reached out to Matt on a Friday, got five showings on Monday, made an offer that night, and the offer got accepted the next day! Matt will go to bat for you. With two houses found with Matt's help, we have seen Matt stand up for us to both mortgage lenders. Matt's knowledge, hard working attitude, and friendliness will be your advantage in navigating the world of buying/selling a home. We cannot recommend Matt Privette more!

"Matt did an amazing job assisting me with me first home purchase! He’s very knowledgeable about the geographical area and location of all the homes we looked at. He’s very patient, and understanding the buyers interest, wants, and needs of a home. He always responds in a timely manner, and was available for questions just about any time of day. He is very professional and wants what’s best for the buyer. I could not recommend a more professional, caring, and driven realtor."

"Having known Matt for a majority of my life, it was a natural choice to go with him while selling my home. Matt is kind, professional and compassionate. From the very first time I reached out to him telling him that I was thinking about listing my house until the very end, during closing, Matt went above and beyond for me. He made the process of selling my house easy and as stress free as possible, walking me through each step of the way. I look forward to working with Matt in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is interested in buying or selling a home."

"Matt was highly recommended by a friend, so we thought we would give him a chance to sell our house. Matt was thorough, detailed, and brought a ton of industry knowledge. He was very honest about the value of our house, and didn't oversell the value to get our business. We had multiple offers and sold quickly!! After selling, we decided to use Matt to find our next home. His knowledge of the market in the Duluth area helped guide us through the negotiation of our new home! Matt did a great job on both sides of selling and buying. Highly recommend him."
