Testimonials

Matt is the consummate professional. He was a tremendous help to me as I was one of the first to buy a new home in FOXHALL RIDGE, and he made it a point to always check in and was always available to help, long after the sale was complete. A total class act and a great friend to any buyer.

Congratulations on your move to Washington Fine Properties. I am sure you will add another dimension to their capabilities.

Looking back, our projects at White Flint were some unique times in the condo market. On the one hand we could not move fast enough to close the units, and on the other hand we had to resell almost half the building when the market turned. That said, your approach and expertise helped make selling 650 units at the Gallery @ WFP and Sterling condominiums possible.

All the best,

GERARD G. Chief Financial Officer The Donohoe Companies, Inc.

We learned of Matt when he sold a condo in our building. At our first meeting, he laid out an aggressive plan of what he and his team would do, and then exceeded his production at every step. His pricing prediction and the reasons for it proved out in the market. We had ten lookers before our property was on MLS, then he had double his prediction at our open house. He told us we would look at offers on the next Tuesday, and he was sitting with us Monday night for the acceptance. We were officially on the market for four days. His brochure of our place was so good, we kept a couple of copies for future reference. Throughout the process, any time there was work to be done, Matt was asking our permission so he could do it. Compared with some of the languishing properties in our building, Matt came through and completed the transaction quicker than we ever expected.

Matt is a consummate professional who knows how to price the house right to sell. He made the sale seem easy with his calm and steady attitude and was quick to respond to our questions and needs. I highly recommend him.

Matt is incredibly professional and very knowledgeable about the local market. He has great database marketing skills and reach, which led to over 100 potential buyers actually visiting my home while it was on the market. He is very dedicated from a communication and customer service perspective, so we were constantly in touch. I would definitely use Matt as my agent on any future sale, and would highly recommend him to others.

Courtney and I sold our home in December 2015. We had an amazing experience working with Matt Cheney at Washington Fine Properties (WFP) when we sold our home. During our initial meeting, Matt provided us with a step-by-step plan for both preparing the house to be put on the market in addition to putting the house on the market and handling offers.

First, he helped us with a plan to get the house ready to be put on the market. He visited us at our house, walked through the house, and gave us his initial opinions. He provided us with a realistic estimate, both in terms of pricing and timing regarding selling our house, especially due to the fact that we were not selling the house during the "hot" season.

Next, he organized multiple realtors to visit our house as well and make recommendations regarding painting/staging/repairing the house as well as pricing the house competitively in the market. He reviewed the realtors' suggestions with us, indicating which recommendations he thought were high-priority and how the suggested house pricing affected his strategy of pricing the house. He also helped us find people to paint and stage our house.

Prior to putting out house on the market, Matt reviewed with us both his suggested pricing of the house and the strategy behind the pricing. He also offered realistic expectations on how long it would take to sell the house.

Once we got the house on the market, Matt had a clear strategy to market our home to as many realtors and online sites as possible. Due to the fact that the house was properly priced and staged, there was a lot of interest in this house from the moment it was placed on the market. This allowed us to get multiple offers, many with escalation clauses, within 2 weeks of putting the house on the market and eventually sell our home above asking price and above our initial expectations.

Our family had to move to Pittsburgh during the process; Matt took care of everything, including the closing, for us. Throughout the process, Matt was always in communication with us, letting us know what was going on or checking in with us to see if we had any questions.

We would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to sell their home. The amount of effort he put in before, during, and after our house was on the market made an otherwise stressful process very manageable for our family.

We're so glad we met Matt and then followed his advice. At first we thought his advice to stage our place and move out while he showed it was crazy, but Matt had such a calm confidence about him that we decided to trust him. That trust proved well-placed when our condo was under contract four days later and sold for $40,000 more than we'd thought we could sell it for. At the same time, Matt helped us navigate the process to buy a townhouse. When our original couple of offers weren't accepted, Matt pinpointed what we needed to do to increase our competitive edge despite not being able to increase our downpayment. Matt was consistently patient, helpful, easy-going, and calm - exactly what we needed when going through such a transition! We love our new place and know we wouldn't have gotten it without his guidance.

We have worked successfully with Matt on two multi-unit for sale residential projects. Matt is very focused and incredibly professional. He was committed to having a thorough understanding of the product to sell, not just the specific unit features and building attributes, but also regarding the community, so he could tell the full lifestyle story. Matt has a very comfortable demeanor and can relate to the wide spectrum of candidate buyers.

Marc D., President Duball, LLC

We would absolutely recommend Matt to anyone searching for a home in the Washington, DC, area. We were first-time home buyers, and Matt was extremely knowledgeable and detailed when explaining the nuances of residential real estate to us. We both work hectic jobs and often only had time to tour homes on Friday mornings or Sunday afternoons, and he was extremely flexible and generous with his time to ensure we saw a wide variety of places. Matt was also very patient with us as we slowly expanded our search parameters until we found a charming home in the perfect neighborhood. He gave us solid advice throughout the entire process and we can't thank him enough!
