We Let Our Results Do The Talking For Us
-
We have worked with Matt on two real estate transactions a purchase years ago and the recent sale of a townhouse. We found Matt to be personable,
hard working, kept us well informed as to the progress of the negotiations. We received a price much better than anticipated. He and his assistant did
an excellent job on the web site especially with the virtual tour. We would recommend Matt without reservation. Charlie Sutter January 2010

"We really enjoyed working with Matt Hanson and respect his knowledge and attentiveness. We have worked with several agents over the years on previous transactions. In the past we have had issues where our agent was not providing us the services we needed at the time we needed them; their attention was elsewhere. Matt was on it. He served us as if we were his only clients. Furthermore, Matt understands the entire process of buying a house in the area, and walked us through every step. Additionally, as a building design professional, I was impressed with Matt's knowledge with respect to design and construction. Best of all, I would say we developed a new friend in Matt through our transaction." - Doug Gadow and Heather Rafferty, January 2010

We worked with Matt Hanson after being directed to one of his listings on the Web. We recently purchased a fractional ownership at Lake Tahoe. We think fractional ownership is the way to go. Many realtors shy away from fractional sales but not Matt. He worked with us through the negotiation phase, through the inspection phase and finally helped us get the keys to the door!! Neither, we, the buyers or the sellers, lived in the area and yet Matt kept the communication lines open via email and phone calls. He was always available to us no matter day of week or time of day. We greatly appreciated the seamless operation Matt performed for us. Thank you Matt. Marta Heffner and Kelley Hayden 01/2010

It’s with great pleasure that I write this endorsement of Matt Hanson Matt is an experienced professional who consistently demonstrated respect and concern for my requests. I first met Matt during a weekend trip to Tahoe. At that time I was not in the position to make a purchase but had full intent to within the coming year. I didn’t have many expectations of him in the start, but to my surprise and delight Matt was relentless in continuing to work hard for me. He maintained regular contact with me throughout the year and always seemed concerned for what I wanted. I’m very appreciative for Matt’s ability to listen and deliver what I wanted in a home. Being the professional he is and knowing I’ve never purchased a home in an area that gets snow, he did a wonderful job of pointing out potential concerns in homes. His advice was very valuable and certainly not expected from me. He’s a very candid and professional realtor. He is a true gentleman that will work hard for any and all of his clients. Thanks again Matt, Dr. R. Hilliard 12/31/09

Matt Hanson brings with him an exceptional level of dedication and personal care. Matt was truly instrumental in helping us find our home in Tahoe Donner. His knowledge, expertise and exceptional understanding of our requirements made our dream home a dream come true. Matt understood the kind of home we envisioned, the key elements that were essential for our family's needs, and certainly took the challenge head on. When were limited on being in Tahoe, Matt ensured we covered the listing of homes, and follow through outlining the plus and minuses according to our family’s criteria.Matt's knowledge of the Truckee Tahoe area, snow load boundaries, the style of home, and how it flows helped us tremendously in our decision process. When we first started seriously looking around the Truckee area, Matt showed us various neighborhoods and the amenities of Tahoe to help in our decision process. Matt raises the bar time and time again. Especially when we needed details of a property in which we could not make the journey to view it, Matt offered to do a walk through via phone describing in detail, then following up with supporting photos.Even after we closed on our Tahoe Donner home, Matt continues to deliver exceptional support not as our agent but as friend. Matt Hanson is truly an exceptional person and Realtor. On many occasions Matt Hanson went out of his way to ensure that our home was ready for our family winter enjoyment.Our family now has a beautiful home to enjoy year round and we owe a tremendous “Thanks” to Matt Hanson, Friend and Agent”.Sincerely,The Tsang Family 11/2009

"Matt Hanson is a consummate professional. He managed to complete the sale of my house under somewhat difficult circumstances. And I am convinced that without Matt's expertise and complete attention to detail, that the deal may not have closed. Matt went beyond the extra mile in terms of personalized service and truly skillful negotiations. Matt is a gentleman, thorough, and an excellent communicator with all the parties in a real estate transaction. I highly recommend Matt Hanson as a real estate agent who will get a job done for you. Thank you, Matt Hanson, for getting my house sold!" MaryLou Austin 10/2009
- We met Matt when we stopped by his open house one Saturday in Tahoe Donner. He struck us as very helpful, friendly and quite knowledgeable about the Tahoe real estate market, and especially the Tahoe Donner area. We visit the area frequently in winter, and sometimes summer too. We thought it might be a good time to buy, and he immediately uploaded some listings on his computer. We made arrangements to return to Tahoe Donner, and he showed us 16 houses in one afternoon. All the time he had our best interests in mind so that he could find us the perfect house for our needs and budget. During the offer and negotiation process, he was quite attentive, and answered all of our questions about closing terminology and the Tahoe Donner homeowners’ association details. We now have a house that we love, and we highly recommend using Matt as your agent if you are looking for property in the area! Paul Shufflebotham & Judy La Cara 10/2009
- Dear Matt,Thank you for your perseverance in accomplishing the short sale of my property.Your knowledge and articulation (of your interpretation) of the current economic, political and real estate situations and practices is in my opinion insurmountable and enabled me to have complete trust in your abilities.Though these times statistically state that the completion of a short sale is rare, I was always confident that you would complete this endeavor.I'm glad that you accepted this opportunity to grow, excel and succeed.I greatly appreciated your compassion, expertise and professionalismAnd I enjoyed our interactions very much.You are a great asset to our community Matt.Keep up the great work.Sincerely,Laura Doe 9/2009

We had an excellent experience with Matt being our broker. We had to complete a 1031 exchange from a property in Oregon, so there was a sense of urgency in our purchase. From the first contact, Matt was professional and responsive to our needs, desires and constraints. With his help, we found what we wanted and are pleased with our purchase. We would certainly recommend Matt for your real estate needs in this area. The Buxton's closed 7/09.

We have used Matt as our realtor for both sale and purchase of homes and recently a piece of property. Matt has been exceptional in guiding us through all of these transactions with the utmost courtesy and professionalism. Only because of his persistence in searching for properties that fit our needs have we been able to buy our most recent property. Thanks to Matt, we now have the perfect place to build the home we have always wanted! ~Bill and Denise Closed 5/2009

Thank you for your service and advice over the past year. I know that you did the best that anybody could do in a plummeting market and I am sincerely appreciative of the sound advice that you provided through out the process. I know that others would have gotten discouraged and put pressure on me in order to simply make a sale, but I never felt that from you and think that we ended up with the best deal possible at the moment. I hope that the market does pick up and that you are able to gain a decent level of activity. Once again, thanks for the support and good luck! ~ Martin Closed 5/2009

Matt Hanson helped us purchase our vacation home in Truckee. It was an overwhelmingly positive experience. Matt is very knowledgeable about the Truckee region, and he provided an objective perspective with our best interests in mind. He was very responsive, and he went above and beyond to help us through a remote home purchase. We would recommend Matt to all of our friends.~ Susan and Brian Closed12/08

Matt was awesome! Diligent, thorough, knowledgeable, and always available. Great Experience! Will definitely refer Matt with confidence- K. McDivett Closed 04/08

Matt was as good as it gets during both the purchase and sale of our Tahoe property. His attention to detail and professionalism was only surpassed by his ability to engender trust and a feeling of personal commitment to attain the best possible outcome for myself and my partner. He did this and so much more. During difficult times as these, Matt made it all look easy. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for "the best." -R.Poccia, Closed 11/07

My husband and I are very pleased with Matt! He couldn't have been more accomodating. He's an easy guy to get along with and is very knowledgable about the market. We would highly recommend him, if you're looking for an agent!! Kevin & Cathy Dill Closed 11/07

"Our family had been considering the purchase of a vacation home and on a whim, we followed some Open House signs while we were up in Lake Tahoe for the Thanksgiving weekend, 2006. One of those signs led us to our serendipitous meeting with Matt Hanson. While we weren’t interested in the house he was showing, we did pepper him with probably a few dozen questions about buying a house in/around Lake Tahoe. We were immediately impressed with his openness in sharing his knowledge and experience, and despite our indications to him that we were envisioning a lengthy research period (over 6 months), Matt’s enthusiasm to help us in this process did not diminish and were genuine. Over the course of the following months, we would carve out one day from our ski weekends to see houses. Matt would prepare a list of viable candidates and in course of seeing the houses, he was always well informed on the properties and meticulous in giving us relevant material on the property. Our feedback was duly incorporated to hone future selections. This made the use of our limited time available to see houses, highly efficient and productive.Happily, we can report that we recently completed the purchase of our vacation home in Truckee Donner thanks to Matt. We don’t think we would’ve found a house as quickly and painlessly if we hadn’t had Matt looking out for us. And the cliché that it doesn’t end when the papers are signed are really true with Matt and his Assistant Lauren, who have helped us outfit the house smoothly while in abstentia. It has been a wonderful experience working with Matt and his team. We recommend anyone who wants to work with a broker who is honest, diligent, knowledgeable and caring look no further." - Bill Tom & Lucy Sun Closed 4/2007

Matt led me down the path towards purchasing my first home. The process was easy, fun and stress free. Matt took the time to explain every step of the process and make sure I was comfortable and well informed. He went above and beyond in every way – even stopping by my house for me to sign documents when I had the flu. It was great to have someone in my corner that I could trust taking care of everything. Thanks Matt!” - Nova Closed 4/2007
- Overall Matt did a fantastic job - i think he is one of the top 3-5% agents in the area. Honest - Dependable - Thoughtful - Knowledgable. Thanks Matt! Here's to two more closings ~ Jack Emmetts Closed 4/2007
- Matt went above and beyond the call of duty! He's been great (the second house he's sold for us)~ Tom & Barbara Salter Closed 2/2007
- Matt, Mary and I want to thank You for your efforts in finding our perfect place in Tahoe Donner. We appreciated your professionalism and patience. We enjoyed working with you very much. Please feel free to use us as references.~ Fernando & Mary Mesa Closed 10/2006
- Matt Hanson did a terrific job in representing me in selling our property at 7064 6th Ave in Tahoma. He was very responsive to my needs and communicated well with me. He was always available for my questions and needs. Thanks again for selling my home in a professional, quick and precise manner. Thanks, William Kelly, Kelly Brothers Painting, Inc Closed 8/06
- "Matt is a skilled and experienced real estate agent, who is very knowledgeable regarding the greater North Lake Tahoe real estate market. He has marvelous interpersonal and communication skills to understand what you, as the buyer or seller is seeking. He then works diligently on your behalf to accomplish those goals. He has represented my wife and me regarding several properties and he found our dream home for us overlooking Lake Tahoe."~ Phil Kay Closed 1/06
- “Matt Hanson is much more than what we would expect for a commission in the selling of our home. We bought our home with Matt; and up until then had never experienced a realtor who was as honest and forthright as he was. Matt has more integrity than any of the last ten realtors we have used. Although we had visited the Truckee-Lake Tahoe area many times in the past, we were relatively new to the area for buying a home. We needed to know certain aspects of buying a home where there is an average of 209 inches of snow per year. Matt gave us very sound advice and then continued to support us after the sale.”- Jim & Connie Closed 9/05
- “We really looked to Matt for his expertise of the area, pointing out things we would never have thought about such as rooflines and shading issues during the winter. He was proactive and worked with us to hone in on what we wanted so we could limit the number of trips to see properties. He continues to be a valuable resource to us, and highly recommend him to everyone we know looking for properties in the Tahoe area. He’s the best real estate consultant we’ve ever worked with.” ~Paquin Closed 2/05
- "Matt hanson is in a league of one. Hire him. I fired two other realtors, before finding him. He is a real professional, unlike a lot of his competition. He knows the market cold, is easy to work with, smart, fast, and is a master at closing a deal. He is also a pleasure to work with." ~ Chistopher Lochhead Closed 1/04
- My wife and I we referred to Matt by a mutual friend after working with a few agents that we were not giving us much attention, as we were unsure of when (or even if really) we'd be moving to Truckee from the Bay Area. Matt treated us like we were buying tomorrow, showed us many properties and neighborhoods, even came and sat in our house to make sure the street noise was not too loud before we bought it (Amazing, I know). This was over the course of 6 months always on weekends. Matt pointed out things we never even thought of asking like exposures, driveway types, snow loads, where the sun would be in the winter sky in different neighborhoods and houses etc. He let us decide if a house was acceptable, then pointed out all the good and "bad" points. We ended up with a house, lot and neighborhood that we absolutely love. Thanks Matt. Don and Melody Rebbeck Closed 11/03
- MATT HANSON RULES….HE ROCKS….PROBABLY THE BEST AGENT WE HAVE EVER HAD….CAN NOT BELIEVE THE EFFORT AND HE PUTS FORTH TO HIS CLIENTS….WE ARE SO HAPPY WITH OUR HOME IN TAHOE….THANKS>>>MATT DAVIS Closed 11/03

during our search for, and ultimately the purchase of, our new home.
We couldn't have been more satisfied with the service you provided." -

- Matt is thorough, efficient and professional. If only other realtors
were as competent the world would be a better place for all humanity.” Larson Closed 2/00
- “Eight years ago, when we bought our home, Matt went out of his way to research a territory which was unfamiliar to him and helped us find a lovely home with a beautiful view that was being built as a spec house. We were able to customize the home to our needs and because of his help, get it at a price that was in our budget. We would certainly recommend Matt to assist other buyers and sellers for all their real estate needs.” - Dick and Fran Singleton Closed 7/98
- "As a small businessperson who has spent over a quarter of my lifetime in the Tahoe Truckee area, I am very familiar with the type of person who calls themselves a "Realtor" - as a group they are the most self-serving group of people in the Tahoe Basin- bar none. I remembered when working with most Realtors, thinking "boy, if someone went about this process differently with a more professional bent, they would make a fortune". Matt Hanson is that very rare and unique sort of professional. When dealing with Matt, he goes out of his way to ensure my satisfaction- and that is a rather unique trait from the local realtor tribe. I know that when I am dealing with Matt, his attention is on getting me the best deal available and I know he is working for me and not for himself or god-forbid, another side-deal. I have had many years of examples of his dedication to standing behind his word and ALWAYS doing the right thing for me. In my estimation, there is no other realty professionals on this planet that I could trust more than Matt to do the right thing for me. This trust will ensure that whenever I think Realtor, I think of only one name... Matt Hanson. "-

- Sirs, I lived in Truckee from 1981-2003, and I used Matt Hanson to sell my Tahoe Donner properties. He was referred to me by another good friend and long time Truckee local. After interviewing three realtors following a dismal experience with my prior listing agent, I chose Matt. Matt was forthright and courteous, and did everything he said he would do. If I do any real estate transactions again, I will call Matt in a heartbeat. This man is customer oriented and not in the big ego, self-aggrandizement mode that I encountered all too often. Further, I consider Matt to be a friend. Matt looks out for you rather than himself: a charming variation of the present type of customer service that is usually seen in business today. I am not a testimonial type of guy, but this man deserves it. Sincerely, F.Thomas Webb
