Year: 2013

Matt graduated from Seattle University School of Law and received a B.A. from the University of Washington. While at Seattle University, was a member of the Moot Court Board and received a Presidential Law Scholarship. While in Law School, he studied real estate, landlord tenant, contracts, and individual income tax. As a real estate agent, he is currently #1 in Washington on Re/Max’s roster of highest-grossing agents.

Matt became interested in real estate as an undergraduate, became a homeowner after graduation, and then a landlord about a year later. After going through several transactions himself and working with a variety of real estate agents from the major brands, Matt knew there must be a better way to operate a brokerage. Most brokerages put an emphasis on competition between agents, with little or no support for agents regarding the complicated legal issues that are part of most transactions in this market.

Matt founded Re/Max On the Lake to address the short-comings of the current real estate brokerage model. The office is a high-energy, collaborative place for agents to work together for their clients, rather than a place where agents must fend for themselves and only come in to pay their broker fees. Re/Max On the Lake is a post-bubble brokerage focused on the reality of the new real estate industry and market rather than just trying to survive the downturn and waiting for the next bubble.
