Client Reviews

"I strongly recommend Matt Hendry of Keller Williams. He’s a knowledgeable agent who was very willing to spend the time taking me through the many details and nuances around home buying in the Bay Area, including topics from neighborhoods to the loan process, to disclosures, to TICs, and much more. On two occasions when I had detailed questions around market conditions and and loan documents, he arranged Zoom calls (pandemic time), and came more than prepared to answer my questions. A few specific ways Matt brought value to my home buying process include: 1) Negotiating my purchase price to $35k under list. 2) Coordinating / managing all inspections and appraisals. 3) Conducting the final walkthrough on my behalf when I was unable to attend at the originally scheduled time. 4) Recommending the mortgage broker I ultimately chose (I had prospected several companies online and requested quotes from my existing financial institutions, but ultimately went with Matt’s recommendation as they had the best rate.) 5) Working with all parties to pull up the date of my close of escrow per my request. However, the greatest way Matt helped was by discovering and bringing to my attention what would become my new home. After I had reviewed over 200 listings online and had narrowed prospects down to 10 properties to tour, I asked Matt if there were any properties not on my list that he thought I should take a look at. The one he recommended (which I had overlooked) is now my home. Throughout my home buying process, Matt never made me feel pressured or rushed; rather he asked the right questions, listened and took my feedback into consideration. In the end, he was able to identify the property that met my needs even better than I. And now, as I sit and type this review in my dream home in the Mission, I’m very grateful to have had him as my agent not only for the key role he played making it happen, but also for the smoothness his aptitude and acumen brought to a complicated process."

"Just over a week ago, the sale of my one bedroom Mission District condo completed. Simply bringing this property to market was a challenge due to several HOA matters. Patiently and competently, Matt guided me successfully through those issues. He made outstanding recommendations for some improvements to the property before listing, along with nudging me to stage the property. The website and marketing photos that Matt actualized generated tremendous interest in the property. In the first three days of the listing being live, he showed the property 35 times. This generated three offers above listing price. I was thrilled to be in contract six days after the listing went live with an outstanding offer. As if these achievements were not enough, Matt and I collaborated on this sale with me being over four hundred miles away. Matt is an extremely competent and supportive agent, and I recommend him with full confidence. "

"Matt’s amazing. New empty-nesters, my husband and I decided to down-size and Matt handled both the sale of our old home and purchase of our new forever home. The quality of the listing he compiled for our home sale far exceeded our expectations and he sold our home in less than one week, with multiple offers. His guidance, negotiation skills, patience and relationship building was - I’m convinced - what led us to success in finding the perfect forever home in San Francisco. Beyond being the consummate real estate professional, Matt is also a major leader in Bay Area community service, devoting much time after hours to making the world a better place. Highly recommend Matt!!!"

"We engaged Matt Hendry to help us find a condo in San Francisco and are so happy we did. Matt was knowledgeable, communicative and a joy to work with. He understood the type of home we were looking for and never suggested something out of reach. Whenever called to view a listing, he responded immediately and gave his honest opinion about each. While not wanting to sway us either for or against a place, he laid out the pros and cons in a manner that was helpful for us to decide. Same was the case in determining an offering price. When we requested his suggestions, he gave us a range he thought would be fair and worth the cost. We never felt pressured to move forward or go faster than was comfortable. Ultimately, we found a home that checked all the boxes and then some. Matt was extremely generous with his time and support both during and after the purchase process. Easy-going yet professional, we would unquestionably recommend working with him to buy or sell a home in San Francisco."

"Matt is friendly, professional, and skilled. His genuine knowledge of the SF Bay Area market and true passion for real estate was instrumental in helping me land the best condo for me. As a first time buyer, I sincerely appreciated his willingness to take the time to help me through the journey that is buying a home and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy in the SF Bay Area."

"I was lucky to find Matt as my agent. As a first time homebuyer, I found the process very obscure, but he made sure I understand every part of the process and kindly provided detailed answers to all of my questions. Matt was supportive and understanding when I needed time to think things through and was quick to speed things up when I was ready to make an offer. I also found it extremely transparent and professional when Matt clearly explained to me what he can vs can’t help with during the process. It was a smooth and pleasant experience working with Matt, and I’m thankful for his help. I highly recommend taking Matt along your next home buying journey!"

"Matt was absolutely fabulous to work with. As a first-time homebuyer who has no experience in real estate, Matt was kind, patient, compassionate, and walked me through everything. From our first Zoom introduction, to our in-person tours, to working through disclosure packets and contracts, Matt helped every step of the way. He was especially helpful during the escrow process and making sure my new building was doing everything to help the move-in go smoothly. I recommend him to all clients, whether first-time or repeat buyers."

"I have so many wonderful things to say about Matt!! From the moment I started to work with Matt I could tell he was a meticulous, efficient and hard working person. He’s on time to scheduled meetings, quick with his responses, and highly knowledgeable. Matt and I worked well together because I love having an agenda and timeline and being a seller of a home, timing is everything. Matt stepped right in and provided me with people to contact for inspection, cleaning, painting and staging. He let me know the timing of when each project should happen and I was able to plan accordingly. From there, Matt took it over and talked directly to the contractors I hired making it easy for me. Having Matt as my agent, I didn’t have to worry that something would fall through the cracks or not get done because Matt is truly on top of everything. If you want an knowledgeable, responsive, agent who will make it happen for you, I would highly recommend you talk to Matt. From start to finish, Matt did not disappoint and kept clear and constant communication with us through our entire selling process even while he was on vacation. I had a great experience working with him and I think anyone who chooses him as an agent will feel the same."

"Matt was fantastic throughout the process of buying my first home. From the day I met him via zoom I knew he had things under control. He operated in a very professional manner and was extremely organized. As a first time home buyer, I wasn’t too familiar with all the terms, forms, disclosures or even the process itself. Matt made the time to walk me through sample disclosures and contracts before I even put an offer in. This helped me understand what my risks are and what to look out for when putting in an actual offer. He also has a great network of lenders and other providers that he had previously worked with – that made the process very smooth since everyone was marching in the same direction. What I liked about Matt’s approach is that I was able to reach him 24/7 – I could ask questions about houses that I found online and get his opinion on the neighborhood, he would send me comps for a place that I was considering or he would put together a day of house hunting and drive me across town to various homes. All in all I think he offers a 5-star service and I would definitely recommend Matt to be your next realtor."

"As first time homebuyers, my partner and I had so many questions and were anxious about beginning our house-hunting journey in San Francisco. Matt put our minds at ease right away, thoroughly answering all our questions and supporting us every step of the way. When our offer was accepted on a home we loved, closing on the place became unexpectedly complicated due to the seller. Matt made sure we were aware of our rights and all options throughout the process. He helped us untangle a situation that could’ve been an even more chaotic one. Matt guided us through the challenge with confidence and grace under pressure, going above and beyond to close the deal and deliver us the keys to our new home. We cannot recommend Matt Hendry enough and will definitely be using him again in the future."

"Matt Hendry is an outstanding realtor in San Francisco real estate. He was recommended to me by my daughter, Kennly Asato, a realtor herself in Washington state, so I value her guidance. He met and exceeded all my expectations by answering questions quickly and thoroughly and kept me informed throughout the sales process. He helped the seller’s agent, who was a novice, to ensure that the documents were accurate and on time. I recommend Matt Hendry to you for your real estate needs."

"Matt surpassed all my expectations when it came to working with someone who had deep knowledge of the SF/Bay Area market. He provided comprehensive monthly updates and analysis on all of the patterns/trends he was seeing, which greatly helped to inform my decision making process & timeline. Matt has the perfect temperament and demeanor to be working in this fast-paced, high pressure industry, and is quite a savvy negotiator. He was always there to guide me through tough decisions, and ensure that my emotions weren’t getting the best of me. In the end, he helped my find my first dream-home, and we had a lot of fun along the way!"

"Matt helped us buy a beautiful new home in a very competitive market. His extensive knowledge of the city shone through as he suggested neighborhoods - and even specific streets - for us to consider. He always made time to take our calls, strategize with us on offers, and show us new properties. He was also so kind when we were vastly outbid on a home we wanted - and shared our joy when we closed on an even better place for us. I highly recommend working with Matt."

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Matt for several years, so when I decided to buy my first home in the North Bay, he was top of mind. Matt was always available to answer any questions I had and was prompt with getting viewings scheduled. He took time to learn my likes and dislikes and made thoughtful suggestions and callouts about each property he viewed with me. He was very communicative throughout the closing process and took care to follow up and make sure deadlines were not missed. If you are looking to buy or sell a home, I highly recommend working with Matt!"

"I worked with Matt as a first time homebuyer in 2021. He was extremely helpful, communicative, professional and reliable through the whole process. Trust me - it was difficult and nerve racking to understand everything in the real estate world. Matt answered all my questions patiently, and made sure I understand my rights as a homebuyer. He is an excellent negotiator and advocate for his clients. I feel so thankful to have Matt helping me with my first home and would recommend anyone I know to work with him."

"Matt Hendry has been so helpful with our moving process for our first home in San Francisco, he is very friendly and easy to talk to. He is also very quick at responding if we have any questions and contacting us to let us know any information. Matt was very thorough and professional and did a lot more than we were expecting realtor to do. We really appreciated how he was on top of things and how he kept us informed every step of the way. If you are in need of a great realtor go with Matt!"

"I have known Matt for many years, so when it came time to buy my first home, it was a no brainer to have him be my realtor. I had just gone thru SF’s first time home buyer program in the spring and he had just closed on a listing thru the same program. Matt is very communicative, responsive, and detailed oriented, which are great assets to have in SF’s fast paced real estate market. Matt had gone with me to a few tours and asked the right questions with the listing agents. He made me think outside of the box when it came to looking at the environment around the potential condos. He knew that there were some potentials where some sellers and developers will not pay any commission, but that never stopped him from helping me with my search. When I did finally find a condo, I unfortunately was not able to use Matt as my realtor as the developers where not paying for any commissions. Matt still went above and beyond to narrowing my condo pick. He gave me his recommendations and even followed up with me a few times until SF gave me my final approval and opened escrow. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone who is looking to buy or sell. I would definitely use him again in the future!"

"Matt helped me as a first time home owner to find what I liked, and was there every step of the way. He was very attentive to all of my inquiries, made several trips in person to help me navigate the buying process, and was always quick to answer my many questions about the buying process. Matt helped me through every step and went beyond my expectations to make sure I understood every document and no question left unanswered. Matt is very knowledgeable, kind, and does everything he can to help his clients. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy/sell a house."

"Matt was such a pleasure to work with as our realtor in San Francisco when looking for our first home. Matt genuinely listened to our needs and was always available to answer questions. Matt really went out of his way to be able to quickly show us listings as they came available which is key in a fast moving market. We highly valued Matt’s quick responsiveness to questions, reviewing the comps, and schedulings. If you want a realtor who will be there to meet your needs and make sure you find the perfect home, I’d highly recommend Matt."
