Matt is an excellent real estate agent. He is very knowledgeable in dealing with the 55+ real estate market in the Oceanside area. If we had a concern he dealt with the issue quickly and responded promptly. He is very conscientious and caring and made the whole process seamless and positive. He also has a upbeat personality and we enjoyed our interactions with him. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing an agent.

Matt was always responsive, professional, and proactive throughout the transaction, making communication easy and helping everything stay on track. It's always refreshing to work with a fellow Realtor who values teamwork and puts clients first. I look forward to the opportunity to work together again in the future. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Carol MckellepTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt Swisshelm is amazing to work with. As an out of state client helping her elderly aunt move into assisted-living I can’t speak highly enough about Matt’s service. Matts knowledge, expertise and professionalism was invaluable. Matt supervised the purchase and installation of carpet and painting and termite repair etc. The Brian Devore group also has additional seniors services that were invaluable. Sheilagh’s team with Bella Reflections packed my aunts house up, took pictures of placement and recreated the exact same look in her assisted-living apartment. This was an invaluable experience. It made the transition almost seamless. My Aunts home received multiple overs and sold well over list price. We highly recommend Matt. Thank you for everything.Posted on Google Jeremy KahanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt is an excellent agent and as professional as they come. I have greatly enjoyed working with him and know he is a true asset / blessing to seniors and non-seniors alike in the transition between properties.Posted on Google Steve CookTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt was the best! I’ve sold and bought quite a few homes here and there. I’ve used the same agent when I was in the North San Diego County area. But he recently retired. I was planning to be represented by one of two other agents when I got a call from Matt. I usually cut short the cold calls, but for some reason I let Matt pitch me. I’m so glad that I did. I could generate a list of the tasks that he did that were way beyond the standard seller’s agent, but the list would be too long. Let me just say that he earn d his commission and I felt good paying it. From now on, Matt is my agent regardless of what side of the table I’m on. I will recommend him to any friends of mine that are considering selling a home.Posted on Google Carol RosenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent buying experience with Matt! I told him upfront that I would need a lot of hand-holding, and he did disappoint. From truly listening to my needs, to visiting homes, negotiating with sellers, to setting expectations for the actual purchase process. I especially appreciate Matt praying with me, responding quickly to my queries, and providing counsel while never pressuring me for a decision. Whole-heartedly recommend him for buying/selling a home.Posted on Google Kathleen LamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first met Matt at a senior living seminar and immediately was impressed. He was professional , knowledgeable, and honest. I was especially drawn to the fact that he specialized in helping seniors. I asked him to help me to sell my house amid a plethora of problems I was facing. Most realtors, I believe, would back away from what I was going through. Not Matt. He helped me every step of the way and personally made calls that were beyond the scope of his duties. We worked together as a team and I was always informed about what was going on. Long story short—Matt sold my house within a week and negotiated my additional requests successfully. I unequivocally recommend Matt Swisshelm if you are a senior and want to work with an honest, professional, competent and caring agent. Undoubtedly, you will be as successful as I was.Posted on Google Alan TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would recommend and use Matt's services again. I was out of town during most of the transaction and it was great having someone to trust in the area.
