Matt Swisshelm, Senior Living Real Estate Services: Specialized Support for Downsizing and Relocating Seniors 12 Google reviewsPosted on Kathleen AcriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are in search of a realtor to sell your home, you need look no further. Matt Swisshelm is more than perfect for the job! What seemed at first to be an impossible task, selling my parents home, with all it entailed, was a success, thanks to Matt! He is definitely the man you need. Matt's experience, especially with seniors, is amazing! He is very patient, kind, understanding, and serves like no other realtor I have ever worked with before. Many times when I was ready to give up, simply abandon the idea of selling (as my parents were very undecided at times to sell), Matt was very present. He not only encouraged me, but he would visit with my parents in their senior living home and explain gently all the reasons they needed to sell their home and remain where they were. Because Matt listened, and he truly cared about their well-being, they finally put their faith in him. Matt was always just a phone call away, always got back to me, answered questions, and explained everything very well. His knowledge about real estate and the market was very assuring. You can trust Matt wholeheartedly! My parents' home wasn't on the market long, it sold quickly. Again, Matt was incredible throughout the entire process. Theodore Roosevelt described Matt best when he said, "No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care!" We needed someone who cared. My family was truly blessed to have Matt as our realtor, and today, a dear friend! Matt, we are grateful and ask that God Bless you and your family always!Posted on Cali.

Tony and Anita K-YPosted on Marta VukovichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt has the perfect temperament and personality to work with seniors (or anyone of any age, actually). My mother chose him to be her realtor when she decided to sell her home. Matt is patient and takes the time to fully answer questions and explain the sales process. He is low-key, not pushy, and was always pleasant and professional. Matt went above and beyond the duties of a realtor. I arrived at my mother’s home one day to find Matt touching up paint! He even offered to drive my mother to her appointment with the escrow officer. My mother’s home entered escrow within a week of being listed and closed a day early. Matt made the whole process easy for my mom from start to finish. He arranged to have the donated items picked up, and, after my mother moved in and decided that a couple pieces of furniture would not fit in her new apartment, he, himself, stopped by and removed the furniture for her. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor.Posted on jschuett3Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt Swisshelm was my sister's realtor in Oceanside, CA.
