I start by listening to what you want and what you won't compromise on. Then we build a plan around it.
Responsive Communication
I pick up the phone. You'll get clear answers quickly, so you always know where things stand.
Trusted Referral Network
Good lenders, inspectors, escrow officers, and contractors make a deal go smoothly. I'll connect you with the ones I trust.

Testimonials
Matt was a steady, reliable guide throughout my first home-buying experience. His deep knowledge, calm demeanor, and resourcefulness made an overwhelming process feel manageable and even exciting. He offered thoughtful advice without ever pressuring me, and always respected my decisions while making sure I had the information I needed to move forward confidently. I’m incredibly grateful for his support and would highly recommend working with him to anyone navigating the home-buying process.
-Aaron
I recently sold my home in Pacific Palisades with Matt Girard, and he made the sale as smooth and stress-free as possible. It was a challenging market because of the fire, and holding the property in a family trust added complexity. Matt walked me through all of it. He helped me clear out the entire house and got it ready to list. He did a great job with the marketing (photos, virtual staging, online listings, open houses), and his communication was excellent. Matt handled inspection issues and some tough buyer negotiations with professionalism and kept me informed the whole way. Bottom line, he made the process easier and exceeded my expectations. I'd recommend Matt to anyone looking to sell their home, without hesitation.

Matthew was incredibly helpful when I was temporarily displaced from my property during my building's renovation. He gave me in depth insight into my options and helped me figure out my next move without adding any extra stress. He made a really overwhelming situation feel manageable and honestly helped my peace of mind during a tough time. Highly recommend if you're looking for an agent who actually cares.
