Ragan Real Estate Team - R. Matthew Ragan, JD, LLM

Fantastic experience: Matt did a great job helping us secure a house from across the country. He took us on a video tour and was available and responsive. I have and will continue to recommend him to family and friends in the area.

Fantastic experience: Matt was incredible to work with from the second we met. He helped us find our dream home through tours in person and through video, as we were not local. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, supportive and a great resource to help with anything you may need. He has fantastic communication and is easy to work with. He is always prepared and extremely organized. You will be in great hands if you decide to work with Matt. He makes a situation that can be stressful, much smoother and easier to get through. We wouldn’t want to work with any one else. We would give him six stars if we could, he is the best!

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience working with Matt! He helped us find our dream home and guide us through the process with ease. Matt listened carefully to our requests and had a strong sense of properties and locations we would be interested in viewing. He helped us to understand an unfamiliar region as we were relocating from out of state. Having Matt as our realtor was one of the stars aligning to make our cross country relocation a smooth experience.

Fantastic experience: Matt is a phenomenal realtor. He is a great listener and knew exactly what kind of house we were looking for. He guided us so that we wrote a competitive offer. His negotiation skills are top notch and enabled us to buy our dream home. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home. He is responsive, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I feel very fortunate to have enlisted Matthew Ragan as our real estate agent. He did a superlative job assisting in the selling of our house. He was always responsive and available even during his vacation while our house was on the market. He has an excellent knowledge of the local real estate market. He is professional, courteous and efficient and expertly handled negations with the buyer. He is a superb real estate agent who I recommend highly.

Fantastic experience: Matthew is exceptional! His expertise and knowledge of real estate and best practices are truly impressive, but what resonated with us most was his personable approach, genuine care and compassion, and unwavering professionalism. Matthew guided us through the sale of our home with confidence and assurance, earning our trust from our very first meeting. Throughout the entire process, we felt incredibly well cared for and knew that both our family and our investment were in capable hands. We will always be grateful for the level of attention, thoughtfulness, and expertise Matthew brought to our experience. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Fantastic experience: Matt is a true professional and, by far, the best realtor I've ever worked with. From the very beginning, Matt was easy going and very understanding of our circumstances. He was always easy to reach and followed up on every item. He offered helpful suggestions and arranged for other services to help us market our home. I was surprised to get a consultation from a professional stagger, to walk through our home and offer advise in marketing our property in the best light. Matt also provided a professional photographer to take pictures, including drone shots. When it was time to go to market Matt had already utilized his network to create a flurry of activity around our home. We had multiple showings, as well as multiple offers, and sold on the first day at a price beyond our expectations. We were overjoyed by the results, but had not purchased our new home yet! Matt got to work and negotiated a deal for our new home that checked all the boxes. I can't say enough about Matt's knowledge of the market, thoughtfulness and professionalism.

Fantastic experience: We have done three transactions with Matt over the last 10 years or so and we think he's great. He helped us maximize the sale price on both houses he sold for us. He also kept us from making a bad decision when we built our house in 2016. He seems to know every house in the area - whether for sale or not. We highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Matt did an outstanding job from start to finish. He toured our property and provided an accurate assessment of its condition and value in the current market. He answered our questions promptly, explained every step of the process in very understandable ways and gave good advice about potential improvements. When it was time to market the house, his extensive realty experience, knowledge of the neighborhood and overall market conditions allowed for a speedy sale to a well qualified buyer. Overall, our experience couldn't have been better!

Fantastic experience: Matthew helped us securing our first house in a very challenging market. He was very patient with us during the very long process and provided very valuable suggestions. I would highly recommend Matthew if you are looking for someone to help with buying house. He is very knowledgeable about the real estate market in Syracuse area.

Fantastic experience: Matt was highly recommended to my family when we chose to sell our family home of 25 years by multiple people and he did not disappoint ! The entire process of buying and selling a home went well with Matt on our team. Matt exceeded our expectations with his knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to the process. We would not hesitate to recommend Matt! The communication with Matt during the entire process was excellent. Our experience with Matt was excellent and we cannot thank him enough for going above and beyond during this transition for our family

Fantastic experience: We wish we could give more than 5 stars! It's clear why Matt is one of the top agents in the area. He was very attuned to our needs and requirements. He was very responsive and proactive in helping us find suitable properties (even in a highly competitive market), without ever being "pushy" or "sales-y." His knowledge of the real estate history of the Fayetteville/Manilus area AND builders was incredibly helpful for us (out-of-towners!). He is also very well connected to the all the local real estate professionals and extended teams (Lawyers, etc) which I'm sure helped the very smooth and easy purchase experience we had with him. We got the exact house we were looking for and we are very happy! We highly recommend Matt!!

Fantastic experience: Matt was excellent in all aspects of our home sale. He was very professional, organized, objective and direct. His chosen photographer conveyed the beauty of the home and location. We would strongly recommend using him for any real estate transaction

Fantastic experience: Super smooth process from beginning to end! We really enjoyed working with Matt and all of his staff. They got our house sold quickly for an excellent price. Went above and beyond in many areas. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Matt for both buying and selling, and I can confidently say his expertise is unmatched. He has a deep knowledge of the local market and he consistently provided thoughtful insights, even steering me away from homes that weren’t the right fit, which showed how much he genuinely cares about his clients. Matt helped me sell my home quickly and for far over asking. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication made all the difference. I cannot recommend him enough.

Fantastic experience: Matt was amazing to work with. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, responds quickly to messages, and provides helpful advice for negotiations while making sure your concerns are met. We will certainly be working with Matt in the future if we ever sell/buy again.

Fantastic experience: att’s an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced agent, so we knew he could deliver. Matt kept us informed and responded timely throughout the entire process. We couldn’t have asked for a better representative. in addition to my experience, Matt has an impeccable reputation in our market. He's the GOAT!

Fantastic experience: Matthew's extensive knowledge of our subdivision and familiarity with not only our home but also most of the homes in our subdivision gave us ultimate comfort in listing privately with him and his firm. We had some very restrictive listing parameters due to our pets in the home and he was able to appease us and the buyers in a way that felt uninterrupted. All in all, Matt guided us seamlessly through the selling process and allowed us to make our transition to Florida with little anxiety. I strongly recommend his expertise and connections to either buy or sell.

Fantastic experience: During the fall, winter and spring of 2023-2024, I was looking to move back to Syracuse from North Carolina. At this same time, finding a small townhouse or house was difficult due to a reduced inventory in the area I was interested in. Matt was diligence at keeping me informed. When he was informed by a fellow realtor about a property that was going on the market, he gave me a virtual FaceTime tour of the property which I ended up buying, sight unseen. During the time period that I was looking for a place I found some possible properties online that were on the market. I appreciated that Matt would advise me that the properties had some unseen issues which saved me trouble in the future. Once I brought the house, Matt was very helpful in giving me advice regarding services that I needed.

Fantastic experience: Matt provided exceptional service in selling our home. He gave us guidance on pricing and showing our home in the best light. We would highly recommend him to sell your home. We had an excellent offer within three days of listing.

Fantastic experience: I wish we could give Matthew even more stars in some categories, especially in Local Knowledge and Responsiveness. He was always accessible to us, and his advice was sensible and on target. He made sure that only well-qualified buyers viewed our home, reducing the stress in an already stressful process of selling. Matthew is a true professional!

Fantastic experience: Matt is the ultimate professional, in every way. He builds relationships that last decades. Matt is knowledgeable about, and keeps current with, the real estate market and industry; he is super-responsive and has a skilled team that makes buying and selling seamless. Matt listens and quickly learns what's important in bringing contracts to a close. Our experience with Matt is always positive, and with a successful result. He's truly the best.

Fantastic experience: Matthew exceeded our expectations in every aspect of our recent house sale! He is extremely professional and knowledgeable in his field and knows how to present information in a courteous, non-biased manner. My wife and I not only respect and admire Matthew, we really enjoyed working with him! We would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home with complete confidence.

Fantastic experience: Our experience with having Matt Ragan as our agent was 100% positive in every aspect of the process from the initial decision making related to pricing, staging / property prep, and market timing through showings, offers, final negotiations and all details related to closing. Matt provided excellent guidance throughout. More importantly to us, was that the guidance always came with specifics and solid basis rather than just his opinions. His availability to take and respond to calls/issues along the way was more than any agent I have ever worked with during 50 years of buying/selling property. And his experience was strongly evident during two specific parts of this process, as follows. 1. The photos, staging prep, and logistics of showing the property was top shelf quality. Additionally Matt clearly did a lot of advance work in finding, enticing and lining up well qualified buyers prior to the first day of showings. This highly professional ‘pre-showing’ work resulted in 2 solid offers by the next day after showings and a Purchase and Sale contract fully executed within 24 hours of showings. 2. Due to an error by someone in the Onondaga County Registry of Deeds when we bought the property (1995), the previous owner’s Discharge of Mortgage was not properly captured creating a situation that prevented a clear title without a lengthy and extensive recreation of a document trail from 1995. At first it appeared the only option was to void the P&S agreement , address the document issue then put the property back on the market. Matt suggested a holdback of funds approach that would allow the sale to go forward, meeting the timeline of both buyer and seller. The problem there was that the standard holdback amount was prohibitive to us as the buyer and completion of the sale was still at risk. Matt served as the go between in negotiating an acceptable holdback amount to both buyer and seller, and the deal was done. To sum it up I would say Matt Ragan was strong in planning, advance preparation, behind the scenes marketing (i.e. not just waiting for a buyer to call him) and strong in problem solving.

Fantastic experience: Matthew is THE BEST. He has helped us purchase 2 properties and sell another. His negotiating skills are amazing, he's knowledgeable, and he's wonderful to work with. An absolute professional, well known and respected in the industry and the community. He has our complete trust, and our appreciation of his excellent work ethic and attitude. We highly recommend working with him!!!

Fantastic experience: We had the pleasure of working with our realtor, Matthew Ragan, over the course of more than a year (due to housing market challenges posed after COVID) as we searched for our dream home, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Matt exhibited remarkable patience and commitment to making sure we found a home that felt just right for us. One of his standout qualities is his refusal to pressure clients into purchasing something they're not entirely comfortable with. He goes above and beyond to highlight the features of the property, good and bad, ensuring we make well-informed decisions. What truly sets Matt apart is his genuine understanding of our requirements. Even when he believed a particular house wasn't the right fit for us, he personally conducted showings, demonstrating a level of personalized service that exceeded our expectations. His approach is not just professional but also personable, making every interaction feel like a conversation with family. Matt possesses an impressive depth of knowledge in the real estate market, which was invaluable throughout the process. His expertise transformed what is typically a stressful home-buying journey into a genuinely pleasant one. Overall, we are grateful for Matt's exceptional service, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a dedicated, knowledgeable, and personable realtor. Our heartfelt thanks for turning our home-buying experience into a positive and memorable journey.

Fantastic experience: Matthew was great to work with from listing to closing. It can be stressful listing and selling your home, but with Matthew's guidance, calm demeanor, vast experience and professionalism, we knew we were in good hands. We highly recommend Matthew and his Team!

Fantastic experience: Matt was amazing! He is very knowledgeable about neighborhoods and builders which we found very helpful. He understood us and what we were looking for and was patient in helping us find the right house.

Fantastic experience: Matt Ragan was highly recommended to us by family, friends, and our Rochester-based selling agent, and he and his Team did not disappoint! We were moving from out of town and not familiar with the Syracuse market, and he began making us more knowledgeable and comfortable starting with our initial call. After sharing the details about the circumstances of our move and our expectations with him, Matt quickly helped us to initially focus on 5 potential neighborhoods, and then eventually on 3 with 1 as the clear favorite after driving through each one. Initially there were no listings so Team Ragan began making inquiries to current owners to see if any were planning to sell. Eventually a townhome became available, and in addition to showing it to us multiple times, he also met a contractor onsite to evaluate our renovation vision prior to our submitting an offer. Eventually we agreed on an acceptable price range and Matt then handled multiple rounds of negotiations which eventually resulted in the purchase. Throughout the process, we relied on Matt’s extensive knowledge of the market, and as out of town buyers we were especially appreciative of his availability and responsiveness by phone. We highly recommend Matt and his Team!

Fantastic experience: Matt went above and beyond to help our family sell my mom's home of 20+ years. Not only was he 100% committed from the beginning to the end of sale, he was mindful and respectful of my mom's needs during the entire process. His communication with my family was top notch, with quick response time as well as sharing his exceptional knowledge of the local market. If I could offer him a 10 star rating, I certainly would!

Fantastic experience: Matt is knowledgeable, effective, courteous, incredibly thorough, and reassuring. Everything that he assured us would be taken care of was done, and his certainty about the results we could expect were accomplished. One wishes for such a pleasant and rewarding experience, but doesn't get one's hopes up. In the case of our sale (only 2 days before an acceptable offer was received) with Matt as our realtor, we did get what we wished for.

Fantastic experience: Matt was tremendous to work with, helping us both sell our home and find a new one. He understood our needs and wants for a house and didn’t show or recommend to us anything that didn’t fit what we were looking for. He supported us in every step, recommending different subcontractors, attorneys, lenders, etc. Even after closing, Matt was responsive and continued to check in with us on how our move went and how we were settling in. His knowledge of the local market and network is unparalleled. My wife and I highly recommend Matt and his team for anyone that is looking to purchase a home. In CNY.

Fantastic experience: Matt was seriously THE BEST. As a first time homebuyers my husband and I were nervous about the process but Matt made everything so easy. He was communicative, transparent and so so easy to talk too. I would suggest anyone looking for a home to use Matt. You will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t have been more pleased than I was with Matt’s expertise and professionalism. I definitely felt like I received the full package that you wouldn’t likely get from most realtors. He was polite and very responsive to any concerns or questions I had. My house sold in one day and considerably above asking price. If you want the best, Matt should be your choice.

Fantastic experience: Matthew Ragan is THE BOMB!!! Turns out he ended up representing our buyers and us, the sellers! He negotiated that process with perfection. Matt possesses every character trait and business expertise that you would EVER need to buy or sell your house. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Matt to anybody out there in real estate land that's looking for the PERFECT AGENT!!!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I couldn't have been happier working with Matt. He was a true pro in all facets of our house search and purchase. He was very attentive to what we wanted, gave us the advice we needed to hear and was extremely responsive to all of our questions and requests throughout the process. We couldn't recommend him highly enough to anybody looking to buy or sell a home. We would 100% work with him again.

Fantastic experience: Matthew Ragan is an outstanding realtor; extremely knowledgeable about the area and market trends. He was always responsive and helped to guide us through the process of listing and selling our home. He was respectful of our needs and his friendly manner made him a pleasure to deal with. We were very pleased that our home sold above asking price after being on the market for only one day! If you are looking to sell or buy a home, I’d highly recommend giving Matt a call.

Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful experience working with Matt. He listened carefully to what we were looking for in a home and did his best to show us homes that matched our desires. Throughout the process, Matt was responsive and patient. This was our first time buying a home and Matt explained the process to us step by step.

Fantastic experience: Matt represents his clients extremely well. He has extensive knowledge of the area and he always made himself available. He is punctual, patient, and honest. He is a role model for other real estate sales people to emulate.

Fantastic experience: Matt is simply the best agent in CNY. He knows the neighborhoods, has relationships with other agents, understand mortgages and most importantly knows the strategies to formulate a successful offer. In the wild market of 2020, Matt's expertise allowed us to find our dream house which was the only house we had to make an offer on. He guided us through the drama of closing and his calm, confident, knowledgeable aura helped us maintain our sanity throughout such a high stakes transaction. Thank you, Matt!

Fantastic experience: We had an exceptional experience with Matthew! His guidance and expertise when we sold our home resulted in an incredibly fast sale, well over listing price. When it came time to buy, he met with us to refine our goals and he (and the Ragan team) patiently supported us as we moved through various listings until we found our dream home. Throughout the selling and buying process, he gave us consistently good advice and we always felt confident that we were his priority. So grateful to the friends who recommended Matthew to us. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Matthew Ragan and the Ragan Team!

Fantastic experience: We used Matt as both our buyer's and seller's agent given his reputation as a standout realtor in the Syracuse area, particularly the East Side. We were in search of a 6 bedroom home during a period of low inventory, and we were selling two homes. Given the low inventory, we gave consideration to homes that may not have suited us well, but Matt reigned us in and kept our best interest in mind. His communication was flawless, and we felt like his only clients, when in reality he was juggling several. We found a great home, and sold ours quickly and for well above asking. Our experience with Matt couldn't have been better, and we've recommended him to friends who've had similar experiences. You're in great hands with Matt!

Fantastic experience: We cannot speak more highly of our experience working with Matt Ragan. We called Matt for a number of years to show us homes here and there before we finally pulled the trigger and listed our house. Matt was extremely efficient, knowledgeable and responsive. He brought us multiple offers on our home and guided us in purchasing our new home. The entire process was flawless thanks to Matt.

Fantastic experience: Matt was an absolute pleasure to work with on my recent home sale. It was a first-time experience for me, and I could not have wished for a more professional service. Matt is extremely helpful and personable, with a vast amount of knowledge. The closing process went as smooth as it could have, and Matt was always ready to assist throughout. Highly recommended, and should I find myself relocating back to the area he'll be the first person I contact!

Fantastic experience: Matt and his team helped us navigate this market of covid restrictions, low inventory, high demand and crazy negotiating with a needed level head and professionalism. We never felt any pressure to put an offer in and Matt would often know before we would if a house was right for us or not. The focus on the right house really worked out for us and couldn't ask for a better outcome. Communication was always prompt, always on time for showings and I'm pretty sure Matt works 24 hours a day. I couldn't recommend Matt enough for anyone trying to buy a house in the Syracuse area.

Fantastic experience: Was very helpful. Was easy to reach at all times (uses text, phone and email). Has incredible knowledge of the area. Was so easy to work with even with the pandemic that is still going on.

Fantastic experience: Matt and Diane are so competent professional and reliable. We sold our house for more than asking price. Then bought a house for less than asking. Will be working with them again!

Fantastic experience: We reached out to Matthew, cold called really, once we found ourselves in the CNY region after a “panic move” prompted by the pandemic induced sudden evaporation of our daytime childcare. We had high, even unrealistic expectations for our next home given the rather thin market for the sort of homes we found appealing. Matthew immediately exhibited an uncanny ability to evaluate our preferences and tastes against the existing (and potential) inventory. He found us an unlisted “match” after some months of anticipation and not for a single moment did he seem to just want to “close” the deal, rather he simply acted on our behalf as agent and technical expert and allowed us to evaluate his offerings at our own pace. I would offer him my highest recommendation and will utilize his services for all our future real estate needs in the Grester Syracuse area.

Fantastic experience: Matt is fantastic, and we could not have done it without him. He has been incredibly professional, responsive, supportive and great to work with. I would recommend him without reservation!

Fantastic experience: Matt and Diane are the absolute best in the industry and are the definition of real estate experts. They are attentive to detail and have your best interest at heart. You can count on them to be prepared, professional and prompt. We feel fortunate to have had them on our side during the buying and selling process.

Fantastic experience: Matt masterfully guided us during our search for a new home while we were still living outside Central NY. He was professional in every interaction, and had a clear and polite communication style. We benefited from his local real estate market expertise, as well as his broad perspective of real estate transactions and associated process. We would gladly recommend his services, and look forward to working with him for future home purchase or sales transactions.

Fantastic experience: Matt and the Ragan Real Estate Team are the best real estate professionals you will find. We moved to the Syracuse area a few years ago and Matt helped us find the perfect home, which we loved for almost 3 years. When we were relocating out of state again, Matt helped us sell our home...he handled everything from preparing to list, right through negotiating the perfect deal (all during the global pandemic, might I add). Matt was also SO kind to offer to help us find our real estate agent in Massachusetts, which was a HUGE help for us because we didn't know anyone in that area. He personally found us an agent, and since she was recommended by Matt, we knew we were in good hands and could trust her. Matt has helped our family in countless ways and we're forever grateful for all of his help. You will be in the best hands with the Ragan Real Estate Team, you will be amazed by their professionalism, but they are also the nicest group of people to work with! Thank you for all you've done for us!

Fantastic experience: Simple as this, Matt is a fantastic agent. He knows the area well, quality of builders and how the homes turned out and how well kept they are. But he also knows his clientele, as he knew a certain home was not for us as much as we thought it was and Matt was absolutely right. Ultimately we found what we were looking for with his help and could not be happier. Matt is easy to get a hold of, text, email or phone call. Plus he has a lot of great connections in the home business. If you’re looking for a good agent, look somewhere else. If want someone great and knows his stuff, go with Matt.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I met Matt as we began looking at homes, and were quickly impressed by his professional demeanor, knowledge, and most of all, his honesty. Those qualities continued to exceed our expectations as we narrowed down our search, found a home, and successfully negotiated its purchase. If not for Matt's negotiation, I don't believe we would have got the home that we did. As first time home buyers, we considered ourselves so lucky to have found a patient and knowledgeable agent who we felt was always there for us, regardless of how big or small our question was. Matt was quick to respond and flexible to our schedules and did a thorough job laying out options and communicating with us. We recommend Matt to any and everyone without hesitation!

Fantastic experience: Matt was amazing to work with. He provided constant communication and accessibility. He showed us a variety of houses, in many different locations, and provided us the pros and cons of each house. In the end, we found a dream house that we would not have if it was not for Matt's knowledge and helpfulness. Matt is honest and will tell you exactly what you need to know before making an offer and throughout the process leading up to closing. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a realtor.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't have found a more professional, detail-oriented market expert in Matthew Ragan. From our initial meeting to signing closing documents, Matt was thorough, supportive, and always acted with our very best interests in mind. In our opinion he is truly the best real estate agent in the Central New York region. He brings a host of experience, expertise, and knowledge to the real estate sales and purchasing arena that cannot be matched.

Fantastic experience: Matt was extremely helpful to my husband and me as we navigated the process of buying and selling a home. He was patient as we searched for our next home and very responsive to any and all questions we had. His knowledge of the market was invaluable and with his guidance, after only one day on the market, we had two competing offers on our home, both over asking price. He went above and beyond to make sure we not only found a great home to purchase, but that we sold our home quickly and at the right price.

Fantastic experience: We used Matt to buy our new home and sell our old one and I can honestly say that he's the best agent we've ever dealt with. He was very patient throughout our long buying process and is knowledgeable about the local market and the overall process. We highly recommend him!

Fantastic experience: This was our first home buying experience and I don't think it would have been possible without Matt's expertise. He was the ultimate professional and the process was seamless, start to finish. As a typical nervous first homeowner, Matt was always available to answer questions and ease our concerns. He showed us multiple properties and was always honest in his opinions. My wife and I were very comfortable working with Matt and we recommend him wholeheartedly. I have already raved about him to our colleagues and if and when we do this process again, he would be the only one I would want to work with. He goes above and beyond his duties and is always ready for a recommendation when it comes to hiring inspectors, painters, you name it. Matt is the man.

Fantastic experience: We listed our house and moved to other state. Matt helped us and sold house. He checked empty house every week and kept us updated. Matt is very helpful and very professional.

Fantastic experience: We were referred to Matthew to list our family home. Living out of state could have proved a challenge but from our initial meeting, Matt came well informed about the market in the area, gave us great suggestions to maximize our value and was extremely professional, responsive and resourceful. He didn’t try to oversell himself or the value of the home but provided us with realistic information so that we could make informed decisions during the sales and closing process. Our feelings now that the house is closed are even more positive than our initial instinct. He came highly recommended and everything that he did during the period that the house was on the market reinforced that recommendation. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Outstanding Agent! Knows the market, has the best marketing strategies and stayed in constant contact with me throughout the process. House was on the market less than 10 days & sold for more than asking price! There is no one better, period!

Fantastic experience: We met Matt in 2016 in our process for buying our 1st home, till we met Matt we were vague about which home to buy and location. When we met Matt he tried to understand our needs and gave us a very good idea of overall market and suggested few locations based on our priorities and told us to be patient for the right property. Every property Matt shown us gave us both Pros and Cons about property which gave us full knowledge about property to determine which one is best suited for us. He was very prompt in timings, very knowledgeable in showing Property beside his excellent advise. After few months we found of our dream home and Matt helped us going through all process till closing. We would highly recommend Matt for anyone who is looking to buy a home with most trusted agent who will work for you and on behalf of you. Mr & Mrs Siddiqui

Fantastic experience: We sold our house and bought our new house through Matt. From beginning to end he answered our multiple questions, patient in our indecisions, prompt in easing our uncertainties, and most of all caring in our relationship. We never felt as though we were forced to make a decision -- this was most important to us as we started out reluctant to leave the house we built our family in and at the same time eager to move to a new location that could accommodate our family's needs. Thank you, Matt! Thank you, Diane!

Fantastic experience: Matt helped us sell our home quickly with great looking brochures, and invaluable advice about how to organize our home to make a good first impression and quick sale. Matt gave candid, honest feedback when looking at other homes. He told us quickly why he thought a home may or may not fit our needs, and was respectful of our time. When negotiating the purchase of our home got tricky, Matt was on duty at all hours or the day or night, working his hardest to make the deal happen. Without his fierce skills as a negotiator, we would not be in the home we are now. Put Matt to work for you if you're looking for an agent who works quickly, professionally, honestly, and fearlessly.

Fantastic experience: Matthew Ragan is by far the most professional, honest and loyal realtor I have ever worked with. I had the pleasure of working with him when I was looking to purchase my first home in Syracuse, NY and most recently, when I put my house on the market. Matthew is now helping me decide another home purchase and I could not ask for a better person to help assist in making this experience memorable and rewarding. I highly recommend Matthew, you won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Working with Matt Ragan was an absolute pleasure. We had specific criteria regarding the purchase of our home in Camillus and Matt offered guidance and sage advice from the beginning through the end of the process. During the highs and lows, Matt was the even-ground for us which truly helped us to make logical, informed decisions. I would not hesitate to recommend Matt to any first-time or fifth-time home buyer. And although I feel we have found our forever home, if the day comes when we want to sell, the first call is definitely to Matt.

Fantastic experience: Matthew was instrumental in locating the home we recently purchased. More important, he helped us define exactly the type of home and location we were looking for. By the time my wife and I truly understood what we wanted, we had limited ourselves to a neighborhood containing only about 60-70 homes, of which less than 10 were likely to fit our size and budget requirements. Matthew was exceptionally patient with us and our strict specifications. He did not once try to steer us into something we didn't want, he simply adjusted his focus to present us with options which he felt would be in line with our desires. I found this to be truly impressive, as it meant that finding a home we wanted would take some time. Many realtors want to close the deal as soon as possible - Matthew was genuinely interested in finding a home we loved regardless of the time taken to do so. He also knew that we weren't in a need-to-move situation as we already had a house that was meeting our current demands. When the home we ultimately purchased was potentially coming on the market, we were informed of the general area in which it was located (exactly where we wanted to be) and, as promised, Matt called us as soon as it was able to be shown. Without Matt's help I am certain we would still be searching and likely would not have found our dream home so quickly, if ever. In addition, Matthew is by far the classiest, most professional realtor we've personally encountered and if we ever decide to sell this home, he would be the first person we would call without hesitation. Thanks Matt!

Fantastic experience: I don't want to give away his secrets, but Matt Ragan can sell houses. He is very professional while at the same time flexible and easy to work with. He is available 24-7 but seems to have a good balance between work and family. I recommend him to anyone who is interested in selling a high value home in the FM or CNY area.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I retired this year and moved to the Midwest to be closer to children and grandchildren. This required sorting through twenty-years of “stuff,” selling a beloved home in New York, and purchasing a smaller one. What seemed simple at first, turned into a quagmire on several levels. Matt was optimistic, professional, knowledgeable, sympathetic, and because we moved out-of-state as the sales process began “Johnny-on-the-spot” throughout our numerous ordeals. On top of meeting with potential buyers and their agents, he found us a lawyer and met with house inspectors, engineers, contractors, etc. He was always prompt, courteous, and a clear communicator. In the end, the house sold! We do not know what we would have done without Matt!!

Fantastic experience: Matt is the consummate professional. He is knowledgeable, courteous, available, friendly and insightful. He is ethical. Leaving the area before selling our home, we felt comfortable that he would look after it as we would. Cannot recommend him more highly!

Fantastic experience: 100% IN EVERY WAY!! It seems as if all of the reviews tell the same story. Everyone cannot be wrong!!! Matt Ragan represents the consummate professional. He possesses a rare combination of competence and personality. He is a gifted individual in his field. We were leaving the area and needed the right person to represent our expectations. Matt is THAT PERSON. He possesses an extreme sense of being able to combine market conditions as well as your individual needs. He excels in photographing the interior and exterior so as to achieve maximum positive effect. Matt handled every detail flawlessly in resolving any issue to completion. He was always there to reassure you when you needed a boost of confidence. He is always fair but firm in his resolve. This guy even has a LAW DEGREE if needed. If you ever had doubt in your choice to represent you in this major task, DOUBT NO FURTHER. It was an absolute pleasure working with him. As time passed, Matt not only achieved our goals but became a valued friend in the process. THANKS MATT for everything. Respectfully, Barry and Sharon W.
