Matt Cheney - Realtor

Experiencia fantástica: Matt and I worked together for six months to find a property in Chevy Chase. Once we got to know each other a little, communication was very easy. We spoke often by phone, text, and email, and Matt was prompt in responding to questions and issues. I appreciated the use of updated technology -- passing documents back and forth as PDFs, with electronic signing. Ultimately, I did find a place in my target neighborhood that met my objectives. I had announced early my intention to sell my old place to a developer, without an agent, but at my request, on short notice, Matt visited the site and put together a report on the property and selling alternatives, given the house's prime location and run-down condition. Matt's analysis helped me to decide how to proceed and how much to ask for the property; I did sell directly to a developer. I would be happy to engage Matt Cheney again as my agent the next time I move

Experiencia fantástica: Matt did an amazing job helping us with selling our old place, and finding our new home. He consistently offered us calm clear insights about everything from what to look for in a property, to how to understand the current market, or how best to negotiate with a given buyer or seller. All in all, we couldn't be happier with both the process and the results of time with Matt.

Experiencia fantástica: Matt was fantastic to work with. As first-time home buyers, his considerable experience and knowledge of the market were essential to help guide us through the process. We felt that Matt was truly looking out for our interests, such as by pointing out issues that might impact resale for us to consider. He gave us great advice while never pressuring us to rush to a decision. He was also very responsive, which was essential to compete in the fast-paced market of the DMV area. We would absolutely work with Matt again.

Experiencia fantástica: We recently purchased our first home with the help of Matt, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Our home had some special circumstances, and closing took much longer than usual. From our initial consultation, to home tours, to making offers, and finally to closing, Matt was extremely professional and attentive to our needs. Matt has great knowledge about the housing market in the DMV area. He patiently took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and presented us with a variety of options that fit our needs. Matt was always quick to respond to any questions we had—whether it was via email, text, or phone. He was also very transparent about every step of the process, which made us feel confident and informed throughout. Matt was able to get us a great deal on the house. We are thrilled with our new home and are incredibly grateful for Matt's expertise and support. The process of shopping for and buying a home can be very daunting, and we highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to have a seamless experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Matt was incredibly helpful throughout our whole condo sale process. He was professional, efficient, thoughtful, honest, and had great ideas on how to best sell our place in DC for top dollar. I would highly recommend him. Not only has he been in the real estate business for years in DC but he was born and raised here -so he knows the neighborhoods and real estate market like the back of his hand. We'd use him again in a heart beat!

Experiencia fantástica: We were most impressed and pleased with the service Matt recently offered in the sale of our home in McLean, VA. Following is an account of our excellent experience in more detail: written by both Ann & John Gardner: John has known and respected Matt professionally for many years. Recently we contacted Matt to help in valuing and selling our residence in McLean, Va. as we prepared for a move to a retirement community. Matt was particularly helpful. He listened carefully and responded positively in using the resources available through Compassion to ensure we properly captured the value of the unique property characteristics of our property. As a result we were able to complete an off market sale that we felt fully captured the property value as well as achieving the tight closing schedule to enable us to commit to an established closing date at our retirement community. We could not recommend him more highly!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve worked with three or four different real estate agents but Matt is by far the most professional and dedicated. With his help and advice we sold our condo for well above asking price, and his knowledge and experience he found the perfect home for us to buy.

Experiencia fantástica: Matt Cheney has been a very helpful and efficient realtor for our family. He was able to help us look at properties when we are in DC for only short periods of time. He quickly understood what we are looking for and working with him internationally was very easy.

Experiencia fantástica: Matt Cheney is a fantastic realtor who sold our downtown Bethesda condo. He is professional, smart and knows the market. I highly recommend him!

Experiencia fantástica: I must be one one of the more demanding clients that Matt has had (and he deals with some pretty demanding ones) when it came to house requirements. Matt was just amazing in all respects -- from locating the property, negotiating with the builder and bringing to a successful closure. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a luxury home. Matt represents greater among equals in real estate.

Experiencia fantástica: Matt was amazing; he closed the initial deal at the price we asked, and made sure we got the property by seeing us all the way through to closing. He reassured us through some bumps with the lender and helped us make sure the deal happened on time and at the right price! Probably wouldn't have gotten our home without his expert assistance.

Experiencia fantástica: We have worked successfully with Matt on two multi-unit for sale residential projects. Matt is very focused and incredibly professional. He was committed to having a thorough understanding of the product to sell, not just the specific unit features and building attributes, but also regarding the community, so he could tell the full lifestyle story. Matt has a very comfortable demeanor and can relate to the wide spectrum of candidate buyers.

Experiencia fantástica: My wife & I didn’t start with our “dream” place. Matt was patient as we looked at different properties and helped us understand what worked or not for us, so we were able to move quickly once the right place appeared. Negotiations were a bit tricky and Matt was extremely helpful in guiding us through those. Matt continued to support us even after we moved in when some undisclosed problems became evident in the property, helping us deal with the seller’s agent. Also, he is genuinely a nice guy. Five stars all around.

Experiencia fantástica: Matt helped us see the value in locations and condos we didn't see. His knowledge was very helpful for us to make a great decision for finding the right place for us as both a home and investment.

Experiencia fantástica: Matt is an excellent realtor completely focused on giving his customers the best possible home buying experience

Experiencia fantástica: Matt was an excellent real estate agent. He was professional and knowledgeable and readily available when we needed him. We highly recommend him for any real estate needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Matt and his top-notch team was great. Very impressed with marketing effort to showcase our home. The photography, the walking video tour, the 3D doll house, the floorplan, and the Washington Fine Properties hosted web pages was all top notch and super high quality. Matt mobilized his team and got all of that done very quickly. Matt is a super experienced veteran and very responsive. We 1st met Matt when we 1st bought our unit and he represented the seller and he impressed with his knowledge so much that when it for us to sell, we knew we would be calling Matt to represent us. He did not disappoint. You will be well cared for with Matt and his excellent team who really looks after you during the closing process. Start to finish, a plan well executed. Thank you, Matt

Experiencia fantástica: What can I say about the amazing Matt Cheney? He represented us on both the buy and sell sides in 2021 and was a spectacular advisor throughout both processes! A thoughtful collaborator who really listens to his clients, Matt's cool, calm, and collected personality proved to be an invaluable asset during the most crucial (and anxiety-producing!) moments of buying and selling our homes. Likewise, his strategic approach to everything from staging to marketing to bidding to negotiating created quantifiable value for our family. We're so grateful for Matt's expert advice, and we could not recommend him more highly! THANK YOU MATT AND TEAM!!!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Matt Cheney provided excellent, straightforward support for selling our DC condo this past May. He was responsive to our questions and requests, set up meetings w sales colleagues to identify a price, and developed beautiful promotional materials. It paid off: our place at 1745 N Street received a solid, all-cash offer while multiple units also for sale in our building have remained on the market. And a special shout-out to his associate Maria - incredible support. Thanks Matt!

Experiencia fantástica: Matt is very professional and responsive. He knows the market extremely well and provides well considered advice based on his deep expertise. He also believes in building long term relationships with his clients which is a very important in any business but particularly in long term investments like residential real estate.

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Matt was an absolute delight. His support was incredible but what was most impressive is how we discussed the potential outcomes of each and every scenario as we negotiated with the buyer. It was amazing having an advisor to offer pros and cons of each decision and have him provide perspective not based on commission of this transaction but on forming a long-term relationship with a client for years. We are looking forward to working with him on all of our future real estate needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Matt met all of our expectations in the process. It was incredibly stressful for me personally and Matt was very understanding and got me through the process with such an amazing show of patience. We highly recommend him to everyone!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Matt did an incredible job - his understanding of the market combined with his intuition for what sellers were looking for helped us get a house way faster than we thought was possible. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Matt was great to work with. He put forth a very clear path to selling the home. It was evident from the very beginning that he would be successful due to his thoroughness and professionalism. His value add touches such as drawing property floorplans, dollhouse picture views, and entertaining videos differentiate him from other realtors. I would recommend using Matt Cheney to everyone selling their property.

Experiencia fantástica: We were referred to Matt after we originally put our house on the market for over a month with little to no results. When we met with Matt, we were impressed by his professionalism, marketing strategies and overall knowledge of the market. Matt thinks outside of the box, especially with his videos of the property! Within 1 day of placing our house on the market, our house sold above asking price! We can’t say enough good things about Matt and his creative strategies such as the 3D floor plan, videos, and the first class brochures. If you are looking for a realtor, look no further than Matt Cheney!

Experiencia fantástica: Because we live in Northern California we didn’t know anything about the DC condo market. Matt helped us purchase a condo in Navy Yard that our daughter is living in. She’s super thrilled with the condo and the area and we couldn’t have asked for a more knowledge and professional realtor.

Experiencia fantástica: We loved working with Matt in both purchasing and selling our house. We met Matt during a Saturday of visiting various open houses. He was easygoing, friendly, and honest so we decided to work with him in finding a house in NW DC. Matt was great at taking us to view a variety of homes given what we were looking for. Then, when we found the house we wanted Matt was great at moving the process along at the pace necessary in DC (FAST). He did this while accommodating our wild travel schedules and while remaining calm and an excellent sounding board. When it came to selling our house, Matt’s team was super organized about the process. He let us know what to expect at every step, and was transparent along the way. Our timeline moved quickly, and Matt’s expertise is to thank for that. Matt’s excellent. My guess is, you’ll likely find both a real estate agent and friend in him. I recommend Matt to anyone looking to purchase or sell their home in the area.

Such a quick sale was solely based on Matt’s expertise in pricing, marketing, and unique touch to the Washington, D.C. housing market!

Experiencia fantástica: Matt was referred to us by a friend, and we felt very comfortable with him right off the bat.

Experiencia fantástica: I am lucky to have worked with Matt in the past selling my condominiums. He has worked for buyers, sellers, and builders, so Matt is highly experienced on all sides of real estate transactions and has a nuanced, thoughtful understanding of "the art of the possible" in a real estate transaction.

Experiencia fantástica: Matt is a consummate professional, easy to work with and very knowledgeable. He exceeded expectations by successfully marketing and selling out all eight condo units in Lanier Station in Lanier Heights at proforma in what was a very complex and challenging new condominium development. Most importantly, he was patient and communicated in a way that instilled trust within our partnership. Separately, he helped my family and me find and purchase our current home at a very favorable price. We will work with him again and strongly recommend him to others!

Experiencia fantástica: ​Matt helped us find our first home. He was extremely helpful from the outset. We were unsure exactly what we were looking for ​in a home ​but Matt was ​extremely patient ​with us. We started our search in Southern MD, Norther VA and most of DC​, a search area way too diverse to really be useful​.​ Matt helped nudge us along ​without being pushy what so ever ​to narrowing down our options by asking us questions about things that we hadn't even thought of or considered. He also stayed very relaxed and patient on our first weekend house tour when we spent 30-40 minutes at each house even though he only had 15 minutes built into the schedule for each stop​. We ran 2 hours over​ but Matt kept answering our questions and joking along with us​. Matt even helped us figure out things to do on our own to help the process ​along ​by sending us lists of open houses in the areas we were looking ​at ​and giving us suggestions about where to drive/walk in each area ​in order ​to ​get a sense of the neighborhoods. ​ When we were ready to put an offer on our home, Matt was headed to the airport for a vacation that started that night. Even with everything going on, he was able to coordinate the offer, contract and back and forth with the seller's agent. Because of his fast response, our offer was accepted before he even left. ​ His connections proved very useful when it came time to find an inspector for our house. He had relationships with inspectors of varying styles from quick and high level to slower and more detailed in walking you through the process. Overall, we are extremely grateful for Matt's patience, advice and support during this stressful but exciting time for our family. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone searching for a home in the DC, VA and MD areas.

Experiencia fantástica: We would absolutely recommend Matt to anyone searching for a home in the Washington, DC area. We were first time home buyers, and Matt was extremely knowledgeable and detailed when explaining the nuances of residential real estate to us. We both work hectic jobs and often only had time to tour homes on Friday mornings or Sunday afternoons, and he was extremely flexible and generous with his time to ensure we saw a wide variety of places. Matt was also very patient with us as we slowly expanded our search parameters until we found a charming home in the perfect neighborhood. He gave us solid advice throughout the entire process and we can't thank him enough!

Experiencia fantástica: Matt is one of the most knowledge (if not the most knowledgeable) real estate brokers I've ever had the privilege to know. No matter what type of property you're looking to buy or sell, I have 100% confidence in Matt's experience and knowledge base to ensure that transaction moves forward in your favor.

Experiencia fantástica: I have personally worked with Matt on hundreds of transactions since 2003. He is a consummate professional and has a deep understanding of the new construction market in Washington, DC. He has worked with dozens of well-known and respected developers in the DC area. In recent years he has transitioned into the resale market with the same level of knowledge, professionalism and courtesy. What’s even more impressive is that while he originally worked with the developers to sell these homes he is now working with the clients who purchased them to sell and to find their new homes. Matt is a super fun person to work with and to trust to buy or sell a home. He’s simply one of the best in the DC area!
