Matt van den Boogaard - Realtor

Matt is a fantastic experienced realtor who is friendly and easy to work with who also understands your requirements very well. When I was looking to purchase an investment property I discovered WHITESTONE Select Properties Group through good reviews. From the first meeting I had with Matt I was confident that I found a realtor who can cater my real estate needs for my best interests. Only with a single one to one meeting I was able to connect with Matt and retrospectively Matt was able to clearly understand the type of property that I was looking for. Within two weeks I viewed a property that was on sale, within a month the sale was completed. The process was very smooth and Matt provided all the information that I needed to complete the transaction. With that I was able to posses an excellent property to suit my requirements which I am very happy with. I would highly recommend Matt for anyone who is looking to purchase real estate in Lower Mainland area. He has extensive knowledge on properties for sale in the areas of Langley, Surrey, White rock and Cloverdale.

Matt has magical powers! When I found my dream home he made things happen for us and we outbid the other buyers. When it was time to sell, he sold both of my homes within a 2 week span! His team is simply amazing and everything they do is seamless. I will only go through Matt going forward and will always recommend his services to everyone. He truly goes above and beyond to ensure your needs are met and he cares so much about his clients as they become lifetime friends. Trust me when I say that he's the best of the best. Matt is my lucky charm in this crazy market. His track record will wow you for sure.

Matt was such an integral part of the search for our first home. My husband and I could always count on him at any time of day or night to answer our questions and address any concerns. He made the process easy.

Matt recently assisted Becky and I in our very first home purchase, a condo in Vancouver near VGH. He did a fantastic job and I can easily recommend him.

A few characteristics really stood out. He was honest; Becky and I had our sights set on a different condo initially, but when he read the Strata documents, gave a direct opinion to not make an offer. It would've been an easy sale for him, but he knew it wasn't really what we wanted.

He was also very prompt, hardworking. He responded to torrents of questions in detail and punctually. As first time buyers, we had lots of questions and he did a great job making it all understandable.

Lastly, I thought he absolutely rocked the purchase negotiation. I won't go into the specifics, but his tactic was the perfect balance of aggressive yet educated and realistic, and I'm quite convinced we got the absolute best price possible given some subsequent events.

All around a great job!

Conflict-of-interest disclosure: Matt's dating my sister, so that obliviously biases me. As such, I've tried to give concrete examples above.

After a year of trying to sell our home with no success, Matt was recommended to us. Signing with Matt was the best decision we could have made. Matt was there to work for and with us. He never pressured us, rather he shared all pertinent information with us, and allowed us to make our decision. His marketing strategies were amazing. From pictures to drone footage to advertisements in both the paper and on social media. Matt covered all the bases. He kept us up to date on a regular basis and his straight forward honest approach was much appreciated. Matt never hurried when answering our many questions. His knowledge was very apparent. Matt always made himself available to us, and was able to sell our home in just over a month. Not only did Matt sell our home, he travelled out of town to assist us in purchasing our new home. He assisted us with what questions to ask, he represented us through the negotiations so that the purchase price was one we felt comfortable with. Overall Matt in our opinion went above and beyond. He exceeded our expectations on every level. Working with Matt will be one of the best choices you could make.
