Matt Guy

Professional Service:
I feel that real estate is a service business and finding an agent you are comfortable with is important and similar to connection with a good attorney, accountant or financial advisor. I treat my clients with respect and I like to show them the hard work and ethical standards that I choose to use in my everyday practice. With many diverse transactions under my belt, I have the experience and knowledge to help my clients meet their dreams. I am able to provide clients comprehensive real estate solutions with a high degree of competence and professionalism. My goal is to help my clients make the best, informed decision regarding their real estate needs and feel that communication is a very important aspect throughout my clients home buying and selling process. I work throughout the Portland Metro Area, and have lived on both the East and West sides of Portland.

Like selling or buying a home, first impressions are paramount to the success in obtaining a sale. In the same way your impression of your agent is also important. My youthful appearance defies my 35 years of age, and 5 years of real estate experience. I hope that my professional image shines through and that you will find my experience, knowledge and energy helpful and refreshing as do many of my clients who have rewarded me through their repeated use and referrals.

Love of Portland:
I love homes. I really do, and I am very excited to live in a city with so many beautiful old homes. I love the craftmanship and the varied and unique histories of each home that I am involved with. Also, whether it is with a Buyer or a Seller, I enjoy working to help people with their goals. A real estate transaction is an exciting time, and I enjoy working through the complexities of the transaction and having the ability to solve a problem when it arises. One of my favorite times during the sale of a home, is at the home inspection when I get the chance to discuss the home with the inspector and explore the various parts of the home and the interesting construction used.

I love Oregon. I am proud to be a life long Oregonian. I love the outdoors that it has to offer, and I love the many activities and restaurants around Portland. I am also proud to live in the neighborhood that my Father grew up in and to share in the history where I live. I live 8 blocks from the church that my Aunt and Uncle were married in 52 years ago. I also love the environmental spirit that this community has. Whether shopping at the many natural food stores, or enjoying the many great parks, Portland enjoys a great progressive spirit that makes it such a wonderful place to live. I love that Portland is the most bicycle friendly city in the United States.

More to me than real estate:
I have spent a good portion of the last 8 years playing competitive Ultimate Frisbee, and over the past few years have competed in marathons and triathlons, and plan to do many more. In my spare time I enjoy running and walking the neighborhoods to see the interesting character of the communities. I have raised over $3000 for the Windermere Foundation through pledges from my family, friends and clients while running in the past two Eugene Marathons.

When I am not working, I am spending time with my partner, Mary, and our wonderful pets: Chaucer and Root, our cats, and our Golden Retriever, Beckett.

Qualifications:
5 years in real estate. Leadership training through Windermere/Cronin & Caplan. Assistant Foundation Representative. I have a background in construction, custom service and management, and bring that knowledge to my real estate career. I am a graduate of the University of Oregon with a degree in English, and thrive on my ability to communicate and to handle the details of a real estate transaction with professionalism, integrity and care.
