Hi there, I'm Matt. I've been helping people from all walks of life find amazing homes right here in Woodbridge and in Northern Virginia since 1989.
Over these past 30-plus years, I've watched our neck of the woods transform from a mostly rural town into a bustling suburban area of the greater DMV.
Maybe you're dreaming about a place near Occoquan Regional Park where your kids can play by the water. Or you need to sell a house in Lake Ridge before your big move. Or maybe you're someone who's relocating here from somewhere out of state.
Whatever brings you here, my team knows Northern Virginia inside and out. And while, yes, we're Woodbridge experts, we've also helped plenty of families in other areas such as Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Prince William County, Manassas, Dale City, and Springfield.
As you probably already know, the Woodbridge area has a lot to offer. Whether you work downtown or at the Quantico Marine Base, you have easy commute options because of your proximity to I-95 and Route 1. If you're heading into DC, the Woodbridge VRE station on Horner Road makes that daily commute much more manageable.
If you've got kids, they'll get an outstanding education through Prince William County Public Schools. As for weekend plans… take the family to Leesylvania State Park for some outdoor fun, catch a movie at the AMC theater near Potomac Mills, or grab dinner at one of the many restaurants along Harbor View Boulevard.
My clients appreciate how I keep things simple. Let's face it - buying or selling a house can be daunting, especially around here where properties come on and off the market in as little as a few days.
That's exactly why you'll want a trusted expert who knows what he's doing, has decades of experience in this local market, and who – most importantly – puts your needs first.
I don't operate a big company with hundreds of agents. That means, when you work with me, you get more personal attention. Or as I like to say… when you work with me, you're family.
Looking to buy your first home around in Northern Virginia? Getting your dream home for the right price often depends on access to local expertise. Northern Virginia's market moves fast and prices vary greatly based on factors such as which side of Route 1 you're looking at.
From the townhomes near Occoquan Bay to the single-family neighborhoods around Lake Ridge, and from the condos near Woodbridge town center to homes in Burke near the VRE station, I've helped hundreds of first-time buyers find homes they love in neighborhoods that fit their lifestyle and budget.
I always start by sitting down with you and getting a full understanding of what you're looking for. This is an open conversation – I want to understand what you really want so that I can best serve your needs. Once I have a clear picture, we can get started with the process.
First, we'll get you pre-approved with a lender. Many first-time home buyers don't realize how critical this step is.
But think about it… when it comes time to putting an offer down on a house, do you think you'll have the most competitive offer if it's uncertain whether or not you'll actually have the financing to finalize the deal? It's a small step but is absolutely essential.
Once pre-approved, I help you understand target home prices that will ultimately fall within your budget, factoring in all costs, not just the sale price. For example, property taxes are different in every county. Prince William County runs about $1.13 per $100, but if you're looking at something in Fairfax County, you're talking $1.15 plus additional fees. You'll also want to consider if any HOA or other fees might be involved.
I then help you look for homes to see. Of course, you're welcome to look for properties yourself on sites such as Zillow and Redfin. But if you'd like extra help, I'm always happy to help you with this step.
We'll then take a look together at any homes you identify. As we walk through the property, I'll give you my personal take on what I think it has to offer (or pitfalls I think you should avoid).
When you land a home that you'd like to move on, I'll create a competitive offer that protects your interests and will handle all of the logistics, such as coordinating inspections according to Virginia real estate regulations. Most importantly, I'll use my 30+ years of experience to negotiate the best deal possible for you.
My ultimate goal is to make sure you feel confident and informed throughout the entire process, not rushed or pressured into decisions you're not ready for.
When it's time to sell your Northern Virginia home, you want an agent who understands local market dynamics and has a proven track record of getting homes sold quickly and for top dollar.
My seller's agent services combine strategic pricing, professional marketing, and skilled negotiation to maximize your return.
I begin every listing with a comprehensive market analysis specific to your neighborhood and property type.
Whether you're selling a townhouse in Lake Ridge near a golf course, a single-family home in Manassas close to the Manassas Regional Airport, or a waterfront property in Rippon Landing with Potomac River views, I go much further than any Zillow or Redfin estimate can provide you… I analyze recent comparable sales, current inventory, and seasonal factors to price your home competitively based on local knowledge and trends.
My approach goes well beyond simply listing your home in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). I also coordinate professional photography that showcases your home's best features, facilitate open houses, and leverage my network of buyer agents throughout Northern Virginia.
When offers start to come in, I'll negotiate the best deal possible for you. I've seen everything from buyers trying to lowball to bidding wars over popular properties. Whether we're dealing with inspection issues after finding problems with the HVAC system or negotiating closing dates around a seller's move outside of the DMV, I know how to get deals done.
Moving here from somewhere else? Northern Virginia can seem pretty overwhelming when you're trying to figure out where to live and don't yet know the area. Should you be near the Woodbridge VRE station for that DC commute? What about being close enough to Quantico but far enough from the traffic on I-95? I help families sort through all these details every single week.
I work with tons of military families getting orders to Quantico Marine Base - they usually want to know about neighborhoods like Dumfries and Triangle where you can get more space for your money, or areas like Stafford where the schools are solid and you're still close to base.
Federal employees heading to jobs downtown often ask me about places with easy VRE access, like the neighborhoods around the Rippon station or areas near the Woodbridge station where you can actually find parking.
Corporate folks transferring here from other parts of the country are usually shocked at our home prices, but they love being able to walk to restaurants in Occoquan or take the kids to events at the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas.
I spend time showing them the difference between living near Potomac Mills where everything's convenient but busy, versus quieter spots like the neighborhoods around Lake Ridge Golf Course.
Here's what I tell people: you can live in Burke and take VRE from there, or you can be closer to Woodbridge and deal with more traffic but have better shopping. Want great schools? Look at areas feeding into West Springfield High or Robinson Secondary. Need to be near Dulles Airport for work travel? Maybe consider areas closer to Centreville or Chantilly.
It truly depends on what you're looking for. And since you're newer to the DMV, I can help you identify the best places to consider based on your personal situation.
