Comment: My wife and I couldnt 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 couldnt recommend him highly enough to anybody looking to buy or sell a home. We would 100% work with him again.

Comment: 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.

Comment: 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.

Comment: 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, Matts 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!

Comment: 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!

Comment: We used Matt as both our buyers and sellers 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 couldnt have been better, and weve recommended him to friends whove had similar experiences. Youre in great hands with Matt!

Comment: 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.

Comment: 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 hell be the first person I contact!

Comment: 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 couldnt ask for a better outcome. Communication was always prompt, always on time for showings and Im pretty sure Matt works 24 hours a day. I couldnt recommend Matt enough for anyone trying to buy a house in the Syracuse area.

Comment: 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.

Comment: 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.

Comment: 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 didnt 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 were 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 youve done for us!

Comment: 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.

Comment: 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 Matts negotiation, I dont 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!

Comment: 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 Matts 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.

Comment: I couldnt 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.

Comment: 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.

Comment: This was our first home buying experience and I dont think it would have been possible without Matts 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.

Comment: This was our 10th (?) real estate transaction and Matt is the best realtor we have worked with. We used him for the sale of our home and then worked with him on the purchase/build of our new house. On the selling side he helped us stage our house, had good pictures and a video produced and marketed it to other realtors. He also forced us to be realistic on our pricing. On the buying side he knows our market very well, including what neighborhoods, floor plans and designs will likely maintain their value over time. And he knows the reputations of local builders. he saved us from making bad decisions on the selection of a lot, builder and a development. The quality that we appreciate most was his telling us things that we did not want to hear and telling us not to do things that we wanted to do. We highly recommend him.

Comment: 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!

Comment: 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

Comment: 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 familys needs. Thank you, Matt! Thank you, Diane!

Comment: 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 youre looking for an agent who works quickly, professionally, honestly, and fearlessly.

Comment: 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!

Comment: 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.

Comment: 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 didnt 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 werent 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 Matts 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 weve personally encountered and if we ever decide to sell this home, he would be the first person we would call without hesitation. Thanks Matt!

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.

Comment: 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!!
