A Selection of praise
“I’ve been working with Matt for nearly 10 years and couldn’t be happier. He’s helped with finding a condo for rent (2014), buying my first house (2016), buying our forever home (2024) and, now, helping us with our 1st rental property. A family member we recommended Matt to also found quick success in buying her new place and selling her old one - across the state!
I can’t say enough good things about Matt. He’s very knowledgeable and his guidance re: sale price, timing, offer strategies, etc. always ends up being spot on. Matt is honest, responsive & reliable, transparent, patient and very low-pressure; he truly wants you to find something you love. Plus, he’s also full of great space/style/design ideas too!
We will continue using Matt for any future needs and consider him a good friend now, and someone we can always rely on. I highly recommend him to anybody looking for a lifelong agent.”

“We were lucky to find Matt when we had to quickly make a move from NYC to Michigan for a job opportunity. Matt immediately put our fears aside and made us excited about our move to Michigan. He provided excellent service and was dedicated to finding properties in the areas we were interested in. When we visited the properties with Matt, he had extensive knowledge about each property and the surrounding community. Matt's passion for Michigan shines through with his clients and it makes you excited about starting a your life there.
We never felt pressured with Matt and he was patient as we searched for our perfect home. He also offered to look at properties for us when we couldn't be there and never rushed us into making quick decisions. We appreciate his extensive knowledge about the housing market in the Detroit suburbs and how he was committed to finding us something perfect and affordable for our current life stage. We highly recommend Matt to any prospective renter or buyer - you are in wonderful hands! He is passionate, patient, responsive, and ensures that each step of your search process is seamless.
After we moved into our new home, we appreciated Matt's follow-through and his check-ins to make sure we were settled and if we needed anything. He truly cares about his clients and their happiness. This extra step goes a long way!”

“Matt was the best realtor to work with, he really made the moving process easy! He always took the time to explain things very clearly to us, was available whenever we needed something and provided great ideas to help us get our house! He was never pushy and always had our best interest in mind. We appreciate the time and effort he put into helping us buy and sell a house, I will be recommending him to all our family and friends in need of a realtor!”

“There are not enough good things we could say about Matt. We have done four deals with Matt, two selling and two purchases. Matt always kept us informed, kept us grounded and in-line with what was happening in the market, and has never failed to meet the objectives he established up front and with our goals as a seller and buyer. But, outside of just the buying and selling Matt goes above and beyond when he has helped us make choices about renovations, styles, windows and flooring well after a deal was done. That tells us he cares about his clients. We would recommend Matt to anyone, and as long as Matt will have us, we will continue to use him for all home buying and selling.”

“Matt was fantastic to work with. We relocated from Illinois to Michigan and didn't know the area outside of renting for a year in MI to try to make sense of it all and figuring out our next step. This was our first home purchase as we delayed for career mobility and flexibilty. The thing I most appreciated was the open conversation of the houses we looked at. We didn't really know the areas too well that we were looking to buy in to. We told him what we were looking for. He told us the upsides and downsides of what we looked at. He was like a consultant and guided us through the process from end to end and was never pushy. We originally thought we wanted to be in the "mix of it all" but after a little exploration found a home that puts us close to it at a budget we could afford and with the size of home we want with the yard size we want and can grow into. He is a great listener and helped us through the process with minmal stress. With any purchase like this without unlimited funds it becones a "what is most important to you" scenario. IIt was a learning experinece for us and Matt was along for our journey of our learning of what we valued the most. Matt helped us out tremendously. We couldn't be happier with the results and our new home.”

“Matt is an exceptional real estate agent with a vast knowledge of the industry, an extreme attention to detail, and a deep understanding of his clients' needs.
As first time homebuyers in an insanely competitive housing market, Matt made the entire home-buying process seamless and stress-free -- from applying for a mortgage to closing, and everything in between. We felt at ease making our biggest purchase knowing we were in good hands with Matt's support.
His knowledge of the housing market & real estate industry is second to none. And he guided us through the entire journey as if we were his #1 priority, available to us 24/7, and explaining everything in laymen's terms along the way to ensure we understood every single detail and intricacy.
With multiple competitive offers presented, the seller's agent noted her desire to work with Matt as a key selling point making our offer stand out among the rest. This is just one of several examples demonstrating how reputable Matt is, and a testament to the level of service he provides.
We have the upmost trust and respect for Matt, and truly believe if it weren't for his impeccable support, reputation & expertise, we would still be looking for a home months and even years to come. I could not recommend him more for anyone looking to sell or purchase.”

“I chose Matt as my agent after meeting him for a viewing of one of his listings. The property had obvious issues that my brother openly discussed, and Matt did not try to convince us otherwise. The next day he followed up with me via email out of the blue with a set of listings in my price range/according to my criteria.
They say “common sense isn’t so common”.
Well basic professional courtesy and things like integrity, competency, motivation and hard work aren’t so common either. Matt impressed me with his honesty and his motivation.
He is, in my opinion, the ideal agent.
10/10, I 100% recommend Matt, do not hesitate!”

“We would highly recommend using Matt Kraft as a realtor. He was so helpful during the home buying process. He has been in the industry for quite some time and has a great deal of knowledge about the structure and inner working of homes. He was able to quickly identify problem areas or things to we needed to think about before making our offer/purchase. He was also super patient with us since it took about a year to find the perfect home and we adjusted our search area a few times. Thanks so much, Matt! We love our new home.”

“We highly recommend working with Matt for buying or selling your home! We recently worked with Matt to sell our home in Berkley. Upon meeting Matt, we were quickly put at ease due to his amiable personality and confidence in his work. Matt came thoroughly prepared with several strategies for selling our home. We appreciated the time he took to explain each strategy and the data to support it. We decided to complete several cosmetic updates to the house before selling, and all of Matt's contractor recommendations were a pleasure to work with. When our home listed in January, we were pleasantly surprised with having several offers after only 2 days on the market. Matt guaranteed it was a stress free experience and negotiated a great deal for us and facilitated a quick closing. We could not be happier with our experience and would highly recommend working with him in the future.”
