Serving North County homeowners
Matt works with sellers in Carlsbad, Encinitas, San Marcos and Vista. Discuss your current home, where you would like to move, and whether a smaller home, a permanent primary residence or an assisted-living community fits your plans.
Support for your home sale and transition
Home-sale strategy: Review your property’s value, preparation needs, marketing and selling timeline.
A custom plan: Connect the sale of your current home with your next housing decision through Matt’s Forever Home Program.
Estate-sale coordination: Discuss help arranging the logistics of selling personal items.
Vendor referrals: Ask about contractors, maintenance providers and senior-living placement resources relevant to your move.
Move planning: Discuss the timing of your sale and move, and identify outside help you may need for sorting, packing, moving and settling in. Confirm each provider’s scope, availability and costs before engaging them.
How we get started
1. Listen to your goals. Talk about your preferred location, timeline and the people you want involved.
2. Review your current home. Discuss value, condition and preparation options.
3. Build your transition plan. Compare housing choices and identify the support you need.
4. Agree on services and costs. Review the real estate agreement and any separate vendor proposals.
5. Prepare, market and sell. Coordinate the property sale with your next steps.
Fees and outside services
Your initial consultation is no cost and no obligation. Real estate compensation and the scope of representation are agreed in writing. Movers, estate-sale providers, contractors and other outside professionals may charge separately; discuss their fees and responsibilities before committing.
Your priorities set the pace
You decide what matters most and who should participate. Tell Matt how you prefer to communicate and whether you would like a family member or adviser involved. An initial inquiry can describe your housing goals without sharing medical or private financial details.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to sell before we talk?
No. The initial consultation is an opportunity to explore your options without committing to a sale.
Can family members join the conversation?
Yes—let Matt know whom you would like involved and what you want to discuss.
Can I explore assisted living as well as a smaller home?
Yes. Matt’s Forever Home Program includes planning for downsizing and exploring assisted-living options. Care and placement decisions should be discussed with the appropriate providers and advisers.
Are moving, packing and estate-sale fees included?
Do not assume outside services are included. Discuss the specific work, provider and fees before approving a plan.
