ABOUT MATTHEW
Getting to Know Me
What made you fall in love with real estate?
There’s nothing quite like seeing the excitement in a young family’s eyes at the closing table. That moment is what drives me every day to be the best Realtor I can be. My goal is to take the stress out of buying a home so my clients can truly enjoy the experience.
If you weren't a real estate agent, what would you be doing?
I always dreamed of being a professional golfer—though I’m not sure I had the talent to make it! I did, however, spend nearly two decades as a golf professional at two private clubs in North Atlanta.
What's the most interesting property you've ever sold?
One of the first homes I sold in the Rivermont community always stands out. It sat atop a steep driveway, giving it an incredible treehouse feel. Every room had its own deck, offering peaceful views of the surrounding trees and wildlife. The primary bedroom occupied the entire top floor, and with the right renovation, it could be a true showstopper.
What's your favorite part of Atlanta and why?
The diversity! Atlanta is known as the “City of Trees,” but each suburb offers a unique vibe and lifestyle. My personal favorites are Roswell, Virginia Highlands, and Norcross. My wife and I are big foodies, so we love exploring trendy and unique restaurants. That said, Alpharetta, Milton, and Johns Creek are home to some of Atlanta’s best golf courses, so I spend a lot of time there, too.
A Little Fun
What's one house-hunting myth that needs to be busted?
That house hunting is all about finding “the one.” The needle-in-a-haystack approach can be exhausting. A knowledgeable Realtor turns it into a process of elimination, helping you cut through the clutter and focus on the best options.
Would you rather sell a haunted mansion or a spaceship-themed house?
Being from Scotland, where haunted houses are pretty common, I’d feel right at home selling a haunted mansion!
If you could have any celebrity as a client, who would it be and why?
A Top 50 PGA Tour professional—because let’s be honest, golf balls and clubs aren’t cheap!
Beyond Real Estate
What's your favorite weekend activity when you're not working?
Golf, fly fishing, and grilling on my Big Green Egg. And yes, it’s possible to do all three in one day!
If you could live anywhere in the world (besides here), where would it be?
I have dream homes in many places, so it’s tough to choose just one. But I’d love to have a home in the UK so I could visit more often.
Whats' one home feature you can't live without?
A garage! Scraping frost off the windshield isn’t fun. Plus, it’s a secure place for storage and FedEx deliveries.
What’s your dream vacation spot?
Anywhere with warm weather, charming shops and restaurants, and just enough quiet for my wife to relax with a book while I sneak in a round of golf.
If you had to describe your work style in three words, what would they be?
Knowledgeable, loyal, and calm under pressure.
