Matt helped us find a home when we moved to Longview. He went the extra mile and measured every room for me so I could see how our furniture would fit. When we needed to sell our home Matt helped us navigate the process, was honest about the market, and offered great advice. Thank you for your kind help.
I never heard of a real estate agent who didn't want to sell houses, but here one is. Matt listed a house I badly wanted to buy, then threw up obstacle after obstacle (outlandish demands like that I offer nonrefundable earnest money and carry title insurance myself, refusing to complete basic work he had already started and without which the house will rapidly degrade), and when we bent over backward to accommodate him he finally started hiking up the price above what he himself listed it at.
Matt Peters personally sabotaged his own sale to me and I don't understand his motives or trust his abilities anymore. I absolutely would not recommend doing business with him as an agent, buyer or renter. His response below conveniently ignores the fact that my final offer met his list price, covered all closing costs and relieved him of his responsibility to install necessary features of the home before he was done flipping it. As of 25 minutes ago though it did include an admission that he did not want to sell the home. He listed a home he had no intention of selling.
If you enter a negotiation with Matt you don't know if he wants to complete the transaction successfully, if his power struggles with business partners will interfere, or if he'll send vague but ominous messages to third parties when you hold him accountable (update: he has now falsified a Google review to punish my agents for my review). I fear for the renter who pays $1650/mo to a landlord who thinks gutters are a luxury in a town that receives over 42 inches of rain annually and can't keep his anger issues out of his work.
