Client Reviews

Overall had a good experience working with Matthew. He is good at what he does and made the whole process a pleasant one. -Nina


I had a great experience with Matt DeFede when finding my dream home. Matt and I met a few months back through a mutual friend. When we first met, he asked me about my lifestyle and what I wanted in a home. He was always eager to show me anything I was interested in and would give me the positives and negatives in every home. I felt like he was ALWAYS looking out for my best interest and continued to steer me in the right direction. Matt clearly knows the NJ market and guided me until I found the home that met all of my needs. Matt is a knowledgeable, honest, and available when you need him most; which like many realtors is nonexistent. I will not only use him for all my real estate needs but HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who needs guidance and knowledge to find that perfect home. -Tara Yasenchak, Clifton NJ


Matt is a pure professional…. he has knowledge of the market very responsive…A real pleasure to work with…-William Rosa, ReMax Wayne NJ.


Matthew has very in-depth and experienced knowledge which makes him one of the best real estate professionals I have ever worked with. 🙂 –Matty D. Desantis


Matt is a very reliable person to work with. If I were a seller/buyer I would love Matt to represent me in any transaction given.-Agnes Z.  Coldwell Banker


We had a great experience with Matt. He worked very hard on a difficult transaction to help sell our home. We would definitely recommend him to others selling.
–Brian Sullivan, Sold a Home in  Nutley & Bought A Home in West Caldwell NJ


My home was listed for sale with Century 21 for over 9 months and I was not happy with the service, communication or response.  That is when I called Matthew DeFede. It was the best call I could have made.Matthew assured me that if I listed with him, he would get the house sold. He was good to his word! We closed the sale 2 days ago!  Matt was the consummate professional. He is honest, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and was in constant communication with me to keep me informed and answer any questions I had, through the whole process. I truly believe that without his excellent work and expertise, the house would still be on the market. My only regret is that I didn’t contact him sooner!  I would recommend Matt to anyone that could use his services.
He is the BEST!  “Thank you, Matt.”

– Lorell Bing, Nutley NJ


I will recommend him for anyone and everyone I know! The most professional and hard working person I have ever met. He got us the house we wanted for the price we wanted!
– The Stewart Family,  Leonia NJ


Matt helped us find our very first home! He spent allot of time with us based on our needs. He drove us around all the areas telling us what he knew about them and was always honest. Thanks Matt for helping us through the process!
–Jen & Omar Baez, Bought A Home in Waldwick NJ (Bergen County)


I contacted Matt to assist me on the the best route to selling my home. Matt came to my house and explained all the options to me, clearly defining what was best for me and my financial situation. My home is currently awaiting closing this month. If it wasn’t for Matt’s guidance and mentoring, I would have been lost. I can’t thank him enough for all his help. He is highly recommended
–Ronald, Short Sold My House in Nutley NJ


Matt De Fede was an excellent real estate agent. Best thing I like about Matt is that he’s a straight shooter and was not afraid to voice a displeasure with a house if it didn’t suit our needs. He instinctively knew what we were looking for from our first house seeing meeting. Being a first time homeowner, Matt was very helpful in guiding us through the entire process – start to finish. Best compliment I can give Matt is I consider him more of a friend than a real estate agent.

We are so happy with our new place, and also thank you for renting our townhome in Cambridge Heights so fast!-Annie & Kenneth Chung, Bought A Home in Nutley, Rented A Townhome in Nutley


It is my pleasure to recommend Mr. Matthew DeFede whether selling or buying a property. He has the experience and know-how of many, many years in real estate but his personal service is exceptional.-Paul Lerin, Bought A Home in Union NJ
Matt DeFede helped my wife and I purchase our first home recently, and was a big help during the process. Commuting from NYC, he drove us around Bergen County, taught us about the different areas, and helped us put in our offer and ultimately close. He did a great job.-Omar, Bought A Home in Waldwick NJ


I have dealt with few agents before I contacted Matt. Since I’m quite young to become a homeowner, many agents weren’t taking me seriously as a potential buyer. But Matt didn’t perceive me as a waste of time. As a result, last week I closed on a beautiful multi family home and I would like to thank Matt for it and highly recommend him to others. He is truly a professional who not only knows ins and outs of his trade but also treats you with respect and patience. He spent his entire Saturdays showing me 6-7 properties at once for months (since I was traveling all the way from Brooklyn, i preferred seeing as many as possible in a day) and explained details I should be paying attention to in a home etc. There were even instances when I liked a certain house but he would point out some serious structural problems and advise me against it. He never pushes or “sells” you the home and the only question he asks after viewings is “What do you think?” If I buy another property in the future, I will surely contact Matt again!-Dila, Bought A Multifamily Home in Kearny NJ


Matt has made the selling process a pleasure for my family multiple times even during difficult times. His marketing skills are second to none. An agent without his skills isn’t going to bring maximum exposure which is needed. His knowledge and professionalism will help you better understand the market unlike others who just want your listing and tell you what you want to hear. He also goes beyond by bringing other professionals to stage you home for best appeal. By not using him you are wasting time and potentially missing the chance to sell your house. A++++. Matt is a must have when selling or buying your home
