Jacob was recommended to me by someone who described him as "Amazingly competent and honest as the day is long." Still, I interviewed 9 agents. He was the only one who asked me what I was looking for in a real estate agent, what kind of support I needed. My little house had an odd layout and needed a lot of work. I had ambitious move-out/sell-by goals that I had been told were not possible to accomplish. Other agents told me to just "cut my losses" & sell to a developer. I wanted to try to save the house. Throughout, Jacob remained positive, motivated and present. I'm not kidding when I say every single piece of advice & recommendation was spot on, every call or text was immediately responded to no matter the time of day, no question was considered dumb. He was patient and present throughout. I know he had other clients but he made me feel like I was The most important one. Even my neighbors noted how friendly and professional he was, how he went above and beyond to help me prepare to sell the house. As a result, the house sold in 5 days, over asking, and closed in 16. Nothing short of amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better working relationship. I look forward to continuing to work with Jacob as I search for my new home. I know I will appreciate our friendship for years to come.

Jacob Matalon did an amazing job helping me buy my first home and was extremely helpful throughout the entire home buying process. He gave me constant updates on what was happening, negotiated heavily on my behalf and was always transparent with me. I really appreciated the clear communication and the confidence I had knowing Jacob was always looking out for my best interests. I cant recommend working with him enough. I will definitely be using Jacob Matalon again in the future. If it’s your first time buying a house give him a call and he will take great care of you.

We started with the intention of just strictly looking at homes to get a sense of what we like in a home as my wife and I, being first time home buyers, were planning to purchase a home later in the year. We didn’t know where to start as we didn’t know what we wanted, what to look for in a home, or even what we could afford. Before we even toured any properties with Jake, he offered to have a coffee chat to get to know us personally and what we were looking. Right away, we knew that Jake cared about his clients and is very knowledgable, honest, thoughtful and patient. Seeing that we were just starting our search for our home, he showed us all the different kinds of homes, new, old, split levels, ramblers, etc. to get a sense of what we like in a home and the style we gravitated towards. Very quickly though, we ended up finding a home we fell in love with and he negotiated with the builder on a deal that we could not pass up on! Jake is a true advocate for his clients and made the home buying process approachable. He thoughtfully asked questions so he could understand what was important to us and guided us through every step. We can’t recommend him enough for anyone looking for a realtor who will have their best interest!

Working with Jacob is like having a true pro in your corner. He was easy to reach, quick to respond, and always straight with us. No fluff, no pressure. If something extreme was on inspection, he walked us through it. What it means and what it may cost to fix. We felt lucky to have this sort of guidance and clarity. When we found the house we loved, it turned into a competitive situation. Jacob walked us through a smart strategy, kept us calm, and helped us win without feeling reckless. That alone made all the difference and proved his worth. Many of our friends have missed out on the home they fell in love with. If something wasn’t right, he told us. If we needed reassurance, he gave it. After our experience we trust him completely and would work with him again in a heartbeat. Thanks Jacob!

If you ever have the opportunity to work with Jacob, I would strongly encourage you to take it. He was the missing piece in helping us successfully sell the home where we raised our family. At this stage of life, the house had simply become more than we needed. Jacob was exceptionally responsive, honest, and realistic throughout the entire process. What stood out most was that he genuinely had our best interests at heart. Early on, he suggested a hands-off approach, explaining that the process often moves more efficiently when his team takes the lead. Rather than asking us to make countless decisions about paint colors, landscaping, and other updates, he and his team handled those choices based on what is currently in style and what buyers are responding to. At this point in our lives, we simply didn’t have the time or energy to prepare a home for the market, and this approach was exactly what we needed. Jacob coordinated everything seamlessly, and the result was a smooth process and a sale that achieved top dollar. We are very glad we listened to his guidance. We were not only impressed by Jacob’s professionalism and attention to detail, but also by his maturity, judgment, and follow-through. He exceeded our expectations, and we are grateful for the care and confidence he brought to such an important transition in our lives.

I cannot say enough good things about our Jacob! From day one, he treated my home as if it were his own. The care, attention to detail, and genuine pride he took in every step of the process truly stood out. Jacob went above and beyond, making sure everything was perfect, communicating with honesty and warmth, and always keeping my best interests at heart. It never felt like just another transaction; it felt like a partnership built on trust and respect.

Jacob was outstanding! He worked very hard to research the market and held multiple open houses. He gave us his unbiased advice and guided us to a smooth closing. I recommend him for anyone looking for a trustworthy relator!

After spending years going back and forth about buying a house (hello, millennial anxiety), I finally took the leap and I’m so glad Jacob Matalon was the one guiding me through it. He was the only agent who truly felt invested in my journey, not just the sale. He took time to educate me, answered all my questions, and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. When the right house came along, Jacob helped me move fast—and my first and only offer was accepted. He even checks in weeks later to help with homeownership questions. Thoughtful, professional, and genuinely kind— I can’t recommend him enough!

If you ever have a chance to work with Jacob Matalon, take it. Would it came time to sell the family home, I was extremely lucky to run into Jacob. Over the course of the six months it took to empty out, refinish, stage and sell the house, Jacob was always there with craftsmen to recommend, gardeners to help out and even helped carry boxes to Goodwill! Through every step he was willing to think through the pros and cons. For example, when I asked him if it was worthwhile buying a new fridge, he said no, but definitely, yes to paint. When it came to pricing, he was sensitive to my needs, but yet, realistic about the market. So to sum up, I highly recommend Jacob, you will not go wrong if you decide to work with him.

I would highly recommend Jacob to anyone looking for a realtor. He helped my wife and I close on our first ever home in Shoreline and our experience working with him was exemplary. Throughout the search process, Jacob would go out of his way to schedule walkthroughs of different listings and would go out of his way to make sure that he was at every listing. He took the time to listen to our preferences and gained a solid understanding of the type of home we were looking for. He's honest and is not afraid to tell you if something doesn't look like a good opportunity. When we decided to put an offer on our home, he connected us with several different mortgage brokers, contractors, title companies, and anyone he thought would be helpful for us in our home buying journey (which can be super stressful). During negotiations he kept an open line of communication, negotiated in our best interest, and filtered out some of the stressful conversations that happen during closing. He got us the home we wanted at the price that fit within our budget. Jacob's hard work, compassion, and diligence helped us find our dream home. Even to this day he calls to see how things are going, making sure that we are up to date on warranties and any other thoughts that we may have missed before closing. His professionalism and experience truly made our home purchase one that my wife and I will cherish.
