Matthew Morgus

I’ve worked with Matt twice now in the last six years and can say both times have been a pleasure. The first time was back in 2009, as a first time buyer. He helped me find a gorgeous 1940’s condo in Atwater Village. Unfortunately, I got the jitters and decided to cancel escrow, but none of that was on him. Throughout the whole process he showed me plenty of units and was always available.
It was because of how enjoyable things went the first time, that when I finally decided to jump back into real estate the following year, I reached out to him again. At the time he was traveling and put me in contact with one of his colleagues who ended up selling me my unit.
Owing him for not buying the first time, I naturally went with Matt again when it was time to sell. Through it all he was there to help decide when to list and at what price, photography, staging, open houses, and was always a quick text or phone call away.
After one broker open and one public open house, we had three interested parties. Ultimately we decided on a quick, all-​cash buyer and everything closed smoothly within 2 weeks, and I have Matt to thank for that.
Buying, selling, the guy will get it done.

we recently completed the sale of our home in echo park with matt, and had a flawless experience. we accepted one of multiple offers well above our asking price a short week and a half after the listing. he was super attentive throughout the thirty day escrow and we had no hitches. clean paperwork, easy going demeanor, and access to all the best resources made selling our home as easy and painless as possible. we can’t wait to work with him again on our next home purchase. highly recommend.

Matt was an incredible asset to us as first-​time homebuyers. He helped us to get specific about what we were looking for, brought us to new areas in our search that we never would have thought of, and was very flexible in working around our busy grad school schedule.
When we finally found the place we wanted and it was time to negotiate, Matt helped us to get the place for the right price, going to bat for us on necessary improvements, our preferred closing date, and a host of other challenges that we wouldn’t have known how to approach on our own. When we’re ready to sell (and find a new place) Matt will be our first phone call. We are super happy in our new digs, and with the great service we received from Matt.

From the onset Matt had the right attitude. When we find your home, not if. We had been looking for a place with a variety of different realtors for four years, but never found one who really got what we were looking for. Not only was Matt able to pick up on our tastes, he had the inside scoop on the market, getting us into some places before they even hit it. Referred to me from another friend who had found a great place with him, Matt’s a soft spoken man of his word. I have no doubts that without his quick thinking and incredible work ethic, we would still be looking for a place!

From the get go Matt was on top of everything! My husband and I were interested in selling our two bedroom, two bath condo in Silver Lake and came across Matt’s website. The fact that Matt called us within an hour of emailing him says a lot about his work ethic and professionalism. After our first meeting Matt had a plan and we were immediately put at ease by his level of organization. He advised us on any changes to make to our property, hooked us up with awesome home stagers, set up a photo shoot, created an amazing website for our home, and immediately started publicizing the condo in preparation for our first open house. One aspect of his service that really impressed us was that he didn’t just leave a key for other realtors in a lock box; he was very clear that he would be responsible for showing the house. That proved to us that he genuinely cared about how the property was presented and was confident in his ability to sell it fast. Our condo was on the market for mere days (a day even, if I recall correctly) and the open house was a crazy success. After one open house Matt came back to us with a long list of offers over our asking price! Every step of the way Matt kept us informed and answered our questions right away. Our condo is sold and we couldn’t be happier! If we sell another property, we will no doubt use Matt again.

I have been toying with the idea of buying a home for at least ten years. The whole process just seemed so daunting that I never got around to giving it serious thought until February of 2012. I wasn’t sure where to start, so I talked to my friend Shaughn B., who had just bought his own home. He referred me to his realtor, Matt, and I am so glad that he did. Matt is super mellow and low key, he doesn’t come across as a pushy salesman at all. (I had seen some super amped-​up, kind of crazy realtors at open houses, so I wasn’t sure what to expect). If you liked the houses he was showing you, cool, if not, that was ok too. Also, he didn’t hold back his opinion if he thought a house was terrible. He gave us some great advice too, like dumping Chase for a smaller, private mortgage lender that was much easier to work with. I have had friends that used Chase to fund their mortgages, and in more than one case the deals almost fell through beacuse of Chase’s lack of responsiveness. Matt also seems to have deep knowledge about a lot of areas, we were looking at east LA and he showed us great houses in Eagle Rock, Pasadena, and Highland Park, but I know that he works on houses way further west, too.
Ultimately, it only took two weeks to find our dream house. There were multiple offers on it, but Matt got in there and got us the house. He hooked us up with great inspectors, and was super patient during the inspection process. I called him in a panic pretty much every time I saw a new form, and he calmly guided me through everything. My home search was quick, but I’m sure that dealing with ignorant, panicked first time home buyers can’t be fun. If he was annoyed, he never let it show. :) Before March was over, everything was done and we were moving into our new home! Using a site like Redfin can be instrumental in the home buying process, but getting a realtor like Matt is crucial in making your home buying dreams a reality.

I have done business with Matt and he is an honorable man. He is a great Real Estate agent. He is a man of his word, intelligent, knowledgeable about properties, and so easy to work with. I work well with straight forward communicators and Matt is that. I had a complicated transaction that was time sensitive and he came through with flying colors. I am so happy with my interaction with him that he is my one and only Los Angeles Realtor referral. I am totally happy with my Matthew Morgus experience.

I was a first time home buyer with modest hopes for buying a home. Matt worked with me from the beginning with honesty and integrity about what could work for me. After a couple of properties, Matt quickly understood exactly what I was looking for in a house.
After looking for less than 8 months, I found a house that fit all my requests and Matt wasted no time getting the ball rolling. I was able to read documents online on my phone and laptop which made the whole deal possible. Matt secured my offer while I was out of town in Chicago having a slice of pizza and a beer. I came to find out that my offer was the lowest, Matt convinced them I was the best option, saving me thousands of dollars.
Closing was quick and painless even for my first house and he got me in the new place right before the holidays! What a guy. If you want a real estate agent who is on top of things, tech savvy and not full of cheesy real estate gimmicks, then Matt if your guy. I look forward to working with him again.

If Wired married Dwell and had a Realtor baby, it would be Matthew Morgus. We’ve bought and sold previous homes, but our experience with Matthew as our listing agent blew everyone else we’ve worked with away. His calm and professional demeanor combined with his tech-​savvy and creative approach sold our house in 2 weeks. Whether buying or selling, skip the others and go straight to Matthew.

After a long and fruitless search for an affordable Downtown condo, I was giving up hope. My parents and I had already met with three realtors who did little more than email us MLS listings. The properties we viewed were short sales, uninhabited for months and stuck in legal limbo. Unless we were willing to buy a tumbledown «fixer» in El Sereno, it was looking like the City of Angels was beyond our means.
Thankfully, I was referred to Matt Morgus in the eleventh hour by a mutual friend. Unlike the aggressive Downtown hustlers who spent half the time glued to their cell phones, Matt was patient, attentive and committed to finding us something great. Incredibly, he even suggested we rent for a year and explore the market at our own pace. Never once did we feel pressured or outclassed.
After a brief search, we found a foreclosure in Los Feliz with a stunning view of the city. Matt guided us through the bidding process, fielded our calls at any hour and expertly navigated the bureaucratic maze. We ended up closing escrow in less than six weeks, right in time for my girlfriend and I to relocate from Brooklyn and Las Vegas. After seven months, we have nothing but praise for the property and the neighborhood.
As a delightful bonus, we also made a friend in the process. I can personally vouch for Matt’s outstanding character and sincerity, in both his professional and personal life. I’ve rarely had the pleasure of meeting someone of his moral caliber, let alone in the fiercely competitive, testosterone-​fueled world of real estate. With this in mind, I have no hesitation whatsoever recommending his services to anyone looking for a new home in Los Angeles.

I met Matthew Morgus a few years ago when he volunteered to speak to my high-​school students about his career in home realty. I kept his contact information because I could tell from his presentation that he was a caring, diligent, honest, and knowledgeable home realtor.
This year, I contacted him because I was ready to buy a condo. After my initial email, we communicated often via phone, email, and face-​to-​face meetings about what I was looking for, what steps we would take, and actually looking at places together. Within just a couple weeks, I found a great place! Of course, the place I wanted was a «short sale,» which typically takes much longer than a normal sale. With that said, Matthew was so on top of things that the sale went through pretty fast due to his efficiency and communication skills with all parties involved. Not only that, he made sure that I got to keep all the appliances in the condo and that I did not have to put down a «good faith» deposit when the seller requested this. Overall, I am extremely happy in my new place and very pleased with the whole process.
I now highly recommend Matthew Morgus to all my friends and colleagues who are looking to purchase a home. From my experience, he is an exceptional realtor who will make buying a home one of the most rewarding experiences.

I met Mathew when he was selling a mid century house down the street from mine. I told him the situation I was in with my home, (it was non-​standard for sure) and he went out of his way to help me sell it in a way that was conducive to the the constraints of my family’s situation.
He is the type of realtor that Is actually concerned with ethics and the needs of his clients. Too many realtors today only understand how to do things in a cookie cutter manner, or in a way that maximizes their own personal gains, they don’t take into account the best interests of the buyer or seller. I really believe that is not so with Matt, and I give him my highest recommendation.
Also, he sold our house in 2 days, worked out a miracle on our appraisal, and we closed escrow in 28 days!
If you are looking for someone who is honest, down to earth, and doesn’t buy into the typical real estate scare tactics mantra of doing business. I would highly suggest you call him.
