My fiance and I recently purchased our first home in Gainesville, FL. Matt was our realtor and was more than happy to answer all our silly first time home buyer questions. Matt made the process as painless as possible and I would highly recommend him!

Let me start by saying that over the years, I have bought/sold over 15 homes, so I have a bit of experience in working with real estate professionals. And this transaction was expecially challenging. We live in Colorado, and the home (purchased as an investment before the bubble burst) located in Gainesville. We needed a local agent, but couldn't afford to travel there to meet them. I don't remember how we found Matt, but we sure are glad we did. He guided us on how to price the house, and helped us with recommendations on lawn care, stopped by the house to check on it from time to time, took pictures and posted a very nice write up on the property. He also constantly kept us updated on showings, feedback, and market conditions. And this was a lower end investment property! If we got this level of service with our home, I can only imagine the incredible level of service that higher cost properties would get. I only wish Matt had been there for all of my other housing purchases and sales. Very good job, Matt. Thank you very much. Less

Matt was an excellent realtor to work with. He is very knowledgeable about the home buying process and guided us every step of the way. He was very responsive, both by email and phone. We ended up purchasing a beautiful historic home in an excellent location. Matt helped us negotiate a fair price and get the seller to pay for several repairs. We highly recommend him.

I would highly recommend Matt to anyone interested in buying or selling a home in Gainesville. He responds to emails/calls immediately, and helped us close several weeks early. We will definitely be using him to list our home when the time comes to move again. I can't say enough how great he was to work with! All other vendors we used in the home buying process had nothing but positive things to say as well.

If you are looking for a realtor that will treat you like family then look no further. Matt Thomas has gone above and beyond for us in the search for our new home and during the construction of our new home. He communicated regularly and kept us abreast of any situations that arose during the building process. Even after closing, he still communicates regularly. We highly recommend using Matt Thomas or Thomas Realty for all your real estate needs. We will definitely use Matt in the future and are happy that we chose him as our realtor. He is not only our realtor, but our friend! Scott & Robyn Leynes Less

Matt has been our trusted realtor for over two years. During that time, he helped us sell the remaining 20% of our condos which we converted from a 176-unit apartment complex in 2005. Matt's strengths include his honest and professional demeanor, availability to assist us in managing the units (we are not a local owner) as needed, marketing strategies, and his overall real estate knowledge. Most impressive is the fact that Matt helped us navigate through a very rough market for home sellers, while we still received a net financial return which exceeded our expectations. As a development company, we would not hesitate to highly recommend Matt Thomas to sellers, whether they are selling a single family home, or an entire condominium complex! Less

I worked with Matt to buy a condo for my residency at Shands. As a first time home buyer and someone new to Gainesville, I don't think I could have done it without an outstanding realtor. He guided me through the entire process and alerted me to potential pitfalls along the way. His recommendations re: location were spot on and because Matt is tech savvy, it was no problem to do a majority of the search remotely. He was familiar with which banks had loan programs that suited my needs, which saved me a lot of time. He was also able to work within my schedule when it came to viewing properties. After I was under contract, he was able to recommend reliable businesses for each service I needed: home inspection, home-owners insurance, etc. Throughout the process, Matt was prompt, professional, and friendly. I trusted that he had my best interest in mind, and was not let down. Overall, I had a great experience working with Matt and would recommend him without hesitation , especially to anyone new to the Gainesville area! Less

My time with Matt Thomas was wonderful. He was very fast when it came to getting answers to any questions I had. He was also very patient with me. I never felt pressured or left out in the cold at any time. He knows the area very well and was good about relating the local services that would be of interest to me specifically. He showed interest in what my families needs were and was more then happy to go the extra mile when needed. I cannot say enough in the space that I have here. I very happily recommend Thomas Group Realty to anyone looking to buy a home in Gainesville. I also want to say I did have the pleasure of working with Lore a few times as well who was also very pleasant to work with. Home buying is a very stressful thing to do, but these people do a wonderful job of making it as close to enjoyable as you can possibly get. Less

Matt Thomas put to good use his years of real state expertise in locating and identifying legitimate, qualified renters who would also treat my townhouse as they would of they owned it.

Within a week of listing my townhouse Matt had it rented. Matt was also extremely helpful in educating me as to the proper owner - renter roles and responsibilities.

Matt was a pleasure working with from start to finish. When I called Matt about a particular home I was interested in, unfortunately a bid had already been placed.

I worked with Matt to purchase two condos in Gainesville. Couldn't have found a better person to work with. Having bought and sold many properties for investment purposes since 1984 I have worked with many different realtors. Matt is down to earth and hard working, but more importantly, he listens to what is said and obtains accurate information. My purchases through Matt were done long distance--I live in Pennsylvania and the purchases were in Gainesville, Florida. The distance complicated the transactions but Matt handled everything extremely well and kept me informed at every turn. I'd highly recommend Matt to anyone experienced or inexperienced in real estate. Dr. Michael D. Torchia Columbia, PA Less

Matt helped my fiance and I buy our first house. He was very patient with us as first time home buyers. He worked with our schedule and helped explain every step along the way. We wouldn't have made it through the stress of buying a home without Matt's help. I would recommend Matt to anyone who wants a realtor who is not only professional, but personable and patient.

Matt Thomas is the real deal and the only choice for a Realtor in Gainesville. Professional and exceptional. My wife and I were looking for a start up home and he had us in a great place during the same week of our wedding with no frustration. Outstanding experience!

Matt exceeded my expectations truly in every way. He is such a step up from agents I have interacted with in the past. I would highly recommend working with him to all of my family and close friends.

Matt has all the skills necessary to take a piece of property from listing to closing without a problem. Most importantly though, Matt has a great work ethic and was always prompt in returning phone calls, emails and tackling whatever problems or issues arose throughout the process. As a commercial real estate attorney, I deal with real estate agents on a daily basis and Matt is at the very top of my list for property in north central Florida.

Matt was a joy to work with. He never rushed me while looking at different properties. He always answered my question or found the answer to my questions in a timely manner. Even after I purchased my property, he helped resolve some issues that developed several months after closing. Matt is an honest, hardworking realtor that is knowledgeable and considerate to his clients.

We worked with Matt for almost a year during our serarch for a home in the Gainesville area. I told Matt upfront that we were in no hurry to move and wanted to look at a many options. Despite this, he was very supportive and worked tirelessly to find homes that we might want to consider. In the end, we found a great house at a very good price and we have been extremely satisfied. Matt is certainly knowledgeable of the business and makes the process very efficient. Most importantly, he is honest in his dealings with buyers and instills trust and confidence that he has your best interests at heart.

My wife and I were new to town, and were making our biggest purchase of our lives...a new home! We intervied half a dozen realtors from both large and small brokerage firms. My wife and I ran all of the potential realtors through a compensatory interview and felt that Matt Thomas was the most qualified to help us negotiate the Real estate "waters". Matt not only found our dream home in a few days but also, helped us negotiate with banks and lead us to a great lender. Overall, the buying experience was special for my wife and I and much of that was to do with Matt's professionalism, market intelligence and patience. As long as I live in Gainesville, Matt Thomas will represent my real estate interests. Less
