Matt was the best realtor I have ever had. I’ve actually bought and sold five houses over the last 20 years and I have always had difficult experiences with realtors. But Matt was the best. Every step of the way was simple and I really enjoyed working with him. He sold my house in about 10 days of it being on the market. He worked hard, knows the housing market, and understands what people are looking for in a house. I took all of his advice and the house sold so quickly I was completely floored. And he was so nice and kind to me and helped give me advice with the purchase of the house that I bought in Washington, which happens to be close to his wife’s family‘s house. (Crazy coincidence). Words cannot express how grateful I feel to have found him as my Realtor in Laguna Niguel. He truly is the best.

Matt was an exceptional partner in both the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our new one. From the start, he brought a strategic, hands-on approach—guiding us through every detail of preparing our home for market and connecting us with trusted contractors to ensure it showed beautifully. His responsiveness, professionalism, and clear communication made the entire process seamless. When purchasing our new home, Matt’s deep knowledge of local neighborhoods, market dynamics, and the offer process proved invaluable. He went above and beyond through inspections and remodel planning, introducing us to top-tier contractors and offering thoughtful recommendations on where to invest for lasting value. His design insight and attention to detail were truly impressive. Working with Matt was an outstanding experience from start to finish. His expertise, integrity, and commitment to excellence set him apart. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home at any level.

Matt was outstanding. After helping me get my house ready to list, Matt got me an offer for more than asking the first day. He was professional every step along the way. Since I am out of town often, Matt took over the day to day necessities of selling my home. The whole process was easy and no stressful. He even went out of his way to help me move bulky furniture from my top deck. Thank you, Matt. I am very grateful. I highly recommend him. Scott Levy

Selling our 23-year family home in Laguna Beach was a significant decision. We lovingly raised our kids in the home, did a full remodel, and had put a lot of care into details that made our home special. From our very first meeting with Janelle and Brandon, we felt completely supported and confident in their expertise and capabilities. Their entire team saw and felt how special this home is, and they developed a strategy and marketing plan to showcase our home's unique features. Their deep understanding of the local market was evident, and they guided us to invest in several important upgrades to the home which enabled us to price our house at the top of the competitive range. What truly impressed us was their attention to detail, their relentless work ethic, and their marketing. They handled everything from the professional staging and photography, which made our home look absolutely stunning, to coordinating showings with minimal disruption to our lives. Their communication was exceptional – we were always kept informed of every development, and they were always available to answer any questions we had. They skillfully navigated multiple offers and ultimately helped us secure a price that exceeded our expectations. The entire transaction, from listing to closing, was handled with professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care. Selling a home can be stressful, but The File Group made the entire process remarkably smooth and even enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful for their dedication, hard work, creativity, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for us. If you're looking to sell your home, we wholeheartedly recommend The File Group. Their knowledge, commitment, and personalized service are truly unmatched.

Brandon Goethals and Claudia Corzan were terrific to work with. They helped us immensely as we work through identifying and negotiating our new Laguna Beach lease. We will refer them to friends within our community as the experience could not have been better. When it comes time to buy in Laguna Beach, The File Group will naturally be our go to resources. Wonderful experience throughout!
