George: A Real Estate Group

I can’t say enough great things about working with the George Group and Matt Jarreau to buy our first home. Matt was incredibly supportive and patient with us as he helped us navigate the process. We moved from another city, and Matt’s wealth of knowledge about neighborhoods and market trends was invaluable. Matt went above and beyond to do video tour previews of homes for us when we could not make it to town. Matt is an excellent and honest communicator. He made sure that we were informed buyers, helping us identify critical issues and major systems with houses we were looking at. We never felt rushed or pressured during the process. I don’t think we would have ended up in such a great spot without Matt.

I met Matt Jarreau at an open house in the summer of 2024, and he did a fantastic job staying in touch, keeping me updated on homes that fit our criteria, sharing local market trends, and answering every question along the way. Over a year later, when we were finally ready to buy, Matt was the first person I reached out to, and he got to work helping us right away. What truly stood out was his deep knowledge of older Richmond homes and his honesty. He never hesitated to point out when a house looked pretty on the surface but would likely need major work behind the scenes. Throughout the process, he was patient, thorough, and always willing to walk us through our questions and concerns. As first-time buyers navigating a competitive market, he helped us successfully purchase our home and has continued to be terrific at connecting us with local contractors and tradespeople as we settle in and make updates.

I have purchased three homes over the last decade with Matt Jarreau, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Matt goes far beyond aesthetics and truly educates his clients on what matters in a home purchase. He consistently walked me through the age and condition of major systems like the roof, HVAC, and water heater, flagged older units early, and gave realistic estimates of future maintenance costs so there were no surprises. Matt is incredibly knowledgeable, proactive, and responsive. He also has an excellent network of trusted tradespeople and vendors, which made navigating inspection reports and post-purchase improvements seamless and efficient. Whether responding quickly during negotiations or helping line up work before or after closing, he was always a step ahead. On top of being exceptionally competent, Matt is genuinely fun to work with. Buying a home can be stressful, but he makes the process feel clear, supported, and even enjoyable. I would work with him again without hesitation.

I have known Matt Jarreau for over 15 years and in that time he has sold several of my homes and helped me purchase others(yes, I move a lot). Matt has been with me through every piece of my journey and is not only an exceptional real estate agent but a very patient one. He is sharp, can read the market and doesn’t overprice your home so it sits indefinitely on the market. I highly recommend him and the entire George team, whether you are looking to buy or to sell a home.

We had an outstanding experience with Matt Jarreau at Hometown Realty. He sold our home quickly and for a great price, with clear and consistent communication throughout the process. He also expertly handled the purchase of our next home, carefully balancing the timing under a very tight deadline. Even six months later, he’s still following up and helping with small issues, which says a lot about how he works. Reliable, responsive, and genuinely invested in his clients. An absolutely fantastic experience.
