Q: What advice would you offer to someone just starting out in your profession?
A: Focus on perfecting your craft and taking care of your clients beyond the needs of the transaction. Be a resource for anything else they may need around real estate. It is all about managing the little details along the way and embracing challenges. We are hyperfocused on client care, not just during the transaction, but for years after. Our business is built on nurturing long-lasting relationships. It is equally important to know the local market and to be up to speed on the latest technology and trends.
Q: What brings you the most satisfaction in your work?
A: Helping people realize the dream of homeownership, especially in a challenging market, will always be number one. But besides that, we are both equally passionate about home staging—so much so that we offer our in-house staging services to all of our seller clients for free. The look on our clients’ faces when they see the transformation is priceless, and it is a true labor of love paired with years of experience.
Q: What are your interests outside of work?
A: We are both huge dog lovers, so most of our activities outside of work revolve around spending time with our dogs. Some of Matt’s favorite activities include long walks on the Rehoboth beach boardwalk and visiting museums. Irena enjoys hikes, meeting with her book club and trying out new restaurants with her close friends on weekends.
