What do Clients Say?
Matt Klinowski was invaluable to us as we searched for our new home in a Naples golf community. His knowledge of the character and quality of each golf community's real estate, club amenities and golf experience was extremely helpful. He was extremely proactive and professional through every step of our home buying process. I would recommend him to anyone! A+++

Matt is an exceptional realtor. After hurricane Ian my wife and I made the decision to buy a place inland within a golf course community. After seeing his website we reached out to Matt to help us find a place. After a quick introduction Matt had me email him all the details of what we were looking for. Quickly, Matt narrowed it down to 7-8 communities explaining the pros and cons of each community. We then narrowed it down to 2 communities with a total of 8 houses fitting the bill. It was then up to us to fly down to naples to start a search with Matt. we were able to look at 7 of the 8 places, 1 sold before we could get down here. we narrowed it down to 1 that we really liked, it was priced a little high compared to the unit down the street, matt explained that we were getting high end furniture and a much better view, that being said he negotiated with the buyers realtor and we received a very favorable reduction and were 100% happy. Living in Chicago he and his wife Michelle handled everything after we left, he also was able to move the closing up. I am typing this review from my new Bonita Springs condo. less than 6 weeks start to finish. he even sent follow up emails after we were in here for almost a week to make sure that everything was ok, which it was Thank you very much Matt

We had an exceptional home purchase experience working with Matt Klinowski. Prior to working with Matt, I had spent time with another realtor who was sporadic with follow up and was only interested in discussing listings that she personally represented. In contrast, Matt took time to understand our family needs, lifestyle and likes/dislikes before returning (promptly) with a comprehensive list of options. Once I scheduled a trip to Naples (we live in the Northeast), Matt handled the entire itinerary and tour plan. He artfully reserved all counsel until we had viewed each home and solicited my feedback first. He then provided excellent insight and helped us make our decision. Once we had a target home, Matt compiled a comprehensive set of data to arrive at an offer strategy. Upon offer acceptance, he pulled together every resource we needed for inspections, contractors and closing. Matt’s list of contractors and relationships around Naples is unparalleled. After closing, Matt helped us engage the best contractors and home watch resources in Naples. In addition to Matt’s consultative (rather than “salesy”) approach, he also happens to be an excellent human being. We consider ourselves lucky to have found him.

My wife and I were looking for house in a golf community in Naples, but living in the Chicago area, we had no idea where to begin. So of course, I turned to the internet. I found “Naplesgolfguy” which seemed like a good place to start, so I emailed him. I was pleasantly surprised to get a prompt, professional reply, so our online conversation began. Matt quickly educated my wife and I on the Naples golf community market and the best way to navigate it. He helped us make a list of our criteria and began sending us listings. Not long after, we flew down to Naples and met Matt in a parking lot. My wife and I were immediately impressed with his approach and laid back demeanor. There was no pressure at all, and he told us up front, he’s work with us to find exactly what we wanted regardless of how long it took. We spent a day and a half with him, seeing over a dozen properties. Matt is extremely knowledgeable of the market, and is adept at setting up appointments on the fly. He would always let my wife and I tour the properties by ourselves, being careful not to sway our opinions. Of course, when asked, he would offer his advice and insight. We soon had absolute confidence in him, and we really enjoyed being in his company, something I rarely say about salespeople! On our way home, at the airport, we contacted Matt to make a offer on a house. He adeptly guided us through the offer process and the next day we had a deal! Matt’s attention and responsiveness didn’t end there, he was a huge help all the way through closing, referring us to a lawyer, home inspector, etc., each of whom we were pleased with. Matt even did the pre-closing walk through, sending us pictures and commentary as he conducted it. Needless to say, we are extremely happy with Matt. I cannot recommendation him highly enough and seriously doubt there is a better realtor in Naples, or anywhere else. The “golf guy” is a “golf god” when it comes to finding a golf community home in Naples!

Matt is outstanding! The best realtor we've ever worked with!! Our process started with a set of objectives for our future home and golf community. Matt was quickly able to prepare a short list of communities that could fit the bill. My husband and I are 3,000 miles away...that was no problem at all. We iterated with Matt via phone and email to narrow potential communities some more. When we finally visited Naples, we looked in three communities where Matt had identified homes that were completely in line with our wish list. We ultimately focused on one community where Matt identified a variety of housing options. His advice and opinions were spot on the entire way. We purchased our home last month and are thrilled! We highly recommend Matt. He is the best!
