Testimonials
Sina, Laura C.,Stefanie, and Stephanie thank you for all of your help and patience. Making the decision to short sale was tough, but you guys made it as painless as it could be!
— Jody
You and your staff made a very stressful short sale process much more manageable. Everyone in the office was kind, resourceful, and always prompt in calling me back with answers to my questions, of which there were many. Thank you for all of your help in navigating through this crazy real estate market. I will be sure to send referrals your way! Thanks, again!
— Casey
You were great as were your staff, particularly Laura and Melissa. I was always kept up to date during what became a very difficult escrow. If it were not for your staff I never would have been able to get through it! Many Thanks.
— Bruce
It is amazing experience working with your staff. I found my condo less than one week and the whole purchas process was less than a month. And it is very good price too. I definitely will recommand your group to my friend and family.
— Dana Chen
Finally... thanks. I don't know too many agents who would have stuck with my sale with the bank being so uncooperative.
— Ethan Strum
The job got done which is the most important part of this, but this was NOT an easy process. Our bank was really screwy and made you people jump through many stupid and unnecessary hoops. You took it all in stride and made it happen. We ARE in a better arrangement now in a +55 community and are beginning to get on with our lives. So I guess what I mean to say is THANKS VERY MUCH for handling this for us.
— James Denning
I liked the rapid response to my questions.

Kenny was extremely helpful in our search for a property. He was friendly and did not at any time pressure us to make a purchase. He usually responded to our questions and requests within minutes by phone or email. He is very knowledgeable about the market and we would recommend him any time to those who need an agent.
— Patrick H
Thank you so much for not giving up on my place. Your staff are wonderful and responsive especially Litsa Peters and Anthony. They always kept me in the loop of the status of my property. Thank you so much for representing me and I will be sure to use you again as well as refer all my friends and family to you.
— Kathy Palabay
Matt and his group did a great job explaining to me how a short sale works and walking me through the process. I would definitely recommend them.

Matt, I want to personally thank you and your staff. Everyone that I worked with were very professional and always seemed to provide us with answers when we needed it. Thanks to Battiata we completed our short sale. You guys are the best and we cannot thank you all enough!
— Chad Smith
I was amazed by the outcome!!! Matt Battiata's team said that my short sell would take 6-9 months and it only took roughly 3 months and I was out of my condo. The team was very informative with emails and phone calls of everything that was going on. Now my fianc??e and I can move on with our wedding plans with all the money we are saving monthly. I LOVE IT!!! If you want the job done and done right...Call Matt Battiata. I can't thank you enough!!
— Neil Belmont
I was happy to find out everything you said in your commercial was true. With great service my property sold in a timely manner.
— William Pruden
Short selling can be a very scary prospect. My husband and I did some research and decided that Matt Battiata knew his stuff and how right we were. He made the process of short selling actually a pleasant experience. We felt he was on our side 100%. He gave us all the information necessary so that we could make the decisions that were right for us. We never felt alone and he and his team were some of the most ethical, professional and caring people we have ever worked with. Matt and the Battiata group are now my real estate agents for life and I make sure I recommend him to my friends and family. You will never find better service, information and caring anywhere else.
— Dorian Jones
Thank you Matt and entire team! You responded to our every need and quickly I might add. The amount of traffic was incredible. You all were readily available for any questions or concerns anytime and every time. I have already recommended to many of my friends and some are now utilizing your services and I will continue to tell my friends of your top notch company! Again, THANK YOU!
— Patty Moody
Working with Mr. Battiata and his team to help me sell my home was a good experience. They made the process easy and understandable. They were always available to answer all of my questions. When I tell you how friendly this company was, I really mean it! We don't get great customer service anymore with many companies but with this company, I was very pleased. Thanks to them all.
— Theresa Vasquez
I highly recommend Matt and his team for anyone looking to sell their property! Everyone was extremely professional and diligent. I felt like I had an entire company working to help sell my home as fast as possible. The transition was seamless and fast! Thanks for all your help!
— Matthew Dix
Matt is precisely what every seller seeks in a real estate agent: professional, courteous, HONEST, and hard-working. Due to Matt's efforts, we had showings several times per week --- very impressive especially in a "down economy". More importantly, the showings we had were to QUALIFIED potential buyers, not just anyone so he could claim that he was bringing people through. Our experience with Matt was very positive...Matt works hard and he gets the job done, and it pays off for the sellers. I would absolutely recommend Matt and his team to everyone.
— Mark Michalko
Thank you Matt, Anthony and staff!!! After trying to handle my short sale on my own with my realtor, I finally turned to the Battiata Real Estate Group. The service was exceptional. Most importantly you got the deal done and allowed us to move on from a very difficult situation. We will contact you again when we are ready to buy.
— RR
I really appreciated how professional you and your staff are. I'm especially impressed with how effectively and quickly you sold our property for a fair price despite short sales all around our neighborhood bringing values down. Thanks so much!
— Jeff & Kim Kiehn
The service was excellent in every aspect. Everybody did their job. You had my house listed everywhere, in the newspapers, on the net, etc. Thank you so much for what I call "going above and beyond."
— Mike DiLisio
Matt was reassuring and very thorough in his explanation of the short sale process. We got more than the asking price and I truly owed nothing. I am very happy at the outcome.
— Anna Page
I thought I couldn’t trust anyone after dealing with a law firm hoping to get a loan modification. Thankfully though, everything that Matt said his group could do, they did. I can breathe easier now that it is all done! Thank you SO much to EVERYONE at Battiata!!
— Jamie Hughes
Selling a home can be a daunting, complicated process. After the short sale of our home, I made a comment to my husband in regards to the sale process with the Battiata team; I could not believe how quick everything was! From the first time I made contact with Mr. Battiata himself, I was pleased with the information I was given and the fact that I was kept up-to-date on every transaction. When we purchase our next home, we will not hesitate in coming back because our experience was positive from beginning to end. My husband and I highly recommend this team of professionals!
— Rosabel Lopez
This is the first Christmas that I will spend in my new home. I sometimes look around in amazement that, hey, this belongs to me, I'm not renting! I want to thank Battiata Real Estate and Kenny Smith for helping me get here. This, being my first home, was made a more difficult task because of the price point I could afford. It put me in the same market as those with money looking for a property to buy and rent out. We looked all over the county and made offers on at least a dozen properties. Some of those properties were the definition of "Fixer Upper". After about five months of looking we were told that one of the offers was being picked up and a month later I was signing papers and given the keys. Anyhow, I couldn't have gotten here without your help. I think a lot of agents would have given up on me because of my monetary constraints, but not Kenny, and not Battiata Real Estate. Thank you.
Thanks!
— John Wirges
It took about a year and half to complete, but it was the fault of my lender. The Battiata Real Estate Group diligently worked to get this completed. I was very satisfied.
— Kim Overholser
It was a pleasure doing business with the entire Battiata Team. This was a long and tedious short-sale and it took a group of dedicated people to pull this deal off. Thanks again for all of your help and thinking outside of the box.
— Stewart McClure
The Battiata Group was with me through every step of the selling process of my condo. Everyone I worked with was helpful, knowledgeable, prompt & communicative which helped with a speedy and smooth selling transaction. Thanks!
— Heidi Heislup
From my first phone conversation with Matt to my last email from Melissa the entire process went smoother than I could have imagined. I couldn't have asked for a better team to work with! I look forward to working with you and your team again in the near future. Thanks so much!!
— Ryan Gomez
Our whole experience with Matt and the entire Battiata company was terrific. They walked us through every step, explained things in detail, even when we were most stressed, and sold our home quicker than imagined. Listing to close of escrow was 3 months in this market! Thank you Matt!!!
— William & Scarlett Thomas
We purchased a home in Carlsbad in mid August. Our agent was Mike Matoso. The experience was great. I had worked with a number of agents before being referred to Mike. We had a very specific criteria for the home we were looking for and none of the other agents we worked with seemed to take an interest or put in the effort to find what we needed. Mike did his research before we met and had a plan for each step in the process. We found the home we wanted the first day we looked. We ended up in a competitive situation on the home we wanted as it was only on the market 1 day. I truly believe that without Mike's diligence to the process, we would not have been the buyer that was selected. We closed in under 30 days and now love our new home. The rest of the team was great as well.
— Tom Burns
I am truly grateful to Matt and his team for helping to sell my property. Everybody was very professional and extremely helpful to get the transaction completed as quickly as possible. Thanks again for all the help.
— Dave Lively
I had assumed that navigating the short sale home buying process would be overwhelming and that I would end up frustrated and without a property. Boy was I wrong. Fortunately I was paired with realtor Kenny Smith and I was rewarded with an enjoyable home buying experience. Kenny helped me purchase a very modern and spacious short sale condo in San Marcos and I was amazed at how easy it was to purchase a short sale property when you have an individual skilled in that process on your side. One of the perks of using Battiata was access to their personal moving van - an amenity that was of much appreciation during the last stages of our home purchase. We will certainly be using Battiata again for our real estate needs, and are looking forward to having Kenny over for our first BBQ at our new home.
— Meghan Martin
I am very satisfied with my short sale. Thank you very much Battiata. Job well done.
— Vanessa Sebastian
Thank you for working hard to get the short sale of our home completed. We encountered some issues but your persistence paid off and we were still able to find a buyer. Thank you so much! We will definitely consider the Battiata Group the next time we purchase a home.
— Catherine Sablad
We were very impressed at the diligence, patience and top notch professionalism your team had through insurmountable odds... you folks came through. I have established great respect for your team. If you want your property to have a successful closing, this group is with you all the way. We highly recommend you to everyone. We will never forget how you stayed with us all the way.
— Duane and Patti Siegmann
The Battiata team is top notch. They relentlessly worked through the many challenges that they faced with the sale of my home. I highly recommend the Battiata Group to others in need of a hardworking real estate agent. Thank you Matt and team!
— John Hanson
This is my first home and Kenny Smith helped educate me during every step of the process. When someone does something difficult while making it seem effortless, well that's what you call an All Star, or All Pro. That describes Kenny's capacity to help find you a home.
— John Wirges
Everyone involved in each step of the process answered my questions/concerns right away. I never had any problem getting a hold of anyone, even on the weekends. Everyone was very helpful.
— Sasha Hannon
The service was prime quality with a minimum of hassle. The people were efficient, prompt and very courteous and professional. The house sold quickly.
— Judith Hess
I found you as well as your team extremely professional, knowledgeable and very good at returning calls and emails. You truly are an expert in short sales. I have already referred two friends to you. Great job!!!
— Sandra Schafer
After spending a lot of time and effort with other realtors with no positive feedback, Kenny Smith was a breeze to work with. After only a couple weeks we found the home we wanted to buy and jumped straight into escrow. Kenny Smith bent over backward doing things he didn't have to do to make sure we got the property. I will use Kenny when I buy again and I will also recommend him to anybody I know looking to buy a property.
— Shane and Melissa Cresser

— Jeff Stahl and Debbie Ross
"Dear Battiata Group,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for a great job done. I am very happy that I selected you guys. Buying and selling a house is a very stressful situation. I just wanted to let you know that you were extremely professional, talented and understanding. I now understand why Matt's picture is all over town. Anyone that can handle a person like me through such a stressful time is unique in my opinion. I promise you that I am not usually like this! Special thanks to Matt and Amy for going far and beyond. I hope you have continued success."
— Samer and Maya Kabbani

— Felix Fano
"You Matt, and your staff cannot be ranked against others working in the same field. There is simply no comparison. Your operation is in a league of its own.
We shall continue to expound to potential buyers and sellers alike, the value of listing with the Battiata Real Estate Group."
— Sherwin and Sharon Chickering
