“Matt and Kara Raehn made the incredibly daunting task of selling our first home extremely manageable and less scary. While it was a ton of work, they made sure to hold my hand through it all and taught us how to get our home ready to list and made sure it sold for what we were hoping for. We quite literally could not have done it without them!”
"Matt was tremendous to work with from start to finish in the home buying process. He had great working knowledge and insights into the area, a friendly, professional communication style and took the time to understand what we were looking for and then applied that understanding to the houses he showed us. He expertly negotiated the deal and got the price and terms we wanted in a competitive situation. But what impressed me the most was Matt’s responsiveness - unbelievable throughout the sale process and after. Whether by email, text or phone call, he always quickly got back to us even if it was only to acknowledge the message. So few people do that anymore. We always felt we had a true partner throughout the buying process and we can’t recommend Matt more highly if you need a real estate professional."
"Kara and Matt are FANTASTIC!!! They made the selling and buying process so easy and helped us understand what was happening every step of the way. They go above and beyond to make the process transparent and easy. Their promptness, knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, and kindness made them enjoyable to work with. We highly recommend Team Raehn!"
Matt and Kara are an amazing team. They took care of all the small details through the prospecting stages from dinner recommendations to making sure the homes we saw were the ones that fit our checklist.

"Matt & Kara have given me amazing support as I have gone through the process of searching & purchasing my new home. They have asked great questions to help guide me as I honed in on area & ultimately found my new home, answered all of my questions (even the goofy ones) & have been true partners in the process. I cannot say enough about how diligent, kind, and professional they’ve been throughout this journey. They are a great team and people who I now happily call my friends."
"Matt and Kara have been the absolute best realtors we have ever dealt with. They are a great team and the minute we met them we knew we had chosen the right realtors. They were professional and knowledgeable about the entire process of listing our house, anticipating any concerns before they became issues. They were always one step ahead of the process and the best thing of all is that they are simply wonderful people. My wife and I feel so fortunate that we found them to help us sell our home, which ultimately was both easy and seamless."

"If you are looking for a fantastic realtor then I highly recommend Matt and Kara Raehn! What a team! Both Matt and Kara are reliable, punctual and thorough! They actually listened to our needs and wants. We are from out of state and hoping to find our dream home was like finding a needle in a haystack . The moment we connected on the phone for the first time we felt at ease, and it felt like talking with one of our family members. Last minute we decided to drive 10 hours to meet Matt and Kara to look at a home they found for us. They found it! They found our dream home. Matt met us on a holiday weekend, showed us the house, answered all of our questions and that night we decided we wanted to make an offer but wanted to see it again one more time. Kara met us the very next day to show us the house again and answer more of our questions. We made an offer and it was accepted! Matt and Kara you both helped us in so many ways and we are forever grateful for you both. Thank you for your patience in finding our dream home! We cannot wait to raise our family and make new memories in what now we call our home.”
Matt and Kara were great agents and I never considered anyone else after our first encounter. They knew the area very well and showed us different areas to give us an understanding of each community. They responded to requests and made adjustments to accommodate my schedule. They were quick to get property details and help me understand the complete picture before engaging into negotiations. They are experienced working on relocations and were able to check out properties when I was not in the area. They were easy to work with and good, honest people looking out for my interests.

I’ve know Kara and Matt for many years. As partners in the business, I know my referrals are in great hands. There is something special about agents who have called Bluffton/Hilton Head home for decades. They just understand the area and what is important to buyers and sellers more uniquely than agents who didn’t grow up in the area. And their relationships cannot be underestimated as this is a relationship based town - they have some tremendous connections. If you’re looking for transparent and honest people who make your goals their goals, you’re in good hands with these two.

Their knowledge and communication style made this a seamless experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better team!
