The Matheson Team led by Don are without a doubt the best real estate team I have ever experienced. Don's knowledge and experience and passion for what he does are second to none. Don is one of the most sincere people I have ever met.
I have recommended Don to several of my friends who were looking for real estate services, and they all have thanked me immensely. One of my friends referred to the Team as "the WOW factor" of real estate!!
There is a reason Don and his Team our consistently ranked in the top echelon of realtors locally and nationwide....nothing but Top Notch.

I have executed three single family home real estate transactions with The Matheson Team over the past few years.

Don and Jenny Matheson, as well as their team, are very professional in everything they do. Their attention to detail is impeccable and they always communicated in a timely and efficient fashion. I was impressed by their innovative approach and the use of technology to enhance their services.

I have been doing private real estate transactions not only in the US but also abroad. What differentiates The Matheson Team's approach most is their outstanding after the sale service. I always felt that they were there for the entire family and make transitioning from one location to another so much easier. Don and Jenny Matheson offer great value from start to finish and beyond. Don even helped improving my golf game in the beautiful Valley of the Sun.

I highly recommend The Matheson Team to anyone looking for the "best in the business" to buy or sell their home. They truly have the customer's best interest at heart from the time you first meet them until the job is completed.

Throughout a 23 year career with GE and 8 years with Intuit, my wife Marsha and I have been through multiple senior level management moves in many parts of the United States. Because of the jobs, we were always referred to “the best” local realtors and over that period we bought and sold over 9 properties prior to meeting Don and Jenny.

Without question, the team of Don and Jenny Matheson is the finest realtor we have ever dealt with in the 10 or so real estate transaction we’ve done with them in the last 10 years.

They have been excellent at all aspects of the real estate transaction… from deeply understanding our needs and budget, to efficiently screening potential properties, to developing a transaction strategy and negotiating, to property inspection, escrow and closing, to post sale service and support, they have been responsive and professional in every step along the way.

In additional to the real estate excellence, they made an extra effort to assimilate us and many of their other clients into the new environment in DC Ranch through events at their home and country club.

In addition to their excellence as realtors, they are great people. They have high integrity, great social skills, and through words and deeds demonstrate that they both care and take an interest in their clients.

I have referred Don several times to prospective clients looking for real estate in the North Scottsdale market and each and every one of them had the same experience that we did.

Any firm that recommended Don and Jenny to their clients would be doing their clients a big favor as they explore a real estate transaction in North Scottsdale.

I have known Don for over 10 years as a consumate real estate professional. He has treated me with true professionalism and elevated his profession well beyond the typical real estate agent. Don is a great example of what a client should hope to get in an agent. Don and his wife, Jenny, have handled every residential real estate transaction for me over the 10 years I have known them. Well Done!

Gordon and Melodie Thomas Client, Seller

Now that Melodie and I have finalized our purchase of a unit at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel Villas Condominiums, I wanted to thank you and your team for the excellent and professional service we have received from you since day one.

I first contacted you in January after I saw your advertisement in one of the golf magazines. During our conversation, I told you of our attraction to the Arizona Biltmore community in Phoenix. In February, I was there and Jen Pedersen of your team showed me some condominiums in the Biltmore neighborhood which were of preliminary interest.

During my next visit in early March, Jen and I saw several units. Things were very tentative until early May when Melodie and I spent a weekend in the villa condominium in which we had a particular interest. An offer followed, and today we are the owners of that unit.

Throughout the process, Jen could not have been more professional and helpful. Over those months, Melodie and I were very uncertain as to what we would do, if anything, regarding purchasing a condominium at the Biltmore. Jen was always proactive and responsive in providing information, getting answers to our many questions, suggesting lenders and insurance agents to contact, continually offering to be of further assistance, and just overall doing a fantastic job. She always went the extra mile with spirit, charm and grace, and we very much appreciate it.

Jen was very ably assisted by Stewart Walowitz during the offer phase. Once the offer was ratified, Jessica Sandler took the lead on making sure all of the many details were pulled together. Jessica handled the process flawlessly.

Don, I have to date purchased four principal residences and sold three. I have also purchased and sold one vacation home. I have worked with many Realtors over the course of all those transactions, and I have never had one to go as smoothly and professionally as this one did.

You have quite a team there and I know you must be proud of them, and justifiably so. In the future, as I hear people mention they are considering purchasing real estate in the Valley, you can bet I will urge them to call Jen.

Thanks again for a job well done!
