Hi, I’m Matt Dolan, an award-winning REALTOR® who has been securing successful results for my clients across the Lower Mainland for over a decade.
Real estate is second nature to me. I was an electrician for 14 years and worked on numerous large-scale home development construction sites across the Lower Mainland, for top developers such as Onni, Polygon, and Bosa. I received my Journeyman’s Red Seal Electrician ticket in 2007 from BCIT and left to work in Canada’s Mining Industry in 2008.
Upon returning to the Lower Mainland, I bought, renovated and sold homes for a number of years, something that I genuinely enjoyed and gained a wealth of practical wisdom from. The sum total of these experiences inspired me to get my real estate license.
Clients appreciate my fair and honest approach to buying and selling real estate. They also trust that I really know my stuff when it comes to home construction and maintenance. I have a ton of practical knowledge about the industry and an undeniable passion that comes from years of experience.
I care about adding value to your experience, so I work hard for your interests and provide extras that the competition does not, saving you thousands of dollars (when selling your home).
For potential clients, I have one ask: interview me to see if I’d be a good fit for your needs. I’m happy to set up a no-hassle consultation.
AREAS I SERVICE:
Vancouver, Burnaby, Port Moody, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, Surrey, Langley
I was introduced to Matt through my husband Eddie. From the off set he explained the whole process and he was very patient. He made the experience for us stress free. He was able to make it a very quick and easy sale process for us. Looking forward to have him find us our next home. - Jessa Carcha
Reply: Thank you very much Jessa!
I live internationally and Matt was very helpful selling my property. He facilitated numerous open houses developing a relationship with the tenant and making that process much easier. He is knowledgeable about the market and knew how to price my townhouse to get people coming through the door. I would 100% recommend Matt !! He’s reliable, easy to work with and knows what he’s talking about as he has a background in renovating houses as well as the trades. - Sarah Day
Matt was very responsive throughout the selling process, and we would recommend him for your real estate needs. We chose to buy first then sell our house, which can be stressful. As soon as we bought our new house, Matt started on creating the marketing material and our house was on the market in days. Matt is very knowledgeable about the real estate industry and has access to other professionals that you will need to complete your transactions. Although Matt had a number of other listings on the go, we felt that he was 100% in on getting our house sold. - Justin McLaughlin
Reply: Thanks for the kind words. It was a pleasure helping you get your place sold in a timely fashion.
Matt made the process of buying and selling as easy as it could be. He let us take the lead, giving us guidance and advice, and never pushing us on any decision. He was extremely responsive, answering any and all of our questions immediately. Matt made sure we got the home of our dreams, and was able to work some additional benefits into our deal. Thank you Matt!!! - Ashleigh Mclaughlin
Reply: Thank you so much Ashleigh! It was a pleasure helping you and Justin find this incredible home!
I received a flyer in the mail from several agents selling real estate. I contacted 2 of those. Matt Dolan was the first to respond. after initial contact, we worked out a plan to sell my property. after a slow start, and an initial sale, that collapsed, the property was sold at a price to my satisfaction. Thank you, Matt Dolan - Kurt Meier
Reply: Thank you Kurt. It was a pleasure helping you in this sale.
Matt was knowledgeable, patient and available 24/7. Very helpful during my first time selling. Any questions were answered promptly and there was nothing I couldn't ask. Highly recommend - Donovan Dick
Reply: Thank you Dono. It was a pleasure working with you on this. Onto bigger and better things!
Matt was an absolute dream to work aside considering how stressful the process of selling a property can sometimes be. He was so patient and so knowledgeable regarding absolutely everything, he made the process not only manageable but actually quite easy and very relaxed. His communication was beyond perfect, always a text or phone call away and would respond to any question/concern within seconds. We had an offer almost immediately and a successful accepted offer within a month of a better price we had expected to receive on the property. All the paper work was a breeze, he was so organized and quick to get it done with absolutely no hassle what so ever. I'm so thankful we used matt during this huge life event and forever grateful for his beyond spectacular work, and will continue to use his services moving forward, as well as recommended to anyone looking for an amazing realtor! - Wendy dick
Reply: Wow thank you for such a review! Sure made my day. Itnws an absolute pleasure assisting you.
Matt was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and supportive throughout our short home search. We were extremely lucky to find everything we wanted in the first property we looked, and that is attributed to Matt’s dedication and knowledge of the market, as well as getting to know his clients. We were so thrilled to work with him and will ensure we recommend him! - Jackie Bain
Reply: Really appreciate that Jackie! It was fantastic when we sat and you told me what you were looking for that I had JUST the property in mind. Doesn't always happen that quickly!
Matt is very professional. In a fast paced real estate market we had a lot of questions and Matt ensured he was always available to answer with a prompt response. He led strategic, high level multi faced negotiations and traded on concessions securing our first property at our ideal price and conditions. 100% recommend. - Steph and Matt
Reply: That’s a lot for the kind words. It was a pleasure helping you both on this sale
I've bought and sold many houses in the lower mainland, and Matt is by far the best realtor I have ever worked with. I have used his services both for buying and selling homes, and find him to be very honest and reliable. He also listens to you.... he doesnt just go through the paces! He'll guide you with ideas to help sell quickly, and he is also a skilled negotiator, who will get you the best deal out there. I would never use any other realtor, and can highly recommend him because he's the best! - Barbara Faurot
Reply: Love you Aunt Barb, thanks for always supporting my business.
Matt was a pleasure to deal with and delivered on all fronts. He had our property sold within a week (well over asking price) which was a huge plus for us. We originally sat down with Matt a year previously but were not ready to list quite yet, he was very patient with us and and walked us through the process. - Bob Conway
Reply: It was my favourite sale of the year Bob. A absolute pleasure working with you and Omega!
Matt was professional from start to finish. The purchase of my house was easy and smooth. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience buying my first house. Absolutely would recommend Matt as a realtor!!!! - Rebecca
Reply: Thank you so much Rebecca! Just in time for the new little one!
Matt was a pleasure to work with. His “get er’ done” attitude helped us sell our home before the first showing and above asking price, we would highly recommend to anyone and everyone. - Ricky
Reply: Thank you very much for the kind words! We got it done just in time for new baby arrival!
Matt was amazing to work with. His selling strategy resulted in us receiving $100,000 over asking price. When we went to purchase, he was able to get us into the house to view it before anyone else, resulting in us being able to get an accepted offer. - Tara
Reply: Thanks a bunch Tara! It was. A pleasure working with you selling this amazing home!
Matt is both professional and warm at the same time. He listens to your needs and wants, and helps you scope out potential places with a keen and critical eye. He points out flaws as well as opportunities, and generally gives you a feeling of having your back as a buyer. He helped negotiate a fair price and set us up for succes. - Marlies
Reply: Thanks Marlies. It was a pleasure helping you find this beautiful home
Matt is very knowledgeable and had great advice to get us the most money on our sale and save us money on our purchase. I would recommend him to my friend, family and anyone else looking to buy or sell a house. - Ben
Reply: It was awesome working with you buddy. 2 of my favourite clients for sure
Matt was recommended by a close family friend and he was very pleasant to work with. Very professional and always available when needed. It was our first home for many years and had a lot of emotional attachments to the property but Matt was able to guide us through this journey and sold at great price. Highly recommend him! - Jay
Reply: Thanks Jay! It was awesome working with you both
Matt is very knowledgeable and has a strong understanding of the market trend. He often had great suggestions for us in terms of pricing and sales strategy. We were able to sell the unit in just a few weeks even when the market conditions weren't the best. Will highly recommend him to anyone who's looking to purchase or sell - Johnny Lin
Reply: Amazing working with you Johnny. A pleasure
Matt was highly professional during the entire process of buying our home. We were looking in a specific neighborhood for over a year and he provided great advice along the way and helped us secure our place in a competitive market. We would strongly recommend Matt if you're looking for a knowledgeable realtor that will provide a first class experience during your real estate purchase. - Eddie & Lindsay
Reply: Always a pleasure working with you two! Can’t wait to see the renovation!
Matt excels in so many areas. His experience as a red seal electrician and work in construction was invaluable. Matt also has a huge professional network of people (I.e. inspectors, lawyer, cleaners, trades people, etc.) who were able to help along the way making the entire process easy and seamless. As a female co-owner with no experience in realty I appreciate everything Matt taught me and helped me understand on our short journey to selling our home for ASKING PRICE. He never made me feel silly for asking questions and has an empowering way of sharing his knowledge, advice and support. From day one Matt asked, 'How can I help? What can I do to support you?" and he meant that. He is never pushy and the perfect mix of encouraging and patient. Matt also has a wide-reaching web and social media presence-- which is so critically important when listing a home for a successful sale. Finally, while we are aware of how highly-recommended Matt comes and that he has more than one client at a time, not once did we feel anything less than his top priority. He quickly returns all texts, emails and phonecalls so we were never left waiting. We would recommend Matt to even our closest family and friends! - Marissa Stalman
Reply: Such a review! My god! Thank you so much Marissa. It was amazing helping you sell and purchase a new home!!
Matt Dolan is our trusted realtor especially in the tri cities area. He's friendly and knowledgeable. He's also very honest and has our best interest at heart.

Reply: Thanks John! Coming from a mortgage professional like yourself it means a lot. Cheers!

Matt was so professional and very responsive - any call, text or email got an immediate response every step of the way. All of his advice was excellent and anyone recommended (staging company, lawyer) has been of a very high standard. By following his advice, the condo sold faster and at a much higher price than anticipated. He is down to earth, straightforward, and very kind. He made the entire process so easy and even enjoyable! I could not imagine a better real estate agent; I highly recommend him. - Georgina Matthews
Reply: Thanks Georgina! The staging turned out great! Our Open house was a huge success handing out cakes and drinks to potential buyers and walking them through the home, and it was great to have multiple offers come in at the finish line. Cheers and thanks for the kind words!
Wow, just wow. The condo is everything I wanted. Matt was right on top of everything, answered all my questions promptly when I asked.

Don't even hesitate to go with Matt as your realtor. - Janice white
Reply: Thanks Jan!!! I think you have become my best client, constantly returning! Your condo purchase was a great choice and it was fun representing you... again! Cheers
Matt made selling my home a breeze, it was so much easier then I had anticipated. His recommendations for staging helped me so much! he ensured there was a steady flow of potential buyers. With his constant communication and honest opinions I always felt Matt was looking out for my best interests. Even with some low offers Matt never made me feel pressured to accept just so he could close the sale, but got me multipole offers and closed over asking price. Thank You For Making It So Easy To Sell My House!! I highly recommend Matt Dolan! - Betty Funk
Reply: Thank you so much for the kind words Betty!

I loved working with Matt. He answered all my questions and was able to offer lots of advice that helped me get a quick sale. I would highly recommend. - Patricia Stoneking
Reply: This was a great example of how a 'Exclusive' or 'Private Sale' should work. We were able to still market the property and discreetly get it sold off the MLS system.
Such a smooth transaction. I cannot recommend Matt highly enough. He got us well over asking price and within a very, very short period of time as well. We will be also using Matt for our new purchase. Do not hesitate to use Matt as your realtor! You will not be disappointed Wow, is all I can say. Matt got us far over asking price and the whole thing was over within days. Highly, highly recommend. Very smooth transaction. We will be using Matt again now for our new purchase. - Rocky & Janice

Matt was amazing from start to finish. He sold our North Vancouver condo for a whopping $275,000 over asking and then helped us buy this property. He has a trades background, is a seasoned renovator and a visionary when it comes to design and staging. Couldn't have asked for someone better. - Kristen

Matt knew what to do every step of the way and was very patient with me as this was my first real estate transaction on my own after 18 years in the family home. He secured an offer for OVER list. Matt also helped me find my condo which we purchased for well UNDER list. Matt's knowledge of the market, building systems, and his network of trades people is invaluable. He is the only agent I will deal with in the future and whom I will recommend to friends and colleagues. - Karen Clark

Matt was very knowledgeable about everything real estate. He made this process very easy and stress-free (when it could very well go the other way). I certainly would recommend Matt to family and friends looking to buy or sell. Thanks Matt - can't wait to work with you again in the future! - Summer
Reply: Thanks, summer! This sale seems like yesterday! Was a pleasure helping such good friends find a great investment property.
I knew next to nothing about purchasing a home before I started working with Matt who came highly recommended from my mother and sister. I was anxious about making such an important decision but I learned so much about what to look for that I was so confident making my purchase. I sent Matt a map with my top three areas circled and in just over two weeks I had an accepted offer on a condo in my #1 neighbourhood with enough money left over to do renovations and make it completely my own. Matt has put me in contact with great lawyers, contractors, and more. I'm so grateful to have been able to work with Matt for the purchase of my first home, my family won't work with anyone else! - Lindsay
Reply: Thanks Lindsay! It was fun finding you your first place!
Matt is extremely personable and wildly knowledgable about the industry and renovations/construction/contracting. I've worked with multiple realtors before and he knocks it out of the park and is an easy favorite. He is fair with his fee structure and brings huge value to the table as a team with his wife Maryam. I would recommend him in a heartbeat as I know he would give 110% on every client that gets the opportunity to work with him. - spencer
Reply: Thank you Spencer!
Fabulous realtor! Selling and buying is quite stressful, but Matt removes all that stress during my buying/selling process. He is extremely hardworking and really goes to bat on your behalf to get the best deal. He's definitely a expert in his field and I wouldn't use anyone else. Highly recommended! - Barb
Reply: Thanks Barb!!!
The work that Matt Dolan did to get our place sold was nothing short of PHENOMENAL. He was thoroughly professional throughout and made the whole experience a positive one. He offered us lots of extras, which I know is usual practice for him. He was available anytime day or night. We felt our affairs were completely in safe and trusted hands. I would not hesitate to recommend him for ALL Realtor needs. A HUGE thank you to you Matt, and to your lovely wife, we will be forever grateful! - Rachel Fox
Reply: It was a sale for the books! 42 offers and a complex shattering price!

He brings a wealth of experience from both buying and selling as well as his vast experience in construction and electrical. One of the things that impresses me the most is his ability to listen to his clients and deliver on their needs because buying and selling a home is an emotional endeavour. Matt is strategic, focused and his communication is top notch. I wholeheartedly endorse Matt for all your real estate needs. - Sarah D'Arcey

Exceptional service from start to finish. Very knowledgeable of market.

I would have no issue recommending Matt. He and his wife are an effective team. - Drew Shearman
Reply: Thanks Drew! It was a pleasure showcasing your home.
I live in the UK and I was apprehensive about selling my property in Vancouver long distance. Finding Matt was a god send as he made the process seamless. Pricing in the current market was clearly explained and I was guided (I needed it as I am so far away) and kept up to date from beginning to end. I always expect great service, and Matt came in at a solid 10. - Val Sutton
Reply: Thank you very much for the kind words Val!
