Matt and Shalin Caren got the job done!!! They were professional yet personal, and were available to me anytime I had a question/comment/etc. Their negotiation skills with the other agent/buyer were exactly what I needed (so I got the most out of my sale))! They were easy to work with and really listened to "my needs"! Thanks! I'll def use them again for any future sales or purchases

My wife and I have had several experiences working with real estate agents in the past - buying and selling but we've never had such an ultimate experience purchasing our first home here in Phoenix Arizona since moving from Washington state a few months ago. Matt and Shalin Caren made it not only very easy for us but above all, has taken all the time, effort and care with us finding o...

Matt & Shalin are an awesome team to work with!! They are knowledgeable about the buying/selling process and really understand the market conditions and timing. I appreciate how good their communication is and how responsive they are when I contact them. I also love that they are so down to earth and easy to talk to. They make you feel as if you've known them for years.

Becky Erickson

We first met Matt by chance while looking at a property we saw on Zillow. Being new to the home buying process, he gave us somr excellent guidance. When our plans changed, requiring us to relocate to another city 60 miles away, Matt went out of his way to accommodate. When we had questions about a property that we really liked, but had a questionable history, he didn't try to get a fa...

Ryan Brewton

On a scale of 1-10, we would give Matt and Shalin a 10+. Over the years we have had six transactions, both buying and selling with them as a team, they are both professional and personable. They never leave you hanging for answers, when you have questions they are there immediately to help you. Matt and Shalin are a family with a beautiful little girl of their own, they understand the...

I have moved around at least 12 times throughout my career. I've had some good experiences but mostely bad when it comes to realtors. I have to say, this time wit Matt Caren was one of the good ones. Matt was always fast to respond to my emails and if he wasn't sure of a question I had, Matt dug in deep and found out what I needed to know. I have all good things to say about my experi...

Mike Hildebrand

We had gone to an Open House and met Matt Caren. We had used another realtor for 2 previous home transactions and had planned on using them again for our new home search. After meeting Matt, we decided to go with him. He had 4 appointments set up for us the next weekend to look at homes. While out we found another listing, he took us to it and that was the house we now happily own. Hi...

Kristi Mooney

Matt and Shalin are a dynamic duo! They definitely understood what we were looking for in a home for our family and they delivered. They went above and beyond to find us the right home. They were always there when we needed them, to view home, chat about concerns and to keep us on track with our search. I am thankful they were referred to us from friends who recently used their servic...

Matt and Shalin were awesome. Very personal and professional. They took the time to make sure we found the perfect house while not wasting any time.

Samuel Cox

My husband and I moved to Arizona from Chicago. We had no idea of the neighborhoods or surrounding areas. They did a FATASTIC job of knowing what to ask us what our most important criteria is in a home. We found what the inspector called "A Dimond in the Dessert." We are thrilled with the home and more importantly with the constant attention Matt and Shalin provided us. I would recomm...

Donna Wadzita

Being new to Surprise AZ, Matt Caren was recommended to us as a realtor that would find the house you were looking for. Being out of state Matt opened a portal for just us with the criteria that we presented to him. We spent hours looking at the homes that he put on the web site and continued to add. We selected 10 which Matt made appointments for us to see as well as some we could ju...

Mark Dailey

We have used Matt and Shalin to buy 2 homes in Phoenix. They are AWESOME! They’re extremely professional and their expertise is beyond compare. We had some pretty difficult negotiations and they were on top of it. They are level-headed, fair, and honest. I recommend using them to buy AND sell!! We will definitely be using them in the future!

Ann Marie Foley

I am so happy Matt and Shalin were a part of my family’s first home buying experience. They made the whole process so easy and stress free. They truly cared about us having the best possible experience throughout the whole process. I will absolutely recommend them to anyone and of course use them in the future . I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us.

Alexis Rico

Matt Caren was excellent from start to finish. He helped find a lender that would work with us. He answered any and all questions we had along the way. He was there to help keep us in touch with the lender if we couldn't get a hold of them...its like he had a magic number directly to them. If you are selling or especially buying a new home I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MATT & SHALIN CAREN. Some ...

Shalin and Matt were absolutely wonderful to work with. No matter the day or time they were always available to answer our questions. Thank you for everything and we will forever be thankful for all the work you put into helping us find our forever home. -The Johnson’s

Priscilla Johnson

I think we put Matt through realtor hell. We put offers on two homes and backed out of both before finding the perfect home. Matt was patient with our indecisiveness and just kept showing us homes. Excellent realtor!

Gail Davidsmeyer

Matt helped our family purchase a home in 2013. I highly recommend this team for your home buying needs. Matt was helpful, accommodating, and patient as we hunted through the heat of summer. It was sooo much better than our previous home buying experiences with no pressure to settle for less than we wanted.

Izzie Fa'asamala

We are new to the area and found The Caren Team online. We are so glad we did! Matt is a five star realtor. He is professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He kept us informed and always responded quickly. He is very competent and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend The Caren Team!

Irma Slingerland

Matt and Shalin made what could be a stressful process a breeze. They did everything that we could have expected and more to ensure any hiccups were easily dealt with. Together with their knowledge and expertise we were able to confidently and easily sell our home. Thank you Matt and Shalin for treating us so kindly and keeping the process so simple.

Paul Bello

Matt was always available to help us all the way through to the end. He answered all our questions and gave us recommendations to all the services we needed from home insurance all the way down to the pool cleaner. We had a great experience working with him. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor.

These agents are very talented and caring, and very experienced,we moved from Missouri to Arizona, we told them what we were looking for and even though we could not be in Arizona to search for houses they went the extra mile to find us what we wanted and we are very pleased and happy with the home .We will refer everybody we know looking for a house to them.

Rhonda Scales

My Husband and I recently purchased a home in Goodyear, AZ. We could not have made a better decision than working with Matt and Shalin Caren to assist us in purchasing our new home. The Caren team spent countless hours searching and showing us lots of homes until we found the perfect one. The Caren team was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the best neighborhoods to purchase ...

I can't say enough good things about the Caren Team! Matt has sold three homes for me and my family and helped navigate the purchase of two other homes. I couldn't imagine using any other team.

Paige Abner

The Caren Team marketed our home beyond our expectations and had multiple buyers making offers just days after listing. Ours was a complicated and difficult closing. The Carens were always available and helpful every step of the way. When we gave up hope Matt came through and closed the deal in record time. Now our place is sold, we're elated, and our buyers are happy in their new hom...

Richard Teff

Matt is such a nice person and easy to talk too. Every time my husband and i had a question he always picked up and would always answer what ever question we had. He is very good at communicating with you. And even after we moved in to our home he either text or call to see how everything is going. We are so grateful and blessed because Matt was able to help us find our dream home. Th...
