Abode Advocacy
Our Team
Abode Advocacy Group was founded by Matt after he had a moment of clarity where he wanted to create a service that was solely focused on guiding buyers and sellers of property through the often daunting and stressful process of transacting real estate. Put simply, without an advocate on your side during one of the biggest transactions of your life, then you are dealing with real estate agents that often find themselves conflicted by assisting both sides of the transaction.
At Abode Advocacy Group, we are very clear that we are on one side only, “your side.” There are many buyer’s agents available to help you, so why should you choose us and what makes us different from the others? Experience and knowledge – we have a combined nearly four decades of industry experience.
