After living most of my life in NC, I can't imagine living anywhere else! I have lived in Raleigh, Greensboro, and now Cary, where I have lived with my wife since 2008. Working for both buyers and sellers, I look forward every day to helping people find the perfect property that fits their specific needs. Our market is constantly changing, and I am happy to guide you as we navigate the Triangle's unique market.
Before I got into real estate, I spent 20 years working in the crazy world of food, 8 of which I owned and operated a food truck and catering company out of Durham. That was quite an adventure! Starting out as just a two-person operation, it took us all over the state (and even some quick trips into Virginia), doing everything from weddings to serving backstage for Bon Jovi, and catering for all types of corporate events. While I love cooking (and food in general!), the more rewarding and meaningful part of the industry was found in the relationships I was able to build. In my experience running my own business, I know how important those relationships are, especially when you are making one of the most important financial decisions of your life. The success of that relationship lies in trust and an attention to detail. I look forward to working with you to guide you through one of the most exciting moments of your life - buying and selling your home!
What made you interested in Real Estate? Helping people through the important moments of life has always been a passion of mine - be it a wedding or buying/selling home, I love making those big moments easier on others.
Why did you choose HPW? In order to become the largest and best in any field, a company needs GREAT people. HPW absolutely delivers on that count.
What is your favorite area restaurant? There are just too many to name one! We are certainly blessed to have such a great variety of top-notch restaurants in the Triangle.
What is your favorite vacation spot? My wife, son, and I absolutely love Disney!
Are you a dog- or a cat-person? Both! We have a wonderful rescue pup (we think he's a Catahoula) named Rizzo.
Why do you love living here? The Triangle has it all! We have a diverse business scene, great schools and universities, wonderful parks, and a vibrant restaurant and brewery scene.
Do you eat Eastern- or Western-style barbecue? Eastern!
Matthew Hayden is a wonderful realtor and I highly recommend him. He went over and above the call of duty to assist us in selling our home. He walked us through every step, offering advice where needed. Matthew has a cheerful demeanor and helpful spirit. Our house sold within 3 days of being placed on the market. Thanks, Matthew! We couldn't have done it without you!
