Matt Jensen – The Cascade Team Real Estate

— Unprofessional (no timely responses to the offers submitted)
— Tries to fool other buyers (Lies about other offers in line even when there is no offer on plate)
Stay away from any home he has listed on market.

Matt Jensen is the most unprofessional, greedy and slimy person I have come across in the real estate world. He was (and still is) the listing agent for 2510 Larchmount Dr, Issaquah on which we placed an offer on 5÷5÷2015. His greed came across right away when he asked us to escalate the price by few thousand more in spite of the fact that we were the highest bidder. We had pressing circumstances so we agreed to the escalated price after which he was to send over the signed paperwork from his client. However, after this negotiation he started questioning the credibility of my bank loan officer who has over 30 years of experience sanctioning loans. My bank officer put him in place when Matt quipped that they both are in the offer only for the commission. After the conversation, Matt ended up telling my agent that our bank officer is a rockstar.
After all this drama, he started jerking us around demanding early closing and delayed possession for his client and refused to send over the signed paperwork from the seller. We were in limbo for 2 days and then he comes back to say that the seller has decided not to sell the house. As I write this review, I still see the house listed on Redfin. My loan officer started processing the loan based on Matt’s verbal confirmation and then Matt turns around and does this. I call my loan officer and tell him that the deal is off and this is what he said «I am glad your money did not go to that slimy Matt Jensen».
I wish I could give –5 stars on Unilocal but it does not have this feature. However, I have now learnt not to deal with any listing that Matt is dealing with.

Matt was great to work with. He kept us up to date on the homes coming on the market, and helped us find the home that fit our needs.
We have very specific geographic needs, due to school boundaries, and a very tight timeline, and helped up meet all those goals.
Thanks Matt

Matt Jensen is rude, unprofessional and has the worst skill management that I have ever seen in the industry. He uses people to get his way and turns around and becomes loud, pushy and unprofessional. Be aware of him, do not fall for him.
He dose not return calls in a timely manners, unless he wants something. When he dose not get his way, he gets loud and try to push you around and dose not let you talk. He screams at you, tells you what he want and hangs up the phone.
He makes sure he dose not leave any trace of his bad behavior in the e-​mails or text. I encourage you to search for your self first before working with him. I will rate him –10 if there was a category for that number.
I wish I recorded him when he was yelling and screaming on the phone. I had something in my and would of reported him to the state.

He is the worst and cheap real estate agent I have ever seen. Most unprofessional, laid back and prude person I have come across. I am the buyer and placed offers on his listings through my agent. But he never responded to offers through on time, rather misused them. He is super good at story telling and at using buyer’s offers to beef up the price.
His listings have the most issues that are uncovered later and his properties sit much longer on the market due unprofessionalism.

Matt recently sold our home for us in the Issaquah Highlands. We couldn’t be happier with the experience. He got us in to a bidding war and we sold for $ 40k over list. He was very professional and represented us very well when things got heated with other agents. The listing that he created for our home was amazing. I love the pics that were taken. We highly recommend him.

I came to WA as a corporate relocation and had one weekend to find a home. I went EVERYWHERE. As a last ditch effort, I stumbled upon The Cascade Team office and just walked in. Matt and his team were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. In fact they led me to a property that was perfect! They were incredibly supportive during the entire process and I am now happy in a beautiful home. They even gave me tips on the area since I’m new to the state and offered themselves as resources. I feel Matt and his team went above and beyond to support my needs, resulting in a successful transition. I would highly recommend The Cascade Team.

Matt Jensen is a brilliant PR guy flaunting all his real estate accolades, but in reality he is «all hat and no cattle».
He claims to offer simply outrageous service. So if your definition of outrageous service means not showing up to a prearranged appointment for a house showing, not returning calls/​emails than Matt is your guy.
Another example of his «outrageous service» were on display at a open house he and his team were hosting yesterday. Hours of the Open House: 12pm to 3:30pm. My friend and I show up promptly at noon, and the doors are locked. 25 minutes later his assistant finally comes by, doesn’t apologize for being late and welcomes us to the home.
His assistant couldn’t answer any of our questions, it was clear she didn’t do her homework. I feel bad for the clients who hired him to market and try to sell their property.
Stay clear of Matt Jensen if you want a good experience.
