Brokerage
Most brokers know real estate. Very few understand construction. That gap costs buyers and sellers real money, whether it's overpaying for a property with hidden deficiencies, underpricing a home because no one understood the value of what was built, or walking into a renovation-financed purchase without a clear scope of work.
Matthew Haraminac is a licensed employing broker who brings nearly two decades of experience and a construction-first perspective to every transaction. With involvement in more than 180 real estate transactions, ICC-credentialed general contracting experience, and a portfolio of specialty inspection certifications, Matt offers a level of due diligence that traditional brokers simply cannot match.
Buyer Representation
Whether you are purchasing a home your family will grow into or acquiring an investment property, Matt's construction background means potential problems get identified before they become your problems. Every showing is also an informal assessment of the building. That is not a service add-on. It is how Matt works.
When the inspection report comes back, most brokers forward it to you and ask what you want to do. Matt reads it the way a contractor would: identifying what is cosmetic, what is structural, what is routine maintenance, and what is genuinely expensive. That distinction changes negotiations. Instead of vague repair requests that sellers push back on, Matt builds inspection objections around accurate repair costs, proper scoping, and realistic timelines. Sellers and listing agents take those objections seriously because they are grounded in construction knowledge, not guesswork.
Seller Representation
Sellers benefit from working with a broker who can identify and address condition issues before they surface during a buyer's inspection. Matt can help you determine which repairs add value, which are unnecessary, and how to present your property with confidence. His background in appraisal and construction estimation means pricing recommendations are grounded in the physical reality of the home, not just comparable sales.
FHA 203(k) Purchases
For buyers looking to finance both purchase and renovation in a single loan, Matt is FHA 203(k) certified and can guide you through the transaction from offer through closing. For details on construction scope development and project oversight, see Consulting.
Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES)
Matt holds the SRES designation, bringing additional training in the financial and emotional complexities of real estate transactions involving aging homeowners, estates, and trusts. Whether you are downsizing, helping a parent transition, or managing a property as part of an estate, Matt understands the sensitivity these transactions require.
Selective Brokerage
Matt does not operate a high-volume sales practice. He works with a limited number of clients at a time, prioritizing depth of service over transaction count. If your situation calls for a broker who will spend more time understanding your property than marketing himself, reach out.
