Matt has been helping me buy and sell businesses in the Santa Barbara area for close to 10 years now. He has represented me in purchasing 3 businesses and selling 3 businesses. Matt goes above and beyond as a broker. I had trouble with the city regarding one of my businesses and Matt came to my rescue and went to several meetings, speaking on my behalf, and helped me navigate through the bureaucracy. When it came time to sell that business, Matt worked with a buyer to get approved for an SBA loan to get the deal done. I am telling you its way 'above and beyond' the service he offers his clients. Since I have known Matt he has accomplished receiving his law degree at night while running his successful and busy brokerage. We would not want to be represented by anyone other than Matt. It you read this Matt, I truly can not THANK YOU enough.

I have been using Matt with multiple business scenarios of mine for almost a year now. He is a consummate professional and goes above and beyond his fiduciary duties to me as his client. I would highly recommend his brokerage and legal services for any of your business needs whether big or small. He is the broker and lawyer who becomes part of your family to protect and nourish all of your business endeavors.

I have purchased two businesses from Compass First in the last three years and have had a great experience both times. The office is extremely professional and very patient with beginning business owners. Matt helped me immensely with my diligence and loan process. I probably wouldn't have been able to accomplish the purchases without him.

I have worked with Matt for a number of years now and continue to be amazed by his ability to make the most difficult transactions appear easy. He works very well with bankers and the finance teams, but his ability to negotiate with difficult landlords on business transfers makes selecting Matt from a buyer or seller perspective a sound business choice.
