“We recently purchased our home with GHAH team, and they exceeded our expectations. Their patience in answering every single question we had—no matter how small—made what could have been a stressful process feel manageable and even enjoyable. Matt and Ryan expertly guided us through each step, ensuring we understood everything along the way and felt confident in our decisions. Marta ensured a smooth buying experience staying on top of every detail through the closing process. Their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care for their clients truly set them apart. We will absolutely continue working with them for any future real estate needs, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy realtor. If you want someone who will be in your corner from start to finish, look no further!”
“Having bought and sold several homes, I can honestly say Matt and his team are the best in the business! Matt is knowledgeable, personable, and incredibly organized. After we moved out of state, he handled everything — from new carpets and painting to cleaning and staging. The whole process was seamless, and working with Matt and his team remotely was completely stress-free. Thank you so much for making it so easy!”
“We've worked with Matt twice now (both times very successfully) and honestly wouldn't go to anyone else. This time around we got to work with the whole team - everyone is so great and they all go above and beyond. GHAH just makes the whole thing so much easier and Matt keeps it so real. From day one they actually listened to what we wanted and what our budget was, but kept our expectations inline with what was realistic. It feels like working with someone who is genuinely on our side. They're incredibly organized and communicative too. Appointments were always smooth, they do all the scheduling with other companies as needed, we always knew what was happening next, and we never had to wonder where things stood. That kind of hand-holding (in the best way) makes a huge difference when the process can feel so overwhelming. We're also using Happy at Home Contracting - equally amazing! Medardo and team are top tier. Truly cannot say enough good things about Matt and the GHAH team!”
“Ryan Palardy and the Get Happy at Home Team are the best real estate agents in Seattle. TL;DR: As my buyer’s agent, Ryan helped me buy my first Seattle home in 2025 for $50,000 under list price on offer review day—and guided me through inspections, negotiation, and post-closing projects with total confidence. Ryan & team helped me purchase my first ever home in 2025 for $50,000 under list price on offer review day. After searching all over Seattle—from West Seattle, to Queen Anne, to Ballard—I fell in love with a beautiful water view home in North Beach (Olympic Manor), north of Ballard. I couldn't be happier with my 1950's mid-century rambler. Ryan guided me carefully throughout the process. He helped me understand the pros and cons of different Seattle neighborhoods and home types. When touring, he was quick to point out potential challenges with each home, including structural and maintenance concerns that I never would have noticed on my own. His knowledge of the Seattle real estate market is unmatched—for every house, he was able to accurately predict the level of buyer interest it would have and the price it would sell for. It was uncanny! He steered me away from many homes that looked beautiful but, in truth, wouldn't have fit my needs in the long run. When I did settle on a home, he was sure to get an expert home inspection right away, before I wrote my offer. Because of this, I was able to go into the offer process eyes wide open and waive my inspection contingency. Ryan deftly read the situation on offer review day. After surmising that the home may have been priced too aggressively to receive multiple offers, Ryan convinced me to take a chance and write an offer below list price. He somehow intuited that the sellers would be willing to negotiate due to their specific circumstances and why they were selling. Well, it worked! I got my home for $50,000 under list price even though it had been on the market only 5 days. Quick notes: Ryan was also able to put me in touch with a fabulous local lender who handled some financing complications with ease and grace. We ended up with a great interest rate and felt truly taken care of throughout the process. Ryan's knowledge of construction matters and access to the Get Happy at Home Contracting team allowed me to make smart decisions about home fixes and updates after closing. I honestly couldn't be more thrilled. My experience with the Get Happy at Home Team is that they are honest, skilled, and just genuinely fun to be around. I wouldn't suggest anyone else to work with as a home buyer in the Seattle area!”
“Ryan and his team were absolutely incredible to work with. The entire experience was low pressure from start to finish. If we walked into something with major issues, Ryan would literally say, “please don’t buy this home,” which tells you everything you need to know about his integrity. I never once felt pushed into a decision. We saw a lot of properties, and every showing felt like a mini inspection. Ryan is extremely knowledgeable about homes and could spot potential problems immediately. He also knows the local market inside and out, which made a huge difference when it came to evaluating properties and making competitive offers. He was always quick to answer my questions, even about listings we didn’t tour. I was outbid on a few homes, but he stayed patient and helped me stay competitive without ever pressuring me to go beyond my budget. The rest of the team was fantastic as well - responsive, organized, and supportive throughout the entire process. I really felt like I had a group of people looking out for me. If you want a realtor who’s honest, knowledgeable, and backed by an amazing team, I can’t recommend Get Happy at Home enough.”
“We are completely happy with our experience with Ryan as well as the Get Happy at Home team. Ryan is both detail-oriented and able to communicate complex topics in ways that enabled us to make a better purchasing decision. I would highly recommend working with Ryan if you are interested in purchasing a home in the Seattle area.”
“Simply put, we wouldn’t have our new home without the expertise of Matt and the Get Happy at Home team. Their experience and extensive knowledge of the industry is incomparable. They take what could be a tense experience and add joy and levity to the home buying process. We had been looking at houses for a couple of months without success when an acquaintance referred us to Matt. We never had a real estate agent take the time to get to know us and our preferences the way he did. Matt encouraged us to think creatively, but pragmatically, and addressed all our questions and concerns honestly and with compassion and humor. Matt's team were regularly available to show us properties and point out potential in situations where we were uncertain, all the while remaining calm and encouraging. The whole team was always responsive to our questions via email or text. When we found a home that we felt was perfect for us, Matt crafted an offer that helped us stand out from the others. In a time where housing inventory was low and multiple offers were the norm, our offer was chosen though it wasn’t the highest. You can imagine how much we’ve referred others to Matt and his team based on our experience! We are so grateful for the Get Happy at Home team – because of them, we are truly very happy in our new home.”
“We recently worked with the Get Happy At Home Team to purchase our first home in Phinney Ridge. Matt helped guide us through the full process and made the process of purchasing our house fun. The whole team was extremely responsive to our (extensive) list of questions and even provided weekly updates between offer acceptance and closing. We could not be happier with the experience that we had and would recommend them to new folks searching for a home in the Seattle area!”
“We worked with Matt & his team from Get Happy at Home to purchase our new home in the Greater seattle area. The housing market is an aggressive one to navigate & both Matt & his team are the right people to help you - they go over & above to make sure you have an edge while submitting an offer, and truly help swing things in your favor. Both Matt & his team are super friendly, extremely knowledgeable, organized & responsive. We bought the first house we saw & loved but did tour a few houses with Matt over a weekend. His honest opinion during house tours was really appreciated & helped us gauge things from a different perspective. They also own a construction company, so it was extremely helpful to have their perspective on how much it would cost to remodel stuff while touring houses. Matt was also super helpful in getting us in touch with multiple local lenders for quick pre approvals. Everything right from house tours, to putting an offer to closing was a seamless process for us! Having worked with other realtors in past transactions, we could tell the stark difference in knowledge & professionalism while working with Matt. It's no wonder they are so popular & came highly recommended by most of our friends. Overall a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking to buy a house in Seattle & surrounding areas!”
“Matt is a dream team to work with, with tons of experience, knowledge and skills to get you your dream home, even in this crazy market. This was our second home and we wanted this to be our dream home. Little did we know that the market was heavily biased towards sellers and it was tough to win bidding wars. We tried few different realtors, but were super unhappy with their lack of responsiveness, interest and attitude (trust us, in this market it is tough to find realtors who will understand you and help you throughout the process). We almost gave up our search but then we got introduced to Matt and & his team. It wouldn’t have been possible without these guys to find our new home. They would sit down with us, prepare shortlists, find time to see houses the same day and even guide us on pros and cons of each house. They are detail oriented and are skilled negotiators. We had tons of questions about the market and these guys were always patient, very responsive and always ready with their research and numbers. They helped us make an informed decision with data and current/future market conditions. Thank you Matt for all your guidance and support. We would definitely recommend them to anyone considering buying their new home.”
“Ryan was simply the best realtor we could ask for. He was patient, attentive to what we were looking for and really going out of his way to help us find just the right place. and we did. We are so grateful for his expertise and continued support, even after we finalized our purchase. We had complete trust in him.”
“The team at Get Happy at Home was an absolute dream to work with. I used the team to purchase my new home and sell my old property and on both sides they were fantastic. When purchasing, Matt and his team met with me and my husband to outline exactly what it was that we were looking for and the motivation behind the search. They provided a ton of support with the offer process on what was reasonable to offer. During closing, their team was a well oiled machine with setting clear timelines and pressing us when they needed to get specific documents and signatures done. During the sale process, they provided a set of recommendations to get the best sale price possible. Our property sold for above our initial expectation and they hit the target they set for us. I would highly recommend to anyone wishing to purchase or sell their property, first time or seasoned. I will be using them for any future real estate needs I have.”
“Ryan helped us lock in our dream house on our first offer during one of the craziest times in the Seattle market. He was not only helpful with all of our inquiries and questions about the home buying process, but also extremely responsive and attentive to our messages. Good communication goes a long way! He made sure to have a solid understanding of our needs and desires in a property, and made sure to give us reality checks when they were needed. Would highly recommend him, especially for first time purchasers.”
