I found Matt by chance. He went above and beyond to help us find the right home. We were moving from out of state and he took the time to do detailed FaceTime showings. Several were over two hours. Matt and his wife were both great to deal with. They are a first class team!
My fiance and I just bought our first home together. Matt was actually our sellers' realtor (we didn't have one), but he was such a help to us, too! Answered all of our questions, gave great resources, flexible with our work schedules. Would use Matt in the future!
I have sold several homes and this sale was the best experience in regard to my agent. Matt's market knowledge and professionalism impressed me. He was thorough in explaining his marketing strategy and maintained constant communication throughout the process. His knowledge of building construction was beneficial in both marketing focal points and inspection reviews. Document processing was efficient and convenient. I would recommend Matt to family members, and I have recommended him to several friends and collegues.
The is the second time Ive used Matts services. The first to buy my home, and the second to sell it. Matt was great to work with both times. He marketed my house well and got it sold over asking, in one day. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thanks Matt!
Michelle & Jon Martin, a seller from Harrodsburg, KY
Matt exceeded our expectations from marketing our home, the staging process, communication, answering our many questions, open houses and guiding us through packing and moving preparations. I am grateful for his expertise and patience as we navigated selling our home. We have also listed separate land with him and I expect it will sell fast as well. I would absolutely recommend Matt to anyone preparing to sell their home or property.

OUT OF STATE BUYERS USE THIS AGENT!
We couldnt have asked for a better agent! I told Matt we were ready to buy a house! We needed the proper space, our timeline was short to move quickly, and we were coming from Colorado!
Matt worked overtime to fit us in his already booked schedule. We are more than pleased with his service! This agent is diligent, and family oriented. Matt genuinely cares, accommodates his schedule, and will locate your perfect home!
We have hired Matt and Steph for many real estate transactions . They have done a fantastic job for us . Excellent communication and follow through . Above and beyond .
I recently sold my home and learned from previous experience that Matt was my only choice. He is dedicated, experienced and I trusted him completely. I was able To sell my house quickly and the process was trouble free with his guidance. He was knowledgeable and did his due diligence in finding market value based on data and market trends. I will recommend him to anyone selling or buying.
Matt Grimes is personable and knows the housing market. He brings a level of experience that that not only prepares you as a seller but gives good sound advice and confidence placing your home on the market.

Matt Grimes goes above and beyond and has made not only buying our home, but also selling it, a great experience. He is knowledgeable of the real estate market and leads you in the right direction! He was recommended to us and we now recommend him to everyone, he does not disappoint!
Matt was awesome. He knows how to determine repair costs and to negotiate well. That saved me a lot of money and I ended up getting more than I expected to get. 2021
Where to start when talking about Matt Grimes? Fantastic professional. Matt listened to us and gave us all the local information and data to help us make a great decision. Matt was relentless in finding us the perfect home, even at a time when inventory was at an all-time low. His follow-up with us was flawless and frankly we always felt like we were Matt's only client. You can't train qualities like this - they have to be wired-into a person and that's Matt Grimes. If we have to buy or sell in the future, Matt Grimes will be our first and only phone call! Thanks Matt! 2020
Matt was a great agent to work with; he's quick in both arranging for us to see a house, and once finding the house he drafted all the necessary paperwork that day. He's knowledgeable, and is a good negotiator, working with the seller's realtors for us to find a deal we were happy with. He's also open about his opinion on a house; if he sees something he doesn't like he will point it out; and share his opinions pretty openly. We looked at houses where he was like "let's not. It's not a good match for your family." Matt is also a great person to talk to, and I have learned a lot during the process of finding a home. We now have a house we are happy about, and we're thankful we met Matt to guide us through the market and the whole process. 2020
Matt was a tremendous help for my entire family and I with our relocation to the Danville, Kentucky are from out of state. It was a pleasure to have worked with Matt through the house buying process, from the start to the closing. Matt was professional, quick to respond, and considerate of our needs. I would highly recommend Matt to any friends or family! Thank you, Matt - for everything!
Matt was really great to work with, he seemed confident but not pushy. Very knowledgeable at assisting us in our first home buying journey
Kathleen Beckwith, Lancaster , a buyer from Lancaster, KY
We absolutely could not have purchased our house without the help of Matt Grimes. We were from out of state, and he was constantly updating us about house options, and once we selected a house, he was on top of it making sure everything went smooth. We are so grateful to him for making this experience so knowledgeable and wonderful. Matt wasn't allowed at the closing because of COVID-19, but he still drove up and sat in the parking lot just in case if there were any questions. No doubt, Matt goes above and beyond. We would work with him again in a heartbeat (but I hope we don't have to too soon because we really love our house!!!)
Jordan Blair Harrodsburg,KY, a buyer from Harrodsburg, KY
Matt and his wife Stephanie were excellent. They helped me in my first home purchase and did everything outstanding. I had worked with other agencies in the past and they dont come close to these people. Any question I had at anytime were answered and I have no complaints. They arent pushy and will tell you the pros cons to each home you look at.
Matt became my eyes and ears because of my location. He helped me find professionals to look at the houses so that we didn't have to fly back and forth.
We are really excited about the wonderful home we purchased. Thank You! Matt!
We couldn't have done this without You Matt!

Esther Rugerio, Danville , a buyer from Danville, KY
Buying a home can be stressful, but Matthew Grimes always answered my questions quickly and thoroughly.
During my buying process, he went above and beyond to make sure my experience was great and easy. While trying to find a home, he used his expertise to point out things an average home buyer would not notice. He made communicating with everyone a breeze. He is knowledgeable and friendly. I will be recommending him to all my friends.
Matthew Grimes was the realtor we used when we first bought the home. He was memorable then and immediately came to our minds when we wanted to sell the house. Matt immediately set up a walkthrough appointment, was upfront and honest about any and all possible costs, immediately began promoting the house, and so much more. Matt is an excellent agent and person. He cared about getting us exactly what we needed to make our move out of state. I would recommend Matt to all of my friends wanting to buy or sell a house.
Lyndsie Drury, Lancaster, a seller from Lancaster, KY
We had a wonderful experience using Matthew Grimes as our real estate agent! Professional, yet personal... he was always extremely knowledgeable, confident and honest. From nice, wooden For Sale signs; to professional home photos; to helping us go under contract, while at the beach; Matt and The Southern Living Group at Keller Williams Bluegrass always go above and beyond. We will definitely recommend him to our friends and family who are looking to buy/sell in the area.
Paxon Whittaker Danville, Kentucky, a buyer from Danville, KY
Matt went out of his way repeatedly to provide the best service. He was knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. As a first time home buyer, it meant a lot to me that he walked me through every step. Matt also came up with multiple outside of the box solutions to various barriers I had in the home buying process. I couldn't recommend Matt more. Matt wasn't just my realtor. He was like family.
My Husband and I have recently moved from California to Kentucky and
Matthew Grimes made the transition so smooth and easy. He took care of all the issues and situations we had that arose with our new home here in Kentucky. We were confident that he could and would take care of all our questions and needs. Thank you Matt for being such a great help.
Alicia Whitaker, Lexington, KY, a buyer from Richmond, KY
I inquired about a home that Matt was selling in a different area and he reached out to me almost immediately. He was a realtor to keep, and I recognized that immediately. Even when my search for a house shifted to another county, I took Matt with me even without a contract to do so.
Matthew Grimes is knowledgeable, dependable and extremely professional. He helped navigate through some additional challenges selling this property. I live in another state than where the property was sold. His communication was timely, responsive and informative. I wholeheartedly recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy or sell their house !
Matt Grimes is awesome. He went above and beyond for us. He had his work cut out for him as we were buying and selling at the same time. Matt sold our house in less than 24 hours for more than we were asking. His knowledge of real estate is second to none, and we will definitely reccomend him to anyone we know.
Laura Sullivan mercer County, a seller from Lancaster, KY
Matt Grimes and his team are A+! His team went above and beyond in advertising and exposure. Matt was there for every small detail making for a seemless closing. There is no way we could have sold without Matt and his fabulous support team.
By far the Best we have ever worked with!!!!!!
Matt went up and beyond to sell our property.He stuck with us through the long winters and never wavered for us. He was amazing and will be our broker for life. Our family as well!
Matt was great to work with. He was confident that our house would sell quickly and did it ever. We had it under contract within 28 hours of listing. We tell everyone about our amazing experience and will definitely use The Southern Living Group again in the future.
I know Matt and Stef from the community. I had heard great things about them and didnt even consider going with anyone else.
Matt was helpful and thorough in the entire process. Very knowledgeable about what we wanted and made the process smooth and stress free.
Couldnt have asked for a more professional realtor. Communicated with us in timely manner, respectful and knowledgeable.
Stef Grimes is also great. Very helpful and easy to work with.
If we find ourselves selling or buying another property in the future, we will definitely go with Matt and Stef Grimes! They are the best!
Melanie Yankey, Salvisa, a seller from Salvisa, KY
What really drew me to the Southern Living Group was the professional quality of their promotional materials. The videos and photos of other listings were appealing and they were from folks I actually knew.
Matt exceeded my expectations of and past experience with realtors. Our home was under contract after a few days on the market which is more than I could ask for given the location way out in the "boonies". I attribute that to Matt's marketing knowledge and experience with real estate in our area. When looking for a property to buy, my husband and I were pretty hard to live with. We couldn't agree, got cold feet, homesick, and were generally indecisive. Matt hung in there with us, patiently guiding us until we found a place that was just right. I can't recommend him enough!
It was a pleasure to work with the Southern Living Group.
The sale of our property was faster than we expected by a lot and we got more than we anticipated. Can't ask for more than that. 2018
As a single mom and home owner, I needed reassurance when I wasn't sure how to tackle the sale of a home. It seemed insurmountable at times, even. Matt keep communication lines open always, and helped me understand the process. He kept me informed of every step along the way. I can not say enough for how approachable, patient, and understanding he was to me as I faced this huge endeavor on my own. 2018
Andria Mattingly, Stanford, KY , a buyer from Stanford, KY

Roy Nave, Lancaster, KY, a seller from Lexington, KY
Matthew Grimes had the knowledge of the area and potential clients needs, expertise, and backup system in place to handle the sale of our small horse farm property. We would use him and his team again in a heartbeat. He used an aerial photographer to video the property and place it online, which was a big plus, and it was all professionally done. We never had any surprises, which gave us tremendous trust in his services. 2016
