I worked with the Matheson team during my relocation to Arizona. They were extremely well-prepared, organized, patient and professional. The customer service, talent and assistance they provided were exceptional. They took the time to speak with me at length before I even made my first trip to Arizona, paying special attention to my requirements. They previewed everything before we arrived and weeded out anything undesirable, thus making our "house-hunting" trips very productive. It was wonderful being in the hands of such experts! I gladly recommend the Matheson Team to anyone looking for top-notch real estate professionals! November 18, 2008

Don and his team are simply the best real estate professionals we have ever dealt with in a lifetime of corporate re-locations with more than 10 different transactions. He is easy to deal with and has great market knowledge as well as strong relationships with all key elements of the transaction... builders, escrow agents, financial companies, other agents, etc. He knows how to negotiate the right price and to walk away if the seller is not reasonable. You won't go wrong if you choose Don and his team. June 2, 2011

Don and his entire team have a natural bias toward understanding their customers' needs and delivering great results. I have referred people relocating to the area to Don's company and the services have been tailored to the needs of individuals and their families. On a personal level, Don's and his team moved more quickly, thoroughly and reliably than any other realtor we've ever worked with to transition our property - as we left the area, while we were gone and in our transition back. Thank you, Don! June 3, 2011

I have had the privilege of knowing Don Matheson for a while now, as our relationship initially began in Calgary Alberta as kids. That relationship has continued for years, as don created an incredibly exciting life and career in Scottsdale Arizona. Don is a gentleman and absolute professional, reaching the pinnacle of his professional career, receiving well deserved accolades for his fine work in the Real Estate profession. His business knowledge, acumen, and ethic are rivaled by few, and I am proud to call him my friend and colleague. June 4, 2011

In the 8 years that I have known Don, he has demonstrated the highest level of performance, character and humility. He is always looking for new ways to better serve his clients despite the fact that he is a top producer year after year. His innovative nature is not limited to just Don's business. As a husband, a friend, and leader in the community he continually surprises others with his thoughtful, caring attitude. Don has a unique spirit that is the cornerstone of his superior leadership. He is truly a great motivator which ultimately makes the people around him better. When you are a client of Don's you become a friend and when you are a friend of Don's it feels like family. Put simply, Don is tops in all categories. June 5, 2011

Don has great knowledge of the residential real estate market in Scottsdale and outlining areas. He helped my parents to finally sell their home in an extremely difficult market. I might add he handled my aging parents with great care even though they were very trying at times. I would recommend Don to anyone anytime. June 8, 2011

While living in Arizona, Don assisted my family with selling two homes and purchasing a new home. We found Don to be extremely reliable and dedicated to his work. On two occasions, we had problems with a water leak while we were on vacation and Don took care of the problems thus allowing us to stay focused on our vacation. I would highly recommend Don.

Don, Stewart, Tracy-
It is with great pleasure to realize that the day I called up Don to discuss our wish to sell our residence, it would be one of the smartest things I ever did...it cannot be said via this message how wonderful Nancy and I think all of the team from RE/MAX Fine Properties are but let this be a small attempt at such...
From the day we met, any of you were filled with hope for a hopeless situation, comforted by the confidence you all had in success that could be realized, always felt that we and our problems were important to any and all of you whenever we called, left a message or an email...
You hooked us up with your professional legal counterparts and again how fortuitous could that have been for us? Very!
The bottom line is the RESULT! We are out from under the water and feel good in our new rental also found by The Matheson Team.
Many thanks to you all! And we want you to know..."we will never be too busy to give you our referrals"
Paul and Nancy DC Ranch
Throughout a 23 year career with GE and 8 years with Intuit, my wife Marsha and I have been through multiple senior level management moves in many parts of the United States. Because of the jobs, we were always referred to the best local realtors and over that period we bought and sold over 9 properties prior to meeting Don and Jenny.
Without question, the team of Don and Jenny Matheson is the finest realtor we have ever dealt with in the 10 or so real estate transaction weve done with them is the last 10 years.
They have been excellent at all aspects of the real estate transaction from deeply understanding our needs and budget, to efficiently screening potential properties, to developing a transaction strategy and negotiating, to property inspection, escrow and closing, to post sale service and support, they have been responsive and professional in every step along the way.
In additional to the real estate excellence, they made an extra effort to assimilate us and many of their other clients into the new environment in DC Ranch through events at their home and country club.
In addition to their excellence as realtors, they are great people. They have high integrity, great social skills, and through words and deeds demonstrate that they both care and take an interest in their clients.
I have referred Don several times to prospective clients looking for real estate in the North Scottsdale market and each and every one of them had the same experience that we did.
Any firm that recommended Don and Jenny to their clients would be doing their clients a big favor as they explore a real estate transaction in North Scottsdale.

I have executed three single family home real estate transactions with The Matheson Team, RE/MAX Fine Properties, Scottsdale, AZ, over the past few years.
Don and Jenny Matheson, as well as their team, are very professional in everything they do. Their attention to detail is impeccable and they always communicated in a timely and efficient fashion. I was impressed by their innovative approach and the use of technology to enhance their services.
I have been doing private real estate transactions not only in the US but also abroad. What differentiates The Matheson Team approach most is their outstanding after the sale service. I always felt that they were there for the entire family and make transitioning from one location to another so much easier. Don and Jenny Matheson offer great value from start to finish and beyond. Don even helped improving my golf game in the beautiful Valley of the Sun.
I highly recommend The Matheson Team to anyone looking for the "best in the business" to buy or sell their home. They truly have the customer's best interest at heart from the time you first meet them until the job is completed.

Dr. Werner Bonadurer, Clinical Associate Professor of Finance Arizona State University W.P. Carey School of Business Department of Finance
It is with great pleasure that I write on behalf of Don Matheson of RE/Max Fine Properties. Don and Jenny Matheson and their fine team exemplify the kind of people with whom anyone would wish to do business.
Don Matheson has served with distinction for several years as a member of the Board of Directors of the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce, and in that time he has emerged as a true leader within our organization. He has met with great success professionally, the kind of success that often turns people inward and arrogant or turns them outward toward giving back to his community in thanks for the rewards of his hard work. Don has unfailingly turned outward - choosing to give back and help others as a part of his plan for personal and professional fulfillment.
What separates Don Matheson from many others in his field is his refined and overt set of ethics. All realtors are meant to be ethical, of course, but Don and his team consistently endeavor to exhibit the kind of ethical standards that one rarely sees in any area of the business world. Whether he is helping an individual in dire straits or working through a listing with an individual with unrealistic expectations, Don remains that hard-working, caring person determined to give the client his very best at all times.
Now Don and his group have added a new enterprise to their stable of services. Working under a designation from Fannie Mae, Don's team has begun to work with foreclosed properties, ensuring that vacant properties get in saleable condition, supervising the maintenance and upkeep and getting them on the market - priced appropriately and marketed well.
If it sounds like I would recommend Don Matheson without reservation, then that would be an understatement. He and his team are the people I would turn to in good times or bad because truly good people who excel at what they do are indeed rare and wonderful to know!
Sincerely,
Rick Kidder, President/CEO Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce, Scottsdale, AZ
Dear Mr. Matheson,
The City of Phoenix Heat Relief Efforts for 2007 proved to be a tremendous success due to the generous contributions we received from local businesses and non-profit organizations.
Those contributions were the heart of this effort. For people living on the streets, summer months become more than uncomfortable; they become life-threatening. The distribution of water, as well as other items, helps to alleviate the effects of our unrelenting summer temperatures.
Through your generous donations, the City of Phoenix collected and distributed over 108,000 bottles of water, 1,558 containers of sunscreen and 5,298 pairs of socks, underwear and hats to those who are homeless.
Without the support and generosity you've provided, we would not be able to provide this relief throughout the hot summer months. Thank you for making a difference.
Sincerely,
Phil Gordon, Mayor, City of Phoenix Phoenix, AZ
Dear Mr. Matheson,
I want to congratulate you on receiving the 2007 Segner Business Volunteer Award from the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce. Your commitment to making a positive impact on the community serves as an example for every member of the Scottsdale community.
It is obvious to me that you have spent significant time both personally and professionally working to strengthen our community. As a Segner Award winner and a long-term local entrepreneur, your dedication to the people of Scottsdale and the Chamber is remarkable. It is because of citizens like you, who embody the spirit of volunteerism, that our community and local businesses are constantly growing and thriving.
Thank you again for your contributions and please let me know if I can ever be of service to you in your endeavors.
Sincerely,
Harry E. Mitchell, Member of Congress, 5th District Scottsdale, AZ
