Client Testimonials

Testimonials

Bo has  been doing Residential and Commercial Real Estate Brokerage in Greenville, SC for 25+ years. While Bo is proud of his achievements in terms of sales production, etc., he is most proud of his reputation and credibility with his clients.

Following are some unsolicited “thank you letters” and testimonials received by Bo from prior clients commending his attitude and his service:

————————————————————–

Suszanne and I truly appreciated your dedicated effort and hard work over the past several months. Thank you for not only representing us, but providing friendship through a potentially difficult process. Your guidance made this a seemingly effortless and pleasant endeavor. We look forward to working with you again in the future and would be glad to share with others the service and success you brought to us. Thanks in part to your persistence and enthusiasm my practice is off to a great start in a wonderful location……….Dr. Bart and Suszanne Williams

Bo, I wanted to thank you for everything! You were my first impression of South Carolina and your kindness, knowledge and accomodating spirit definitely made an impact on my decision making. This move to the South was a life changing one.  Thank you for being our first friend in Greenville. ……… Sincerely, Diana Van Houten

You were an angel sent to us in a difficult time & we will always be grateful. You are a very kind & generous friend. Please keep in touch! Now that we are settled in, we are all very happy!……….Lars and Kathy Johnson

(We) just wanted to thank you for being such a huge help to us in getting relocated back to Greenville. You did a great job professionally, but more than that you were always cheerful and positive, and you never let us get discouraged……. You’re a dear person and we’re glad we got to know you. ………Jerry and Jeannie Howard

Looking to relocate from the Northeast, we were led to check out Greenville, S.C.  But knowing almost no one or nothing about the area, we were given a recommendation to use Bo Matheny as our real estate agent.  Bo gave us a thorough  over view of  Greenville and went out of his way to search out an appropriate area and home for our needs.  His patience and expertise through the process of selling our home, finding a new one, moving, and settling in proved most rewarding for our family.  He helped us find a perfect home, in a perfect location and even after closing, he and his co worker Sharon, continued to work on our behalf for a comfortable adjustment.  We could not recommend Bo’s professional expertise and trusting kindness more highly.   Thanks for everything! ……….Bob & Donna Van Norden

Thanks to your efforts we found the perfect home for us.  Your persistence and willingness to go the extra mile made all the difference in the world.  Your positive outlook and what seemed like your unlimited availability made our house search less stressful.  Your knowledge of the area and your creative assistance during the negotiations added greatly to the process. We really appreciate all you did to help us find our house.                  ………..Bob & Rolande Kusek

Dear Bo, It was truly a pleasure to meet you. Your kind hospitality, knowledge, and professionalism is hard to find in any line of work….Usman

1031 (Like Kind) Tax Deferred Exchanges

For any of you who may be active or aspiring real estate investors, I think you might be well served by familiarizing yourself with 1031 Like-Kind (Tax Deferred) Exchanges. I hope this may give you a brief snapshot of the potential tax savings and benefits that this often misperceived and misunderstood investment vehicle can provide.

First, I’d like to thank John Boyd of Banker Exchange, whom I consider a local expert on 1031 Exchanges, for providing the following info along with permitting me to share it with others.

If you’re considering a 1031 Exchange, it can get very confusing very quickly. Can you avoid paying capital gains taxes? If you purchase like-kind property, is the transaction eligible for tax deferment? The regulations are detailed and strict; the language is complicated; the terms can be daunting. But the reward is great.

There’s no reason to pay taxes during a real estate exchange if you don’t absolutely have to do so. That’s where Banker Exchange comes in. Banker Exchange has been a Qualified Intermediary (QI) for more than 20 years and has experience with every type of exchange you can imagine. Their combination of experience and knowledge means that you don’t have to worry unnecessarily.

Don’t pay taxes if you don’t have to; let Banker Exchange help you with the guidance, advice, and Qualified Intermediary needs. Concurrently, I would surely welcome and appreciate the opportunity to assist you with any needs you may have for the potential dispositions of your ‘relinquished properties’ and/or for the acquisition of your ‘replacement properties’.
