More than just another real estate agent or marketing advisor in Ottawa, Matt Richling stands out with a unique approach that prioritizes finding the perfect living space tailored to you. At the heart of Matt's service is a genuine passion for marketing and unparalleled dedication to client satisfaction. Growing up in Ottawa, his journey in the sales and service industry began remarkably early, at just 12 years old. His drive led him to graduate high school ahead of schedule and pursue hands-on marketing education at Algonquin College.

By 2006, Matt's expertise found a home at RE/MAX, where he flourished as a dedicated agent. Throughout his career, Matt has consistently questioned the status quo, challenging himself with questions like "Why a bus bench ad? Why door knocking?" This proactive approach has granted him invaluable "been there-done that" insights into effective home marketing strategies.

Fun Fact: Matt's comprehensive understanding of homes extends beyond traditional real estate knowledge. He spent nearly two years working alongside a local custom home builder, gaining firsthand experience in everything from foundational forms to roofing. This background equips Matt with a deep understanding of construction basics, ensuring you receive informed guidance every step of the way.

“Matt, I honestly don’t think I would have ended up buying my first home if I didn’t have your help. I would not have made the decision if it wasn’t for your ability to relate to me and put me at ease throughout the entire process. Thank you so much for your hard work, encouragement, and for everything that I have learnt from you along the way. It has been a pleasure working with you!
