Matt Amuchastegui

Matt Amuchastegui has had the pleasure of working in many different industries and positions throughout his career. He has learned the trades of residential home building carpentry, construction management, commercialized construction such as building highway bridges and steel buildings, has worked in inside sales, worked as a purchasing manager, mortgage loan originator and finally currently working as a Real Estate Broker in the great state of California and Arizona. The first portion of this last year he also worked as a construction manager for AMA Construction in the rehab and construction of several homes in the greater Phoenix, AZ area.

Matt has been able to apply many skills from all of his past jobs, as well as his education from the University of Oregon to what he is currently doing. Matt prides himself in customer service and strive to make sure everyone that he works with, upon the completion of their transaction, feels as though he provided them with the utmost care, attention and customer service. It is also imperative that when involved with management and scheduling, that he builds solid relationships with the employees and other contractors to help keep them on schedule and within their budget. Business, at any level, in his opinion is about respect and relationships.

Matt has enjoyed helping people find their dream homes and has also really enjoyed the business side of negotiating sales contracts. Learning to value homes and determine how much they were currently worth and would possibly be worth in the future was also something that served to be an asset for him. Having the opportunity to work in all fields related to home acquisition, sales and management has helped Matt to be versatile in his ability to take on any task!
