About
I began working in the mortgage industry in 2000, while completing my degree in Organization Psychology at Argosy University in Eagan, MN. I continued to work as a Loan Officer through 2007 when an opportunity arose to become a Sales Director for a large Third-Party Administer, specializing in healthcare financing. I couldn’t stay away for long though…In 2016 I came back to my true passion, mortgages! Immediately after re-entering the industry, I was awarded with the Top Performers award in both 2017 and 2018. I am the son of a Military family; born in Augusta, GA, then moved to Springfield, MO, Wichita, KS and then finally settled down in Eden Prairie, MN in 1993. I served my Country for seven years with the MN Air National Guard. I live in Shakopee, MN with my wife and three beautiful daughters. I enjoy spending time watching them play soccer, cheerleading, dance, track, and cross-country.Testimonials

I always thought selling a home was as simple as putting up a sign and sorting through the offers. I couldn't have been more wrong! From day one to closing Matt was there to guide us through the selling process. His experience and knowledge was invaluable to us in what can be a stressful time.

My husband and I worked with Matt Ebbighausen and he helped us purchase our dream home! Matt was knowledgeable, trustworthy, professional, always available for questions, and helped us through our first home buying experience seamlessly! We are thrilled with the property we purchased and grateful to Matt for helping us every step of the way. We unequivocally recommend Matt and the IMetro property real estate group to buyers looking for properties in Minnesota!

As a new home buyer, the entire process can be incredibly overwhelming. Matt was with me every step of the way(for me, over a year) from providing resources to answering any question that I had. He is patient, he listens, and constantly adjusts his tactics based on the needs or guidelines that a buyer gives him. Once entering negotiations, Matt is able to aggressively pursue all options in order to get the best deal for his clients. I’m beyond happy with my purchase. The price, negotiations and all questions I had were handled expertly by Matt. He is absolutely a great asset for anyone looking to purchase a home.

Matt has great knowledge of the area we lived in and an excellent feel for how to price our home which ultimately sold in four days. He was very pleasant to work with and made all of the transactions completely painless. We moved out before putting our house on the market, and he capably took care of everything that was needed to get to the finish line -- picking up and installing a couple of replacement windows himself at no extra cost, and arranging contractors to take care of the few things that came up in the inspection report. he handled the inevitable negotiations (offers and counter-offers) expertly -- serving us very well in that regard. An honest and down to earth guy who I enjoyed working with!

Me and my wife first met Matt in 2014, when we were in the market looking to buy our first home in South Metro area. Matt did an amazing job showing us all the properties we asked (mostly after 5 pm to accommodate our work schedule) and providing us very valuable inputs which helped us make informed decision in buying our first home.Fast forward 5 years, when we decided to sell our property due to job relocation, we knew who we needed to contact, Matt! He worked tirelessly in listing the property and marketing it aggressively through his online and off line platforms. Not surprisingly, with in few days of listing we got an offer and closed it in less than a month. If you are looking to buy a property in the twin cities area, I highly recommend Matt, you will be amazed with what he has to offer.

If I could give Matt 1000 out of 1000 stars I would! Our family is so incredibly lucky to have had the pleasure of working with Matt at IMetro Property to both sell our current home and purchase a new one. This was our first time selling a home and we had no idea what to expect. Matt made selling/buying our homes so EASY with his constant attentiveness to each of our needs. He worked relentlessly to ensure we were taken care of each step of the way. Matt’s professionalism exceeded any expectations I had when working with realtors. He didn’t pressure us into moving in a direction we didn’t think was a good fit for our family. Additionally, he made sure to get back to us right away should we have any questions or concerns, educated us on important things we would need to know or expect, and also checked in on us throughout the process to make sure we were doing okay (because selling a home while living in it with a 10 year old, husband and two dogs is just a little stressful ? ). If you are looking for a patient realtor who isn’t afraid to go above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of to your exact specifications, you will, without a doubt, find that in Matt. Thank you SO MUCH Matt for everything you did for my family and I.

Matt did a wonderful job of guiding the strategy and execution of our sale. I interviewed 6 realtors before choosing Matt. He was the only one who felt like the timing and property were right for pushing beyond the recent price range of the neighborhood. Other candidates scoffed at the idea of listing that high. But he was right and we had a deal for our full asking price within just days of listing. He knows his stuff and understands the market. I would use him again for real estate dealings in the future.

Matt was an amazing agent from the start to the closing! He took care of me and my home when I had thought it wasnt possible to do so. He took care of everything that came up in a very timely and professional manner and I will be recommending him to everyone I can and I will definitely be calling him for any housing needs I have as well.

Matt was great to work with. We had previously worked with him to help us buy our home 6 years ago and then enlisted him recently to help us with the sale of our townhome, which originally had been our primary residence but we had been renting out for the past 6 years. He gave us great advice on what we needed to do to prepare the home for sale and when it came time to list the property and put it on the market, we got a full price offer within a few hours of listing. Matt was great to work with from the beginning of the process all the way to the closing table. It was smooth sailing the whole way through! We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.

I worked with Matt to both sell my home and purchase a new home, and I couldn't be happier with the expertise and professionalism he brought to the experience. He worked hard to sell my home at a competitive list price and was an expert negotiator when it came time to put an offer on a new house.

I had been struggling to find the right person to communicate with to purchase my home that I was awarded in a divorce. After almost 3 years of awful experiences of trying to resolve the situation, Matt became involved and I feel truly rescued me and my children! He listened to my story and communicated with the bank to help me finally purchase my home! He was very empathetic and patient with me and my mother and recommended a wonderful mortgage loan officer who was equally wonderful! Between the two of them, I was finally able to purchase mine and my children's home and not be evicted! I feel like Matt is an angel amongst us and I am forever grateful!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Matt!!!??

Matt helped us to find the right home in a great location for us. We had many specifics that we were looking for as we were looking to buy a home for our family and not just a house. He adjusted to our deviations from initial wish list as we explored different areas in the south metro and changed our mind. He was adaptable to our busy work and family life schedules. He helped guide us through the current housing market as we had been in our home for 16 years. He provided recommendations for updates to our current home. Matt was a great resource in helping us be able to buy a home before we sold our current home. Without this, we would have been extremely limited in our options and negotiation power. Once we bought a home, we were able to turn around and sell our current home very quickly and significantly above our expected sell price. He guided us through the entire process for both homes every step of the way to reduce the stress on us. Thanks Matt for helping us find the right home for our family!

Matt came in after we had been trying to sell our property for a couple of months and understood our needs; we needed to sell quickly to get a new build going, and our need for adequate equity to start a new build. He came with a business plan that was extensive and also made sense. He recommended all the classic things that we were told would help sell our house (previous agent did not do this). We got offers on our second week and he negotiated a selling price that would meet our equity needs. We are very happy with his performance!

Matt is hands down the best realtor that we have ever worked with. He went above and beyond for us in both the selling and the buying process. Not only is he very prompt, but he is also extremely knowledgeable and helped us through every single process and obstacle we came across (including a full home renovation and a delayed probate process, making sure all the moving parts worked together smoothly.) I would highly recommend Matt to Anyone that is looking to buy and/or sell a home.
