“Thank you for remembering my name,” he responded with a surprised and touched look in his eye.

That small, seemingly insignificant moment came to be one that would define my career and my life. While working at a substance abuse rehabilitation facility, this man taught me the impact that even the simplest gesture can have on a person’s day, week or life. This could possibly be the most important lesson I’ve ever learned. People have become my passion.

Growing up in northern Arizona, I had many other lessons to learn. As a general contractor and a real estate investor, my father gave me hands-on experience in both industries. He taught me the importance of knowing the foundation and construction of a property before considering it for an investment.

From these early years real estate became ingrained in me. And once I decided to become a Realtor as a career, Stark Company Realtors quickly became my only choice. Not just because the company has been family-owned for more than 100 years, but also because people and relationships are valued above all else.

Finding your home – and your realtor – starts with a connection…with people. I’d be honored to connect you to your new home and make sure it matches your financial needs as a sound, well-constructed investment.

*Matt earned a BA in Business Management from Northern Arizona University, after which he moved to Denver (where he worked at the rehabilitation center). After eight years in Colorado, he and his wife, Laura, decided they wanted a new city to call home. The Vigils packed up their two boys and went on a 35-state journey looking at multiple cities and towns in each state. Matt and Laura fell in love with Madison and soon discovered it matched their financial needs and was an investment they could grow into… especially with their third son being born here.
