If you're looking for a commercial realtor who genuinely cares about his clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Matt Totaro. As the owner of a small, local family business in Catonsville, I spent months searching for the right commercial property. From day one, Matt treated the process as if it were his own investment. He was patient, incredibly responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile. This wasn't an easy transaction. There were plenty of unknowns and obstacles along the way, but what impressed me most was Matt's integrity. At every step, I truly felt he was looking out for my best interests—not just trying to get a deal done. That's a rare quality, and it's something you recognize quickly when you work with him. Thanks to Matt's guidance, dedication, and unwavering support, I was able to purchase the perfect property for my business. I'm incredibly grateful for everything he did throughout the process. If you want a realtor who is knowledgeable, hardworking, honest, and genuinely invested in his clients' success, I recommend Matt without hesitation.

Matt was a constant source of knowledge and expertise when touring properties. The perfect mix of being consistently responsive and available without ever being pushy or rushing us to make a choice before we found something we loved. Matt was instrumental in helping us to put together a competitive offer in order to keep the home we purchased off market!

Matt is a subject-matter expert in one thing - Catonsville, MD. He knows the housing market and moves quickly to get me in to see a house, and to get offer documents completed quickly. He knows an assortment of craftsmen, so when I will want to make changes to the new house I can just ask him. So that's full circle - he knows the area, can get me connected, and help me after the sale. What more do you want? I'll answer that - he mowed the lawn the day before closing in case the seller came by! Who else does that? He's great!

We decided to work with Matt because we were looking to move from our older home in Catonsville, and wanted to work with an expert in the older and historic homes in the area. We went to Matt for the purchase of our new home, and the sale of our old one. Matt got us a good price on our wonderful new home, and helped make sure that the purchase went very smoothly. Our house needed some work to show at its best, and Matt guided us through the repair work, staging, and produced a lot of publicity for the listing. He referred us to great connections for handling flooring, paint and patching, countertops, and staging. He got us great prices for the work to be done. He went way beyond, managing the work to get everything done quickly to list in just a month. When our old house went on the market, he was able to get us over 20 showings the first weekend, and we got 8 good offers within a week. We selected an offer for 13percent over asking price, and closed within a month. Needless to say, we were thrilled! Thanks to Matt, moving was a pleasant experience, quick and financially rewarding. If you're looking to buy or especially sell in the Catonsville area, do yourself a favor and go with Matt

Matt helped us buy our dream home and then sell our 1879 home in Catonsville. Throughout the whole process, he was knowledgeable, responsive, and made the process seem easy. Matt is a perfectionist. He made sure our 1879 home was in the best condition it could be before it hit the market. Like all older homes, ours needed a few things done. Matt made a list of suggested repairs with estimated costs; he met and negotiated with contractors, and supervised all repairs. He came in under budget and on time, an even took care of a few things himself, like painting radiators and installing light fixtures. Our home went under contract 4 days after listing, with multiple offers! If you're looking to buy or sell in Catonsville, especially an older home, I highly recommend Matt.

I highly recommend Matt's realtor services - he was extremely helpful in the often nerve-wracking process of buying a home. He was patient with hiccups that were beyond my control & always answered my questions in a thoughtful & timely manner. Already recommended him to friends, and would certainly use his services again should I need them.

If your buying a home in near future Matt the guy he will definitely get things moving and hiring the right contractors for any repairs needed prior to selling 10/10 definitely recommend.

Outstanding experience from start to finish. Matt helped me from the initial home-buying steps of narrowing down preferred neighborhoods and getting pre-approved for a mortgage, all the way to personalizing the details of my closing to ensure the deal was completed. Matt was readily available via text or phone call and remained extremely flexible during our time working together. Matt knows Catonsville inside and out and can be trusted for your home purchase or sale!

I recently worked with Matt Totaro on a transaction in which he represented the buyers, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Matt maintained clear communication, responded promptly, and approached every step of the process with professionalism and cooperation. His attention to detail and strong organizational skills contributed to a smooth and efficient transaction. My clients appreciated how seamless and stress-free the experience was, due in large part to Matt’s diligent work on his side. It was a pleasure working with him, and I look forward to future transactions together!

Catonsville by the Numbers

Catonsville is one of those rare Baltimore-area communities where small-town charm and city convenience coexist. It’s walkable Frederick Road shops, top-rated schools, and a genuine sense of neighbors knowing neighbors. The kind of place people move to and never leave, which is exactly why I’ve raised my family here. Whether you’re buying your first home or getting ready to sell, having an agent who’s actually part of this community, not just working in it, makes all the difference.
