Matt Conser
REALTOR® – CA DRE License# 01899131
What is frequently forgotten about real estate is that it’s a business that’s as much about people as it is about houses. Listening, understanding, problem solving – these skills are key in any successful relationship, and they are just as essential for a successful real estate transaction. Matt Conser knows this, which is why ARG Abbott Realty Group is proud to have him as one of our newest stars.
Having grown up in Northern San Diego, Matt has detailed knowledge of the suburban communities of Rancho Penasquitos, Rancho Bernardo, and Poway, and their many sub-communities. “Because of my experience growing up in Penasquitos, I feel extremely well qualified to work in it and the surrounding neighborhoods. The suburbs are trickier than most people realize; you’ve really got to know the area to work there, and I know them well.”
