I moved to Columbia at the start of middle school from Northeast Missouri. I am a graduate of Hickman High School. My roots here in Columbia are very deep. My father worked for the University of Missouri athletics for 11 years and my mother was a long time educator and administrator for Columbia Public Schools. After High School I went on to play college golf at Quincy University where I studied criminology. I moved down to Southern California to pursue golf further. Once out west I started shaking hands and networking out on the golf course; from a couple of those handshakes I found my true passion in real estate.
I got my start in real estate on the investing side of the business. I was buying and flipping homes as well as turning them into Air B&B’s and rentals across the country. Missouri pulled me back home where I have since made my home base. I was motivated to get my real estate license because I love helping people. I consider myself a problem solver. That is my motto for real estate investing and I have carried that into being a realtor. I am a very hard worker, self-motivated, and driven individual. I consider my clients family and will always go above and beyond for their needs and wants.
When I am not in the office you will often find me out in the woods hunting or hiking; when the weather starts warming up I will often be out on the golf course, or out in my kayak floating down a river with my fishing pole.

Matt Garner was very professional and attentive. He understood my goals and helped me to accomplish them. Working with him made the house selling process easy and fast. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
