Real Estate Agent Matthew Dürt
About
Matthew Dürt has quickly established himself as one of Western North Carolina’s top real estate professionals. In just his second year in the business, he rose to become one of the top-producing agents in the region, closing $10 million in volume this year alone, all while earning a reputation for hard work, integrity, and results. Rooted in Brevard and Transylvania County, Matthew’s passion is helping people find not just a house, but a home that fits their lifestyle and dreams. Whether guiding first-time buyers, seasoned investors, or families relocating to the Blue Ridge Mountains, he brings a mix of professionalism, local market expertise, and genuine care for his clients.
Before becoming a top-producing Realtor®, Matthew was an award-winning high school speech and theatre teacher and a multiple-time state championship-winning coach. The same skills that earned him recognition in education — care, commitment, work ethic, strong communication — now form the foundation of how he serves his clients in real estate. And this is what truly sets Matthew apart: his ability to tell a story. With a background in theatre, he approaches every listing as a performance designed to highlight a property’s character and value. From compelling photography/videography and creative media to tailored social media campaigns and personalized showings, he presents each home or piece of land in a way that captures buyers’ attention. This storytelling approach consistently helps his clients sell faster and at higher prices.
But beyond real estate, Matthew is a husband and a father. He can often be found exploring the outdoors with his family, teaching at his daughter’s Montessori school, or cruising mountain roads in his Ford Bronco. Deeply connected to the Brevard and Transylvania County community, Matthew should be your go-to guy for all things real estate. No doubt about it: Matt Dürt knows dirt!
Testimonials
"I have worked with five realtors throughout my life buying six houses and selling seven. Unequivocally, Mathew Durt, is by the far the hardest working, and smartest realtor that I have worked with. That’s saying a lot, as a realtor I worked with in CT was outstanding.
I live out of state, and interviewed realtors to sell my Mom’s house in Brevard. Mathew’s proposal, with three options for pricing, was by far the most thorough and thoughtful. There was a lot going on with my Mom’ care, and Mathew was so patient. Once I hired him from afar, he was incredibly helpful with various referrals, communications, and coordination with contractors for the painting and minor repairs I wanted completed prior to placing the house on the market. This was WAY ABOVE the call of duty; however, Mathew assured me he was happy to help. I was also out of the country for much of this time. I just can’t say enough good things about Mathew. He is smart, strategic, and a work horse!
We had four offers on my Mom’s house in four days, and ending up selling for above asking.
Mathew, if you see this, once again thank you for making a challenging situation manageable, and a very positive experience!
My Very Best,
Dan"

"What a great experience working with Looking Glass and Matthew Durt. Matthew was on top of all details and he is so customer oriented. We couldn't have been happier that "fate" had put us together with Matthew when he happened to answer the phone the day of our call. We highly recommend Matthew and Looking Glass. Also, if you are selling, their marketing is top rate.

"We approached Matt with a widespread home search in Western NC and he was not only helpful, but a tremendous advocate for us. He was willing to explore ideas with us and offered great suggestions for new properties along the way. I especially appreciated his responsiveness during our search. If you are looking for a home in Western NC, stop your search for a realtor and just call Matt.

"I came to Matthew with a bit of a tricky situation with my budget and tough market. He was incredibly helpful and generous with his thoughts and advice. I really felt like he deeply cared about me finding a home that would be great for my son and I. His dedication and willingness to put ourselves out there Is something you don’t find very often. Over the time that we worked together, we have become and maintained a friendship. 5+ stars and more for Matthew!

"Working with Matthew has been exceptional from start to finish. He helped us sell our home in Hendersonville and another property in Asheville, and in both transactions he proved himself to be a rare kind of realtor, honest, detail-oriented, steady, and genuinely invested in our best outcome.
He handled every step with professionalism and clarity, communicated proactively, and guided us through decisions with zero pressure. What really stood out was how calm and capable he was during the inevitable bumps that come with selling a home; he always had a solution, always followed through, and consistently went beyond what most agents would do. If you’re looking for someone you can trust, someone who truly knows the Western NC market, and someone who will show up for you the entire way, Matthew is that guy.
Highly recommend."

"Where do I start… Matthew is an amazing realtor. He made the selling of our home smooth and stress free. From the very beginning we felt he went above and beyond with what a realtor could do. I called Matthew for some help with listing our home and by then next day he was at our house with a team of landscapers to prep the home, a local artist to help stage it, and a photographer. Not only did Mathew show up to our house the next day, but he even went to Lowe’s to help with the landscape design. He has an eye for design and the attitude to get things done fast and right. We eventually listed the home on a Thursday and had an offer accepted (over asking) by the weekend. I would whole heartedly recommend Matthew!"
-Andy Litteral
"Matthew Dürt is outstanding! I’ve worked with him both for home showings when I was actively looking to buy and later for a thorough, fast CMA. In every case, he’s been punctual, prepared, and incredibly down to earth. He has a way of making the entire process feel comfortable from the first conversation, which matters more than people realize. His communication is clear, he moves quickly without cutting corners, and he brings a level of professionalism that immediately builds trust. I recommend him without hesitation!"
-Megan Tickle
"Matt is the finest real estate agent I have ever worked with. He is extremely helpful. He knows his business. He knows the Brevard area like the back of his hand and I would not hesitate to recommend him for your next real estate transaction.

Matthew is always professional, hard-working and detail-oriented while maintaining a warmth and authenticity that can be hard to find in this industry.

I appreciate Matthew's genuine care for his clients, always putting their needs first, and doing his best to make the process easy and enjoyable for everyone. Matthew is a great communicator and fun to work with. You will not only love to work with Matthew but call him a friend too. Don't hesitate on hiring Matthew to help with all your real estate needs!

"Matthew was an amazing realtor and more importantly, partner for us when it came to finding a home in WNC. Not because he was showing us great houses (yes he did that too), but because he was patient, knowledgable, and cared about our family getting the right house - not the cheapest or first one. It was exactly what we need to calm our nerves about this process and we couldn't recommend him any higher!
