I had a very disappointing experience with Real Estate Recovery Group. I came to them during a stressful and vulnerable time, fearing the loss of my condo due to falling behind on my mortgage. I was hopeful that working with them would provide guidance and support. Unfortunately, that was not the case—especially when dealing with Matt.
Matt was extremely abrasive and consistently spoke down to me in our conversations. Rather than feeling helped or supported, I often felt belittled and disrespected. His tone and attitude made an already difficult situation feel even worse. It’s disheartening to turn to a professional for help and walk away feeling worse than before.
To be fair, the only saving grace of the experience was the staff. They were courteous, helpful, and much more professional than Matt himself. Honestly, they are the real heroes at that office, and they deserve the recognition—not him.
I would seriously think twice before working with Matt or Real Estate Recovery Group. There are other options out there where you’ll be treated with the empathy and respect you deserve.
Matthew Merenoff is truly exceptional! He took the time to help me better understand short sales and gave me the tools I needed to grow as a realtor. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about what he does. What really stood out was his creativity and ability to see solutions and opportunities that others might miss. I’m so excited for his upcoming course—Matt is a true resource for any agent looking to level up. Thank you again for all of your help and support!
Thank Matt and the RRG team for saving my mother’s home from bad realtors. With my home being in foreclosure Matt and his RRG team came in an stopped the foreclosure. The realtor and probate attorney that they worked with able to get the house sold. In the end I was able to save my mother’s name and gain some proceeds from the sale of the house. Thank you RRG and Matt. I could not have done this without you. If you need help call Matt and his team.
Matt and his team has went above and beyond for me and my clients.
We have saved multiple houses from foreclosure, allowing homeowners to capture equity, and gain a new chapter in their lives.
No other person I would trust with any of my files other then Matt and his team
Lia is also amazing. I wish she worked for me. Hard working, honest, and trustworthy.
I had the pleasure of working with Matt and RRG on a short sale that closed last week. They are professional, empathetic, extremely competent and relentless in following up to make sure everyone knows how things are proceeding. As a real estate agent, I have dealt with short sales and this was by far the most smooth and streamlined short sale I have had. I will work with Matt and his team, Gaby and Lia, any time and wouldn’t want to navigate another short sale without them. I very highly recommend!!
UPDATE:
Thanks to Matt and his team, they were able to help keep me in my home. I was not foreclosed on nor did I have to sell my home. I expressed to Matt and his team, early on, that my goal was to remain in my home. They made sure to accomplish my goal and I will always be forever grateful to this awesome group.
Matt was readily and immediately available to help me. Matt is extremely knowledgeable and was very proactive in assisting me for the best resolution possible. I have a huge appreciation for how resourceful he is when it comes to providing assistance. If it's something I needed help with that he doesn't specialize in or doesn't know the answer to, he networks to find someone who can provide the needed help.
Regarding selling my parents home- I was introduced to Realestate Recovery Group a few months ago. We tried to do a short sale on the property. The home was sold in a pool to a hedge fund. They overpaid for it and in the end they ended up wanting to do a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Matt and his team was amazing guiding me through this. I willl never forget what they did for my childhood home that my brothers and I grew up in.
I truly can not say enough about have amazing both Matt and Lia are! The experience I’ve had with them, through the sale of my parents home, has been absolutely top notch! If you are looking for a team with knowledge, compassion, patients and understanding, this is the way to go! This team has made our process painless and they have taken so much weight off our families shoulders. This truly is the way to go if you are looking for honest and reliable help! Thank you all so very much!!! We will forever appreciate you all!
Matt Merenoff is truly one of the best in the business! His honesty and authenticity set him apart—he genuinely cares about helping people and always finds a way to create solutions, no matter the challenge. His deep knowledge of distressed properties is unmatched, and he brings incredible insight to every situation. If you need someone who will give it to you straight while working tirelessly to get the best outcome, Matt is your guy. Highly recommend!
I am a local real estate agent in NY who came across the RRG group as a referral. I had a short sale opportunity for a client of mine and our first negotiator was not able to get it done. I was able to jump on a call with Matt's team and walk him through our situation. He was confident and professional and gave my seller & I detailed information on his process and expectations. Couple months later, we were finally able to get an approval that saved my seller from getting foreclosed on. Matt, Lia, Gaby, and the rest of his team are all extremely well versed in their craft and it was an absolute pleasure to work with them. If you're looking for a fair, honest, and hardworking negotiating team, RRG is the right move for you!
Matt Merenoff was GREAT every step of the process! I had no idea about his company beforehand, and I was feeling very overwhelmed with my entire foreclosure situation. Then Realestate Recovery reached out to me and made the entire process seamless. I was able to get help right away, as Matt is an expert that leads with effective communication and great care. I’m so happy I found them, I cannot recommend Matt and his team enough! 10/10
Our team at Leo Fortis Title Agency had the pleasure of working with RRG and Lia Chambers on a recent short sale closing. Lia’s attention to detail, extensive understanding of the short sale process and ability to communicate with and coordinate all parties involved in the transaction made the process extremely smooth. They are excellent partners to work with.
I cannot say enough good things about working with Matt. My client was facing a challenging pre-foreclosure situation. From the start, Matt and his team’s expertise in handling short sales was clear. They navigated the complexities with ease, staying on top of all the paperwork, negotiations, and communication with the bank. Their dedication made a potentially stressful process feel manageable and even smooth.
My ordeal with the banks was horrible. I was a 170 thousand dollars upside down on my home after trying to work with the banks for 2 years they would not assist me. RRG came in and made it happen with no money out of pocket and no impact on my credit score. If anyone is in trouble with their home, you have to give RRG a call. The team is extremely Professional, Knowledgeable, Diligent and Honest. Thank You RGG for helping my family and myself move on with our lives.
RRG is invaluable when it comes to negotiating short sales - no two files are the same, and there seems to be no hurdle this team can't climb. We've just closed on a moderately complicated short sale, and were all surprised when a post-closing water bill popped up. Although their job was completed, the RRG team went above and beyond to rectify this issue for our client and brought this to resolution. Highly recommend
Worked with Matt on two different occasions and will continue to do so. Very knowledgable in working with distressed properties and operates with integrity which is rare in the short sale space. He was a panelist for my foreclosure seminar back in Feb 2024 and again recently offering our brokerage a free class on short sales. If you're a realtor (in any state) do not hesitate to sign up. He is a wealth knowledge and the information he gives is invaluable. You will not regret it!
