“When deciding which real estate firm to place my real estate license, I considered several factors. First and foremost was the reputation of the broker in charge. The broker must be a professional with a high regard for the code of ethics of our real estate profession. I was looking for a knowledgeable, well informed broker who was invested in assisting his agents in building their careers. I was looking for an enthusiastic, no-nonsense, approachable mentor who would provide the education, support and encouragement to foster a positive office atmosphere. I am so very thankful that I have found all of this and much more at BHHS- C. Dan Joyner, REALTORS, with our broker in charge Matthew Thrift. Matthew Thrift Truly is an exceptional leader and I am thankful to be working under his guidance. “

“As a former licensee who moved away to care for family, and one who grew up in a real estate family, returning to the area and regaining my RE license, Matthew has provided an unmatched amount of support to me in establishing my business as a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices – C. Dan Joyner, REALTORS. I can say, without reservation, that no better brokerage exists. Matthew’s accessibility, dedication to helping and educating agents, support with new technologies, and not only detailed knowledge of contracts, but impact on state contract language, convinced me of where I wanted to be. Few people have more knowledge, or eagerness to share it, than Matthew Thrift. As a new agent, or even an experienced agent who needs to make a change for success, the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices – C. Dan Joyner, REALTORS family is the number one place to be. Number one in the world. Number one in the Upstate. It’s your choice to make. Make a great one, here.”

“After several years in the industry, I was looking for a change. I was in a place in my life where I either needed to make a career change or a brokerage change. I moved to the Simpsonville Office in the last quarter of the year and my outlook on my career changed immediately. I received guidance, I could have never imagined, I now work with a broker that cares, trains me, and always has an open door policy. Matthew has pushed me and continues to push me to be a better agent. I have built my business with guidance and support of a great broker. Failure is not an option, and not something that happens in our office unless you just don’t work hard. Our office and our broker gives you the tools and the guidance needed to reach the goals that you set out for yourself, your business and your family. “

“I simply cannot say enough nice things about Matthew Thrift! I feel like I hit the jackpot when he became my Broker in Charge! I am a person who recognizes and truly appreciates good leadership when I see it. To me a strong leader not only encourages & brings out the best in those around them, but also has the courage to not only talk the talk, but walk the walk! Matthew does not lead from behind, but stands as a beacon in our office. As a newer agent I feel greatly blessed to work under his leadership. He has a wealth of knowledge, and expertise, and his help has been immeasurable to me. I know I can count on Matthew to give it to me straight, if I need corrected, and I also know he is a soft spot to land, with lots of compassion, when I need encouragement. I know as my BIC, Matthew will always have my back. There is no second guessing it! I know he expects the best from his agents, and I personally appreciate his no nonsense, enthusiastic, and super fun nature!! He is a gem, and I count my blessings everyday that I have the privilege to work with the best of the best!! Thank You for all you do, Thrift Man!!”

“Honestly, I wouldn’t have the success I have had without a broker like Matthew. He is so responsive and always there for advice. Anytime I text or call he is right on it. In the event he is in a meeting, I always get a call as soon as he is done. We have 2 on-call Broker In Charges every week – but I have never needed them. And Matthew’s advice has always been sound – he has never steered me wrong! Our office meetings fill us with knowledge of contracts, issues, ethics … Our Paths class focuses on marketing and productivity. We have a powerful database system, AMAZING office and tech support, and everything we need in our office to be successful. I NEVER feel like I am “on my own” to sink or swim. I am supported and I love where I am. 🙂 Thank you Matthew!!”
