FIRST AND MAIN was founded in 2023 by dynamic partners Emilie and Matt Hart to better serve their local communities by putting their clients at the heart of their company. They intend to treat both their clients and their brokers, as they would a family member. After all, family always comes first.
Matt met Emilie in 2016 and immediately knew he’d met his person. They married in 2018, on Lake Chelan, one of their happy places. Fast forward to today, Emilie and Matt blossomed into a family of six; proud parents to four beautiful children who bring joy and adventure to their lives in ways they could never have imagined. Their family unit has grown as their business has continued to flourish and evolve, in synchronicity.
Matt forged his career in real estate over twenty years ago, very quickly becoming one of the most successful and influential real estate agents in the Pacific Northwest. Operating from the standpoint that anything is possible, Matt will go to bat for every single one of his clients to make their dreams become a reality. He offers deep experience in negotiation, marketing, and sales. Matt’s super power is fostering meaningful relationships to astutely negotiate between buyer and seller. A natural-born problem solver, he is communicative, attentive, and unnervingly calm under pressure.
Meanwhile, Emilie is the creative force in this partnership. A visionary when it comes to interior design and aesthetics, Emilie brings elevated beauty to any home she touches. Emilie takes enormous pride in creating beautiful marketing collateral and her social media know-how is second to none. She is a charismatic leader, who lights up every room she walks into. Emilie also has a proven track record in converting homes to successful AirBnbs, helping clients make the most of their real estate investments.
Matt and Emilie attribute much of their success in this business to a shared belief that building meaningful relationships and fostering community is what matters most. They believe that real estate is not a commodity, it’s a community. Both Matt and Emilie are passionate about paying it forward and giving back, while never compromising on quality or integrity.
It’s all in the name: F-A-M. FIRST AND MAIN is a metaphor for being central to the beating heart of the communities Emilie, Matt and their brokers represent. Theoretically, the intersection between First Street and Main Street in a city is the town square, where all the magic happens, where people come together, connections are made and experiences are shared. Where people live their best lives. And that is exactly where FIRST AND MAIN aspires to be, right at the heart of its communities.
