    Real Estate Professional Matt Abrams

    Real Estate Professional Matt Abrams

    In this episode of The Boston Podcast, host Dave welcomes Matt Abrams, a seasoned real estate professional and founder of Abrams Properties, to delve into Matt's personal and professional journey in the building and real estate industry. The conversation kicks off with Matt's childhood fascination with building, which never went beyond playing with Legos, to establishing his own company that specializes in decks, repairs, and eventually venturing into real estate development and the renovation of old houses.
    Matt candidly shares anecdotes from his life, discussing how he developed a passion for building from a young age, influenced by his uncle. Despite his claim of not being a carpenter, Matt's early experiences in building decks and his stint with a painting business laid the groundwork for his future endeavors in the real estate and construction business. The discussion reveals Matt's expertise in navigating the complexities of rehabilitating and modernizing old homes, a task he finds significantly more challenging yet rewarding compared to new constructions.
    Dave and Matt explore the evolution of Abrams Properties, highlighting Matt's strategic shift from working on personal projects to catering to third-party homeowners. They touch on the impact of client relationships and project challenges, including client expectations and the intricacies of renovation work. The interview also delves into Matt's insights on the real estate market, trends in home renovations, and the integral role of creativity and problem-solving in achieving client satisfaction and business success.

The chemistry of knowledge

David Yas delivers a well-balanced mix of engaging conversation and useful information for the listeners. He’s had authors, professionals, business owners as guests on the pod. I’ve read books because of his pod and I’ve even bought donuts because of his pod (the Kane’s Donuts episode). Keep at it, David! You truly are “The Good Stuff”. . .

Amazing

Haven’t lived in New England in over 20 years but started listening to Pod617 to keep up on what’s going on. David Yas is an absolute delight! Smart, funny, insightful. The wonderful Ed Nathanson and Kerri Daniels-Tabasky also drive me to listen more. Could not be happier with what Pod617 is putting out!
