“As Rizzo Mattson, REALTORS celebrates 40 years of real estate service throughout Maine, we are delighted to bring onboard someone of Matthew’s diligence and devotion to caring, personal service,” said Brian Rizzo, designated broker-owner of Rizzo Mattson, who also serves as the immediate past president for Kennebec Valley Board of Realtors and as a director for both Maine Listings and Maine Association of Realtors this year.

Asked what spurred his passion for real estate, Burnham responded, “I love how every home has a unique story to tell. The opportunity to help a family find a house and turn it into a home drives me to be as hardworking and personal as possible. It’s very important to be thorough and helpful throughout the process of selling or buying the largest investment most families will ever make.”

In his spare time, Burnham enjoys spending time with family and friends, listening to music, finding new adventures and hanging out with his black Lab puppy, Zeppelin.
