Matt has delivered his clients with extensive knowledge since the beginning of his Real Estate career in 1984 as Executive Director of Properties for Toebben Ltd. His experience has equipped him for every type of real estate transaction. Licensed in both Ohio and Kentucky, Matt continues to show his expertise and skills in the acquisition, disposition, and development of commercial, retail, office, and industrial properties.
Early in his career Matt managed the growth of a retail and office space portfolio from 56,000 sq. ft. to 480,000 sq. ft. whilst maintaining 97% annual lease occupancy.

In 2013 received the CoStar Retail Power Broker Award for largest volume of retail space in the Cincinnati market.
His skills in Creative Adaptive Reuse Developments are unprecedented such as acquiring the former Johnny’s Toys facility in Latonia for B.J. Novelty then converting to a multi-tenant facility then selling the facility to one of the tenants who has since expanded into approximately 75% of the 100,000 plus square foot facility.
