Matt is the Broker/Owner of iMetro Property.  Matt has been a Realtor for 11+ years and has helped clients navigate the highs and lows of the market.   Matt’s passion beyond real estate is being with his family, coaching, and church.  Matt has been married for 12+ years, has four children, and lives in Lakeville.  Matt coaches traveling soccer and hockey in Lakeville.

Matt grew-up in Burnsville and graduated from Burnsville High School.  After graduating from Burnsville he attended St.  Olaf College in Northfield where he graduated with a BA in Political Science and played hockey and soccer.  After college Matt worked for a Fortune 500 Logistics Company in sales and National Account Management.  It was shortly thereafter that Matt began investing in real estate and decided to commit to real estate full time to follow his passion.  Matt focuses on traditional single family home sales, first time and experienced buyers, investors, short sales and REO/Foreclosures. 

Matt is well respected and trusted within the real estate industry at large.  Matt has been voted “Super Real Estate Agent®” by Minneapolis & St. Paul Magazine for 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, and “Real Estate Agent Voted Top in Their Field” by Twin Cities Business Magazine.  Fewer than 3% of all licensed real estate agents in Minnesota are selected to receive these distinctions.  Matt’s team sold 225+ homes in 2013.
