Matthews Real Estate Investment Services
Matthews Real Estate Investment Services is a commercial real estate firm handling investment sales, debt financing, leasing, and auction services for investors, tenants, and property owners across the United States. It describes itself as the largest privately held commercial real estate firm in the nation.
Investment sales are organized by specialization, with agent groups covering net lease retail, single tenant retail, shopping centers, multifamily, industrial, healthcare, corporate advisory, and leasing, each attached to a market and an office. The firm markets its proprietary data platforms and marketing strategies as part of the process.
Matthews Capital Markets arranges debt and equity nationwide for all asset classes and risk profiles, working from an active lender database to create lender competition on terms. Recent announcements include an acquisition loan for a medical office portfolio in California and financing for a master-planned community in the Southwest. Auction services are offered for accelerated dispositions, alongside a 1031 exchange program.
The firm lists more than 30 offices and publishes market research, property type reports, a podcast, and a market pulse newsletter. Because assignments are handled agent by agent within a specialization, which team and office cover a given asset is worth confirming before listing.
