ORLANDO, FL—Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, successfully executed the acquisition of a 7-Eleven located at 2870 Formosa Gardens Blvd in Kissimmee, FL.

Matthews™ Delivers Broad-Based Growth in H1 2026 Amid Tech Expansion

NASHVILLE— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, ended the first half of 2026 with strong momentum across its national platform, driven by increased transaction activity, strategic market expansion, and continued investment in talent and infrastructure. During the first six months of 2026, transaction volume and deal count across investment sales, leasing, and debt financing increased nearly 34% year-over-year, outpacing the single asset investment sales market, which grew 15% over the same period. The firm’s momentum was fueled by exceptional performances across the firm’s retail and healthcare service lines. Matthews™’s in-house intelligence CRM, Artemis, reached new heights during the first half of the year, further advancing the firm’s vision for a smarter approach to client advisory. Artemis combines proprietary commercial real estate intelligence with AI, giving agents real-time data, market insights, and workflow execution in a single connected ecosystem, enabling them to deliver more strategic, data-driven advisory tailored to each client’s investment objectives. Backed by a 220% increase in the firm’s engineering division since 2022, Matthews™ continues expanding its in-house technology capabilities and investing in the future of AI-driven brokerage. Matthews™ increased agent headcount by 25% during the first half of the year, further strengthening its executive leadership through several strategic hires.

They cut platform, cut people, cut investment. We did the opposite. We kept building, kept hiring, and kept putting capital into the technology and infrastructure that make our agents better advisors,” said President David Harrington. “Now the market is showing signs of life, and the results speak for themselves. Growing nearly 34% and outpacing the broader market is not luck. It is the payoff for playing offense while everyone else played defense. Our agents have more tools and more support than at any point in our history, and our clients are the ones who benefit most.” Moving into the second half of the year, Matthews™ remains committed to recruiting top industry talent, expanding service lines into key growth markets, and delivering specialized investment sales, leasing, and capital markets solutions across the country. Technology will remain central to that growth, with Artemis continuing to evolve through expanded AI-powered automation, intelligent workflows, and enhanced platform capabilities that further streamline execution and empower agents. “The firms that win in commercial real estate will be the ones that put the best technology directly into their brokers’ hands. With Artemis, we’ve built an AI-native platform from the ground up, one that helps our agents move faster, serve clients better, and scale into new markets without losing the personal expertise that sets Matthews apart,” said Duerk Brewer, Chief Operations Officer. “We’ve also made a big investment in our tech division, including the recent addition of Quinn Finney as our new VP of AI and Engineering. That combination of technology and talent is what we’re building on, and I’m really looking forward to the next six months and beyond.” Source: MSCI Real Capital Analytics (RCA).

Matthews™ Successfully Executes Disposition of Four-Property Hudson County Multifamily Portfolio

JERSEY CITY, NJ—Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, facilitated the sale of a four-property multifamily portfolio located across Union City and West New York, New Jersey. Matthews™ Senior Vice President & Director David Ferber represented the buyer and seller in the $3,170,000 transaction. Located in the heart of Hudson County, just minutes from Midtown Manhattan, the portfolio totals 27 apartment units across four multifamily buildings. Approximately 89% of the units are two-bedroom apartments, with the remaining 11% consisting of one-bedroom units, offering a highly desirable unit mix in one of Northern New Jersey’s most supply-constrained rental markets. Seeking to efficiently exit a portion of its Hudson County multifamily portfolio, the seller engaged Ferber to execute a strategic marketing process designed to maximize value while providing certainty of close. Leveraging its extensive network of local multifamily investors, Matthews™ generated nearly 10 competitive offers over a 45-day campaign and directly sourced an active local investor pursuing a long-term strategy to expand its multifamily presence in the neighborhood. The portfolio’s immediate scale, premier Hudson County locations, and strong long-term rental fundamentals aligned with the buyer’s acquisition objectives, allowing Ferber to successfully complete all four closings over a two-week period. “This sale demonstrates that well-located multifamily assets continue to command significant investor interest, even in today’s market,” Ferber said. “The combination of exceptional locations, quality brick construction, and the ability to acquire meaningful scale through one portfolio made this a compelling opportunity. Pair that with convenient access to Manhattan and strong long-term rental demand, and buyers were willing to compete aggressively.” For more information, please contact David Ferber or visit www.matthews.com.

Matthews™ Executes Phoenix IOS Acquisition to Support Owner-User Growth

PHOENIX, AZ—Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, represented the buyer in the acquisition of an industrial outdoor storage (IOS) facility located at 234 E Mohave St in Phoenix, Arizona. Matthews™ First Vice President John Stroud facilitated the $8,500,000 transaction, marking the third-highest sale price for an industrial property within the SC N of Salt River submarket in the last year. Located within the MSA’s premier industrial corridor, the asset is ideally positioned near Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, offering convenient access to Interstates 10 and 17, Loop 202, and key regional transportation routes. The property offers 5,000-square-feet of office space and 26,141-square-feet of warehouse and manufacturing space, creating a functional balance between administrative and operational uses. Situated on a 3.88-acre lot, the IOS facility features A-1 zoning and a newly paved and secured outdoor yard. After introducing the purchaser for the buyer’s previous facility, Stroud remained a trusted advisor as the owner-user, a concrete-plastering company, sought a larger property to support its expanding operations. Leveraging his extensive knowledge of the local industrial market, Stroud identified the recently renovated asset as an ideal fit, offering the infrastructure, outdoor storage, and move-in-ready condition needed to support the company’s continued growth. Through proactive communication and established lending relationships, Stroud ensured a seamless closing, allowing the seller to capitalize on their value-add strategy while providing the buyer with a move-in-ready facility requiring minimal capital improvements. “The best transactions come from understanding your client’s business beyond a single deal,” said Stroud. “Having worked with this owner previously, we knew exactly what they needed in their next facility and were able to identify a property that supported both their immediate operations and long-term growth.” For more information, please contact John Stroud or visit www.matthews.com.

JERSEY CITY, NJ—Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, represented the buyer and seller in the $2,802,000 disposition of a mixed-use property located at 94 River Street in Hoboken, New Jersey. Matthews™ Senior Vice President & Director David Ferber facilitated the transaction. Situated along River Street in the heart of Downtown Hoboken, the asset is one block from the waterfront and a two-minute walk from the Terminal PATH station, providing direct access to Manhattan in under 10 minutes. The four-story building features 3,401 square feet of ground-floor and second-floor commercial space, along with four 650-square-foot, one-bedroom residential apartments on the upper floors. The seller, a long-term client, elected to dispose of this asset as it represented their final property in New Jersey before relocating to Florida. Despite having previously languished on the market with other brokerages, Matthews™ successfully generated over eight competitive offers within 45 days of marketing the property. Through a relationship cultivated over several years, Ferber directly sourced the neighboring property owner, whose familiarity with the market and adjacent ownership positioned them to capitalize on the property’s value-add potential. The transaction closed at 95% of the asking price without contingencies. “This sale reinforces that well-located assets continue to attract strong demand,” Ferber said. “A building in a prime location just a few blocks from transportation into NYC generated significant buyer interest despite a compressed cap rate and some vacancy, resulting in a highly competitive marketing process.” For more information, please contact David Ferber or visit www.matthews.com.
