SAINT LOUIS, MO— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, welcomed Austin Sweet as Vice President. Covering the Midwest and Southeast Sweet brings six years of experience specializing in the acquisition and disposition of retail shopping centers, with a primary focus on multi-tenant retail properties.

 

With over $100 million in transaction volume throughout his career, Sweet applies a thoughtful, diligent approach to every transaction, with a focus on long-term client relationships. Prior to joining Matthews™, Sweet began his career at Marcus & Millichap, where he rose to Director within the firm’s National Retail & Net Leased Properties Group. Throughout his tenure, Sweet has notably closed many Multi-Tenant Shopping Centers with a concentration on Wal-Mart shadow centers throughout the Midwest and Southeast. Over the past two years, he has also closed more than $30 million in shopping center transactions across Nebraska.

 

Sweet was drawn to Matthews™ for its national platform and the opportunity to expand his reach within the retail investment sales space.
