Matt is VP of Business Development for the Coldwell Banker Schmidt Family of Companies and a 14 year veteran of the industry.  He has served local, state and national associations in various roles, and is particularly proud to have co-founded Michigan REALTOR Young Professionals network and TAAR YPN.  A member of the NAR Leadership Academy class of 2011, he is passionate about the development of the next generation of great REALTORS.

Matt has been engaged at the nexus of social media and real estate for several years, and has developed great friendships and better business practices through constant learning and adaptation of technology.

Matt says of himself: “I’m a dad to three awesome boys, husband to an incredibly supportive wife, a golfer with an insufficient attention span, a compulsive learner, sometimes writer,  and an unabashed speaker.  I’m sometimes too loud, and I’m sure some think I’m overly enthusiastic.  I want to change the world, I’m a total geek and a true believer in the power of social networks, and I’m taller in real life.”

He co-founded and co-authors the blog P1Fran.com, and he co-founded and co-hosts the talk radio show BlogTalkRadio.com/RaiseTheBar, both of which focus primarily on the issue of “raising the bar” of professionalism in the real estate industry.
