Matt Sheeder
Partner
Matt has spent the last decade working with some of the largest companies in Minnesota and beyond. Matt started working in Commercial Real Estate in 2021, where he quickly realized this was
what he was meant to do.
He spent nights, weekends, and most of his PTO learning and developing in the world of CRE before he left corporate America to follow his dream in 2024. Prior to that, Matt served as a Vice President of Sales for the largest media company in America. He has made a career out of prioritizing his clients’ needs ahead of his own.
Matt takes great pride in understanding his clients’ businesses before advising them on their real estate needs. As we often hear around the office “If you don’t understand your client’s business you can’t find them the perfect place to run it”. Matt is always looking for what’s next, finding creative solutions, and searching for new ways to grow alongside his clients.
Outside of work, Matt enjoys fishing, golfing, and being with friends and family. Matt and his wife, Tonya, are known as Mom and Dad to Henry, Adeline, and their Cavalier, Gus.
