NASHVILLE, TN — Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, closed out 2025 with continued momentum, marking a year defined by resilience, strategic growth, and milestone achievements across brokerage, capital markets, and technology.

 

As much of the commercial real estate industry continued to navigate elevated rates and uneven transaction velocity, Matthews™ remained focused on delivering superior service and results for clients, while also investing in the people, platforms, and partnerships shaping the next era of brokerage.

 

In 2025, Matthews™ completed $18 billion in total sales across 8,000 transactions. Since its founding, the firm has recorded $84.32 billion in total sales volume and 33,511 complete transactions. Building on this track record, Matthews™ achieved significant year-over-year growth, with revenue increasing 40% in 2024, followed by an additional compounded 40% growth in 2025.

 

“2025 was a defining year for Matthews™,” said David Harrington, President of Matthews™. “The market demanded creativity, persistence, and trust. We leaned into those challenges, strengthened our platform, and delivered results for our clients while continuing to invest in our people and our future.”

Growth, Expansion, and Brand Evolution

A major milestone in 2025 was Matthews™’ 10-year anniversary, marked by the company’s official transition to Matthews™. A streamlined name and elevated brand identity designed to reflect the firm’s modern, agile, tech-forward position in the market. The updated look and digital-first direction signal a company built for the speed and complexity of today’s environment, without compromising the expertise, hard work, and client-first mindset that defines the firm.

 

The firm also continued its national expansion, including opening a San Francisco office, an office relocation to a large space in Dallas, and the execution of a new office lease in New York, reinforcing the growth presence of Matthews™ coast to coast. As well as announced a strategic partnership with xChange.Loans enhancing its note sales auction capabilities and further diversifying its service offerings.

AI and Technology: A Smarter System for Sustained Deal Flow

In 2025, Matthews™ doubled down on what it believes will define the next generation of brokerage: technology that elevates productivity and strengthens relationships. As Kyle Matthews describes it, “winning smarter” is about ruthless efficiency, eliminating time spent on low-impact tasks so brokers can devote their energy to revenue-generating activity and client conversations.

 

With the use of AI platform that’s built by brokers for brokers, dealmaking will shift to surfacing opportunities, organizing follow-up, and teeing up the best next actions while keeping the broker focused on the art of brokerage. Matthews™ remains committed to being a tech-driven firm built for speed and intelligence, anchored in the relationships that power long-term client success.

 

“This rebrand wasn’t about changing who we are. It was about showing the industry who we’ve already become,” said Kyle Matthews, Founder and CEO. “We’ve built Matthews™ on collaboration, innovation, and relationships, and 2025 was proof that this model works, even in challenging markets.”

Capital Markets Performance

Despite one of the most restrictive lending environments since the Global Financial Crisis, Matthews Capital Markets (MCM) delivered another strong year. In 2025, the division closed nearly $1 billion in loan volume and increased revenue over 60% from 2024, while expanding its lender relationships and partnerships. Strategic hires and geographic expansion enhanced MCMs capabilities across multifamily, hospitality, and commercial assets, allowing for secure financing solutions even as debt markets remained constrained.

Industry Recognition and Media Presence

Matthews™ received extensive national recognition in 2025, with dozens of individual and team honors across multifamily, retail, net lease, industrial, and leadership categories. The firm was recognized by outlets including the Los Angeles Business Journal, GlobeSt, Commercial Observer, REJournals, Phoenix Business Journal, Nashville Business Journal, and San Francisco Business Times, among many others.

 

In addition, Matthews™ and its agents were featured in hundreds of media mentions throughout 2025, spanning market analysis, transaction announcements, and thought leadership across major commercial real estate publications nationwide, reinforcing the firm’s role as a trusted industry voice.

Looking Ahead to 2026

The firm remains focused on expanding its platform, investing in talent, advancing its technology, and delivering best-in-class advisory services across investment sales, leasing, and debt and structured finance. Matthews™ plans to open additional offices, expand into new service lines, and double its number of brokers over the next two years, underscoring the firm’s mission to empower agents, serve clients, and redefine what’s possible in commercial real estate

 

“We head into 2026 with confidence,” Harrington said. “The foundation we strengthened in 2025 positions us to accelerate as market conditions improve and our clients, partners, people, and technology are the reasons we continue to grow, and we’re excited for what’s ahead.”
