Why Work With Matt Quinn?
Lifelong Ocean County resident. I've lived here my whole life, and I live in the towns I sell.
Licensed for 10 years. I've been full-time in real estate since 2023, with 50+ closed transactions ranging from $75,000 to $1,225,000.
A 5.0 rating on Google. I have 20-plus five-star reviews, including reviews from title company representatives, mortgage professionals, and cooperating agents who worked with me from the other side of a deal.
A decade in code enforcement. I'm also certified as a zoning official, so I can flag a permit or zoning issue before a buyer's inspector does.
Deep, repeat experience across Ocean and Monmouth County. My strongest track record is in Lacey Township. I also have a solid history in Berkeley Township, Manchester Township, Barnegat Township, Stafford Township, Toms River, Brick Township, Point Pleasant, and Wall Township, plus Monmouth County towns like Highlands and Atlantic Highlands.
Marketing on every listing. Every listing gets professional photography, drone video, and targeted online marketing.
A Background Most Agents Don't Have
Before real estate, I spent three years in construction and two years as a health inspector for Ocean County. I'm also a retired police officer. On top of that, I spent a decade in code enforcement, and I'm certified as a zoning official.
So when I walk through your home, I look past the square footage. I'm picturing what a buyer's inspector is going to flag, what an appraiser is going to question, and whether that addition or finished basement was ever permitted.
If there's a disclosure issue sitting in your home's history, I'd rather you and I find it before your home hits the market than have a buyer's inspector find it in the middle of a deal.
My Selling Process
1. Home Consultation. You and I will talk through your goals, go over your home's features, and build a strategy around the outcome you want.
2. Accurate Pricing. I'll use current market data, comparable sales, and local trends to recommend a price that gets you the most for your home and still draws qualified buyers.
3. Professional Marketing. Your home deserves more than an MLS listing. Depending on the property, marketing may include professional photography, drone photography and video, social media advertising, featured placement on my website, YouTube exposure, email marketing, and targeted online promotion to put your home in front of the right buyers.
4. Showings and Offers. I'll coordinate showings, pass along buyer feedback, negotiate offers, and help you weigh each one so you can make the best decision.
5. Contract to Closing. From inspections and appraisals to closing day, I'll handle the details, coordinate with everyone involved, and keep you posted the whole way.
Common Questions From Sellers
What's my home actually worth right now?
Start with the free instant home value estimate for a ballpark number. Then let's set up a walkthrough so I can give you an accurate number based on your home's condition, its upgrades, and what comparable homes nearby have sold for. The instant tool is only a starting point.
Do I need to fix things before I list?
Not always. Some repairs aren't worth making before a sale. Part of the first consultation is walking through your home together, and I'll tell you plainly which fixes move the needle on price and which ones don't.
What if I have unpermitted work or I'm not sure about a zoning issue?
This is where my decade in code enforcement and my zoning certification matter most. Tell me about it up front, and I'll help you understand your options before it turns into a problem during a buyer's inspection.
How does the process actually work?
Home consultation, pricing strategy, professional marketing, showings and offers, then contract to closing. The full breakdown is in My Selling Process above, and I'm with you at every step through closing day.
