About Matthew Callahan

Matthew brings a structured and detail-oriented approach to New York City real estate, grounded in clarity, transparency, and accurate information. As a real estate advisor at Platinum Forbes Global Properties, he works with clients across the city, guiding transactions with a focus on realistic expectations, timely communication, and a well-managed process from start to finish.

A native New Yorker based in Ridgewood, Queens, Matthew has spent years living throughout neighborhoods including Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Park Slope, Clinton Hill, and Bushwick. This experience has shaped his understanding of neighborhood dynamics, pricing shifts, and the pace of the market, allowing him to guide clients with clarity and precision.

Matthew combines experience in sales, negotiation, and strategic presentation to support both sides of the transaction. For sellers and landlords, he provides property preparation guidance, pricing analysis, and marketing coordination. For buyers and renters, he offers market data, scheduling support, and assistance through applications and contracts. His process-oriented approach prioritizes organization, responsiveness, and adherence to compliance requirements.

His background in the restaurant and wine industry developed strong communication, empathy, and service skills, which he applies to simplifying complex transactions and helping clients navigate decisions with confidence. His interest in real estate grew from exposure to the city’s housing market and the operational structure behind residential transactions.

Outside of his role, Matthew is involved in photography and music, bringing a creative perspective to presentation and detail. He is also a drummer and enjoys basketball, professional wrestling, and exploring beyond the city.
