Matt grew up in a large family and was raised in northeast Philadelphia. He attended Cardinal Dougherty High School and LaSalle University. He graduated with a major in information technology and minor in business. Matt was a born business owner. He literally started selling lemonade on the corner when he was 7 yrs old. He worked 3 jobs throughout high school to help pay tuition. His entrepreneur spirit kicked into high drive when he was a freshman in college. He started his own business and ran is successfully for almost 10 years. Real Estate was his true passion and after doing it part time for 4 years, he decided to sell the business and go full time with his real estate career, and he hasn't looked back since. Matt is co-owner of the Home Experts For You Real Estate Team and M Property Management Services with Mike Sroka. He attributes his success in real estate to a steadfast commitment to customer satisfaction. Agents whose only goal is to close a deal or maximize their return on a single transaction are both short sighted and disingenuous. By focusing on the best interest of his clients, he builds long term relationships that last, and result in repeat business and referrals.
The entire team was amazing! We live out of state and selling long distance would have been impossible without Matt and Bri. Not only did they coordinate bids for needed work on the home but oversaw its completion. Matt even went as far as vacuuming up after workers left after driving over with his vacuum in the car since the house was empty! The team was very responsive and available for any and all questions and they were excellent negotiators. They know the market and work well with local realtors ensuring a seamless experience right through to closing. We first bought this home 9 years ago with Matt as our realtor and we will continue to trust Matt and his team for our real estate needs.
Matt and his team went above and beyond through a challenging settlement for our home. They consistently stayed on top of everything and kept us at ease as we kept running into hurdles in the process. They truly work as a team and someone is a always available to answer any questions or give advice on what you need to do during the process. Great team and a pleasure to work with!
My husband and I were first-time homebuyers new to the whole process and looking for a realtor we could count on to help us navigate through the market and find our dream home. Matt was very helpful throughout the entire process. He was responsive and supportive as our search criteria developed, giving us new listings in a timely manner so we could react quickly. He was extremely patient with us newbies to the process. Through market analysis and candid feedback, we were able to find an AMAZING home that surpassed our expectations. Matt was key to us getting a quick bid on this house and to the negotiations. Matt and his team made the house hunting process more exciting than stressful and we HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

We couldn't be happier with the way the sale of our home went, having Matt & his team working with us. From the beginning, his guidance, professionalism and great communication made the process as smooth as possible. We sold to the 1st family who came in to see our home but hit a snag when their pre-approval didn't go thru. However, Matt was able to put them in touch with a lender he works with & settlement occurred within 60 days from the first listing! For buying or selling a home we would absolutely recommend Matt & the Donnelly Team.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
I've known Matt for a long time. He's a great guy and, amazingly, he's an even better real estate agent. The knowledge and help of both he and his team were invaluable throughout the process of selling a home, beginning with what renovations and improvements to make all the way through negotiations and closing. They were always available and always willing to help or answer any question, large or small. They did a phenomenal job of keeping us informed and knew what decisions and changes would ultimately succeed, and they were right - the home sold in less than a month!Moreover, we moved out of the Philadelphia region and Matt was instrumental in finding us a realtor in the location we were moving, one that helped us secure our dream home!I cannot say enough great things about Matt, Andrea, and the rest of the team. They are everything you want when buying, selling or renting a home!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

We used Matt Donnelly and his team to buy and sell our houses and couldn't be more pleased. When we didn't find what we were looking for originally, he was patient and worked with us to find the perfect home. So once we found that house we needed to move quickly to get our old house on the market. His advice and guidance was great, we couldn't have asked for more. Even with the hiccups that came along the way, he got the job done and made me and my husband feel much better. I'd recommend Matt and the team to any of my friends or family who are looking to buy or sell. Thanks, Matt!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
THIS TEAM IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. After a trying experience with another realtor, switching to Matt was a game changer. By the time we started working with him, my husband and I were down to a very tight window for finding a new home before having to vacate the one we'd just sold. We'd already resigned ourselves to the likelihood of having to find something temporary, but Matt was confident that everything would work out. He made himself fully available to trek back and forth across town for showings, finding as much out about each property as possible before appointments so that we could cut to the chase on making an offer when the time came. Long story short, I'm typing this from the comfort of my new home, which we were able to purchase before our extremely short deadline. AND HIS TEAM...... We CANNOT say enough about our closing manager ANDREA! We had an impossible list of things that needed to get done in order to coordinate the settlements of our old and new houses, and were thrown a few serious curve balls throughout this process. I am completely certain that any of these obstacles could have derailed the entire effort, but Andrea confidently and calmly continued to reassure us that it was under control. She is remarkably thorough, consistent and professional. (And most importantly, she delivered- managing to arrange closing on our new property within an hour of the old one). The combination of these 2 agents is a force to be reckoned with. Do not hesitate to choose the Matt Donnelly team- they are top notch realtors who go above and beyond at every opportunity!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

We've know Matt for several years and there was no question who we would turn to when it was time to sell our house. Matt and his team worked tirelessly to help us prepare for listing and promote the property. Because of their efforts, we had several offers within a week of listing with only one open house.
