About Me

Matthew Pope has been working closely with European brokerage firms and investors for several years, plus boasts solid experience in new development that clarifies complex everyday situations one may face with new construction and/or conversions. His great patience, attentive service and keen negotiating skills combine with his proven expertise to make him an invaluable asset to customers and clients alike.

Matthew’s elite partnership team, Group Pope, are representatives of The Corcoran Group who offer the traditional full-service aspect of a real estate brokerage firm, as well as experience in 1031 Exchanges and Buyer's Agency. As exclusive sales and marketing real estate firm that guides customers to success, no one will work harder to protect your best interests in a deal.

Specializing in the Hamptons and North Fork areas of Long Island, Manhattan, and the Park Slope and Brooklyn Heights sections of Brooklyn, Group Pope uses three listing services, not one! (NYC Real Plus “Taxi”, Long Island MLS & Hampton's MLS). NYC’s Real Plus “Taxi” alone reaches 28,000+ brokers and a large connected corporate database of potential buyers. This includes a daily listing of your home on New York Times, on Trulia, on search engines such as Yahoo and Google, and other specific targeted websites…opening the door to tens of thousands more prospects who will be exposed to your home.

Matthew’s glowing testimonials are the greatest evidence of his fine work, among them: “You found several buyers for my Tribeca loft, getting more per square foot in the building, plus helped me find my new townhouse in Brooklyn, all the while coordinating the timing of both closings perfectly…and going beyond the call of duty. After a long search for a broker (and I met many), I found you to be absolutely trustworthy and hard working-a rare find.”

Became a Gramercy Park resident in 1987, Matthew has been investing and helping in resells in New York, Florida and California since 1989 and has been working full time in New York since 2002. Outside of work, he enjoys the arts, fishing, tennis, gardening, and barbequing at his Mattituck getaway home in the North Fork.

Respectfully,

Matthew Pope

Testimonials

"He was professional throughout the process. Matthew suggested us an area (Park Slope-Brooklyn) where we live today that really knew nothing about and are very thankful of his insight and persistence. We hope that this letter will help in choosing, there are few Matthew Pope's out there."
Enrique M. Thu Feb 16, 2006

"I'll be glad to vouch for Mr. Matt Pope. He had handled the selling of our home with much ease and savvy. He definitely had our best interest by introducing an interior designer that convinced us to add some furnishings and eliminate or put away what was not presentable, allowing our home to be more open than a box of clutter, as it was. Cannot forget, we also had some problems with the buyer and Matt kept on top with the agent to make sure the communication channel was open. We found out later that Matt went beyond his role to make this happen and are very thankful We're very happy to refer you, thank you again."

"(As far as your help with the sale of my Mom's apt. at Chatham Green you were aces. You coordinated the removal of the old furniture; the obtaining of the new flooring & the painting of the apt. and the best of all getting the apt. sold within 10 days at the highest price ever paid in that condo for a 1 bedroom apt.. So what else can I say besides thanks for everything. If I can do anything else please let me know.)"
Tony D. Tue Dec 4, 2007

"(Thank you for your help in both selling my Tribeca. loft and in helping me find my new townhouse in Brooklyn. You found several buyers for my loft........one who ultimately paid close to 1000 a square foot.......more than any other at 366 Broadway. You also helped coordinate the timing of both closings and went beyond the call of duty to arrange many visits to my new home before it was mine. After a long search for a broker (and I met many) I found you to be absolutely trustworthy and hard working-a rare find.)"

is a fixer upper bed-stuy or Bushwick a good investment for a first time home buyer?

Asked Sun Apr 6 2008, 08:20 by Kimberly - Bedford - Stuyvesant - Home Buying - 3 answers

Matthew Pope answered:

Kimberely,

The answer is yes, as an example, my listing in Bushwick is two blocks from the "L" train and takes 20-25 minutes from the front door to Union Square, it takes me 30-35 minutes from Park Slope. I would suggest to consider proximity to transportation , shops, schools and grocery store. - Thu May 15 2008, 16:13

Matthew Pope answered:

Jennifer,

Every condominium building has by laws that you can read in the condo offering plan, these are established by the sponser and of course with certain guidelines your condo board can amend some changes. However, your building manager is correct in the buildings insurance and may not have the liability for such a wonderful event, regards to not being zoned, that may be a incorrect it is not a commercial space that's being rented out. Good luck and best wishes to you and your future spouse, If you have any further questions do not hesitate to ask - Thu May 8 2008, 20:25

Moving from UWS to Carroll Gardens, has anyone else made that move?

Asked Fri May 4 2007, 08:04 by Heather Fern… - New York - Entertainment & Nightlife - 2 answers

Matthew Pope answered:

Carroll Gardens has the subway (F& G) lines. It has one of the last Italian communities and being close by to Cobble Hill and Brooklyn Heights allows plenty of dining options. It's becoming over the years a hip cool place and an extension of Manhattan, which many Manhattanites have moved of recent. I like the different variables so close by. Any questions: mpope@swigequities.com - Mon Jan 14 2008, 08:59
