Born and raised on Staten Island, Matt made the move to Ocean Acres in Manahawkin — right in the heart of Stafford Township — where he’s been rooted since 2017. He knows firsthand what it feels like to leave the city behind and discover the quality of life the Jersey Shore offers. That experience gives him a perspective no lifelong local can replicate — he understands exactly what buyers from Staten Island, Brooklyn and North Jersey are looking for because he made the same move himself.
