New York City commercial real estate moves fast — and experience matters

Matt Pelosi is a commercial real estate advisor focused on retail and restaurant leasing, investment sales, and development opportunities across Brooklyn, Staten Island, and key New Jersey markets.

After building a well-rounded foundation in residential and mixed-use sales at Sotheby’s International Realty, Matt transitioned to PreReal to further hone his commercial expertise and concentrate on the retail corridors and development-driven neighborhoods where he has become a trusted local presence. While experienced in residential transactions, his primary focus today is representing landlords, developers, investors, and hospitality operators in securing and positioning high-quality commercial spaces and mixed-use assets.

Now partnering with Rob Nixon — a results-driven real estate professional with more than $500 million in closed transactions and numerous record-setting sales — Matt has the team, mentorship, and market insight to execute complex commercial deals across the Brownstone Brooklyn neighborhoods he knows intimately.
