Matt Merlene

Realtor

I’ve called Charlottesville home since 2018, and my path into real estate has been shaped by a combination of global experience and hands-on investing here in Central Virginia.

Before real estate, I built and managed student exchange programs around the world—developing a strong foundation in logistics, communication, and creating seamless experiences for people in new environments. Today, that same approach carries into how I guide clients through buying, selling, and investing.

Over the past seven years, I’ve specialized in short-term rentals—personally setting up, managing, and optimizing properties throughout the area. I’ve also house hacked and invested locally, giving me a practical, firsthand understanding of how to evaluate opportunities, maximize returns, and create properties that truly perform.

I take a thoughtful, no-pressure approach—offering clear insight, strategic guidance, and a focus on long-term value. Whether you’re searching for a primary home, exploring investment opportunities, or looking to better understand the market, I’m here to help you navigate it with confidence.
