Matt McElhone About Matt

Sales Associate

Matt first became interested in pursuing a career in real estate through working on a variety of Litchfield County properties for his father’s construction company. While studying at the University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez during his junior year of college, Matt realized his passion for architecture and helping others could be fulfilled in a real estate career and returned to Connecticut to pursue his new profession upon graduation.

Matt was thrilled to join the William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty team as a staff member after graduating from college in 2017 with a degree in Business Management. Within a year, he made his transition into sales. One of William Pitt Sotheby’s top producing agents, Irit Granger, recognized Matt’s dedication to building his business and ability to learn quickly, and the pair subsequently formed the Granger & McElhone Team in 2019.

Matt prides himself on providing the utmost level of service for his clients, and bringing a youthful perspective to the real estate business. His understanding of social media and digital advertising allow for his seller clients to maximize their marketing reach, and his knowledge of the local market brings the best homes and best deals to the attention of his buyers. Whether you are looking to sell your home, or to purchase a quiet weekend getaway, Matt’s devotion to his craft results in consistent approval from those that work with him.

A Warren native, and graduate of Wamogo Regional High School in Litchfield and Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, Matt’s roots are embedded in our area. As a lifelong resident of Litchfield County, Matt understands the impact of the Sotheby’s International Realty brand. The business education he received from the classroom and his father’s company, matched with his youthful energy and knowledge of the region in which he was raised help differentiate himself from his peers. When he gets a chance to take some down time, you can find Matt traveling and in the outdoors, whether it be in Connecticut, or while taking time to visit friends abroad.

Matt is an excellent professional to work with. I have completed several real estate deals with Matt's assistance and I am extremely impressed with his knowledge, expertise and attention to detail. In every experience I have with Matt he has gone the extra mile to ensure a smooth buying and/or selling process. Matt is always responsive when I reach out to him. I feel like he's always working towards the end goal of a deal closing and I don't have to worry whether or not things are getting done. In my most recent real estate deal, a multifamily property, we had a tight closing window and still a lot of leg work and back and forth with the sellers side to get the information we needed. Matt executed his part flawlessly and the closing went perfectly. He is also enjoyable to talk to and I can tell that he genuinely cares about his clients. I highly reccomend Matt.

"Matt was awesome to work with. He is a full time realtor and it shows! He organized several open houses for both the general public and other realtors. He gave very detailed information following each open house and showing. From start to finish we closed in just about 3 months! We are continuing to work with Matt on future ventures. Highly recommend working with him too if you are looking for a knowledgeable, full time realtor in Litchfield County! " Elisabeth F.

Matt was extremely helpful from start to finish. As first time home buyers, my fiancé had several questions along that way that Matt was able to answer fully and very quickly and was able to guide us in the right direction. We ended up with everything we wanted and couldn’t be happier. We would 100% use Matt again when we decide to look again. Sean Brady

As first time home buyers in this overwhelming market, working with Matt made the experience seamless and not nearly as intimidating. He was, and continues to be, such an asset and incredible to work with! He was so in tune with our wants and needs that it made the process so fun and enjoyable. His knowledge of the market, details about the buying process and every little thing in between was very helpful and made us feel very comfortable and confident. He was upfront and honest about every piece of information he received, very on top of everything and quick to respond and get us the answers we needed to buy our first home! Even after we closed on our house, Matt continues to stay in touch and help in any way he can. He has provided us with a list of recommended local businesses for some of the projects we are working on and answers any questions we continue to have. Not only is Matt an amazing realtor, he is a great friend because he will have your back no matter what and WILL find you the house you're dreaming of! Katherine Boros

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Matt as my realtor. Matt provided expert advice and priced my home right where it needed to be which allowed me to sell quickly and move into my new place by my target date. He was readily available whenever I had questions, and kept me in the loop through every step of the process, which helped eliminate a lot of the typical stress that comes with buying or selling a home. He is thoughtful, intelligent, professional, and a lot of fun to work with! I will definitely be working with Matt again and referring him to my family and friends. M.W.

I have now worked with Matt on multiple sales, purchases and rentals. Matt is very professional and organized and if you ask a question he will always follow through with an answer. I would definitely recommend him as a real estate professional. On our most recent purchase, a multifamily property, he did a great job with negotiations and bringing the deal to the finish line. His suggestion regarding an underground storage tank not only gave us the winning bid, but saved us some big headaches later. Great Job Matt Tucker H.

Absolutely phenomenal, Matt helped me find and purchase my first property (a duplex in Torrington CT), amidst the pandemic and innumerable other difficulties I don't think I could have pulled it off without him. Very professional, great at communicating and keeping me updated at every step of the way, and definitely investor friendly as he was totally on board with the fact that I was looking for not only a place for myself to move into but a place that would make for a great investment for my future as well. I can't recommend him enough and I hope that I have many more opportunities to work with him in the future. Tim B.

Matt helped us navigate a market we knew very little about, and then managed us through an extremely complicated and long purchase process. Throughout the journey nothing was too hard for Matt, he worked relentlessly to help us secure the property at the best price and ensure that all the issues and problems were solved without fuss. We have worked with a number of agents over the years and Matt was by far the best we’ve had the pleasure to work with. In addition to his skills as an agent, he is a truly great guy - even after we closed and moved in Matt was checking up on us and helping with additional questions about the area etc. Can’t recommend highly enough.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Matt as my realtor. He is professional in every sense of the word. No matter what time of day or how busy he is, he always picks up the phone and answers any questions or resolves any issues immediately. Matt is young and therefore full of energy, and possesses a work ethic that is unmatched. His creativeness and negotiating skills allowed me to purchase my latest property at well below asking price. If you’re looking for a hardworking and talented agent who will go above and beyond for you, then look no further than Matt McElhone. William Kennedy

Matt was an absolute pleasure to work with. Selling your home can be a stressful process, and Matt’s professionalism and work ethic allowed me to relax knowing that I was in great hands. This is the second time I have used Matt as my realtor, and because of his negotiating skills and understanding of the market, I was able to buy at a great price and turn a sizable profit when it was time to sell. I have already and will continue to refer him out to friends and family! Mark T.

My wife and I came across Matt by random chance; however, after working with Matt to purchase our dream property we want to make it known to anyone interested in purchasing a property in Litchfield that Matt is the agent to engage with. My wife and I had no knowledge of Litchfield and the natural beauty that lies within Litchfield and Matt was there to show us what Litchfield has to offer. Matt carefully listened to our search criteria and delivered on every bullet. Matt viewed each property with us and provided honest feedback as if he was purchasing the property, in other words Matt did not try to rush a sale. When we decided to pursue our property, Matt provided us with the best team of mortgage brokers, real estate attorneys and insurance brokers to work with to obtain a mortgage, title search and home owner insurance in order to close the deal. We purchased our property through an auction for foreclosed properties, which had a strict timeline to close after winning the auction. Matt ensured that everyone involved stayed on track to meet the timeline, which we did. My wife and I did not have to take off from work one day during the process and we did not have to worry about meeting the timeline because we knew we can count on Matt. If you are thinking about purchasing a Litchfield property, make Matt your agent, you will not be disappointed. Gianfranco Audia
