    About Matthew Bizzarro

    Matthew Bizzarro's journey to real estate is deeply rooted in his upbringing, which instilled a strong sense of community and family values. After earning a marketing degree from Fairfield University, he pursued a career in education, as a teacher and coach. In these roles, he mentored the next generation and worked to foster a deep sense of empathy and understanding, qualities that later defined his approach to real estate. Matthew's real estate journey began in 2002 when he took a summer agent position to supplement his teaching salary. Over the next 11 years, he watched the market trends, worked tirelessly for his clients, and gained a deep understanding of what clients truly need in their real estate journey. Matthew quickly developed a passion to serve people in a better way than the NYC real estate industry standard. In 2013, Matthew founded The Bizzarro Agency with the mission to find a better way to serve the people of Upper Manhattan--a neighborhood he felt was often neglected by the broader real estate industry. His focus was to provide exceptional service to this community, helping residents find homes and build a sense of belonging. Under Matthew's leadership, the agency has grown considerably from that initial reach, and now serves all of New York City and Westchester. The Bizzarro Agency's client-centered approach has led to over $750,000,000 in sales and more than 5,200 families served. The agency's success is further validated by its inclusion in the Inc. 5000 list and recognition as a Best of StreetEasy and Zillow Award recipient. Matthew's business philosophy sums up how The Bizzarro Agency has achieved so much in so little time: "You have to become an expert in whatever you do, treat people with respect, and always be honest and transparent. Clients can quickly spot authenticity." His commitment to both profession and community extends beyond his work at The Bizzarro Agency. A recognized local expert, he has been repeatedly featured on NY1 News, PIX11 News, CBS2 New York, and The New York Times. His influence is felt across the industry as reflected in his elected positions as Chair of REBNY's Upper Manhattan Committee and membership in REBNY's Ethics Board. Looking ahead, Matthew is committed to nurturing the next generation of real estate professionals, imparting the same high standards and values that have been the foundation of his success. Blessed with a loving wife and five children (yes, you read that right!), Matthew finds a way to balance his professional responsibilities with a fulfilling personal life. He is actively involved in community service, sponsoring numerous non-profit organizations across NYC and Westchester. Matthew also coaches Little League, delivers meals to people without stable housing, and runs "Be Great In Real Estate," a coaching program he founded to help new agents get off on the right foot in a tough industry.

    Stephenie Skyllas did such an incredible job helping us find our home. When we first started our search, she was so kind and patient with us (especially since we were not local to the neighborhood, she gave us great recommendations and allowed us to take our time with our home search. Once we were officially ready to find our home, she arranged a day of searching and with her wealth of knowledge and connections found us the perfect space. After that, she was right there with us to answer any question, give us recommendations on lenders, attorneys, etc. We highly recommend Stephenie because she really meets you where you are at, truly listens to your needs/wants, and provides tailored guidance and expertise.

    Stephenie did an excellent job selling my parents house. No detail was too small or too big. She was able to work through issues that arose tactically and creatively. Her knowledge of the neighborhood and her business was of a great asset going through this process. Forever grateful to Stephenie for her professionalism and advice throughout.

    I had the pleasure of working with Thomas Rainey from Bizzarro Real Estate Agency, and I couldnt have asked for a better experience. Thomas helped me find a beautiful co-op in Riverdale, NY, and made the entire process smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. He was always professional, incredibly knowledgeable about every neighborhood we visited, and most importantly, remarkably patient throughout the search. His attention to detail, honest guidance, and commitment to finding the right fit truly set him apart. If youre looking for an agent who genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Thomas Rainey

    Jeta Zykaj went above and beyond to help me find the perfect home. She took the time to understand what I really wanted, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the process. What I appreciated most was her honesty and dedication. I never felt rushed or pressured. I 'd gladly work with her again and recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.

    Working with Jeta was nothing short of exceptional. I stumbled across her profile by chance on Zillow, and I can honestly say it was one of the best things that couldve happened during our home search. From day one, Jeta went above and beyond to make sure we found the right home for our family aEUR" not just any home. What really set her apart was her deep knowledge of the market, her relentless perseverance, and an incredible amount of patience. She took what couldve been an extremely stressful process and turned it into something we genuinely enjoyed. Jeta isnt your typical agent. Shes not pushy, transactional, or salesy aEUR" shes thoughtful, thorough, and truly invested in her clients. She was always available, super responsive, and never made us feel like just another deal. She made sure every one of our boxes was checked and then some. Were beyond grateful to have worked with her, and Ill be recommending her to absolutely everyone I know aEUR" whether buying, selling, or renting. And when the time comes for our next move, we wont even think twice aEUR" were calling Jeta.
