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.
