Matthew De Fede wins against cash offers, crowds of buyers, and impossible odds for Nutley homeowners.
Scroll through Matthew De Fede's 165 reviews and a pattern emerges fast: clients who expected a stressful process describe something closer to relief. One family spent nearly two years searching before Matt guided them to a home that drew more than 15 competing offers, including a cash bid. They won. That outcome is not luck. It is the result of a disciplined, strategic approach that Matt has refined working the Nutley, NJ market from his Franklin Avenue base.
Matt is the kind of agent who earns 4.9 stars not by being agreeable, but by being honest. He tells sellers what their home is actually worth, what buyers in this market actually want, and what timeline is actually realistic. That directness, combined with genuine warmth, is why clients describe meeting him for the first time and feeling immediately certain he was the right person for the job.
His affiliation with Realty Executives Elite Homes gives him enterprise-level resources, but the experience you get is personal. He answers calls, thinks strategically about your specific property, and does not hand you off to an assistant the moment you sign. Available every day of the week, around the clock, Matt operates on the same schedule as the market itself.
Matt works with both buyers and sellers across Essex County and the surrounding communities, with deep roots in Nutley and neighboring towns like Bloomfield, Belleville, and Montclair. For sellers, he brings a full pricing and marketing strategy built around current local data, professional presentation, and negotiation tactics that have helped clients beat out cash offers in competitive multi-bid situations.
For buyers, his value is patience and precision. He will not push you toward a home that does not fit. He will, however, move decisively when the right property appears, positioning your offer to stand out in a market where speed and presentation matter enormously. His track record in bidding wars speaks for itself.
Realty Executives Elite Homes also means access to a professional network that covers staging consultations, mortgage connections, and closing coordination. Every piece of the transaction is managed with the same attention to detail that has made Matt one of the most consistently reviewed agents in the Nutley area.

Matt's 4.9-star rating across 165 reviews reflects something specific: clients who came in anxious and left satisfied. His approach combines local market knowledge with honest, strategic advice and direct personal involvement throughout the entire transaction. He does not disappear after the listing agreement is signed.
Yes, and his track record proves it. One client successfully purchased a home that received more than 15 offers, including a cash offer. Matt knows how to structure and present offers in ways that make them competitive beyond just the dollar amount.
Pricing is based on current local market data, recent comparable sales, and an honest assessment of your home's condition and positioning. Matt does not inflate numbers to win a listing. He sets prices that attract serious buyers and generate the best possible outcome at closing.
Matt is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Real estate decisions happen on buyers' and sellers' schedules, not a 9-to-5 calendar, and his availability reflects that reality.
Absolutely. First-time buyers benefit from his patient, educational approach. He takes the time to explain each step of the process, set realistic expectations, and make sure you feel confident before any decision is made.
While Nutley is his primary market, Matt works throughout Essex County, including Bloomfield, Belleville, Montclair, and surrounding communities in northern New Jersey. His knowledge of local neighborhoods, school districts, and pricing trends extends across the region.
