Many agents say they were born to sell real estate, but for Matthew Foley, those words may be literal. Growing up on the North Shore, he learned the business alongside his father, Michael, at their family brokerage and property management company. After a short stint at college 15 years ago, he went directly into real estate, and four years ago he partnered with COMPASS to expand their presence in the Greater Boston area and elevate their level of client reach.

Foley Group has a 360-degree view of the many roles involved in real estate so they can serve a variety of client needs. One day Foley may be listing a home for sale, another he may be representing an investor or a first-time homebuyer, and yet another he may be consulting with a landlord whose portfolio he manages.

Clients who work with him often express gratitude and surprise for how stress-free Foley made the real estate process for them, particularly those who own investment properties in Boston but don’t reside there. For those clients, that process is often a multistep journey of identifying and acquiring the property and then leasing it, managing it and eventually even listing it for sale down the road. A bonus is that he gets to know the tenants of those properties. “We love introducing great and talented people to Boston and seeing them grow into first-time homebuyers and long-term residents of our city,” Foley says.

With two agents and an administrative professional on the team, the group’s clients are well covered. “Our clients know they are in good hands with anyone on the team,” Foley shares.

An avid golfer, Foley loves traveling New England and around the country to take on different courses, and also completed the 2022 Boston Marathon, fundraising for the Boston Bruins Foundation. The newlywed is married to team member Haley and has two golden retrievers.
