Matt Bear founded Bear Real Estate Advisors, LLC in 2018 with one goal – to cater to investors looking for personalized service and real world, battle-tested acquisition and disposition advice. He built the firm on a foundation of genuine sincerity and partnership to foster lifelong friendships that promote personal and financial growth for all.

Before founding Bear, Matt was one of two founding partners of Venture Development Group, which specialized in the development of single-tenant buildings, as well as neighborhood and power center projects. The firm acquired, developed and/or disposed of 20 properties totaling $55 million. He led a team of 18 professionals across three regional offices that encompassed development, finance, property management and legal management. Matt was directly responsible for the development and execution of the firm’s investment and development strategies, while leading all aspects of acquisitions, dispositions, and leasing of commercial real estate assets.

A real estate and finance business leader with a rich history of over 30 years of transactional, development and advisory experience, including 10 years of principal investing and retail real estate development, Matt’s experience spans the nation, with clients both domestic and international, and key business relationships across the real estate, finance, and private equity sectors.

Matt is an avid reader, a frequent blogger, a formerly good golfer, and an aspiring guitar player. He and his wife, Kelly, have been married for more than 25 years and are the proud parents of two beautiful, smart girls – one, a Berklee College of Music graduate with a major in songwriting, and the other attending Pepperdine University looking to write and act in a future blockbuster movie.
