Matthew Magrone is a Senior Account Executive and Founding Partner at Ocean View Funding Group where he works in real estate financing.
Real estate financing has always been a calling for Matthew. After spending five years working in academia, he is back again with the grand re-opening of Ocean View Funding Group, which he originally founded in 2012 to provide a personalized, creative real estate related financing through private equity and banking resources for mostly real estate and small business-related projects.
Matthew Magrone has been working in real estate financing since he graduated from college and moved from New York to Florida. It was here that he began purchasing rental properties at such a rate that it quickly made sense for him to start his own company in the field. In 2003, Matthew founded his new real estate financing business, Empire Holdings, LLC, in Naples where he took charge running all of the financing for the business. He soon realized that while he might not be the handiest guy, he was fascinated by the the financial aspects of running a business. It was here that he began developing his passion for real estate financing and honing it into his future career.
For Matthew Magrone, the most exhilarating part of working in real estate financing is the ability to help an individual arrange a concept of solutions for the problems they’ll encounter from start to finish. He started working with individual borrowers on the residential side of real estate, and he now handles projects both large and small, residential or commercial, anywhere from working with people to help them procure a mortgage to working on the development of multi-family homes, office complexes, hotels, and all income producing properties.
Matthew Magrone seeks to distinguish himself from the competition through his personal touch and accessibility. He wants to open himself as a resource to his clients and have them see him as a lifeline they can reach whenever they need him, even weekends, offering more accessibility and personability to his clients in a way retail lenders likely would not. He also sees his role as being a liaison between the little guy – his clients – and the big guy – the bank.
Moving forward, Matthew Magrone wants to capitalize on the success he’s seen and the skills he’s acquired to expand his footprint into new markets. Alongside Florida, he’s looking to open new locations in Boston and Alabama and start growing the footprint of the business while helping people understand how lucrative of an investment real estate can be. With each market so unique and different, he wants to ensure he’s got a knowledgeable, well-equipped team to help him grow.
