About Matthew

Matthew Sodel has spent more than 20 years navigating Florida real estate, and he built his practice around one idea: buyers and sellers deserve an advisor, not just someone who opens doors. As a Jacksonville Realtor and St. Johns County Realtor with Highlight Realty, Matthew works with both new construction and resale buyers throughout Nocatee, SilverLeaf, RiverTown, Julington Creek, and Ponte Vedra, along with sellers and investors across the region. His approach is simple: educate first, negotiate hard, and protect the client's interests at every step. Before you sign anything, Matthew makes sure you understand builder incentives, lot value, contract terms, resale potential, financing options, and how today's decision affects your finances years from now. He's especially known for guiding South Florida and corporate relocation clients through unfamiliar markets with calm, honest, no-pressure advice. As a buyer's agent working extensively in new construction, Matthew negotiates directly with builder representatives on his clients' behalf, helping them understand lot selection, upgrade value, and long-term resale potential before they sign. As a listing agent, he helps sellers price strategically and negotiate offers with a clear understanding of market timing and buyer psychology. Whether you're buying your first home, moving up, relocating from out of state, or selling a property you've outgrown, Matthew brings two decades of market knowledge and a straightforward negotiating style that puts your outcome first. His guiding principle: he negotiates for his clients, not for the builder and not for the other side of the table.

I am new to the area I moved to recently, not knowing anyone

I am new to the area I moved to recently, not knowing anyone. Matt Sodel was recommend to me and he was very helpful and knowledgable. I love my new apartment and the area it's in. He also went out of his way to help me when my Jeep broke down and made sure I was taken care of. I would highly recommend him for any realtor needs. He is great!

This is our first house, so we came into this process not knowing anything about how it works

This is our first house, so we came into this process not knowing anything about how it works. All we had was a list of properties that we wanted to look at. Matt just took the reins and walked us through the whole thing. During the process, I had changed our requirements but he helped us stay focused on our budget and needs, which I found very honest and loyal. He took us to the houses that we wanted to see, he found houses for us that we didn’t know about. He told us very explicitly what was wrong with some of the houses that we were sort of interested in. He was fun, helpful, and supportive. Thank you so much Matt for helping us find our first house and making the entire process go smoothly!!

Hands down

Hands down.....having Matt as my realtor was the best decision I ever made! I anticipated this process to be stressful but instead it was STRESSLESS. After interviewing 2 other local realtors (& getting an instant uneasy feeling), the decision to pick Matt was made with no hesitation. Matt made my needs his top priority & responded to any calls/emails quickly. Matt also ensured there was NO lock box (very important to me as I had a dog) & was there when I had a question or concern. The house was listed, shown 12x, & was under contract within 40 days! Matt was great & someone who I would highly recommend.

I am moving to Delray in June and visited to check out the sights and look for an area that I'd like

I am moving to Delray in June and visited to check out the sights and look for an area that I'd like to live in. I quickly realized I didn't have a clue as to where I should be looking. Matt took several hours to show me around the best places in town and I couldn't be more excited about choosing a place to live. After getting settled in Delray, I look forward using Matt's services to buy a home. Thanks Matt!

Matt Sodel comes highly recommended by myself

Matt Sodel comes highly recommended by myself. Too many times I have dealt with Realtors that simply do not listen to your needs or they do not know the area well enough to find what your looking for. Sodel hit the nail on the head immediately. Sodel even helped us negotiate a better deal than what was offered.

I would recommend Matthew for any of your property search needs. He is punctual and informative when showing a property. He would be a great resource for anyone to utilize when renting or buying a home. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
