In 2017, he founded an investment club to bring investors together to share successful strategies and avoid common pitfalls.
Mattias’s impressive career includes being named a top REALTOR® by Virginia Living Magazine and a Top Agent in America by HomeLight. He has served on the Board of Directors for the Harrisonburg Rockingham Association of Realtors, including as Vice President and President, demonstrating his commitment to leadership and community service.
In addition to his sales success, Mattias has built a diverse investment portfolio worth over $3 million, including single-family homes and mobile homes, and has flipped several million dollars’ worth of properties.
