Jason Matt, of Plymouth’s superstar Knight/Matt team
Professional History
After graduating college, I went into sales for a large supplier to the automotive industry and after that moved into the telecommunications field as a project manager. In 2000, I started my career in real estate as a buyers agent for a top team within Coldwell Banker Schweitzer. I was a buyers agent for a few years before I ventured out on my own to eventually start the Jason Matt Team, now partnering with Chris Knight as the “Knight/Matt Team” for Coldwell Banker Weir Manuel.
Business Philosophy
“Those who do not have goals are doomed forever to work for those who do.”
Personal History
I grew up in Allen Park and have lived in Michigan my entire life. I have been married 14 years to my wife, Jaime, and reside in the Township of Canton with my two sons, Landen and Beckham.
Last Book Read
“Getting Back to Even,” by Jim Cramer. I have a love of investing and usually try to read as many books as I can on the subject as well as what has become a great “second income” for me…options trading.
Last Movie Seen
“Friends with Benefits”… I try to go on a “date night” with my wife Jaime every Friday.
Hobbies
Boating, boating and more boating…I have a 34’ SeaRay Sundancer that we keep at MacRay Harbor on Anchor Bay (Lake Saint Clair). I also love to go to see live concerts. If you are on Facebook, you will notice as I am “checking in” at The Palace or DTE on a weekly basis!
Someone I would like to be on a desert island with:
Since I am not allowed to choose my wife, Jaime, who would definitely be my pick, I would have to say Jim Cramer, host of CNBC’s “Mad Money.”
