A native Ohioan, born in Athens and raised in the region, Matt Ray proudly serves the needs of his fellow Ohioans as a full-time Realtor and Principle Broker/Owner of Sherlock Homes Realty.

Matt has worked as a Realtor since 2013 and has worked in real estate-related industries since 1993. Over the years, Matt has worn many hats in the real estate industry and has spent time working as an exterior and interior house painter, a carpenter, and an HVAC air balance technician to name a few. Matt established Sherlock Homes Realty on January 1, 2020 with the goal of providing consumers in south and southeastern Ohio with an alternative to the traditional real estate brokerage.

Matt holds associate and bachelor’s degrees from the University of Rio Grande, a master’s degree from Marshall University, and pre-engineering graphics certification from Buckeye Hills Career Center where he learned to read and draw blueprints.

Matt remembers drawing floorplans for fun when he was seven years old after his Mom brought home a sample drawing for a log cabin kit, and he has been interested in real estate and related industries ever since.

Matt is also a husband and father and enjoys DIY projects and playing guitar in his spare time.
