About Matthew
A resident of Southern California for most of his life, Matt Berkley is a REALTOR® who makes representing historic and architecturally significant properties his primary focus. Since obtaining his real estate license in 2001, he, along with his firm, has represented works by architects such as Charles and Henry Greene, Richard Neutra, Paul Williams, and Frederick Roehrig. Matt understands the complexity of selling historic and architectural homes. He believes in strategic marketing to global audiences who appreciate fine design. His firm’s strong commitment to print media and long-standing relationships with countless online media sources throughout the world allow his clients to receive global exposure in the marketing of their properties.
Matt attended Boston University and California State University, Long Beach. He is an Architectural Historian holding undergraduate and graduate degrees in United States and Modern European History. His fields are the built environment, politics of space, the growth and development of California regional vernacular architecture, and the relationship between the changing landscape of California through suburbanization and its effects on the natural environment. His education, coupled with nearly twenty-five years representing sellers and buyers of architectural and historic properties, provides him a distinct advantage in marketing to an audience that understands and respects the significance of the properties he represents.
Matt is a past Trustee with the California Preservation Foundation and a past Board member of Pasadena Heritage and has served on the Board of Directors of the Pasadena Foothills Association of REALTORS© and has chaired their Historic Preservation Committee.
In addition to his involvement in the real estate and preservation communities, Matt is an active member of All Saints Church, Pasadena, and has been singing with Coventry Choir since 1992.

There he joined more than one thousand fellow musicians for the performance. Past organizations he has performed with have been the Claremont Chorale and Citrus College Singers. He has been a featured tenor soloist in Germany, Russia, Finland, Poland, Lithuania, and the Czech Republic.
