Hi, I’m Matthew Rathbun—a real estate geek, national speaker, and self-declared “worst student ever.” Why? Because I’ve sat in enough boring classes to know exactly what not to do. I believe learning should be fun, practical, and a little bit unexpected.
I travel the country helping agents rethink what’s possible in this business. My sessions are packed with real-world strategies, a healthy dose of humor, and the latest tools and tech that actually make life easier. I’m a broker licensed in Virginia, Maryland, and DC, and I serve as the Executive Vice President of Coldwell Banker Elite, where I get to mentor over 250 amazing agents and staff every day.
Over the years, I’ve picked up some pretty cool awards—national, state, and local Instructor of the Year honors, and even REALTOR® of the Year. But what really drives me is helping agents grow their businesses without losing their minds (or their weekends). Whether you’re new to real estate or a seasoned pro, my goal is to make every class worth your time—and maybe even make you laugh a little along the way.
