ABOUT COMMERCIAL AGENT Matt Mellott

He won't share this willingly, but Matt Mellott has a coffee routine that puts Starbucks to shame. Hand-roasted beans and a thrice-daily habit keep him in perpetual motion at the office.

This might not sync with those who know Matt's background as a tactical pilot in the Marine Corps and a no-frills commercial real estate (CRE) guy. But after 12 years of military service, including deployments with only MRE coffee available, he takes a good brew seriously.

The common thread is a relentlessly high standard of quality both in his work and his coffee. It's a standard that drives the success of Sterling Commercial Real Estate Advisors.
