From the time he was young, Matthew Maggipinto was enamored with real estate. What started as a side job during college turned into a staff job, career, and eventual entrepreneurial venture.
Matthew has worked in real estate and construction for over a decade as a licensed agent and property manager, gaining invaluable and varied experience in the field. Career highlights include managing a multilingual crew of 30 CertaPro Painters to standardize 600 Stuyvesant Town apartments within a year. Matthew also served as C&A Seneca Construction’s project manager responsible for takeoffs — an industry term that refers to the calculation and procurement of all required building materials — for the F&B projects in the Moxy NYC Chelsea and Times Square hotels.
Since founding Fides Property Management in 2018, Matthew has grown the company’s portfolio of small co-ops, condos, and rentals to twelve buildings across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. His services are also provided to individual investment apartments. He personally drove almost 30,000 miles last year, ensuring that everything was running smoothly and that his stable of trusted vendors were following the latest NYC DOB guidelines and coop and condo alteration standards. His philosophy is one of transparency and technology where his seamless resident portals allow homeowners to submit maintenance requests, pay bills, arrange for sublets, and locate tax documents with ease.
Born and raised in Baldwin, New York, Matthew attended Chaminade High School and Boston University. Though he parlayed his political science degree into a role at the Albright Stonebridge Group, a global business strategy firm founded by the late former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, he later embraced his earlier passion for real estate. As a young boy, he would tag along with his parents when they attended open houses in Long island, Florida, and Lake George.
Matthew bears a striking resemblance to his retired actress mother Lori Shelle, most famous for her role in Goodbye, Columbus. An avid golfer in his spare time, he lives in Manhattan with his wife and two inseparable Scottish Straight cats —Mochi and Tigger.
