About Matthew De Fede

I live in Oak Ridge, and I sell real estate across Northern New Jersey—from Nutley through Kinnelon and up to Jefferson Township.

That matters.

Because I do not just work these towns—I understand how people live in them.

For more than a decade, I have built one of Nutley’s top-performing real estate brokerages by combining local expertise, high-level marketing, and straight talk. My business was founded on one simple principle: sellers deserve strategy, not guesswork. Every home has a story, a buyer profile, and a price ceiling—and my job is to connect all three.

Living in Oak Ridge gives me firsthand insight into lifestyle-driven markets like Kinnelon and Jefferson, where buyers prioritize space, privacy, long-term value, and land considerations. Working daily in Nutley, Belleville, Clifton, and surrounding Essex towns keeps me immersed in fast-moving, commuter-driven markets where pricing and timing are everything.

Different towns. Different buyers. Different rules.

I am known for pricing accurately, marketing aggressively, and negotiating without emotion. I do not chase volume—I focus on outcomes. That approach has led to record-setting sales, repeat clients, and referrals across county lines.

If you are selling in Northern New Jersey and want clarity, leverage, and a plan that actually makes sense, you are in the right place.
