Meet Matt – Broker at Cross Street.
Prior to Real Estate, Matt was involved in many industries – from touring with Nationally acclaimed music groups as an audio engineer and stage manager, to working in leadership roles at Apple and a large tech-based Logistics firm, Matt brings years of transferable experience to his current role as a real estate advisor that allows for him to quickly connect the dots for his clients as they navigate the sometimes challenging and competitive Chicagoland real estate market.
As a dedicated and full-time real estate advisor, Matt prides himself on his relentless work ethic and commitment to excellence. Matt’s goal is to not only meet the expectations of his clients, but to exceed them by leveraging his extensive market knowledge and proven strategies, and educating his clients to help them make the best decision to move forward.
“I am determined to outwork and outperform every agent in the city, ensuring that I am always one step ahead in this competitive industry. My goal is to always be educating my clients along the way rather than just be a door opener. I believe this is paramount when deciding what agent you want to spend your hard earned money with.”
Whether it’s conducting thorough market analysis, hosting engaging open houses, or negotiating the best deals, Matt’s focus remains on achieving outstanding results for his clients. When you work with Matt, you can expect unparalleled service, unwavering dedication, and a genuine passion for helping you find your dream home or sell your property at the right price.
Matt’s knowledge is focused primarily on residential real estate sales in River North, Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, Logan Square, Ravenswood, Lincoln Square, North Center and his new home 20 minutes from downtown, Oak Park. Whether you’re considering a condo in River North as your first home purchase, or your family is ready for more square footage and you’re ready for a move just outside the city, Matt is your go-to for both occasions.
Matt Ayo was my agent and did an outstanding job of helping me find the right place. What stood out was how well he listened and picked up quickly on what I was/was not looking for. No pressure, ever, and his guidance with the terms of the lease was outstanding. Highly recommended. -WC Seibert

This review is for our agent, Matt Ayo. He was essential to helping us transition as cleanly as possible into our new home. He was responsive at all times of the day, empathetic to our concerns, accommodating during the pandemic, and cheerful and funny to boot. Thank you, Matt!

Matt was great to work with. He had great communication and was easy to work with. He was also knowledgeable about the property being shown. Matt also followed up on moving day to see how things were going. I\’d recommend him to anyone looking for a new place to call home.

Matt is a very knowledgeable professional that does not beat around the bush. He is very honest from the get-go about taking this approach, and I admire that. He was very responsive no matter what time of the day or night you reach out to him. I would highly recommend him for your next home purchase, and even if you need assistance renting out your unit. Jack of all trades some may call him! Thanks for everything Matt!

Matt, was the best agent I had worked with out of 8 agents. He was the only one that was down to earth and willing to help at a moments notice. He was extremely responsive throughout the process. If you need an agent to help you find a rental in Chicago, Matt Ayo is the one to contact!

I tried and tried to get a hold of somebody at Millennium on LaSalle. I even went to the management office to see how I could get a tour scheduled – but finally, Matt came to the rescue! He truly is an agent who cares and listens to the needs of his clients. I was struggling to find a place that one of our company executives would love, and Matt was able to get things done efficiently and honestly, all while being available around to clock to facilitate any questions or concerns I had – huge relief for me! I would recommend Matt to anyone looking for a great Real Estate broker they can trust in Chicago!!

Matt listed our home and we had an offer that we accepted within 3 weeks. This was a feat as there were 15 other units in our building that were on the market! Matt built us a strategy to get the most eyes on our listing and helped us stand out above all the rest. Forever grateful to Matt for his assistance and my family and I are loving our new home as well!!
