Conesus Lake Real Estate Leader Matthew Sharman Achieves Elite Agent Status at Real Brokerage

Matthew Sharman, team leader of The Sharman Team at Real Broker NY LLC, has been named an Elite Agent by Real Brokerage, a recognition that measures exceptional sales volume within a qualifying year. Unlike designations based on tenure or membership, this honor is strictly production-based, requiring agents to close a significant number of transactions. For consumers, this distinction translates into a clear signal: Sharman has been actively and successfully navigating the complexities of real estate transactions recently, not resting on past accomplishments.

Sharman's achievement is particularly relevant for buyers and sellers in the niche waterfront market of Conesus Lake and the western Finger Lakes. His team, which includes his father with five decades of local licensing, handles a high volume of deals in an area where inventory is limited and seasonal. This repeated transaction experience provides invaluable familiarity with unique challenges such as frontage measurement, shared-access agreements, and appraisal gaps on properties with few comparable sales. These details often determine whether a lake property maintains its value, making Sharman's recent, hands-on experience a critical asset for his clients.

In a statement, Sharman emphasized the importance of earned recognition over titles alone. "Clients should never choose an agent because of a title alone. What matters is what the agent had to do to earn it," he said. "Reaching Elite reflects sustained, current experience across a large number of transactions, and every one of those experiences makes us better prepared to protect the next client when something unexpected happens."

The Elite Agent Program at Real offers two qualification paths: either reaching the company's full annual cap of $12,000 and then generating an additional $6,000 in post-cap transaction fees, or achieving $500,000 in gross commission income across at least 10 completed transactions of $1 million or more. Sharman qualified in August 2026 under the first route, following approximately 70 transaction sides over the preceding twelve months, evenly split between buyers and sellers. Because Real's cap is the maximum the brokerage collects from an agent in a year, surpassing it indicates extraordinary volume.

Earlier in 2026, Sharman was also named RateMyAgent Agent of the Year for both Livingston County and Conesus Lake, and ranked among the Top 10 Agents in New York State. These accolades, combined with the Elite Agent designation, reinforce his standing as a top performer in the region. For those considering a real estate transaction on Conesus Lake or nearby, Sharman's production-based achievements offer a reliable indicator of his capability to handle the intricacies of lakefront deals, ensuring clients receive guidance grounded in recent, successful outcomes.
