Lynn Matheron

Raised in eastern North Carolina, Lynn attended UNC Chapel Hill and then ventured off to live and work in 5 foreign countries over the span of about 20 years. While living in Europe, she received her MBA from Durham University in the UK.

Lynn has advised many private investors in residential & commercial real estate purchases. Her fluency in French and German were an attribute while working in Europe. Her work experiences took her to Austria, Switzerland, France, Greece, New Zealand and Argentina; ultimately settled in the French Alps where she represented many high-net-worth investors in residential and commercial real estate.

Upon returning to the USA with her family in 2000, Lynn continued her connections with Europe and worked for FERI (one of the largest private wealth management firms in Germany) for two years. After being approached by a group of Belgian investors, Lynn helped them seek and identify income-producing investments throughout the USA and in the UK. She finally decided to spend more time with family in North Carolina and travel less so she created her own commercial real estate firm. Delivering excellent customer service and surpassing expectations have always been top priority in all of Lynn's previous roles.

Now residing in Wilmington, time outdoors and on the water are some of Lynn's favorite pastimes, as well as, enjoying two of her daughters who live close by.
