Stew Weston and Rosie Cooper

LOS ANGELES — Matthews Real Estate Investment Services™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, welcomes esteemed investment sales agents Stewart Weston as Executive Vice President, Rosie Cooper as Executive Vice President, and Fortino Reyes as Sales Operations Manager.

Weston and Cooper bring decades of institutional experience in Southern California, with a specialized focus on existing multifamily sales, land sales, and residential ground-up development advisory, both multifamily and single-family. Over their careers, they have executed $13.4 billion in sales across 888 transactions, comprising 73,000 units. In addition, between 2019 and 2024, they executed $600 million in residential land sales, comprising 9,000 proposed units and 210 developable acres. This included some of the market’s most notable multifamily and for-sale, single-family residential developments.

Weston, based in Orange County, CA, joins Matthews™ from CBRE, where he served as an Executive Vice President in the Capital Markets group. Prior to CBRE, Weston spent 25 years at Institutional Property Advisors / Marcus and Millichap. With three decades of experience in multifamily brokerage, Weston is known for his meticulous approach to sizing up a property, uncovering hidden potential, and crafting innovative strategies that maximize asset value.

“From the moment we met Matthews™ leadership, we were struck by their passionate culture, strategic vision, and commitment to empowering agents with leading-edge technology and data,” Weston said. “Matthews’ AI-driven platform is a decade in the making and offers state-of-the-art technology to drive better client engagement.”

Cooper, based in San Diego, CA, also joins Matthews™ from CBRE. A civil and environmental engineer, Cooper leverages her more than two decades of experience in development and construction to identify land opportunities for both multifamily and single-family institutional developers seeking ground-up opportunities. Prior to CBRE, Cooper managed JPI’s $1.9 billion multifamily development portfolio in the Western U.S., overseeing site selection, development, design management, construction, asset management and capital markets, through disposition.

“The collaborative culture at Matthews™ is outstanding,” Cooper said. “The firm’s intensive training, processes, and protocols are all designed to ensure clients have the most capable deal teams working on their behalf. With California’s evolving land use and rezoning, many property owners don’t realize the development potential of their holdings. We look forward to working shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of dedicated agents in Southern California to connect with owners and provide the institutional knowledge and advanced strategies to help unlock and maximize hidden opportunities.”

A multifamily marketing expert, Reyes also joins Matthews from CBRE, where he served as Investment Sales Director.

Weston, Cooper, and Reyes looked to make the move to Matthews™ after considering the best avenue to enhance client services and expand their business not only in Southern CA, but throughout the Southwest.

“Matthews™ unique shared services platform, combined with the strength of an enthusiastic national team, will position us to focus our time and energy on what matters most — our clients,” Weston said. “Southern California, our home base, will continue to be a major part of our business. But we also hope to expand our regional and national presence to build our network and bring even more high-quality investors to the table. The capabilities are endless when you have a national system of support behind you.”

Matthews™ recently exceeded $62 billion in all-time sales volume and continues to strategically invest in the build-out of service lines, recruiting major players across all asset classes.

“To earn market share in a prestigious and competitive landscape such as institutional multifamily sales and residential ground-up development opportunities, you need to leverage reputable and productive agents who can execute at the highest level,” President David Harrington said. “Stew, Rosie, and Fortino are strategic leaders in their field, with value-driven partnerships and the inherent ability to win key clients.”
