Mathew Rathbun: Elevating Real Estate in Fredericksburg

Meet Mathew Rathbun: Elevating Real Estate in Fredericksburg | Real Estate Excellence Podcast

Welcome to another feature on the Real Estate Excellence Podcast. I’m Tracy Hayes, and in Episode 171, I had the privilege of sitting down with one of the most knowledgeable and inspiring real estate minds in the country—Mathew Rathbun. He’s the Executive Vice President of Coldwell Banker Elite in Fredericksburg, VA, and a force in shaping the future of real estate through education and leadership.

Why Mathew Rathbun Stands Out in Fredericksburg Real Estate

Mathew is a powerhouse. Not just because of his titles—President-Elect at the Fredericksburg Area Association of Realtors, President at REBI, and leader at Central Virginia Housing—but because he walks the walk. He’s a passionate educator, national speaker, and content creator who dives deep into tech, AI, and the evolution of real estate practices. If you’re looking for a Fredericksburg real estate agent or brokerage leader who truly gets the future, Mathew is it.

Host Insight: What Impressed Me Most

Mathew doesn’t just show up—he pours in. His depth of knowledge, dedication to the industry, and authentic passion for helping agents level up blew me away. He’s not afraid to challenge outdated practices and embraces what’s next, especially in areas like AI and video marketing. I genuinely can’t wait to bring him back for another episode.
