Matthew Pollard

As a Senior Brokerage Associate, my focus is on office and medical tenant representation, helping clients navigate the ever-changing commercial real estate market to maximize their employees’ productivity and shareholder value. 

As a former commercial banker, I understand the importance of investing the time to understand a client’s business, strategies and key objectives. Clients appreciate my trusted partnership in planning for long-term success. My experience is focused on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of businesses, driving the risk conversation and providing innovative solutions to solve customer’s problems throughout a company’s life cycle.

I was responsible for developing and managing commercial business banking relationships in accordance with the bank’s core values and strategic sales process in the central South Carolina region. In that role, I built and managed a portfolio with customers and prospects with over $10 million in revenue. I also have experience working as a commercial underwriter.
