Brown Harris Stevens is pleased to announce that Matthew Cohen, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson, has been selected as a RISMedia 2021 Real Estate Newsmaker—a dynamic group of key influencers making headlines as a result of their newsworthy contributions to the real estate industry, and their efforts to positively affect the consumers and communities they serve.

RISMedia’s 2021 Real Estate Newsmakers were nominated in 2020 by RISMedia readers and editors and are showcased in the following categories: Influencers, Trailblazers, Futurists, Achievers, Crusaders, Inspirations, Luminaries and Trendsetters.

Aptly acknowledged within the Achievers category, Cohen is consistently ranked amongst the top brokers in the business. He was recognized as one of the youngest real estate brokers in New York City to surpass $100 million and is steadily approaching half a billion. His expertise spans across every borough of New York City with deep specialty in resales, new development marketing, and rentals.

Cohen received the coveted Crain’s Rising Star honor in 2020 and has earned his place within the esteemed ranks of the nation’s top 350 by sales volume in the U.S. by the Wall Street Journal/REAL Trends’ The Thousand List. He is also a frequent panelist on a global real estate radio show that focuses on a variety of topics on how real estate ties into the many areas in our financial markets and personal lives. Cohen furthers his commitment to the industry by volunteering his time to mentor up-and-coming agents and participating in his Brown Harris Stevens’s acclaimed continuing education program.

A graduate of Muhlenberg College, Cohen started his career in investment banking before entering real estate.

"Every year, we're amazed by the incredible ingenuity and success of members in the real estate community, ranging from the glass ceilings being shattered by industry leaders, to the creativity and innovation being implemented at a record pace, and all the way to the wonderful charitable work being accomplished across the nation," said John Featherston, CEO, president and publisher of RISMedia.
