The Sharman Team | 49 Years of Real Estate Experience in WNY

Community First, Results Always—

That is the guiding principle behind The Sharman Team. Founded by team leader, Matthew Sharman, our real estate practice blends nearly 50 years of on-the-ground expertise with cutting-edge marketing and negotiation strategies. From lakefront properties on Conesus Lake to historic homes in Livingston County, we serve buyers and sellers throughout Western NY (WNY), Greater Rochester, and the Finger Lakes (FLX) region.

Our Mission: Everyone Wins

We believe in more than just transactions—we believe in community. Our philosophy of everyone wins means each client, neighbor, and local cause benefits when we succeed. As the only local proud affiliate of Homes for Heroes, we give back to the heroes in our community, including military, first responders, healthcare workers, and teachers. Plus, we support local organizations of our client’s choice by donating a portion of our commissions from every single deal, ensuring our neighborhoods grow stronger with every property we help buy or sell.
