Meet Matt Cooper
Richmond Area Realtor® | Long & Foster Real Estate
Helping buyers, sellers, and families confidently navigate the Richmond, Virginia real estate market through education, communication, and personalized service.
Introduction
Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions most people will ever make. My goal is simple: provide honest guidance, local expertise, and a client-first approach that helps you make confident decisions every step of the way.
As a Realtor® with Long & Foster Real Estate, I proudly serve buyers, sellers, first-time homeowners, move-up buyers, downsizers, and relocating families throughout Richmond and the surrounding communities, including Henrico, Hanover, Chesterfield, Powhatan, and Goochland counties.
Before beginning my career in real estate, I spent 25 years working in professional NASCAR as a motorcoach operator and personal assistant, traveling throughout the United States and experiencing communities of every size along the way. Those experiences gave me a unique perspective on relocation, career transitions, and the importance of finding a place that truly feels like home. Today, I use that experience to help individuals and families confidently navigate their move to the Richmond region.
I believe real estate is not about sales—it is about service. My role is to educate, advise, advocate, and negotiate on behalf of my clients while helping them achieve their real estate goals.
Why I Became a Realtor
The best Realtors are problem-solvers, educators, and trusted advisors.
I entered real estate because I enjoy helping people navigate important life decisions and providing the information they need to move forward with confidence. Whether it's helping a first-time buyer understand the process, guiding a family through a relocation, or assisting a homeowner in maximizing their home's value before selling, I enjoy building relationships and creating successful outcomes.

Attending local events
Following motorsports and NASCAR
Working on technology and game-development projects

Discovering new places throughout Virginia
These interests help me stay connected to the communities I serve and give me a broader perspective when helping clients find not just a house—but a place to call home.
