Matt McMenamin

Matt McMenamin is originally from Ann Arbor, Michigan, and has called Austin home since 2008. Before entering real estate, he worked as a sous chef, bartender, poster artist, and consultant—roles that sharpened his creativity, adaptability, and people skills. His deep appreciation for Austin’s energy, creativity, and authenticity is what continues to inspire him to build his life and career here.

Matt began his real estate career during the uncertainty of the pandemic. What started as a leap of faith quickly became a lasting passion. Known for his straightforward, no-gimmick approach, Matt prides himself on being honest, direct, and results-driven. Clients appreciate his ability to simplify the process, handle the details, and keep the focus where it belongs: on their goals. His combination of professionalism and authenticity ensures that people feel supported every step of the way.

At home, Matt and his wife, Dinorah, share life with their eight cats. Music is another central part of his life—he has played in bands, collected records, and even produced concert posters. In his free time, he enjoys playing guitar, traveling, exploring Austin’s food and arts scene, and spending time with family. For Matt, balance comes from blending his professional dedication with the passions that make life meaningful.

Why is it important to you to partner with a local brokerage?

I didn’t get into real estate to chase a brand name—I did it to take care of people. Partnering with a local brokerage gives me the resources and support I need without all the corporate red tape. It allows me to stay true to my style: honest, straightforward, and focused on results. At the end of the day, I’d rather work with a brokerage that’s invested in the community and my clients’ success than one that’s more concerned with image than impact.

What’s your favorite local spot and why?

Casino El Camino will always be my go-to spot. From the jukebox to the legendary burgers, the place holds that old Austin feel that first drew me to the city. It’s authentic, unpretentious, and has stayed true to itself—qualities I really value.

Is there a local cause that is important to you?

Two causes close to my heart are substance abuse recovery and animal welfare. I’ve been sober for a number of years, and giving back to others who are fighting for better lives is deeply meaningful to me. My wife and I also share a love for animals—we have a house full of cats—and we care deeply about local rescue and adoption efforts. For me, both are about the same thing: giving people and animals the chance to thrive.
