Helping You Achieve Your Real Estate Goals In Chicago

Meet Matt Ayo

Hi, I’m Matt Ayo, a Compass real estate agent on the Ben Lalez Team, here in Chicago. Since 2020, I’ve had the privilege of closing hundreds of deals and helping my clients navigate property transactions worth millions. It’s been an incredible journey, and I’m proud to have been recognized with the ‘Top Producer Award’ from the Chicago Association of Realtors multiple years in a row. I’m passionate about providing personalized service and making the process as smooth as possible for my clients and as a homeowner myself, I understand all of the challenges my first-time buyer clients face which allows for me to simplify their experience and make the journey to homeownership seamless. Whether you're buying or selling, I’m here to help you succeed in this competitive Chicagoland market!

When I’m not practicing real estate you can find me hanging out with my dogs, at my daughter’s softball games, playing drums in my basement, hunting for rare 90s graphic tees and retro video games, playing a quick 9 holes of golf, or trying out a new Chicagoland restaurant with my wife.

Real Estate Services

I specialize in assisting first-time home buyers and sellers in the greater Chicagoland area and can also help you build a plan for value-add investment properties.

Buying Assistance

I guide first-time home buyers through the entire purchase process, connecting you with every resource like mortgage lenders, attorneys, along the way.

Selling Expertise

I provide expert advice and strategies to sell your property quickly and at the best price. My deep network of clients allows for this to be expedited.

I am a first time home buyer and Matt made the whole process super easy. Matt also had a preferred lender, attorneys, and inspector taken care of. He offered a complete solution to getting to the closing table.

A lot of people told me this was going to be a stressful time, and Matt made sure it wasn’t and took care of everything in order to make it to closing on time.

Matt did an excellent job helping my uncle find the perfect duplex for him and my cousin! I’m a Realtor myself but don’t work in the area, and I chose Matt to help my family, after extensive research,

based on his professionalism, expertise, and experience. He was patient, tenacious, and knowledgeable and followed through to find them a fantastic property at a good price.
