Matt Mellott, CCIM, SIOR, is the Managing Partner and a Commercial Real Estate Advisor at Sterling Commercial Real Estate. With a career rooted in precision and discipline, Matt brings unparalleled expertise to Montana’s commercial real estate market. A former tactical pilot in the United States Marine Corps, Matt’s military background has imbued him with a relentless focus on execution and strategy—skills he has seamlessly transferred to the commercial real estate industry.
Matt’s vision for SterlingCRE has driven the firm’s rapid growth since its inception in 2017. Starting with a two-person team, SterlingCRE has become one of the premier commercial real estate firms in Montana, executing hundreds of successful transactions across office, retail, multifamily, industrial, and land asset classes. His national-level experience in property analysis, investment structuring, and market forecasting, combined with local market insights, ensures that SterlingCRE clients receive exceptional service and results.
Recognized as a thought leader in the commercial real estate community, Matt holds both the CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) and SIOR (Society of Industrial and Office Realtors) designations—two of the highest endorsements in the industry. He is a trusted advisor, known for his data-driven approach, which allows clients to make informed, confident decisions in a competitive market.
In addition to leading SterlingCRE, Matt is deeply engaged in civic leadership. He is a Montana Ambassador, a Leadership Montana graduate, and has served the Missoula Downtown Association for over seven years—now holding the role of Vice President of Marketing following a long-standing tenure on its Board of Directors. Beyond the office, Matt is a dedicated husband and father, balancing his professional success with the same energy and precision that guided him as a Marine Corps pilot.
Though Matt’s focus is unwavering in the world of commercial real estate, he’s equally committed to his morning coffee routine—crafted with the same precision that once guided his flights. Outside of work, Matt enjoys Montana’s great outdoors with his six children and wife, Danielle, while always on the lookout for the perfect taco spot to rival his all-time favorite—Alejandro’s.
