MARIN, CA - Paragon Real Estate Group has taken the next step in serving the North Bay community with the promotion of Matt Hughes to Sales Manager of Marin.
A San Anselmo resident, Matt brings with him a wealth of Marin-specific expertise as well as a passion for the area’s unique quality of life. A real estate sales veteran with more than a decade of successful transactions, Matt first joined Paragon as an assistant manager in early 2016, quickly proving himself a committed, professional, and dedicated team member.
“Paragon’s management team prides itself on its forward thinking — and with good reason,” he said. “We continuously work to support agents in achieving their personal and sales goals, creating a collaborative culture that in turn attracts top agents to our Marin office.” 
Matt’s background emphasizes leadership and local know-how, the epitome of a rising star in the Marin real estate world. A longtime member of the Marin Association of Realtors, he has held seats on nearly every committee and ultimately served as president in 2015. He’s also honed his industry expertise as director of the California Association of Realtors.
Additionally, his connection with Marin County reaches beyond the professional into the personal. An active community member and parent of public-school children, Matt can be found cycling, paddleboarding, and enjoying Marin’s rich and active lifestyle.
“Matt is an innovative, tech-savvy professional and thoughtful leader,” Paragon Real Estate Group chief executive officer Robert Dadurka said. “Not only is he the ideal choice to lead our Marin operations, but also a welcome addition to our management team as a whole.”
Matt will be assisted by general manager and counsel Dierk Herbermann; a fellow Marin resident whose management and legal experience positions him to help spearhead this next phase of Paragon’s growth.
“Real estate is the ultimate team sport,” Dierk said. “I thrive on working with agents to grow and build their business.”
Paragon first came to life in San Francisco, with Marin County a natural path of planned growth to better serve our clientele. Today Paragon is 36 agents strong and the fastest growing brokerage in Marin County.
“Serving the needs of our clients means keeping Marin top of mind,” Robert said. “With our planned expansion in our key markets, our clientele can continue to expect seamless service whether they choose to overlook the water in Sausalito, appreciate Mt. Tam in Mill Valley, or enjoy the peace of the Napa-Sonoma Wine Country.”
