Career Summary
Matt Lyman is a Portland commercial real estate broker and Vice President of Commercial Properties at Norris & Stevens. For more than 17 years he has advised owner-users, private investors, and growing businesses on industrial, flex, and office property across Oregon and Southwest Washington — combining owner-user and investment sales with hands-on tenant representation.
His practice centers on the small-balance, owner-user segment the national firms overlook: leasing and selling industrial and flex buildings, and guiding tenants through renewals, relocations, expansions, and site selection. Assignments range from private companies to multi-state office leases for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A four-time CoStar Power Broker (2021-2024) and a licensed Principal Broker in both Oregon and Washington, Matt holds a B.A. in Finance and Investments from Washington College and is an Eagle Scout.
Coverage spans the full Portland metro — the Columbia Corridor, Airport Way, Central Eastside, the 217 Corridor, Clackamas, and Hillsboro / Sunset Corridor — plus Southwest Washington and the I-5 corridor from Salem to Spokane.
