A family business.Built on trust.

We’re Matt and Jennifer Schmidt, a husband-and-wife team building Liberty and Legacy Properties on the belief that real estate should be about more than transactions. It should be about honesty, relationships, and doing right by people.

The story behind the name

Our business is personal. So is our promise.

We’re taking the next step together as a family, creating a real estate business grounded in the values that guide our everyday lives. To us, a successful business is measured not only by what it accomplishes, but by how it treats people along the way.

We understand that selling a home can be connected to some of life’s most difficult decisions. A property may need repairs, an inherited house may come with new responsibilities, or a change in circumstances may mean it’s time for a fresh start.

We want to be the kind of people you can talk to openly—people who listen first, communicate clearly, and respect the decisions that are yours to make.

The people behind the business

Different backgrounds.
Shared values.

Our paths into real estate started in different professions, but both taught us the importance of showing up for people and following through.

Jennifer Schmidt

Co-Founder
A career of compassion and service.

For 21 years, Jennifer has served as a registered nurse at the Cleveland VA Medical Center. Her work has been centered on listening, caring for others, and helping people through moments when compassion and clarity matter most.

At Liberty and Legacy Properties, she brings that same people-first approach to conversations with homeowners. She believes everyone deserves to feel heard, informed, and respected as they consider what’s next.

Matt Schmidt

Co-Founder
Hard work. Practical solutions. Follow-through.

Matt brings 14 years of experience as a union electrician, where attention to detail, safety, problem-solving, and doing the job properly are essential. His career has reinforced the value of hard work and keeping your word.

He’s bringing that same mindset into real estate: approaching each property thoughtfully, being upfront about what is possible, and treating each conversation with care and integrity.

Two people. One family. A shared commitment to doing things the right way.

The foundation we’re building on

Honesty. Integrity.
Results.

These aren’t just words for a website. They’re the standards we want to bring to every relationship and every property conversation.

01 / HONESTY

Clear answers.

We believe in open conversations, realistic expectations, and explaining your options without unnecessary pressure.

02 / INTEGRITY

People first.

We believe trust is earned by treating people with fairness, respect, and the same consideration we’d want for our own family.

03 / RESULTS

Purposeful action.

When we’re able to help, our aim is a practical path forward with clear communication and a commitment to following through.

Residential homes in Northeast Ohio
Proud to serve Greater Cleveland

Homes are part of something bigger.

Every house is connected to a neighborhood, a family, and a story. We believe real estate can create opportunities for homeowners while contributing to the places we call home.

As we build Liberty and Legacy Properties, we’re focused on earning trust one conversation at a time, approaching properties with care, and building relationships throughout Greater Cleveland.

It’s about what we build together—and what we leave behind.
