His depth of experience, persistence and ability to come up with creative solutions to tough business problems made him one of the most effective executives I worked with at Hovnanian. He is personable, forthright and hard-working and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to bolster their land acquisition / residential real estate talent in New Jersey.” September 11, 2009

"I've worked with Matt on a number of development opportunities.  He understands what needs to be done, knows how to get it done and then does it.  He strives towards balanced solutions to the various challenges that
are synonymous  with development."

I've gotten to know Matt Sprung very well over the years and have worked with him on numerous issues; especially the land use debate over the New Jersey Highland. He has a deep commitment and a passion over land use and planning.  I find Matt a very capable person knowing his facts and articulating them in a way that most people representing the building community have not.  He works hard at trying to understand the issues of everyone at the table.  He fights and works hard for his "beliefs" and is a
strong advocate for his positions, he attacks arguments, never people. He is someone I have worked with and respect, even if we are not on the same side.

I have known Matt Sprung for more than five years and have worked with him as a client and colleague.  He brings an enthusiasm that is second to none.  He also has developed experience, expertise and relationships that are critical to effective and efficient real estate development in New Jersey.  He is creative and insightful and his experience on various governmental Boards and environmental committees has given him insights into both the public and private sides and issues relating to redevelopment.  He is a pleasure to work with and I unequivocally recommend him.
