Meet Matt Doby

Founder of The Local Ledger | Mortgage Advisor | U.S. Coast Guard Veteran

I’m Matt Doby, the founder of The Local Ledger and a mortgage advisor with Edge Home Finance (NMLS #2115225). After serving over a decade in the U.S. Coast Guard, I found my next mission: helping people navigate the path to homeownership and financial freedom.

With years of experience in real estate, lending, and relocation, I created The Local Ledger as a one-stop resource for home financing, real estate investing, and exploring the best of local living. Whether you’re a veteran, first-time buyer, or investor, my goal is to help you feel confident, informed, and supported every step of the way.

I’m based in Summerville, SC, and I work with clients across the Southeast—bringing hometown service to big-picture goals.
