Robert Christensen & Anthony Matic

Owners of an Oregon real-estate investment company

Avoid — Serious red flags
Reviewed July 1, 2026Also known as: Robert D. Christensen, Anthony M. Matic
Public record: Criminal conviction on record

What the public record shows

Robert D. Christensen, 56, and Anthony M. Matic, 56, owners of an Oregon real-estate investment company, were sentenced on April 30, 2026 for their roles in a fraud conspiracy: Christensen to 63 months and Matic to 33 months in federal prison. These are criminal convictions — not allegations.

The scheme

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon:

  • From January 2019 through June 2023, Christensen and Matic told individual investors their money would be used to buy and renovate undervalued residential real estate.
  • The scheme caused roughly $17 million in investor harm.

Why we rate this 1 / 10 — Avoid

Two federal fraud convictions tied to a “fix-and-flip” real-estate investment pitch — a common structure precisely because renovated houses are tangible and easy to believe in. Belief is not verification.

Verify it yourself

  • DOJ press release (District of Oregon) — linked in Sources.
  • PACER — the criminal docket in the District of Oregon.
  • County property records — confirm a fund actually owns the properties it claims.

Bottom line

Both convicted and sentenced. If someone raises money to “buy and flip” real estate, ask for deeds, titles, and third-party escrow — not photos and promises.
