As a first time buyer, we found Matt's expertise to be professional and his calmness under pressure extremely reassuring throughout what was an extremely stressful period. There is no substitute for an insiders view of the residential real estate industry, regardless of how much you think you have learned from the media and talking to friends. Matt regularly went beyond the call of duty, working weekends and evenings on our behalf as well as offering to undertake the pre-settlement inspection. Matt also deferred to his colleague Saul when we changed tack midway through our search and began focusing on a different part of Sydney (which Saul was more familiar with).

Although we were initially disappointed that we missed out on our first choice at our first auction, it was reassuring to know that the final price came in well above Matt's appraisal value. Just as importantly, Matt steered us away from properties that were less suited to our needs and would have taken many years to recoup a reasonable capital gain.

When we found a property that my wife and I both liked, Matt negotiated a price that was $50,000 below what the vendor was seeking 6 months prior - a tremendous outcome given that average prices in the area had acutally appreciated during this period. I suspect Matt's familiarity with the vendors agent and his negotiating acumen greatly assisted in this process.

I have no hesitatation in recommending Matt and his propertybuyer colleagues, Saul and David to anyone interested in securing property as an owner or investor. I shall be seeking Matt's services when the time comes for my wife and I to source investment properties.

Dear Matt, thank you for all of your help and support during the search and purchase of our new home. As you know with three children and my work schedule, Melissa and I are very time poor. Buying the right house for our family was so important to us and your approach and professionalism gave us confidence that we were going to make the right decision.

With selling our previous house first we were also conscious of the tight time frame for us to buy a house and joked with you at first that it would be great if both houses could settle on the same day! To our absolute delight that is exactly what happened. Your structured approach to the search, appraisal and negotiation ensured we got the house we wanted in the right time frame. In addition, you opened our eyes to a property we otherwise would not have looked at and as a result I feel like we achieved a great financial outcome that I am sure will pay dividends when we go to sell in the future.

Thank you again for your help and I would not hesitate in recommending propertybuyer and you personally to my family and friends.

Daren, Chief Executive Officer
