About Corey
Living his whole life in Ipswich, Corey has a very good knowledge of Ipswich and surrounding suburbs. He is highly enthusiastic and motivated and has a very strong drive and passion to be the best and sets goals for himself to go above and beyond. “I am a motivated and hardworking agent who gives nothing less than 110%. I specialise in the marketing of properties, and I take a different approach to the way most other agents market property and have had huge success by doing so. Not only is it my job to sell your home for top dollar, but to also make it stand out from the competition, which in turn, helps get the traffic through the front door.” Corey’s motto is “No Excuses, Only Results” and he strives to achieve the best possible result for every single client without any stress or excuses. He treats every single person he meets with a high level of professionalism, and it doesn’t matter if they are a seller, buyer, or a tenant. Every single person is treated courteously and with respect. Corey and his wife have built a house and understand the joy of building and owning a property, and he thoroughly enjoys working on his property with his wife, family, and friends, and enjoys the feeling of accomplishment that is received when projects are completed. He is a family man and likes to spend his down time with his wife and 2 children, going to market days and having little adventures with them. “I’m so grateful to have such an amazing little family which is growing. I love to come home from a hard days’ work and see my wife and kids laughing and playing waiting to give me hugs and kisses. It’s such a great feeling and I appreciate every moment with them”. He also enjoys watching sport, going to the gym, and having a beer with his mates. Corey excels through his devotion and passion to be the best and believes that he can help anyone. “The bar is never too high as limitations of success are set by the limitations of what people are willing to do to succeed”.

About Matt
High-quality sales are my forte, built on seamless, professional interactions with owners who value a stress-free process. Clients and colleagues rely on my blend of candour and integrity while I prioritise their needs over pressure tactics. My approach is polished yet approachable, fostering trust and collaboration. I’m driven to ensure equitable, satisfying outcomes for buyers and sellers alike making every deal a success. When I’m not running inspections or negotiating deals, I’m often out meeting locals, chatting with homeowners, or simply getting a feel for how the neighbourhood is evolving. I genuinely enjoy being part of the community and I find that staying connected helps me give clients real, honest insights and not just sales talk. I’m not here to be the loudest agent in the room, I’m here to be the one people trust. I follow up, I follow through, and I don’t make promises I can’t keep. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling an investment, or just weighing up your options, I’m here to make the process as smooth and straightforward as possible.

So thankful to have used Corey for the sale of our property. From the first phone call to Corey, he hit the ground running. Corey is down to earth but very professional, hard working, responsive EVERY time we reached out, friendly with a heart of gold and a love for weiners! His knowledge and views on how to market our property hit the nail on the head. Thanks Corey :)

Professional, responsive agent who maximised results and saved costs

I recently sold my house and had a fantastic experience with my agent, Mark Newton from NGU. From start to finish, he was incredibly organised and always responsive, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. His professionalism really stood out, backed by over 20 years of experience in the industry. What I appreciated most was his ability to guide me through smart decisions—helping avoid unnecessary expenses while maximising the final outcome. Thanks to his expertise, I was able to achieve a better result than I expected. Highly recommend Mark Newton to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable agent!

An all rounder great guy with a sense of humour, but knew exactly when to get to business! Amazing

Corey was extremely responsive and listened to all our queries and concerns as if they were no issue at all! He’s helped us through every step of the way. Helping me buy my first home back in 2021, then selling it for us in 2025 was a fantastic experience. He’s a great guy, very down to earth and won’t beat around the bush. Exactly what we wanted. Loved his work!

Corey was easy to communicate with and kept us in the loop all the way. He was very professional while in a nutshell being a good honest bloke who was true to his word. We would be happy to have Corey sell and future properties for us
