Trying to buy a home is this fast paced market is extremely stressful and difficult at best. My husband and I have been trying to find the right family home for some time now that is close enough to the children’s school and that will accommodate our needs. In addition to the normal practice of scouring the websites for the right home, we put the feelers out with many local agents – reaching out asking to be informed if they list a family home that suits our needs. We understand that everyone leads busy work lives and that we a just another buyer out there in the marketplace and as such, can be overlooked. We are happy to say that it is evident that Matt was intent in helping us achieve our goal as he was one of the very few that called us on regular occasions with new listings to consider and general market updates / trends. So it comes as no surprise that we now have had the fortune to purchase for a second time off Matt who we consider to be a true professional and knows the Aspendale market extremely well. After sales service and attention to our needs post sale is second to none. An extremely personable agent with a genuine interest in helping his customers, I cant thank Matt enough. Thank you and we look forward to many happy years ahead in our lovely new home!

When I engaged Simon's services again it was all about the total professional package that he is. I knew buyers would be called back, understood and made feel important and I knew as the seller he would would ensure every opportunity was maximized to ensure a great outcome. This is exactly what Simon went out and did. I felt throughout the journey from start to end that I had selected the very best agent and was given the very best advice and support throughout the journey. Any agent can sell a home in a sellers market however few work as hard as Simon and as strategically to ensure no stone is left unturned/every opportunity is identified. When the market spoke to us on auction day I knew that whatever was going to happen would include every available opportunity there was at the time. It was a fabulous result and I will always be grateful that Simon stayed in touch since our first sale with him 8 years ago (he was fantastic then too). I will never hesitate in listing with Simon any future property as I know that is how to achieve best outcome the market has at the time.

We met Simon while looking at a home that was open for inspection. We asked him if he would like to give us an appraisal of our home, Which he and his wife, Miranda, did. They did a great presentation and so we engaged them to sell our home. within about 10 days after listing, our house was sold. We found that their service was very good and we have no hesitation in recommending Simon to anyone contemplating selling their home.

A credit to Matthew for the sale of my apartment in Aspendale. This property was a difficult property to sell, with body corporate complexities and an apartment block in need of some attention. Matthew persevered and got the sale - Well done Matt and thanks again for your efforts.

Simon and Miranda ran a clever and professional campaign that resulted in the recent successful auction of a property of mine in Parkdale. I am grateful to Simon and Miranda and happy to recommend them for their professionalism, their communication skills, their care and attention to detail and their willingness to do what it takes to produce great results.

It would be remiss of us not to properly take the time to acknowledge Simon's amazing efforts across the spectrum for the sale of our property. His most considered, uniquely strategic, marketing advice, regular email and phone contact, helpfulness with those little nuisance things were all fantastic. Not to mention his total and genuinely respectful treatment of not only ourselves but the prospective purchasers which makes a potentially stressful process a pleasant one for all involved. Importantly the only pressure in the whole process was that which Simon placed on himself to achieve the best outcome for us his Vendors. Real estate is in Simon's blood, he is second generation, he loves it, is super engaged and it shows. Behind all of the above of course is his assistant and wife Miranda whose delightful aura and professionalism augment all of the above (Thankyou Miranda). In summary Simon and Miranda are Real Estate Role models and if I was Hocking Stuart I would clone them! They are refreshingly the real deal who will relentlessly and loyally per sue the best result for you. (5/6 Venice St Mentone Sold Nov 2016)

Matthew Marshall knows Aspendale & surrounding suburbs well and more importantly knows the local people. He deals well with both vendors and buyers and gives straightforward honest service. Very reassuring.

Matthew gave us a very honest opinion of our house and estimate of price. We wanted a quick no fuss sale and he was happy to go along with our ideas of marketing and sale. We chose to auction our property as we had another property depending on the sale of our place. He was able to secure that sale, unconditionally prior to auction at a price which more than satisfied our expectations. We found Matthew went the extra mile to make sure everything was right for us. Thank you Matthew, we are very happy, satisfied customers and would happily recommend you to anyone.
