About Matthew

Truthfully, I can’t think of anything more exciting, dynamic or enjoyable than having being part of building and growing one of the most successful property agencies in the Ku-ring-gai area. Before I was inspired to open our own North Shore property office in 2000, I spent eight years immersed in the intricacies of refined hospitality with a well-known international five-star luxury hotel chain. Much of what I learned in the luxury hotel industry has carried over into real estate: ensuring clients feel genuinely valued, creating a welcoming and sophisticated experience, and remembering that people sit at the heart of everything we do. These principles remain central to what makes McConnell Bourn such a strong brand and a place that continues to attract some of the most talented and respected people in the industry. For over thirty years, it has been a privilege to be trusted by vendors, buyers, investors, and tenants to market, negotiate, and manage their property assets. Our clients come from all over the world, with an increasing number from China, the UK, and interstate. Today, in my role as a sales agent, mentor, and sales coach within McConnell Bourn, I continue to share my beliefs, local knowledge, and passion for achieving excellence with our team. Helping others grow, develop, and succeed as property professionals remains one of the most rewarding aspects of my work.
