About Ben
I've been selling homes on the Central Coast for over 7 years and I still get a buzz out of it — especially around Avoca Beach and North Avoca, where I do most of my work. I live local, surf most mornings before I start, and walk my dog Kobi along the same beaches you're probably picturing yourself near. Here's how I work: I'll give you a straight answer, even when it's not the one you want. I won't quote you a big number just to win your business and then spend the whole campaign talking you back down. I'd rather have the honest conversation up front, then get to work chasing the best result we can actually get. Most of my sales go to auction. When a home's presented well, the right buyers will pay a premium for it — and a good auction campaign brings those buyers together and lets them compete. That's where the real money sits for a seller, and it's the part I genuinely love. I'm not the high-pressure, jargon-heavy type. I'm the bloke who'll sit at your kitchen table, treat your home like it matters — because to you it does — and look after the buyers just as well, because they're part of the result too. If you're thinking about selling, even if it's a way off, I'm happy to have a no-pressure chat. Worst case, you walk away with some honest advice.

Experienced, helpful and professional

Matt helped my siblings and I sell our property at MacMasters Beach. We all live in Sydney and we needed someone we could rely on who knew the area and could manage things locally. Matt and his team took care of everything from styling, to trades and the sales process, seamlessly. He was always quick to respond, stayed on top of a few hiccups we experienced along the way, and got us our result. Would recommend Matt and the team at RayWhite Bensville.

Honest and Dedicated Team

Selling our property was far from straightforward, but Matt and the entire team at Ray White were outstanding from start to finish. We were dealing with some difficult circumstances, and throughout the entire process they were professional, understanding, patient and incredibly supportive. Matt’s communication was excellent. He kept us informed every step of the way, was always available to answer questions, and handled every challenge with confidence and a calm approach. It was obvious that he genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for us, not just making a sale. The team’s knowledge of the market, attention to detail and commitment to customer service made what could have been an extremely stressful experience so much easier. They worked tirelessly behind the scenes, kept everything moving forward, and consistently went above and beyond our expectations. Thanks to Matt and the Ray White team, we achieved a fantastic result despite the challenges. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. If you’re after an honest, hardworking and highly professional real estate team that truly puts their clients first, you won’t find better.

Matthew was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He was never pushy and gave us the space we needed during negotiations while still being available whenever we had questions. He came across as genuine and honest throughout the entire process, which made a real difference in building trust. I would highly recommend Matthew to anyone buying or selling.

Sold in a tricky market

After a longer than expected campaign we were ready to pull it off the market or drop the price drastically but Matthew was firm on his expected price guide and we managed to walk away with more than expected. Well done and thank you to your team who worked hard in a tricky, varying market.
