I provide this testimonial in favour of Matthew Nolan. My family has resided in Burwood since 1975, and in that time Matthew and his father before him have had a strong presence on the real estate scene. As a result Matthew knows well the local property market, and has extensive contacts which he clearly fosters and uses effectively. Matthew recently sold our large Federation family home. In doing so he kept us fully informed and involved, and supported and advised us throughout the process. His approach was sensible, strategic, accommodating, timely and considered. The family, including my elderly mother still living in the house, appreciated Matthew's attention to all matters involving the sale and to his calm and reassuring demeanour. We had every confidence in Matthew throughout. As a result of his endeavours and keen negotiations, Matthew achieved a great pre-auction result for us. I have no hesitation in recommending him to any potential vendors.

We would unreservedly recommend Matthew Nolan and the Rich & Oliva team to anyone selling their property. When we needed to sell our family home of over 50 years following the death of our mother, Matthew made the process easy from the very first meeting. He was very measured and factual at the initial meeting and answered all our questions clearly and patiently. Matthew was never pushing his past achievements or why we needed to go with him and his team. He was always professional and made you feel at ease. The strategy was clearly articulated and agreed upon and the campaign was well executed. His strong knowledge of the market in the local area was key to the overall strategy. The videos, photographs and social media were excellent and the communication from Matthew was faultless. In addition to weekly written campaign reports he would also regularly update us by phone and in person and was always willing to answer any questions we had. He patiently explained to us the auction process in a meeting the day before and he and his team made the auction day as stress-free as could be expected. He was always very empathetic and supportive in what was a very emotional time for us. We were extremely happy with the result that Matthew Nolan and Rich & Oliva helped us achieve. Thank you so much for your professionalism and compassion.

Matthew, a quick note to acknowledge your exceptional input into the successful sale of the above mentioned property. The problems surrounding property dealings at the present time are well documented. By all accounts property sellers are on the backfoot. I had expressed my apprehension at achieving any sort of outcome given the downturn in the market. However, I genuinely believe your experience and local knowledge made such a difference I was able to sell the property to meet my expectations. During the entire process your professionalism including attention to detail were outstanding. Thanks so much for your assistance and I look forward to the lunch we spoke about Regards Les

I had the pleasure of working with Matthew Nolan on a recent purchase, and found him to be very professional and easy to deal with. He's clearly an agent who has his vendor's best interests at heart. He worked very hard to ensure a deal could be put together which would suit both the vendor and the buyer (in a very challenging market).

We are lucky to have Matthew Nolan as vendor’s agent. During the marketing campaign, he provided his professional advise to highlight the strengths of our house. He actively sought feedback from potential buyers, collected and analyzed market data for us. With his inputs, the results exceeded our expectation. We definitely recommend Matthew to all property vendors.

When our brother passed away, my sister and I, as executers to his estate, were faced with the daunting task of selling his home which had been in our family for over 90 years. By chance we attended an Auction handled by Rich and Oliva. We had no experience with auctions but were impressed with the professional way the auction proceeded. We spoke to one of the Agency representatives at the end of the auction and we were contacted soon after by Matthew Nolan. Matthew arranged to meet with us at the house and was so helpful giving us a plan of action to move forward to prepare the house for market. At all times Matthew was helpful and positive. No matter what worries we had he always had positive, knowledgeable answers. Once the marketing began, we received a phone call after each Open House on attendance and comments about the property. There was also a weekly written report on the interest shown in the property from both open house and private inspections. We were happy with the result of the auction receiving above the reserve price. We were very pleased with the way Matthew handled the entire four week campaign as well as the period of preparation of the property. With his professional and reassuring style we are very happy to recommend him.

We first met Matthew 22 years ago when we purchased the apartment from him so when the time came to sell we made contact with him again. Matthew helped us prepare the property and kept us informed during the marketing campaign. He provided an update after every inspection and achieved a successful result!

Some years ago I had the opportunity to witness the wonderful work of Rich & Oliva. I still remember thinking how the team of this company knew exactly what to do and how to do it. Nothing was too much for them. They are professionals. They really look after everyone and I am very glad I used Rich & Oliva. What I noticed is that they never waste your time. Matthew Nolan is always on the dot and if he’s stuck in traffic he picks up his phone and gets in touch……….helpful and communicative. That is why Rich & Oliva will always stand out from the rest.

We selected Rich and Oliva to sell our home, because they are based in Croydon Park and have very good inside knowledge of the area. Matthew, Marco and team were professional at all times listening to our views in relation to selling our home but also providing constructive and knowledgeable advice. Matthew was always available at all times to explain any concerns or questions we had. He answered questions in plain English which made it easier for us to process and understand. Rich and Oliva also have a professional and courteous external team including drafting of plans, photography, videography, and stylist. They all worked ‘with us’ to achieve the best possible outlook of our home. We would definitely recommend Matthew and his team. DFW & RBW

I am writing to you to say how very pleased I was with the services that your colleague Matthew Nolan provided my family and I with the sale of our property. From our first meeting Matthew was very personable, friendly and knowledgeable about our property. He knew the area it was situated and local values. He guided us through the selling process with confidence and I totally trusted all the advice that he gave us. Our property was fraught with problems and I am so grateful to him for all he did to help us overcome those problems. He truly went above and beyond what I would expect an estate agent to do. He kept me updated and informed with every step of the selling process which culminated with a great result with our property realising a price greater than we thought that we could achieve. Yours sincerely, Lindel

The quickest process of buying a house! Matt and the team were extremely helpful and made the purchasing of my new property easy and hassle free. He communicated with us so well and was easy to contact when needed. I would gladly work with Matt again and definitely recommend to a friend.

Rich and Oliva went above and beyond to assist me in purchasing a unit, meeting me twice outside scheduled open home viewing times to inspect the property prior to purchase, and providing access to the property on two occasions prior to settlement to inspect the unit and plan minor improvements, so I could have the property tenanted as soon as possible after completing my purchase. Agents and staff were courteous and straightforward in their dealing with me. Highly recommend their services.
