As interstate investors it was critical that we found an honest agent that would assist with more than just the listing. Mathew and the team arranged competitively priced tradesman to freshen the property after 12 years of rental. All work was completed whilst we were holidaying in Canada and listed shortly thereafter. The property presented really well and we had good interest which led to a sale prior to auction. In the negotiation phase Mathew's level of communication was exceptional, lessor agents would have conditioned us to taking the first offers presented. having moved from Sydney 18 years ago, we trusted his local and market knowledge and are very happy with the final result. We would happily recommend Mathew and his team to any prospective seller.
We chose Matthew as our sales agent based on our experience as prospective buyers over a number of years. We felt that they way an agent interacts with potential buyers is crucial to the sales process and have always found Matthew very approachable and reliable. In addition, Matthew has an excellent knowledge of properties in the area. Communication throughout the sales process was flawless and the market report during the campaign was very detailed and gave us as vendors a good idea of what our property might sell for. We would highly recommend Matthew as a sales agent and would happily use him again in the future.
During the entire campaign Matthew remained calm and focused. Our property was extremely unique and did not appeal to the average buyer wanting to enter the neighbourhood. Matthew managed to arrange excellent free editorial in Domain, the Financial Review and local papers. The property was given every opportunity to achieve the best price. His experience and expertise was best displayed at the auction where he was able to achieve the best result possible. We would highly recommend Matthew and his team.
Working with Matthew Smythe was a successful experience with minimal stress. His pre sale advice was thorough an accurate. Once the house was on the market, he was assiduous in looking after our interests, attending every viewing. After testing the market for the house and with four contracts out, Matthew worked with potential buyers to achieve the top of his estimated range and our reserve and thus we sold before auction. Throughout the whole sale process Matthew was courteous and helpful and, while selling a house is always stressful, working with Matthew was a positive and even enjoyable experience.I would be happy to recommend Matthew to potential sellers.
I have dealt with real estate agents in the past with mixed emotions, however dealing with Matthew was a breeze. He definitely knew the area and value of our property, took initiative to help sort out a few issues prior to our first open house and kept us informed after each viewing. He was a pleasure to deal with.
Selling my apartment was a very emotional time for me, however I felt very supported by Matthew and his team through every step of the process. I am extremely impressed by his knowledge of the industry and dedication to achieving the best outcome for me.
Right from the start Matthew ensured that he provided me with all the necessary details to assist with helping me make the decision to purchase my apartment. Matthew was professional and always approachable and handled the negotiating process with clear direction right through to execution. I certainly had a great experience and would definitely recommend Matthew to anyone wanting to buy and or sell a property.
Matthew Smythe has a professional, easy and friendly manner. He is very approachable and able to tackle each aspect of the sale with confidence and punctuality. Matthew regularly communicated to us the progress of the sale and feedback from potential buyers. We were unable to attend to many aspects of the sale directly ourselves and felt well supported by Matthew's team at Belle Property.
Matthew Smythe handled the highly successful sale by auction of my elderly mother’s apartment at Cremorne Point. He’s extremely personable and professional, has a deep knowledge of the market and is skilled at sales strategy. The entire sales process including minor renovating, cleaning and styling suggestions were organised seamlessly and Matthew’s skill as an agent was displayed through other helpful strategic suggestions during the campaign. He kept me fully advised and achieved a sale price which was well above my expectations. I strongly recommend him.
I chose to use Matthew after considering 5 different agencies and being impressed with his initial meeting and sound, realistic advice. His communication was always excellent through our campaign, and he successfully realised a price above our target and that was solely due to his negotiating skills. During the campaign, Matthew took it upon himself to embellish a garden that our property overlooked which had direct impact on people's perception at the opens, something that went above and beyond indeed! Highly recommended.
It was a pleasure to deal with Matthew. He showed great market knowledge and was on top of detail about the particular property I was interested in. Matthew facilitated me having private viewings and in making contact with relevant people so that I could obtain independent information about the property. Matthew was also knowledgeable about the area. He was professional and showed integrity in his dealings with me. I have no hesitation in recommending Matthew.
