Excellent communication, great enthusiasm, highly professional

We had a great experience working with Jev and Matt to sell our home in Hobsonville, and would highly recommend them to anyone considering selling their property. What stood out most to us was their excellent communication throughout the entire process. They were incredibly responsive and always contactable, even late in the evening during particularly critical stages of the sale. We were kept well informed and involved at every step, and really appreciated their transparency, whether it was feedback from open homes, discussions with prospective buyers, or updates on negotiations. We always felt that we had a clear picture of what was happening. We also had to travel overseas for part of the campaign, but Jev and Matt managed everything well in our absence. They maintained great communication with us while also working very effectively with prospective buyers, which gave us considerable peace of mind. Their advice was consistently thoughtful, practical and reasonable. Even when unexpected challenges arose along the way, they remained approachable, professional and proactive in helping us navigate them. Having had a previous experience selling the property, we particularly appreciated the difference in their approach. It’s a tough market for sellers at the moment, but their enthusiasm and hard work brought about an outcome we were satisfied with. We would happily recommend Matt and Jev to anyone looking to sell in Hobsonville and nearby areas. Thanks again, guys!

Smoothest possible experience

I really couldn’t ask for anything to have gone better. I started looking at properties on a Saturday, met Cherry, and told her what I was looking for. She took me to a property that hadn’t yet been listed the next day, and by Tuesday evening, we had a signed conditional offer. She was always available for questions and quick to respond or contact the sellers. It was an incredibly smooth and easy process and I can’t think of a thing I would do differently. Thank you Cherry for the great experience! I’d recommend her to anyone.

The dream team for buying our first home

Team Jev and Matt went above and beyond in every aspect of our house hunt. We first connected with them over a house we missed out on at auction, but after that experience, we knew they were incredibly competent and wanted to continue our search alongside them. As time went on, they quickly narrowed down our search by really taking the time to understand our brief. They stayed within our price point and found properties that suited both my husband’s and my needs. They even picked up on aspects of a home we didn’t know we wanted until Jev and Matt showed us! Never once did we feel like they were simply trying to get a sale out of us. They were patient, reassuring and always reminded us that good things take time. This was something we felt right from the beginning and one of the main reasons we wanted to stick by their side throughout the entire search. Matt attended the auction for 18 Meteor Road while we bid over the phone. He guided us through the whole process, helped keep our emotions in check and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. When we finally won the auction, it genuinely felt like he was just as happy for us as we were! If you want to feel like you’ve received a truly personalised, professional experience, I couldn’t recommend Jev and Matt more. We are so grateful to have had them alongside us throughout the process.

Outstanding Experience from Start to Finish – Highly Recommend Matt & Jev!

We had an absolutely excellent experience with Matt and Jev when purchasing our amazing home in Hobsonville, Auckland. From the very beginning, their communication was outstanding. Even before the property officially went on the market, they were incredibly accommodating, keeping us updated and arranging an early viewing. Once we had our hearts set on the house, nothing was ever too much trouble, including multiple viewings, regular updates and answering any questions we had along the way. The auction itself was particularly stressful, but Matt and Jev were fantastic. They were reassuring, offered some valuable advice at a crucial moment and really helped us navigate the process. Their communication and attention to detail continued right through to the pre-settlement inspection and settlement day, making sure everything was handled smoothly. What impressed us most was seeing firsthand just how much effort they put into marketing and selling the property. Although we were the buyers, the experience gave us complete confidence that they would be equally fantastic to have representing us as sellers. If you’re thinking of selling your home in Hobsonville or the surrounding Auckland areas, I couldn’t recommend Matt and Jev highly enough. Their professionalism, communication, local knowledge and genuine commitment to doing a great job really stood out. Thanks again, guys. We absolutely love our home! Blair & Natalie (and the boys)!

Great communication and friendly, knowledgable duo

We chose Matt and Jev for their clear, honest communication style and deep knowledge of the Hobsonville Point market. They did not disappoint! We live 3 hours away from the property and they made everything seamless, from staging to settlement day. They sold our townhouse in a very tough market within 4 weeks - we are very happy we chose them and would recommend them to anyone who is looking to sell in the Hobsonville area. Hobsonville is a really niche market so it’s really important your agents understand the nuances that can make or break your sale, and can help make your property stand out in a sea of similar places. Thanks for all your help Matt and Jev!
