Matt is a star!

Knowing that we had made an unconditional offer on a property with a long settlement period in a in a low market and that we needed to see our two properties sold as successfully as possible, Matt suggested different strategies for each property, and worked with us to achieve an excellent result. Despite the depressed property market, we had 42 groups of people through one home and 15 groups of people through our investment property. We settled both properties within two weeks for good prices that were higher than expected, and with potential backup offers, resulting in us being able to continue with the purchase of our new property with confidence. Matt had an impressive understanding of the local market, which helped us make informed decisions. He kept us informed at every step of the process and was always available to answer questions. He went above and beyond, by mowing some large lawns when rain had made a tidy job difficult, by seeking out target market groups for our very different properties, and by supporting the eventual purchasers of one property to find alternative banking options enabling their mortgage and the sale to go through. He negotiated a good deal on our behalf, ensuring we got the best possible price on both properties. His professionalism was evident from start to finish, making the whole process smooth and straightforward. We trusted Matt completely and felt that his strategic thinking about the particular marketing plan for each property was wise, had our best interests at heart and was ultimately very successful as both properties sold within two weeks! Well done Matt and Samantha. You are a great team.

Great agent

Out of all the agents we dealt with Matt was the most sincere and I'm glad he was the agent involved in our buying process. Goes over and beyond to put your mind at ease. Thank you Matt and team.

Good local market knowledge, good communication with a laid back but professional approach

Ben has sold us 2 houses in 9 10 months and sold our house. In a slower market than normal he had to sell our house at a required price point to make our new house purchase work point as well as keep our sale alive on a property we had put an offer on through him. So he had to sell our house to the new owners, sell the house we were buying off his other seller and keep everyone happy. No pressure at all. Ben did well to bring it all together.

If anyone can, Matt Can

We were quite stressed about not being able to get the price we needed for our sale but not only did Matt find us a deal that went above our expectations he managed it in just 10 days of being of being advertised, all while being in a slow selling market. Matt was excellent as an agent, very accommodating with our needs through the settlement process. He is a solid easy going bloke and cant recommend him enough, he has a client for life with us!

Good market knowlege, knows area well.

In under a year have bought 2 houses and sold one through Ben. We sold in an uncertain market and with a very short timeframe due to the new house purchase. Under much pressure and dealing with 3 parties he got the job done. Well done.

A TRICKY PURCHASE MADE EASY

We live in the UK at the moment and have just bought a property through Ben Gibson. Buying your retirement home without viewing it is seldom well-advised, but to do so from such a distance was even more daunting. Ben took this on board and single-handedly reduced my angst throughout the process. He took guided videos over every inch of the property, remained in constant contact throughout; provided very sound, measured advice and clearly took on board our housing needs because he is an excellent listener. My NZ family have since viewed the property and it exceeded all expectations. Ben's professionalism was exemplary, but above all he is a genunine guy who wanted the best for us; this showed in spades. Thanks Ben.

Difficult situation made bearable!

Matt was extremely professional. He went above & beyond. With an interesting property that required selling and a complex situation attached to it. He made things seemless. Thanks a million Matt.

Best of the Best

Ben and Bex were fantastic at getting our house sold in a tough market. Throughout the process Ben was enthusiastic, relatable and easy to deal with. Thanks to Ben’s expertise and dedication we had multiple offers and sold for a price both parties were happy with. He went above and beyond to get the place sold, we would recommend him and his team to others!
