Derek von Sturmer and Matt Ryken sold our home with real energy and focus at a time when the market was not making it easy. They communicated clearly at every stage, kept things moving, and made sure we felt informed rather than anxious. We felt well looked after, without the usual real estate bluster, and would recommend them without hesitation.
We weren’t looking to sell our house. But an open home across the road turned into an unexpected purchase, and we suddenly needed to sell our place. Derek and Matt got us multiple offers quickly while being calm, communicative and incredibly hard working throughout. Be careful if you see them at an open home, these guys have an uncanny ability to turn ‘nosy neighbours’ into unexpected (but very happy) buyers.
I can’t recommend Derek and Matt highly enough if you’re thinking of selling your home. They recently sold my property in Auckland, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. They were professional, proactive, and incredibly easy to deal with throughout the process. Their communication was excellent, keeping me informed every step of the way, and their knowledge of the market gave me real confidence in their approach. My home sold at auction, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Derek and Matt went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and their dedication truly made a difference. If you’re looking for agents who are committed, knowledgeable, and deliver great results, I would absolutely recommend them.
Derek and Matt really know their stuff. They were incredibly supportive throughout the sale of our house and the purchase of our new home. They brought a real sense of personality to the whole process, which made everything feel more personal, enjoyable, and far less stressful. They were professional, reassuring, and great to deal with at every stage. The unique concierge service was phenomenal and made a huge difference in getting our property ready for market. Gina and Freya were standouts. their support, care, and attention to detail was outstanding. We’re very grateful to the whole team for helping us through such an important time and would highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home.
We’ve just gone unconditional on our property, and I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the outstanding work from Derek and Matt at Professionals Real Estate, Point Chevalier. Having originally purchased the property through Derek almost eight years ago to the day, it was invaluable to work with someone who not only understands the local market so well but also has an in-depth knowledge of the house itself, including the renovations and improvements made over time. The effort Derek and Matt put in over the past several weeks to help us prepare the property for sale was exceptional. Combined with a highly professional and well-executed marketing campaign, we were able to hit the ground running from the very first open home, generating immediate multi-vendor interest and offers. This is a direct reflection of their preparation, expertise, and professionalism. A huge thank you to Derek, Matt, and the wider team at Professionals Real Estate. The name truly reflects the service you provide.
Derek, Matt and the team at Professional’s Point Chev guided us through the whole selling process culminating in a fantastic result on auction day. Highly recommend. Rachel and Wayne.
Working with the team at Professionals was an enjoyable experience and we appreciated their support throughout the sale of our home. Communication was clear and they put in a lot of effort arranging private viewings and keeping us regularly updated. The team worked quickly to turn around the marketing on a tight timeline and were always available to answer questions along the way. Their knowledge of the local market was helpful and we appreciated the work they put into the campaign which ultimately helped us selling under the hammer on auction day.
We were very impressed with the team at Professionals Point Chevalier. Derek and Matt did a fantastic job achieving a great result. They worked tirelessly throughout the campaign, even with difficult weather during open homes, and handled the sales campaign with professionalism and confidence. We’re grateful to Derek and Matt for guiding the process and delivering such a positive outcome. Thank you to the whole team.
Having now sold another home with Derek and Matt at Professionals, I can honestly say the experience continues to be outstanding. They know the market inside and out, and I always feel safe and confident trusting them with such an important decision. They worked hard to secure an excellent result. Highly recommend.

We can’t speak highly enough of Derek and Matt from Professionals. From our very first conversation, they were true to their word — their market knowledge, advice, and overall approach were spot on. They had a clear understanding of how to position and market our home to make the most of the early-year opportunity, and their strategy proved exactly right. Their approach felt current, confident, and well considered, and their genuine love for the job and the local area really shone through in everything they produced. Throughout the entire process, their communication was impeccable. We always felt informed and supported, knowing exactly what was happening and when. It genuinely felt like we were with them every step of the way. We can’t thank Derek and Matt enough — they achieved a fantastic result for us, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to sell. Chris and Sian Burgess
