Matt produced a great deal on our house and then had to try and list and sell the buyers house. The deal was extended and the third party buyer came from overseas, adding complication to the deal. Matt managed all of these scenarios well, kept us up to date and got all three parties across the line. Well done Matt and thank you!
I first came to know Matt Galvin a few years ago when I was looking to buy a property in the Nelson region. He came across as knowledgeable of the market and represented a number of good listings. I eventually bought this property listed with another agent and kept Matt from Harcourts Motueka in mind for future properties. Over time I began to draw on Matts sound advice on the housing market conditions, house pricing and outlooks. Before I made the hard decision to sell having moved to Australia, Matt advised me which property to sell and which to retain and the best time to sell my property. When it came time to listing my property, he shared some insights on what I could do to prepare the property for sale and what was the best marketing strategy to canvass my property to right audience. When it came time to a listing price Matt challenged my expectations and we agreed to an 'overs of price' and an exclusive listing for 3 months and marketing campaign. Matt and the photographer did an amazing job to portray my property in the best light and a series of open homes and worked with clients that matched the profile of my property for sale. When the buyer was found (and rather quickly) Matt put on his negotiating skills and helped me as the Seller and the Buyer come to a meeting of the minds to sign the Sale & Purchase Agreement and a subsequent successful sale. Post the sale a month ago Matt has maintained communications with me and displayed his care for his clients. If you are considering listing or buying a property, I can honestly say that Matt and the Harcourts team list quality properties, and that Matt will represent you with integrity, professionalism and manage your expectations. I thoroughly recommend Matt representing you and wish him continued success in this industry and will reach out to him again in the future.
Matt worked with us in getting times for viewings . He worked Easter Monday so we could do final inspection. He was a pleasure to work with.
Our sales process was very long - Matt keep up his enthusiasm over the 12 month period. He stayed focused and kept me up to date with developments. In the end it was a great result for everyone. Thanks Matt for hanging in there all that time.
Matt's got an easy going style that matches the pace of the buyer while doing a great job representing the property and its owner. He's good at reading the moment and not being pushy when it won't be appreciated. There were no surprises along the way and he did his best to secure top value for the sellers (from our perspective).
We cannot fault the service we have had from Matt . He is professional, honest and very articulate. He went above and beyond with the sale of our house . He continually kept in communication with us and explained each step . His knowledge of the area was paramount to selling our property but more than all this, he is very personable and friendly . We are so happy that we chose Matt . He never let us down.
Matt was always helpful with any questions we had and when it came to organizing building reports and valuations everything was seamless. Matt was excellent to deal with through the whole process.
Matt helped us sell our batch in a tough market. Was able to negotiate a good arrangement between buyers and sellers to everyone’s satisfaction. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to friends or anyone who is buying or selling in the Tasman Bay region.
We met Matt Galvin for the first time at a property viewing several months ago. That viewing progressed to us making an offer for the property which was subsequently accepted which then became unconditional. From our first meeting, it was clear to us Matt was a very talented agent possessing some rare qualities that set him apart from the many others we have dealt with over several decades. Matt has a great ability to listen, assess & respond thoughtfully, respectfully & very intuitively. His professionalism shone through right from the start. Our transaction was not straightforward & we have no doubt that without Matt’s considerable skills & exceptionally good relationship with his vendor clients, our purchase would not have happened. For anyone seeking an agent with the ‘X’ factor, look no further. Our sincere thanks Matt Sandra & Austin Bragg Queenstown
Matt was the agent selling the home we purchased. Matt went well above and beyond what I had expected from an agent as we progressed through negotiations and settlement of the deal. Matt was always behaved professionally and was very helpful throughout the process. He provided a service that we felt was well beyond what we expected, and he was able to smooth out the steps in the purchasing process. This wasn't expected from the selling agent but was greatly appreciated. He is also quite a good bugger.
After enduring almost 2 years on the market with a mediocre agent, our situation became very dire. Following a string of multiple avoidable and extremely stressful incidences, which snowballed into a life-threatening situation, not to mention costing us a lot of money, we changed agents to Matt. Best decision ever. He closed the deal within 2 months with zero dramas. He’s as good as they get. Highly recommended.
I couldn’t be happier with my home-buying experience, all thanks to Matt Galvin at Bayleys. From my very first contact, Matt was the perfect blend of professional, well-informed, and genuinely caring, a rare combination in real estate. Matt guided me through the beautiful 93 Trewavas Street property with clear and expert knowledge of what I could do with the site. He patiently answered every question, shared insights about the neighborhood, and always made me feel like he had my best interests at heart. Beyond his professionalism, what truly stood out was Matt’s approachable and friendly nature. He made what can often be a stressful process feel easy and enjoyable. I always knew I could trust him to be upfront, reliable, and considerate. If you're looking for someone who combines expertise with a warm, personable approach, Matt Galvin is your agent. I’m thrilled with the new property and immensely grateful for his support every step of the way.
