Buying our first home was a fantastic experience. The agent was knowledgeable, patient, and always available to answer our questions. The process was smooth from start to finish, and we felt well-supported throughout. We found the perfect home and couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend for a stress-free buying journey.
We give Matt a five star rating. We have bought and sold a number of homes over the years and Matt is by far the most dedicated and professional agent that we have dealt with. We highly recommend Matt to everyone buying or selling a home.
We purchased our new property through Matt, we found him to be friendly and very easy to deal with. We have chosen to list our current property with Matt because he is very likeable, has good knowledge of the property market, he keeps us well informed and is always available to answer questions and is very enthusiastic and motivated. We recommend him 100%
We worked with Matt to sell our home and really appreciated his support from start to finish. He was easy to talk to, kept us updated, and genuinely cared about getting the best outcome for us. Made a stressful process feel much smoother — thanks again, Matt!
We had been searching for a home for some time and had the opportunity to meet Matt at a few properties. From the outset, he demonstrated a high level of professionalism and approachability, while also making a genuine effort to build a personal connection - not only with us but also with the kids, which we truly appreciated. Matt consistently followed up on any information we required and provided thoughtful, timely support throughout the entire home-buying process. His ability to combine professional expertise with a warm, personable approach made a significant difference in our experience.
We set Matt the inevitable task of selling our property on a particularly tight deadline (in a less than hot market), and he delivered! Matt proved a hard worker with good connections, more than capable of handling everything thrown his way - and always with a smile on his face. He made the process a breeze, always being mindful of our time while being very generous with his. We would gladly work with Matt again.
Reference for Matt Hourigan of Bayleys L Scott – June 8 2025 As a buyer: We began house hunting in earnest nearly a year ago and first met Matt at a property on Hautana St. He was one of the first agents I encountered and I’m very glad to say, the agent I finally bought from. There were around 10 other agents in between (some of whom I would not have been happy to get any commission from my purchase) so I feel I am well placed to give fair feedback. From the off he was different to most of the other agents I have encountered. As a woman viewing on my own or with small children in tow I am regularly ignored, I am seldom asked what I am looking for or what my budget is, in short, I am not considered a potential buyer. Matt was the first of very few who engaged and worked to get the sale. I’ve watched Matt on a couple of occasions; he engages with everyone. I don’t really have time to write a long essay, and I’m sure you don’t have time to read it, but here’s a summary – • He is one of the few agents to make the effort to speak with me when I’ve walked around a property (I mean actually come and walk with me, not just stand at the door), he pointed out features, disclosures, told me about the position of the vendors, and was curious about my little family and our property goals. • He is one of the few agents to follow up in person and not just send out the same lazy copy and paste text message/email. • He was incredibly responsive to my questions, where he did not have the information to hand, he found it quickly and came back to me. • He was persistent, but not to the point of being annoying. He has decent EQ so knows when he’s on the verge of being a pain, and he is very resilient, he keeps coming back. He is hands down the hardest working of all the agents I encountered, and it was for that reason he was my first choice when it came time to list my own.
Our experience with Matt was a very positive one. He did his best to accommodate with viewing times and sourcing additional information. He was very proactive in following up to ensure he had everything under control with no loose ends.
Matt has an enthusiasm and assurance to make the home buying process bearable. We had been looking for a house for over a year and Matt recognized that and helped us to get the property that suited our needs - thank you Matt.
Matt - a note to thank you for the most professional way you and the Bayleys team went about sellimg my house. Every step of the way I was kept informed from the very first meeting till the house was sold. I was amazed at the numbers who viewed the house - thank you for the excellent marketing you providsed. The house was sold to a family who I know will respect the home just as we did and this was despite the difficulties with the council who misplaced a signifcant consent and found by them just one day after tenders closed. Your commitment to details and overcoming problens was outstanding. My family and I are overwhelmingly grateful to you and your team. Excellence is not sufficient - thank you most sincerely. My family and I whoeheartedly recommend you and Bayleys to any future buyer or seller. Kindes regards Peter
My husband and I highly recommend Matt to sell your house. He was eager and ready to go from the moment we called him. He was always available to answer any questions, and was great at communicating timelines and market updates. He got us the price that he initially appraised our house at and we couldn’t have been happier with the end result. Matt is good at trying to work through the process and make it the smoothest transition as possible with little to no conditions at the other end. Highly recommended Matt. He is friendly and approachable with a great sense of humour when you need it!
We had a fantastic experience working with Matt. He’s incredibly professional and passionate about what he does and is always enthusiastic. As overseas buyers, we really appreciated his honest advice and the way he guided us through the entire process. He was always available to answer our questions, and he made the whole experience so much easier. We highly recommend Matt if you are looking for a reliable and dedicated agent!
