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!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Matt, Ann, and Ben from Bayleys Real Estate, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the outset, their professionalism, diligence, and clear communication stood out. Their marketing plan was flawlessly executed, capturing the essence of our property and reaching the right buyers with precision. The entire process was seamless, and the outcome exceeded our expectations. If you’re thinking of selling, look no further – Matt, Ben, and Ann are a step above anyone else in the industry right now. They’ve truly lifted the bar, and we’re incredibly grateful for their efforts. Michael kelly 0275776233

Matt was awesome he was able to sell the dream to prospective buyers. We had a property that was a bit awkward in terms of size and configuration and other real estate agents could only see the negatives. He saw the positives and so he knew how to sell it. Combined with a great auctioneer a great sale was made! Thank you, so much!

Matt was amazing from day one, knowing my situation he was on my side and wanted to help get me and my girls into our own home. Communication was awesome and if he couldn’t answer a question, he would find the answer asap. Would also reply to messages without delay. Auction day was scary and he stood by my side making sure I was doing what I needed to do. Thank you Matt for everything, you have made our dream come true and we can’t wait to move in.

It has been a long wait for us buying our house, as we sold our old one whilst we had our little trip to Australia. Matt has been with us for the past of 8 months whilst we have been looking for a house to make our home. It has not been easy and we have had our share of few mis-matched communication. However, one thing that strike us about Matt as the estate agent "He listens to you. He understands what you like and dislike, and chooses the properties based on your needs. He does not hassle you to buy any property." Smart, clever and gets the job done.
