It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation for Matt at Your Property Hound. My wife and I are based in Brisbane and believed we were in a position to easily secure a property ourselves. However after spending 9 months unsuccessfully attempting to secure our forever family home, we decided to engage Matt’s services. Matt was essentially a scientist and true buyer’s advocate – a refreshing change after spending months dealing with real estate agents. I quickly realised I could be completely open with Matt and trust his judgement.
If it were not for Matt we would not have secured our dream home. We fell in love with a property going to auction that was being marketed as a ‘potential bargain’. Had we went in alone under this false pretence, we would have attended the auction unprepared, left extremely disappointed, and daunted by the prospect of starting the search again. Instead, Matt provided us with extensive information on the market, provided us with an appraisal, and also explained likely scenarios given the large amount of interest on the property. Because of this information we were able to enter the auction a lot more informed and prepared than other bidders. Matt bid strategically on our behalf and this gave us the extra edge over the 22 other registered bidders. In the end he secured the property for us within $3,000 of his prediction for a high-bidder scenario.
Needless to say we are extremely happy with Matt. Even though we are locals, we will have no hesitation engaging his services again should we purchase another property in the future.
