We were very impressed with the professional, sensitive support we received from Richard, Vivek and the team at Richard Matthews Real Estate. The whole sale process was fully explained which made the experience painless. The market knowledge shown by the whole team was impressive and we achieved the result as was expected from the start.

Richard has restored our faith in real estate agents!

Richard has restored our faith in real estate agents! Nothing was too much trouble, he turned up when he said he would, went over and above to make sure we were ready for market and he sold our house for us really quickly at a good price.

Dealing with Richard and the entire team was an absolute pleasure. A proactive individual who is committed and genuinely invested in getting the vendor the best possible result and outcome. His service and communication was fantastic with regular updates and meetings throughout the campaign was very reassuring and we could not have asked for more. Highly recommend using Richard.

Professional, knowledgeable and charismatic agent.

Richard has an affable personality and immediately makes you feel comfortable and in good hands. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the business and being a local and neighbour was a another reason to go with him. His drive and enthusiasm for his job is amazing and this was noticeable every time we met. He kept me up to date every week and after each open inspection and his auctioneering talents are something to behold!! He thrives on the buzz of auction days and excels to another level. I would definitely recommend Richard and his incredible team to anyone wishing to sell their property. Thank you Richard and all your team for a wonderful job in selling my house!!!

This is the Real Estate Team you want. Thanks to Ken Miyagawa of Richard Matthews Sydney, we sold! Acknowledgement and Thanks to Matthew Everingham because after it all, this was a Team effort. From beginning to end of the sale process, Ken and the Richard Matthews team presented themselves with enthusiasm, hunger, energy and drive to list and sell our property. They showed being chosen to sell our property was a privilege to them. Ken and team are fresh, young minded, well presented and in my opinion push the "old, stuffy and arrogance" out of the real estate industry. There was no laziness or complacency found here. Throughout the process, Ken provided more communication than found on a battleship, was direct, personable and continually provided feedback as it came to hand. Ken will not leave you guessing and was easily accessible throughout. We chose Ken and his team to sell our property because of the reasons above after observing their work during our research phase. Ken and team delivered. I highly recommend speaking to them about your property needs. Thanks again.

An incredible, professional and hardworking agent. Hi Vivek, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the amazing campaign that you ran. From our very first meeting you showed us such professionalism, enthusiasm and transparency. Your work ethic is second to none and we were absolutely amazed at the informative communication you provided us. We know you worked around the clock to not only meet but also exceed our expectations. The auction ran so smoothly and we had endless neighbours and friends comment on what an amazing team and campaign you guys provided. We know your great knowledge of the market area and excessive database helped us to exceed our goal. Please pass on our gratitude to Jesse, Joe, Richard and the entire team. We can’t wait for the next project together!

An expert in his field. We couldn’t be happier with Jackson Cox of Richard Matthews Real Estate. He has been there every step of the way. Jackson is incredibly easy to talk to, very patient and very understanding of his clients' needs and he is fun to work with. He is very honest and trustworthy as well and we felt completely comfortable taking his advice because we knew he was sincere. He was available anytime we needed him and that included evenings and weekends. He was truly "on call" for us and made us feel important and valued as clients. He kept in constant contact with the family, continually updating us during the campaign. We wish we could find some criticism to help him better himself in his career, but there is honestly nothing that he could have done differently or better for us. His professionalism, mentorship, knowledge, honesty, and hard work ethic are much respected and appreciated. We would highly recommend Jackson to any prospective property seller.

Simply Outstanding. Mai is a incredible sales woman whom sells your property as if it was hers. She works tirelessly 7 days a week to really get it sold. This was my second property Mai sold for me and incredibly enough she sold this one in 2 days off market. No other agent came close in getting the numbers I achieved in this sale. Highly recommend Mai from team Richard Mathews to look after your precious property if you were thinking to have it sold. Rest assure she will work so hard for the seller. Once again Thank you Mai for your Golden service.
