What’s your personal connection to the neighbourhood?

I was born and raised in the Inner West and still live here with my own family. I’m the third generation in my family to reside locally, and I grew up riding around these streets, playing at local sporting clubs and attending local schools. Helping others move within or into this pocket of Melbourne feels like a privilege.

What do your clients commonly say you do differently?

Clients are often surprised by how easy and smooth we can make the process feel. I draw on a decade of real estate experience and a lifetime of local knowledge to minimise stress and create the strongest possible result. My aim is always to give clear guidance and calm confidence.

What are some core values you live by?

Honesty, integrity and respect are central to how I work. I was raised with a strong work ethic, and I leave no stone unturned to make sure clients have the best possible experience. Being transparent with everyone I deal with is extremely important to me.

Why Buxton?

I love being part of an award-winning brand with so many high-performing offices and individuals across the network. Buxton’s reputation helps attract quality people to the team, which ultimately allows us to give clients a better real estate experience.

Matthew's reputation as a leading agent in the Inner West is thoroughly deserved.

I would be recommending Matthew and the team to anyone thinking of selling.

Not once did I feel pressured to commit to an offer. Even when Matt went on leave, Peter stepped in and delivered a fantastic result. Would recommend anyone to work with your team! Don’t let sales commission be a deciding factor if the sale price is going to make the difference, which it will.

We couldn’t have asked for a more positive selling journey. It’s always a nerve wracking and emotional journey selling a family home. The main thing that made the journey positive was that we felt listened to in terms of what was important to us, and Matt took it all on board, providing some great suggestions. We trusted his advice along the way, pivoting our approach a couple times on that advice, and the end result was exactly what we’d hope for. Thanks again Matt!

Louise G

Spotswood

This is the second time we have sold with Matt as he has a strong understanding of the local market. Through the campaign Matt was able to bring through people from similar properties who hadn’t previously considered our property. It was not a good time to sell and our house was on the market for longer than expected. During this time it wasn’t always easy to get in contact with Matt, but when we did speak, he always had a clear plan and recommended options for proceeding.

From start to finish, the process was handled with professionalism, care, and exceptional local knowledge. I would highly recommend entrusting your sale in Matt & his team.

Matt recently sold our home at Maidstone, and we’re really pleased with the outcome. We first met him two years ago and were impressed by his time, care, and market knowledge. While he’s understandably much busier now—being one of the top agents in the area—he still delivered with professionalism, clear communication, and a strong result. We felt in good hands throughout and would confidently recommend him to others.

This is the 2nd time I have used Matthew to sell a property - first to sell my home in Yarraville in Dec 2024, and now in March 2026 to sell my elderly parents’ home in Seddon. Both sales went well above the reserve. Selling a house is stressful, yet Matthew and his team at Buxton manage everything and make this emotional time easier. I cannot speak highly enough of Matthew - he is a consummate professional, warm and easy to communicate with, and has outstanding local property market knowledge.

We weren’t sure if now was the right time to sell as the market didnt seem like it was great and we had renters in the property, so Matthew recommended to try the off market process first. He showed a few potential buyers through the property and within the same week we had sold well above what we were expecting! Matthew showed genuine care for us, he was always available and kept us updated daily and we felt in such safe hands the whole time. Thank you so much to Matthew, Jess

Here to help

Your Buxton agent will cover the details - here’s a clear view of what an appraisal involves.

We approach appraisals as a practical conversations, grounded in real data, local insight and what matters most to you.

Speak to us

Your Buxton agent visits your property, considers its features, location, and market conditions, and combines that with recent sales data to give you a clear, realistic view of its value.

We analyse comparable properties, current market trends, and your home’s unique qualities. From there, we provide a considered range that reflects what buyers are likely to pay.

Not at all. An appraisal is simply insight - a way to understand your home’s value and your options before making any decisions.

Typically, we recommend an in-person appraisal so we can assess your property fully. In some cases, a virtual appraisal can provide a helpful initial guide.

Agents weigh factors differently - recent sales, market conditions, and property features. At Buxton, we combine local insight, data, and experience to provide a balanced, realistic appraisal you can trust.
