Matt looked after selling my 3br home in St Ives. From the day I met Matt I was confident he was a polished well spoken agent. He attended our opens and connected well with the Asian and non Asian buyers and having that capability really works. All the way through he communicated perfectly and regularly - and just owned the buyer base. It was a harder sale because of the house but we got a great price and sold it in just 4 weeks. Matt made it all happen. I would use him again in a heartbeat. Read More
Matt is highly organised and worked tirelessly on the sale of our apartment. He was able to sell just prior to auction, being available whenever we needed to contact him. Thanks Matt! Details
Excellent Support. Matt was very understanding during my hardest moments, very supportive in getting me ready to move out and to get the property ready for the market. Bringing in William Chan (Director) and later Adam Butler has also strengthened the team not to forget Ellouise too. We highly recommend ChanYahl’s team and especially William and Matt for a well presented interview during our agency selection. Matt and the team has brought excellent results for us at auction. Thank you ChanYahl Read More
