Speaking as a tennant that rented through Matthew Realestate. Everyone on their team are so lovely and so easy to talk to. They respond in a timely mannor and handle maintence issues quickly. They were very reasonable with us in our exit report and apartment cleaning. They do not try to scam you with dodgy realeststate tactics as I have been a victim of by other companies as a tennant. Definitely highly recommend renting through them.

Mine and my girlfriends experience with Matthews Real Estate could not be described in any way other than great. Sheryl took genuine care and concern regarding our situation, and helped us smoothly transition into our new rental. The team is highly responsive and it has been an all round positive experience for us. Thank you Sheryl and the team at Matthews!

After living in the same rental property for 19 years that had just sold to a developer, I was in a situation where I was having to look for a new home. I was quick to discover how different the rental market was to 20 years ago, very competitive. I visited a few realestate agents only to be given a flyer and told to look online. After booking many inspections and completing many applications, I was only receiving negative responses. I was at the point of thinking I was never going to find a property. I was driving along Ipswich road when I spotted Matthews Real Estate. I thought will probably

Tenant with Matthews for nearly 8 years. During the whole time the Matthews team were very professional, friendly and reasonable. We needed to break lease and the property manager Sara Skinner was more than obliging, helping us through the process and secure a new tenant quickly.
