After nearly 10 years living in the UK, Mat returned to New Zealand and cut his teeth in the housing market as a property trader and investor. His involvement on the board of his local investors association has given him an edge to get ahead in real estate. Mat was trained to “eat agents for breakfast” at the negotiation table, making offers on multiple properties some weeks. Now having spent over a decade on the other side of the fence as a salesperson himself, he brings these lessons into mastering the art of closing the deal. Focused on marketing that gets you maximum results, negotiating on your behalf to leverage on those results, and using his sense of humour that (although terrible according to his kids) gets a smile on the odd occasion. Getting buyers to the “yes” is all in a days work.
