  I recently had the opportunity to work with Matt while selling a property in Wantirna South, and I was very impressed with his professionalism and dedication. As a buyer’s advocate, he was highly proactive, asking all the right questions and ensuring his clients had a thorough understanding of the property.
  Matt is a great communicator, always clear, responsive, and professional in his approach. His commitment to his clients was evident throughout the process, and he worked hard to secure the best outcome for them.
  It was a pleasure working with him, and I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a responsible and diligent buyer’s advocate.

  First and foremost, Matt and Tess make a fantastic team and would highly recommend them!
  Being overseas and looking for a home that we will be returning to Melbourne to live in, it would be near impossible for us to carry out all the inspections, arrange building and pest inspections, contract reviews and then going to auction - and these are only some of the aspects of the whole process of purchasing a house.
  We would say our requirements in our house would have also made the search harder for them, but they respected what we were after, gave us sound advice and helped us along the whole way until they secured "the one" for us.
  Their knowledge and experience are invaluable to anyone looking to purchase with them. You can be confident that you have chosen the right team.
  Thanks Matt and Tess for never giving up, even when we were losing hope ourselves.

  I had a really great experience working with Matt and Tess at Adobe. Whole process was super professional from start to finish—smooth, easy, organized, and strategic. They’re true professionals on the search and absolute masters at the auction! What would normally be a stressful and time-consuming process felt effortless, with the added confidence of knowing I was working with experts who really know their area. Would highly recommend.
• Virginia Kelly ★★★★★
  As buyers new to Melbourne's property market from overseas we didn't know what we didn't know and finding Matt was the best thing to happen to us in the search for our first home here.
  We can't thank Matt enough. In fact, it's clear to us we would not have had success purchasing the house we wanted without his sage advice, deep xperience of the Melbourne market, and strategic thinking.
  Matt's transparency, great communication skills, endless patience with our many questions, and accessibility - he got back to us quickly at all times - gave us the confidence he had our backs. We highly recommend Matt. He'll have your back, too.

  Matt and Tess at Above Advocacy Group were fantastic as buyers agents. Before contacting them, my wife and I were unsure of what to do to buy a house and the thought of going it alone seemed like a daunting series of difficult or impossible tasks. From our first meeting with Matt, it was clear that he had a wealth of experience in the property market, representing both buyers and sellers, and
  that he took very seriously all of the various important aspects in finding a property that would suit our needs for the decades to come.
  Matt and Tess both worked very hard to find a suitable property for us with daily updates on the search. Once they found a place that we really liked, they ensured that we were the ones that bought it. It only took about a month from starting the search to signing the contract on the house. They also put us in contact with their suggested building inspector, conveyancer, and mortgage broker who all made the process as smooth and easy as possible. In the end, we got a fantastic house that was far better than we would have imagined possible at the start of the process.

  The best investment you’ll make - From the moment we met Matt, the level of service provided by him and Tess was exceptional.
  There was frequent and detailed communication in a shared WhatsApp group, as well as tracking of both on-market and off-market properties using Monday.com. We always felt like we were in good hands.
  Matt and Tess found a property we initially thought was out of reach. Through their diligence and expertise, we learned that this was not the case.
  In the span of three days, we received a video walkthrough of the property from Matt, inspected ourselves and then ultimately purchased this property at a price we were extremely happy with. We couldn’t have done this without Matt and Tess.
  Thanks again team. We’ll be happily recommending you to anybody who might be looking for a buyers agent.

  I had an excellent experience dealing with Matt on the purchase of a property on Cape Street in Heidleberg. His communication throughout made for a smooth negotiation with both buyer and vendor happy with the end result. I would recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy!
• David Stewart ★★★★★
  I have recently had the opportunity to collaborate on an Auction listing with Matt and the Abode team for a property in Croydon HIlls. I found Matt and Tess to be consummate professionals and they absolutely provided a critical conduit between the agents, owners and the market. The preparation of the home was 1st class and Matt and Tess were immediately responsive to our questions. Matt's understanding of the market and in particular, the Auction method of sale, meant that the campaign was a stunning success.

  We are incredibly grateful to the team at abode for their exceptional guidance in our first home purchase. We were determined to find a home and abode made it happen!
  Their expertise in the local market was invaluable. They understood our needs and preferences perfectly, and presented us with a range of options that fit our criteria. Their negotiation skills were outstanding, and we are thrilled with the final purchase price.
  The entire process was made smoother and less stressful thanks to abode's constant support and clear communication. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking to buy a home. Thanks Matt and Tess!!
• Erin Hynson ★★★★★
  It was a pleasure to work with Abode on another property transaction this year. After a positive experience purchasing with Abode last year, I engaged them as my advocate for a sale this year. Matt gave me advice on preparing my property before it went on the market, he clearly outlined the strategy and the steps we would follow in the sales process and has been by my side every step of the way. Matt’s knowledge of the market and the industry and his strong guidance throughout paved the way for a successful outcome. I felt that Matt was always representing my best interests and our open dialog enabled a largely stress free experience. I wouldn’t buy or sell another property without engaging someone like Abode.

  Such a professional service.
  We can't recommend them highly enough and will use them again without a moment's hesitation.
  We wanted independent guidance on to how best to present, then sell our home - which is by far our biggest asset.
  Matt, Tess and team provided expert and timely advice throughout the process, separating the important stuff from all the distractions that can derail you.
  Our agent was expertly managed and finally we had an excellent result, well exceeding our expectations.
  Be confident that if you use Abode you'll be in great hands.
• Alison Oshaughnessy ★★★★★
  I've had 2 close family members use Abode Advocacy Group in the last 12 months and their professionalism, expertise and service was exceptional and well beyond our expectations.
  Buying a property is such a huge investment and there are so many things that can go wrong. If you're not familiar with checking for structural issues with the property or if you don't feel confident about reading contracts, or negotiating with the selling agent over price and terms of sale, then I strongly recommend using Abode.
  Matt, Tess and Victoria were all excellent. There was no such thing as a dumb question, and the follow up service is brilliant. They made sure the transition between properties, such as suitable settlement dates, was as seamless as possible.
  Both of my relatives believe their service was great value for money and the best protection for their biggest investment. I would certainly use them for any future purchases.
• Anne Keogh ★★★★★
  Thanks Matt!! We chose Matt from Abode Advocacy to help us sell our house in Vermont. He had helped us buy and sell two previous homes over the last 15 years.
  As we knew he was reliable and trustworthy he was the obvious choice to help with our next sale. Although the auction didn’t result in a sale on the day, Matt and the team work tirelessly to get our house sold over the next two weeks.
  48 hours later he managed to negotiate the purchase of an off market property for us as well. So excited for our next adventure and extremely happy with the service Matt provided us again.
• Jade Springer ★★★★★
  We were recently selected by Matt from Abode Advocacy Group to help with the sale of his clients property at 72 Valley Drive, Rye. Matt and the team at Abode were a pleasure to deal with.
  We worked well as a team to ensure a great result for our client. Together we where able to sell Valley Drive above the asking price a week after the Auction. We highly recommend Matt if you're looking for a Buyers/Sales Advocate.
• Leondra Petrongolo ★★★★★
  I believe it’s a universal understanding that selling a home is up there with the top lifetime stressors.
  My husband and I engaged Matthew to be our advocate for the sale of our home. Can’t underestimate the value of engaging an advocate, when dealing with agents and the pressure experienced throughout the journey. Matthew supported, advocated and firmly guided us all the way. Communication from Matthew was continuous and he provided reassurance when we felt the most unsure.
  Many, many thanks to Matthew from Abode Advocacy Group.
  Worth noting - we also had a great outcome with the sale of our home.

  Matt from Abode Advocacy Group recently supported us to purchase a house. He ascertained our needs well, sourced building inspections and gently advised on decision making. The people he introduced us to provided excellent service and ensured that all due diligence was attended to. Matt ensured that we were well informed, and importantly, we felt that our needs were met in a caring and considerate manner. I would highly recommend this service.
• Jessica Occleston ★★★★★
  We had a great experience working with Dion and Matt. Being time poor, it was amazing to have someone on our side viewing properties for us, providing advice, and liaising with agents. Communication was excellent with regular updates and quick responses to queries. We never once had to chase them up.We were very happy with the service provided and wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again next time.
• Jacquie Green ★★★★★
  Apparently buying and selling property are two of life’s most stressful events. That most definitely was not our recent experience and without a doubt, that’s thanks to Matt and Dion. We had ultimate peace of mind knowing that Abode were focused on only the best outcome for us, which they delivered not once but twice as they helped us to buy and then sell.Thanks Abode for the straight talking, great advice, rock-solid connections and invaluable knowledge of how the real estate game is played.I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend that you have them on your team as buyers advocate, vendor advocate or both.
• Simmo Green ★★★★★
  Best decision we made was to engage an advocate and for it to be Abode. Dion and Matt have been nothing short of sensational - from the knowledge, strategy, connections, patience and advice. They have great connections with real estate agents and we definitely felt like they were on our team and had our best interests at heart. Highly highly recommend!!!!
• Rohan Calder ★★★★★
  Working with Abode Advocacy was an absolute pleasure. Matt & Dion are true professionals working closely with their client and advising them perfectly at every step of the campaign. We had a terrific experience representing them in the sale of a beautifully renovated home in Blackburn. Again from the advice of the team at Abode, preparing the home for sale and working with our team to deliver an exceptional result on auction day! Thanks again, Rohan Calder @ Noel Jones
• Natasha Hibberd ★★★★★
  Trust is a word used loosely. After working with Dion and Matt for well over a year as a supplier, I can honestly say that they have consistently acted with integrity and in the interests of their clients when they engage us. Together with their experience, this authenticity and genuine care for their clients is incredibly valuable. Completely trustworthy. Strongly recommended.

  Matt Scafidi has been involved with and discussing the developing of my property for a few years now. Always communicative, touching base, professional and available to take my calls & emails. Over the weekend he took control of our auction and SOLD the property over the reserve price. Record price for a unit development in our area. Very grateful and thankful to Matt and his company. Highly recommended.
