Simply the Best! Professional, Genuine, Super Knowledgeable and Outstanding in Every Way!
Paula & Duff

We had an outstanding experience working with Matt as our property agent. From the very beginning, he was proactive, professional, and completely committed to achieving the best possible outcome for us.

What clearly stood out was how he genuinely had our best interests at heart. Matt is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the industry, but also a genuinely nice person with the best intentions, something that made the entire process feel easy and well-supported. He was always approachable, readily available, and quick to respond whenever we had questions or needed advice.

His expertise and strategic thinking gave us an enormous amount of confidence, and it was clear throughout that he truly knows the market inside out. Thanks to Matt, both the sale of our home and the purchase of our new one went smoothly, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

We are so glad we chose him and would rank him streets ahead of any other agent met or we’ve dealt through several property purchases. We highly recommend Matt in every way and thank him with all our heart for making this all happen so smoothly!!

Outstanding Knowledgeable and Personable Agent
Michael and Barbara Knight

He took a special interest in our property, he had tremendous, detailed knowledge of our area, wrote an excellent listing, kept us fully informed regularly. Was extremely helpful in assisting us in dealing with price negotiations. Achieved a sale within 1 month of listing in a difficult market. An outstanding agent!

Trusted Expertise That Transformed a Difficult Situation Into Success
Samantha Rutledge

We were unexpectedly impacted by a Notice of Requirement, which placed our mother’s home in a very stressful & difficult position, given the timing of our own personal circumstances. Matt provided clarity at a time when our family felt overwhelmed. The guidance we received around the process was exceptional, everything was explained in simple, practical terms, and we were given a clear path forward. Matt’s work was calm, consistent, & friendly. Offering confidence when other agents didn’t feel as such. No question went unanswered, no update was ever missed, and we always felt supported and informed. Thanks to Matt’s guidance and advocacy, we achieved an outcome far better than we anticipated. Our family is incredibly grateful for his dedication, professionalism, and care shown throughout the process. We couldn’t recommend Matt & his team more highly.

Matt’s knowledge of the market and the whole selling process was excellent. Very professional.
Lynn Jury

Matt is an excellent listener and communicator. He understood what I needed from the first meeting and always kept me informed during and after the sale. Matt has great knowledge and was able to smooth the way for me with anything I didn’t understand eg the paperwork and computer forms. He was calm and reassuring when small problems came up. I was very surprised and grateful to sell the house so quickly and for such a good price. I highly recommend Matt. It was reassuring to build up such trust. Nothing was too much. Thanks Matt.

Excellent
Lorraine Cross

Matt and his team were very professional and communication was excellent. I received notifications of sales etc from around the area each week. He phoned me to give me updates as well as guidance of the area in regards to my sale. I am an overseas vendor so I really relied on Matt and the team for information. Great outcome for myself and Matt.

Helpful with Purchasing
Daniel

Matt was very patient with us. Always kept up communication throughout the process and he worked hard to get the property sold whilst keeping us up to date at each step of the way. Thank you Matt it has been a pleasure.

His communication, advice and support throughout the process made it a breeze
Simon Anderson

We were so lucky to have the help of the team at Sotheby’s when buying our first home. Specifically Matthew, his communication, advice and support throughout the process made it a breeze. Highly recommend their services!

Kept us in the loop, gave great advice, and was super supportive
Ashlee Reid
We feel so lucky to have had the team at Sotheby’s by our side while buying our first home. Matt Wafer was amazing—he kept us in the loop, gave great advice, and was super supportive the whole way through. Honestly, we couldn’t have done it without him. Highly recommend!
A resourceful, qualified real estate agent
Postman Road Trust
We are grateful for the assistance Matt Wafer has provided us in achieving the successful
sale of our Postman Road property in 2024 at a price that met our expectations.
In 2023 we received confirmation from Auckland Transport and Waka Kotahi concerning
the Notice of Requirement that was to be placed on our property.
Given the semi industrial activity along Postman Road we investigated our options and
given our circumstances sought to sell the property. We received some inadequate offers
through another firm.
Following a phone call, we had a face to face conversation with Matt Wafer who suggested
a process he had researched which involved specific marketing of the property and using
the Public Works Act experience of Russell McVeagh.
Through Matt’s knowledge and professionalism he connected us with the necessary
experts, provided a strong marketing plan and maintained regular email and telephone
communication.
We found Matt to be professional, knowledgeable and would recommend him to anyone
needing a resourceful, qualified real estate agent willing to find a solution.
Great to work with, extremely knowledgeable
Victoria & Richard

Matthew was great to work with, extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the property. Both Matthew and Eva were incredibly accommodating to many out of hours viewings and access for various parties. Nothing was too much trouble and they made everything very easy. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matthew to any home owner looking to sell or buy. Thank you so much!

Great Agent
Jordan Cummings

I worked with Matthew on the sale of my home in Sunnynook, Matt is extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable! Couldn’t recommend Matt and the team highly enough!

Great work thanks Matt
Kirk Storie & Gillian Plume

We chose Matt to sell our rental property after meeting him and hearing his passion for his work. We had other choices that seemed more experienced but Matt had enthusiasm and energy that really impressed us. He was quietly confident and impressed with him ideas for marketing the property. It felt like the weeks flew by to the auction but we were constantly in communications with Matt and very happy with his guidance through the auction process. Well done Matt and thank you – a pleasure to work with you.

Prompt, professional and perfect results!
Jessica

From the very start, Matt kept us well informed and provided professional advice throughout so that we could make the most informed decision to suit our needs. We really appreciated Matt’s flexibility and were impressed how he was able to work around our busy working schedules with very early morning starts and late nights to get documents signed in time. If you are looking for a super friendly and approachable agent to make selling your property a stress-free experience Matt cannot come recommended enough!

Great agent that keeps you in the loop at every step
Jessica Simons

Matthew has been a fantastic agent to work with for us, both to buy from, and to sell with. He explained everything clearly before doing anything and gave us good advice and time to make the decisions that were the best for us. When selling with Matt, he kept in very regular contact about how the open homes were going, and the levels of interest and engagement in them and on the various marketing platforms used. He was also very flexible to ensure that we got the outcome that met our specific needs.

Great communication and extra effort
Rosina

Matthew was great to work with and always made sure to keep us informed about how the campaign was going. Nothing was too much trouble (not even mowing our lawn!)

Friendly, personable, helpful, easy to communicate with
Kerry

I am very pleased I chose Matt Wafer to sell my property. He was very friendly, personable, helpful, easy to communicate with at every step and responded to the changing and difficult market.

Matt was confident and knowledgeable and I believe got the best price he could for me in the changing market. I believe he had my best interests at heart along the way. I would highly recommend him and the team and would contact him again for any future real estate needs.

Always reassuring, hardworking and honest
Amy & Janek Fraser

We are so overwhelmingly thankful to Matt Wafer and the team at Wallace Stratton for getting the sale of our property across the line. We were recommended Matt at a time when selling our property had become crucial. Matt took extra time to build a relationship with us and was always reassuring, hardworking and honest with us and we navigated the highs and lows of the current market together. We felt listened to and heard throughout the entire process, which meant it was easy to trust him with the sale of our family home. We highly recommend Matt and the whole Wallace Stratton team to sell your home!!! They worked hard for us, they will work hard for you too!

Made every effort to obtain the best result for me
Debbie Griffin

Mathew was very helpful in all aspects of the campaign. It was during a period of changing / softening market conditions and Mathew was careful to keep me appraised of what the agents were finding in the market every week. He made every effort to obtain the best result for me, and I would likely contact him again in the future if I had more real estate transactions. Overall, very satisfied.

An excellent communicator
Chris & Sharyn

It’s with great pleasure that we are providing this reference for Matthew Wafer

Recently we made the decision to sell our rural property and we wanted to find the best agent to entrust the sales process. After interviewing numerous agents from a variety of real estate agencies we selected Matthew. Although we had some reservations due to his youthfulness, he won us over with his knowledge of rural properties and the local area, sales strategies, and his energy, enthusiasm and desire to achieve the best possible outcome for us.

Throughout the entire sales process, Matthew proved himself to be an excellent communicator, providing us with regular feedback and strategies for the next step. He listened well and incorporated our ideas into the sales process. Matthew worked tirelessly throughout the sales campaign to investigate all possible avenues following up any potential purchaser.

In our opinion, Matthew is an agent who is trustworthy, professional, hardworking, reliable and dedicated to achieving the best for his clients. His negotiating skills are exemplary and resulted in achieving us an excellent sales result. Matthew’s warm sense of humour and genuine interest in our family, made the entire sales process as stress free as possible.

We would not hesitate in recommending him to any future clients who want the best agent and outcome. We would happily employ Matthew’s services again and wish him all the best in the future.

Always had our interests at heart
Peter & Margy

Over the past six weeks, Matt has worked closely with us to both purchase a new house and sell our old one.

The sale of our old house was made hugely less stressful by Matt’s support, professionalism and obvious knowledge of his industry. The quality of the sales material was outstanding, we were always kept fully informed about what was happening, and the house sold in double quick time. Matt always had our interests at heart and made sure that we got a good price for the house. He understood our constraints and wishes, and consistently gave us very sound advice.

Even as a buyer, we found Matt very supportive and professional, representing his vendors in a proper manner while supporting us in the purchase process.

Thanks Matt for treating us with so much respect, for making our purchase and sale much more enjoyable experiences than we’ve previously had, and for the confidence that you gave us that we were in good hands.

Both of us would strongly recommend Matt to anyone wanting to sell their property.

Prepared to listen carefully to our wants and needs
Paul & Carole

Meeting Matt was a great thing for my wife and I as we found a person who was prepared to listen carefully to our wants and needs.

Matt was the third agent we met and simply did not compare to the others due to his calibre as a person and real estate professional. It was always clear to us that Matt would be working for us at all times – that he would represent our interests fulsomely throughout the sales process. So it proved when Matt negotiated our sale with purchasers whose needs he also knew.

Matt is thorough and punctual and treats people with respect and listens like a wise person with a far older head on his shoulders. We can only recommend him to any serious seller or purchaser. Matt knows and loves the industry he is in and has sound personal and professional ethics and ambitions.

We say, thank you Matt for representing us and finding a satisfied purchaser of our property.

The process was so professional and seamless
Warwick & Mozelle

We recently sold our house in Gulf Harbour. The agent who achieved this sale for us was Matt Wafer.

Our journey with Matt began in mid-December when Matt phoned us asking if we were thinking of selling our property in Dairy Flat as he had a buyer looking for a property in the area. We were not in the market at that stage but we were very impressed with Matt’s approach. Shortly thereafter our tenants in our rental property gave notice and we decided to sell that property. We approached Matt about selling this property and listed the property with him.

From the first meeting, he made us feel very positive and secure that we would be looked after. The process was so professional and seamless. He is very easy to deal with but at the same time got the job done promptly and made sure our expectations were met.

We would highly recommend him.

Enthusiasm, knowledge and willingness
Denise & Steven

I would not hesitate in recommending Matt to any vendor. His enthusiasm, knowledge and willingness to help vendor in all aspects in the current market place.

By far the best of the bunch
Chantel Melissa & James

We had a fantastic experience with Matt as our real estate agent. He was professional, friendly and really went above and beyond to get our house sold. We have sold a few houses in the past with other agencies and Matt was by far the best of the bunch. Matt was always in contact to give us updates about prospective purchasers, other sales in the area, any enquires he had regarding our property as well as providing a comprehensive weekly overview after each open home. We would absolutely recommend Matt to anybody looking for a fantastic real estate agent, and in fact, we did recommend him to my in-laws, and he sold their house too after they had previously listed unsuccessfully with a different agency. We couldn’t recommend Matt more highly. Thanks again Matt for a stellar job with our house sale.

Would use him again without any hesitation
Rosalind

If you are looking for an exceptionally hard working agent that prioritises your situation as an owner first, then I couldn’t recommend anyone better than Matthew. His service, professionalism, knowledge and skills were second to none as he was able to get my home sold under the unique circumstances that many would have failed upon.

Matthew’s energy, confidence, character and willingness to work around diverse situations were nothing short of remarkable. For someone that is all about doing the absolute best job for their clients, I would highly recommend Matthew and would use him again without any hesitation.

For all agents that are about the fee, it was a real relief to have an agent that was, over anything else, solely focused on his client and working to achieve the best possible result.

Worked hard for all parties
Philip

We have worked with Matt on two sales recently and have found him to be professional at all times, positive and solutions focused. Our second sale has some major complications outside of the agent’s control. Matt worked hard for all parties to resolve the situation and the deal was able to proceed. I can recommend Matt without hesitation.

Completely professional, respectful and refreshing
Suzy

Matt has been absolutely on to it – immediately. His email was excellent informative and prompt. Matt has a very professional manner and has conveyed respect for our family and our situation. Matt is truly a credit to your company. May I also say on behalf of Craig, I and my parents you have truly surprised us, each of you has a very courteous manner and your service has been completely professional, respectful and refreshing and we ALL have been very impressed.

Thank you again.

Genuinely helpful real estate agents
Sheenan & Brad

We would have no hesitation in recommending Ben and Matt to anyone looking for professional, friendly, down to earth, genuinely helpful real estate agents who know their stuff. They always put in the extra effort to keep us informed and assist with whatever we needed to know. We found Ben and Matt to be very knowledgeable, he was always up to date with the latest info about council changes in our area and his recommendation for our marketing plan and the way it was followed through was perfect for our property. Matt in addition also helped us to find our new house. His enthusiasm and perseverance in assisting us were very much appreciated and his negotiation skills were invaluable. Thanks to both for making our sale and purchase experience a pleasant one.

We highly recommend you to anyone
Matt & Annelize

Dear Matt

Thank you for contributing confidence and composure to our otherwise chaotic house selling journey (with a toddler and a baby)!

We highly recommend you to anyone who want to put the sale & marketing of their property, into safe & capable hands.

You have been honest, professional, confident, friendly & warm throughout the process.

You were confident about the value of our house and the marketing strategy you presented was spot-on!

Thank you also for your flexibility around inspections and open homes, taking our stage of life into account.

Your enthusiasm and love for what you do is evident and you are a top notch real estate agent.

Amazing efforts, easy-going nature and attention to detail
Lincoln & Juliet Davies

As a family who doesn’t move often, we are very grateful to have found a fantastic real estate professional in Matthew and a wonderful new home. Matthew was very helpful, and patient, as we have navigated our way through the acquisition of a rural property and all that this entails. Through his amazing efforts, easy-going nature and attention to detail, we quickly came to trust and rely on him to help get the job done. Without a doubt, we would recommend getting in touch with Matthew if you are thinking of buying or selling real estate.

Kept us well informed and provided professional advice

Very professional and thorough in everything
Terry & Ploni

Matt & Ben did an amazing job assisting us with the sale of our Dairy Flat lifestyle property.

5 weeks from start to finish, with a great outcome at auction.

Matt & Ben were very professional and thorough in everything they did, and kept us well informed during the sales process.

Have no hesitation in highly recommending these 2 for anyone contemplating selling or buying property.

Really happy with the service and the result of the sale
Ben

During the sale of my mothers home I have found Matt to be diligent, and available to answer any questions at a moments notice. He is professional and thoughtful in all his dealing and us and potential buyers, but that was never at the cost of his good humour and kindness. I was really happy with the service and the result of the sale.
