We had been house hunting since August last year and we were struggling to find the right fit that was in our budget. After missing out on a dream house late last year, and starting a new job I was at breaking point having to look at countless property’s and do due diligence only to miss out. We had been thinking about a buyers agent for awhile, and was referred to Abode from another BA (who worked in a different area).Matt called us right after we sent off an enquiry on their website and booked us in for an in person catch up early the following week, even coming in bright and early on a Monday morning to meet us prior to our work schedules.We walked out of that meeting and knew straight away Abode was the perfect fit for us.Matt was professional, calm and provided us with great clarity without being pushy.Once signing on we received great communication throughout and felt like they truely wanted to understand what we wanted and it was never an issues or annoyance if something wasn’t the right fit.Once Dion returned from his break, we worked very closely with him attending countless opens, it felt like he truly wanted to get an understanding of what we wanted. It was great to have virtual inspections sent to us when we couldn’t attend, Dion would give us his honest thoughts as to if it was worth pursuing or not and helped give us the guidance we needed. It felt like nothing was ever a hassle for Dion, and we felt like we were catching up with a trusted friend. We are so grateful he found us an off market property to inspect which aligned with many criteria and a great location. He acted very quickly with the turn around time which meant we were able to secure the property at a great price.We are so grateful to Dion and the Abode team for helping us throughout the whole process. I think we will miss seeing Dion on the weekends (especially Jayden!) but so grateful not to be house hunting anymore.If you’re on the fence about engaging with Abode, I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Working with Abode Buyers Advocacy, Matt & Tess, was one of the best decisions we made during our property search. From the very beginning, the team didn't just ask about our property requirements, they took the time to genuinely understand what we were looking for and why. They proactively searched the market, engaged directly with selling agents, and identified opportunities we would have struggled to uncover ourselves. They conducted inspections on our behalf and, when we couldn't attend, provided detailed video walkthroughs with insightful commentary, giving us confidence that we weren't missing out on anything. After each property, they collated feedback and observations that helped us refine our search and narrow down our options. What really stood out was that it never felt like they were simply trying to find us a property. Their focus was on helping us find the right property. We started with a broad range of possibilities, but within a few weeks we had refined our criteria, identified the right home, and successfully had our offer accepted. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. Buying property can be stressful and overwhelming, particularly if you're unfamiliar with the process or market dynamics. Abode helped drive the entire process while ensuring we remained informed, supported and comfortable with every decision. Their guidance, expertise and advocacy provided enormous value during what is one of the biggest investments most people will ever make. I would highly recommend Abode Buyers Advocacy to anyone looking for expert support and a genuinely client-focused approach to finding the right property.

It was great to deal with Matt whilst he was working with his client to purchase their next home. Im sure his clients would have been very greatful to have him looking after them. As the selling agent we were always kept informed throughout the whole process.

Matt and Tess were incredible to work with. From the first call, Matt understood exactly who I was and what mattered to me.

Loved working with Matt and Tess! We are over in Perth and a friend recommended us to use them, they were print at finding homes that suited what we were looking for - they looked at around 13 homes and sent great videos and personal opinions on what we should do. One contract fell through and we d...
