I am not in the habit of writing reviews online. Until now. My review of Matt O'Donoghue from Waterman's has been done voluntarily. That's how impressed I've been. Living interstate and wanting to re-locate to Adelaide, looking for a suitable property at arm's length became virtually impossible. It took me a year of fruitless searching ,spending a fortune on air fares, not to mention the frustration, disappointment and stress to realise that I couldn't do it alone. Then someone mentioned using a Buyer's Advocate, and that's where Matt O'Donoghue came in. Suddenly I had someone on the spot in Adelaide representing me. All for a flat fee. No commissions, no vested interests. I can't begin to tell you of Matt's extreme professionalism, honesty, patience (he needed that!) and understanding, not to mention access to off-market properties and background information I'd never source myself. Then he found me my dream home! It went up for auction, with Matt bidding on my behalf and communicating with me by phone, every step of the way. I have never experienced negotiating skills like Matt's. And we bought it! What else can I say? Yvonne Grant, Sydney.

We’ve had a positive experience with Waterman Property Management managing several of our rental properties. Their team has consistently been efficient, organised, approachable and highly knowledgeable across every interaction. What stands out most is the genuine care they show in what is ultimately a people business. Professionalism combined with a personal approach really makes a difference. Highly recommend Waterman Property Management to anyone looking for a reliable and well-managed property team.

Saw Chris Waterman at the Coast FM open day, where he had a stand and enquired about his services regarding buying a property. Within a couple of weeks his buyers agent Matt O'Donoghue found a lovely off market 3 bedroom homette at a decent price. Matt was in complete contact during the entire time doing all the dirty work so my wife and myself didn't have to do anything...he did it all. Would certainly use again without hesitation.

Terrible experience trying to secure a property with this. Navigating the rental market from another state is stressful enough, but this agency made it unnecessarily difficult. Despite providing all necessary references and financial documentation, they refused to offer any flexibility for out-of-st...

Very happy with the team at Waterman. Have been dealing with Kelly and Bianca for a few years now and they have always been outstanding to deal with. Clear, responsive communication and always go the extra mile. Highly recommend.

When Kelly was the only prospective agent who followed me up more than once, I wondered if her amazing service would continue when she became our property manager, and I'm please to say, I was just surprised by her and her team - again. Before Waterman Property management became our agent in Adelai...

Never looked back! After switching from another property Manager to Waterman Property Management we never looked back until we sold the unit a decade later. Kelly and her team treated our property as it would be her own. Kelly's eye for detail is exceptional and her professional service, communica...
