  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.

  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.

  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 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.

  Matt, Victoria & Tess were great to deal with. Streamlined communication throughout the whole team & direct negotiations. Would definitely recommend to any clients looking to purchase their next home or investment property.

The entire team were friendly, knowledgeable & had their clients best interest in mind at all times.

  Matt and the Abode team made our home-buying experience a breeze! From the moment we decided to work with Matt to the purchase of our first home at auction, it took less than a week! Matt was incredibly proactive, attending open inspections, speaking with real estate agents, organising a building and pest inspection, and preparing a property report in just a couple of days.
  His strategy and approach at the auction were spot-on, and we walked away with the house of our dreams at our very first auction! We couldn't have done it without Matt. If you're considering a buyer's agent, Matt is your man! Matt and the Abode team saved us so much time and potential heartache in missing out on properties.
  Thank you so much, Matt!

  I have dealt with Abode Advocacy Group and Matt Scafidi, who has helped me with selling 15 homes as well as a recent land purchase in both capacity of agent and most recently advocate, over the past 15+ years.
  Their are many reasons I keep circling back to Matt and his team; he’s honest, direct, transparent, trustworthy and has always delivered. On a personal level - he’s a great guy and I can truly say I’ve appreciated all the help he has provided to myself over the years. Great operator, communicator and he has a great business.
  I would not hesitate to recommend him personally and the advocacy services he provides for your real estate requirements.

  During the sale of a unit in Kew East, Matt was a pleasure to deal with during the campaign from start to finish. His knowledge placed him in good stead to represent his client in the best manner possible. With experience as a sales agent, Matt knew the precise and relevant questions to ask. He was always on time and would respond to and return any calls without fail.
  Matt would also take the initiative and seek out further information on his own accord to perform the Due Diligence on behalf for his client. To either verify any information that was provided from us or attain any other details required.
  His strong tactical performance on Auction day enabled his happy client to secure the property.
  I would highly recommend Matt Scafidi’s services to potential buyers who are time poor, lacking experience or need that extra edge to secure a desired property. Matt will filter and do the hard yards to make the buying process as smooth as possible and ensure that any client is well looked after.
• Julia M ★★★★★ 5 months ago
  I engaged Matt from Abode Advocacy to act as my buyers agent. My experience with Matt and the team was really seamless. I had been looking for a house for many months and continued to miss out on securing the property. They managed the process from start to finish. By moving swiftly I was able to purchase my property within three weeks of engaging them.
• Kate Kohne ★★★★★ 6 months ago
  Sincere thanks Matt to you and your team at ABODE ADVOCACY GROUP for all your help during what was a stressful time selling our sisters home . Your expertise in the field made it easy for us as you explained what needed to be done but you were never pushy. We certainly would not have got the results we did if we had gone alone. We were updated constantly on progress, if we had queries they were answered in a timely manner. We would certainly recommend ABODE to anyone selling their home. Thank you. Kate Kohne
• Nicole Gervasi ★★★★★ 6 months ago
  We speak really highly of Matt & Abode Advocacy Group. We collaborated together on a sale in Essendon and at all times he was extremely professional, shared an array of experience and knowledge and acted as a solid extra set of hands - all the while as a leader and not as a competitor.
  We will always recommend this firm for those that require their services - both for Vendor Advocacy & Buyer Advocacy.
  At all times he treated our entire team with the same respect and passion. Matt’s genuine nature is a rare find in this industry.
  Huge amount of experience and what a great business he has grown from his sensational reputation.
  We will always watch this firm grow, expand and continue to succeed as leaders in this space & we sincerely look forward to future work together.

  Matt and the team were absolutely amazing during my experience buying my first home. Their expertise, guidance and contacts were invaluable and absolutely worth every cent. During the 2 months they worked with me, they worked tirelessly, doing the work and due diligence I know I didn’t have the time, energy or experience to do myself. I would 100% recommend Abode Advocacy Group for any home buyer.
• Steven Bell ★★★★★ 6 months ago
  We really appreciated having Matt and his team in our corner while we were making decisions about property. The information given was always clear and helpful, and through the total journey they have always been there to assist us. We are far from experts in the field so the deep realestate knowledge that they bring, along with a willingness to share what they know, gave us a lot of confidence along the way. Fast access to legal and building assessment was also something we could not have achieved on our own, and the thorough process that they go through to assess the property gave us the confidence we needed to make our decisions. I would highly recommend Abode Advocacy Group for any property purchase
• Dean H ★★★★★ 6 months ago
  Matt and the team were great in our pursuit for a family home to live in. We had some very specific criteria, and they were attentive and excellent at searching for properties before they came to market and after (as well as having an eye for detail when inspecting prospective homes).
  Winning our home at auction with an advocate like Matt was worth the price alone in the savings made there (and I’m sure it would’ve been the same if we had bought by private sale). Having Matt doing the bidding took away the nerves for us while Matt’s bidding increments and timing were done to perfection.
  The after-purchase service was also excellent as Matt and the team assisted us with some complexities in settlement and ensuring our move in was smooth as well. I highly recommend using them if you’re looking to buy a property to live in as well as for investment. You won’t regret it!
• Jason ★★★★★ 6 months ago
  From our first meeting with Abode Advocacy, it was clear we had chosen to engage an expert and diligent buyers agent. We had a specific brief however Matt and the team worked consistently to source properties that met our search criteria. The team had excellent communication, they kept us updated throughout the process and promptly responded to any questions. The team at Abode are extremely knowledgeable and professional, it was a pleasure to work with them.
• Leanne Bradford ★★★★★ 6 months ago
  What a wonderful experience working with Matt and the team From Abode Advocacy! Gordon Hope and myself were chosen to assist in the sale of 55 Thoresby Rd Ivanhoe recently. It was a seamless and professional sale! At all times Matt had his finger on the pulse and assisted his clients in a delicate situation! Looking forward to working with them again in the near future!

• Todd Lucas ★★★★★ 7 months ago
  We recently worked with Matthew and the team at Abode Advocacy for the first time and we were extremely impressed.
  The care and detail in not only making sure the presentation of the home was exceptional but the clients needs were met was a big reason we could see why people trust Matt with this big decision.
  Very easy to get in contact with and the whole process was smooth due to everything being prepared and transparent.
  Hope to work with Matthew and the Abode team in the future.

  Matt and Dion have helped me sell more than one property and each journey has it's own story. The most recent one was difficult but the guys dug in and worked through to an outcome that suited everyone. Their service is responsive and efficient and always focused on the optimum outcome for their client. Their value is always evident in the result and my peace of mind.
• Min Jun Chang (Wilson) ★★★★★ 8 months ago
  I can't thank Matt and his team enough. I used to live in Japan and Korea where home buyers are treated like 'customers'. Not the case down under due to chronic supply shortage - I was more like a job applicant. Every seemingly decent property had multiple parties competing. Seller's agents often wouldn't even return my calls when the property seems very popular. They take full advantage of the upper hand. I was once encouraged to submit an offer without any condition for building inspection, only to find out the property had 3 major defects. Matt negotiated with them to squeeze in an inspection and saved me a fortune and years of headache. He seems to know when someone is telling the truth or just working very hard(maybe a bit too hard) for the seller. I didn't have to deal with any sales tactics or myriads of unnecessary information that doesn't shed any light but only cause confusion as Matt's team has neatly kept it out of the whole process. I will recommend Abode Advocacy to anyone I care about.
• Daniel Egan ★★★★★ 8 months ago
  We had a fantastic purchase experience with Matt and Dion.
  Their assistance in our recent property purchase in rural Victoria was invaluable. The entire process was incredibly smooth, and their clear and prompt communication lines made everything seamless. Their expertise and due diligence truly set them apart, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thanks, Matt and Dion, for your outstanding support!
• Mark Purdey ★★★★★ 9 months ago
  After working with multiple Vendor advocates through out my career, I have to say Matt, Dion and the team are up there with the absolute best in the industry. Not only did Matt call a terrific auction, at all stages they made sure their client was informed. The experience of the team at Abode definitely attributed to making sure there client got the best price.
  Would definitely recommend them to any one that needs some extra help buying or selling.
• James Chronis ★★★★★ 9 months ago
  Great communication with the whole team.
  Matt & Dion gave us every opportunity to assist in getting their client the best outcome.
  Would highly recommend to future buyers in the market for their insights & also vendors who are needing a bit more guidance through the process.
• Amity Francou ★★★★★ 9 months ago
  After 18 months+ searching for our family home with 2 kids under 2 in tow and being under bidder multiple times, we reached out to Matt and Dion for help. I can't thank them enough for their help in securing our abode. Despite engaging them close to the Christmas period they still worked throughout on our brief and in 51 days got us the house for us for the price we were after. Their ability to open up the market was a game changer and our abode was purchased off market. Their guidance and delivery throughout the negotiation process was brilliant. Although we haven't settled yet, we have significant comfort in the due diligence Abode Advocacy Group performed and having Matt and Dion in our corner 🙂
• Ravi Vidhyapathy ★★★★★ 11 months ago
  We were on a tight deadline and were struggling with navigating the world of agents and underquoting for close to 12 months. Dion and Matt went above and beyond for us. They guided us with their wealth of knowledge and vast agent network. Attended inspections and provided videos. But more importantly provided accurate guidance on where the market was actually at for each home we shortlisted. It's much easier to ensure you're not wasting your time with an agent's sales pitch when you have two masters of the game on your side! Totally dependable, responsive and master negotiators! They saved us both time and money. We'll definitely use them again.
• Roger Correia ★★★★★ 11 months ago
  Working with Matt and Dion has been a great experience. We had a very short timeline between selling and requiring to purchase. After a positive referral, we caught up with Matt and Dion who started working based off our needs and wants in a new house.
  Having a team in your corner when dealing with many different selling agents was a big relief for us.
  When we finally found the house we wanted, Matt and Dions help was crucial in ensuring we were successful.
  While we haven't settled yet, we know we won't buy again without speaking to them first.
• Lana Krncevic ★★★★★ 11 months ago
  We recently sold a property in conjunction with Matthew and was nothing short of exceptional. Matt's professionalism and proactive approach were truly commendable, contributing to a magnificent campaign. The seamless teamwork resulted in an outstanding achievement, with the property selling in just 11 days. We eagerly anticipate our next collaboration with Matt and the exceptional team at Abode Advocacy Group. Their dedication to excellence ensures a partnership we can confidently look forward to.
• Sanjeev Alfred ★★★★★ 11 months ago
  Matt's expertise and dedication made all the difference in our recent property purchase. With his guidance, we were able to navigate the buying process with ease and confidence, leaving behind the stress and pressure that often comes with it. His market knowledge, responsiveness, and excellent communication skills were invaluable, and we secured our home without any hassle. I highly recommend Matt's services to anyone looking to buy a property - Adobe Advocacy Group truly go above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable and successful.

• saurabh sharma ★★★★★ a year ago
  We needed to buy an apartment in Melbourne from interstate. As a result, we needed "eyes" on the ground in Melbourne, real estate professionals who could visit properties of interest to us and who could provide ground information that we would otherwise not be able to know, for which we engaged Abode. Both Matt and Dian were very approachable and provided valuable insight for the properties of our interest. We were able to buy our property via them with three months of engaging Abode. Easy hassle-free experience.

  I had an excellent experience working with Matt and Dion. Their knowledge of the local housing market was impressive, and they were able to find properties that met buyer’s specific criteria. They were patient, responsive, and always available to answer questions and address concerns. The negotiation skills they demonstrated helped buyers secure a great deal on their new home. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to buy a property.
• Jacquie Green ★★★★★ a year ago
  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 ★★★★★ a year ago
  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!!!!
• Divya Bahukhandi ★★★★★ a year ago
  Matt and Dion are fantastic. Very professional and knowledgeable– they really got to know us and our needs and were able to patiently and gently point us in the right direction throughout the buying process. Their passion and industry expertise is outstanding. We felt supported and are absolutely thrilled with our new abode! Highly recommended!!

  Overall, we are thrilled with our experience with Abode Advocacy Group. Their professionalism, knowledge, and personalized service made the entire property buying process smooth and stress-free. We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of a buyer's advocate.

  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.

  As a Real Estate professional it was great to be appointed by Abode Advocacy Group’s clients for a recent sale - 10 Gerald Street, Blackburn 3130.
  Matt & Dion were terrific to work along side they where very professional, service driven and always had their clients needs in mind, from preparation of the home for sale to a celebration with them once the sale was complete. The result achieved as a team for their client was outstanding and look forward to working together again in the future.
  Thanks again Matt & Dion 👌
• Rohan Calder ★★★★★ a year ago
  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 ★★★★★ a year ago
  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.
• Jessica Occleston ★★★★★ a year ago
  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.
