Abode Advocacy
Our Team
Abode Advocacy Group was born from a moment of clarity—when Matt realised buyers deserve a dedicated expert who’s solely on their side. Real estate transactions are often overwhelming and emotionally charged, yet most people go through them with agents who are required to represent both parties. That’s not good enough in our opinion, as they are required to work in the sellers best interest not the buyer.
At Abode Advocacy Group, we stand firmly on one side: your side.
What truly sets us apart isn’t just our independence—it’s the strength of our team. Matt and Tess have worked together for over 15 years, building an unshakeable partnership grounded in trust, professionalism, and aligned values. With almost four decades of combined real estate experience, our deep understanding of the market and intuitive teamwork means we anticipate the next step before you even know it’s coming.
This long-standing collaboration ensures you receive seamless, strategic guidance and a consistent, calm voice throughout your journey. We’re not just experienced—we’re in sync. And that makes all the difference when it comes to securing the right result for you.
