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.★★★★★ 3 weeks ago
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 … More 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. -

I believe it’s a universal understanding that selling a home is up there with the top lifetime stressors.★★★★★ 2 months ago
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 … More 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. -

Very grateful and thankful to Matt and his company. Highly recommended.★★★★★ 2 months ago

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 … More pest inspection, and preparing a property report in just a couple of days.★★★★★ 5 months ago
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.★★★★★ 5 months ago
Their are many reasons I keep circling back to Matt and his team; he’s honest, direct, transparent, … More 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 … More on time and would respond to and return any calls without fail.★★★★★ 5 months ago
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. -

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.

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 … More 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.

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.★★★★★ 6 months ago
We will always … More 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.

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, … More energy or experience to do myself. I would 100% recommend Abode Advocacy Group for any home buyer.★★★★★ 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 … More 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★★★★★ 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).★★★★★ 7 months ago
Winning our home … More 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!
Matt was able to assist us to target properties that would suit our family and also fit within our budget.
After over a year of searching, and then missing out on securing a property 4 times, my husband & I decided to enlist the services of Matt to assist in purchasing our home. We were frustrated and exhausted after losing out to other buyers on homes. Matt was able to assist us to target properties that would suit our family and also fit within our budget. He was able to manage and take control of the whole purchasing process from start to finish, enabling us to feel confident and take the stress and worry out of negotiating the sale. Matt was confident and clear with his communication and kept us informed every step of the way. His experience and knowledge of the industry is evident in his ability to close a sale quickly and hassle free. We would not hesitate to recommend Matt’s services, as he saved us stress, time and money in the long run, securing us our dream home and under our budget.

Matt was extremely helpful during the process of selling our home. We felt he was really on ‘our side’ and held our hand throughout the entire process.
Matt dealt with the agents and buyers which took a lot of the stress and pressure off us as vendors! All up Matt worked hard to achieve the best result for us and our needs. Highly recommend Matt’s advocacy services and will not hesitate to contact him again with all future property sales and purchases. Thanks again.

Matt was warm, polite, knowledgeable and very forthcoming with his advice.
Matt was recommended to our family after we experienced the nightmare of an unexpected delayed settlement 1 hour before the scheduled settlement time – after we had packed all of our belongings in the removalist truck! Matt was warm, polite, knowledgeable and very forthcoming with his advice. His many years of experience was evident and he gave us tangible ideas to put forward to our buyer, vendor and conveyancer. We successfully settled today and we are so grateful to have had Matt to call on to point us in the right direction. I will certainly call on Matt & Abode Advocacy Group again in the future to seek advice on all things real estate.

Matt also assisted us is sourcing suitable options and the purchase of our new home. His experience in the market was evident as he liaised with estate agents to view and obtain the type of property we were after. We have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone requiring an advocate.

Matt always had our interests top of mind. He was able to guide us through every step of the way with his wealth of realestate experience and knowledge.
Matt had looked after the sale of our first home, and shortly after helped us secure and buy our present dream home. Matt always had our interests top of mind. He was able to guide us through every step of the way with his wealth of realestate experience and knowledge. We were right to trust in Matt’s exceptional communication and negotiation skills, as he indeed made the selling and buying process easier. Most recently, he helped my mother to downsize from her family home of more than 25 years, to a spectacular home on the Bellarine Peninsula. His real estate knowledge is second to none, he took the time to understand my mother’s needs and stayed in close contact with her the whole way through the process. I’m sure in the future when it is time for the next move, we will not hesitate engage Maty’s services again. He will continue to be part of our team.

Having Matt there during the auction helped us make informed decisions that led to us making an extra $22,000 from the sale.
A huge thank you to Matthew from Abode. Selling a house is a way bigger ordeal than I expected. It was quite a daunting and stressful task, but due to Matthews advice and negotiation skills the deal went through smoothly. Having Matthew there during the auction helped us make informed decisions that led to us making an extra $22,000 from the sale. This paid for his fee and with more profit on top. I would’ve have liked to think the agent had our best interest at heart but it didn’t seem like the case, where with Matthew there was no conflict of interest and he was 100% committed to my outcome. My only regret is we didn’t get Matthew and Abode at the start of the process. If you need expert advice and someone in your corner when selling your house, I highly recommend Matthew and the Abode group.

We highly value and appreciate Abode’s Extraordinary expertise in the real estate industry and negotiation skills.
As the first home buyer, we had not expected to get the purchase done within a short period of time until we got the support from Matthew and Dion. It was amazing and impressive that our purchase was done in just ONE week, during which Matthew heard our needs with caring minds, engaged all relevant parties extremely efficiently, addressed all our questions and concerns and achieved the excellent outcome for us. We highly value and appreciate his extraordinary expertise in real estate industry, negotiation skills and the professional manners which have made our purchase so informative, easy and pleasant. We are grateful and a big THANK YOU to Matthew and Dion.

The professionalism and service that Abode Advocacy Group provides is second to none. We didn’t have to worry about anything. They took care of it all.
