I recommend Matthew Essex without hesitation.After my property had been on the market for nearly a year and a half with another local estate agent, Matthew achieved what seemed impossible. he sold it in around a week, with multiple interested buyers.

From the outset, Matthew was incredibly professional, upbeat, and genuinely easy to work with. His contemporary approach to marketing made a huge difference, particularly his use of social media and his personable manner with all involved.

Matthew was great to work with. He was punctual with communication and the sale went through smoothly.

Excellent local knowledge and did a video call for us as we were in nsw at the time. Great job and really easy sale

We were so pleased that we listed our property with Matthew. He was a great support and went above and beyond in order to assist us. I would definitely recommend him to anyone selling a property in the Port Douglas and surrounding areas.

Matthew was conscientious and knowledgeable in regard to marketing our property. He kept us well informed during the selling process. We would highly recommend him.

We had been searching for the right place for a while when we connected with Matthew Essex at The Property Shop, and
he ended up finding us the absolute perfect property entirely off-market.

What we appreciated most about Matt was how closely he actually listened to our brief. We had a few non-negotiables specifically needing a place that would accommodate our pets, alongside a strong reluctance to take on any major renovations. Instead of pushing properties that didn’t fit just to make a sale, Matt genuinely respected our boundaries. There was absolutely no pressure or relentless hassling, which made a refreshing change. Instead, he was just incredibly prompt and reliable whenever we had a question or needed information.

He even went above and beyond after the sale by helping us procure furniture for the property, making the transition so much easier. If you want a straightforward, hardworking agent in Port Douglas who actually tunes into what you need, Matt is your guy.

Matthew was fantastic to deal with from start to finish. He went above and beyond, showed genuine care and professionalism, and made the whole process so much easier. His communication was excellent, and nothing was ever too much trouble. I’m extremely grateful for all his hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a great real estate agent.
