Waterman Property Advocates

Recently I had the task of clearing out & selling my aunt's house a 3 hour drive from where I live as she had entered aged care. This was beyond my capability due to distance, complexity & size, so after clearing the personal effects etc. I recalled hearing ads on Coast FM for Waterman Property. I contacted Chris Waterman directly & he with an associate met me at the property some 80 kms from his base without hesitation. We talked, they assessed the situation & in a couple of days gave me a quote for the clearance which I accepted. They completed the task in 4 days, also arranging house cleaning & garden maintenance. Again, not having much local knowledge, I engaged Chris as seller advocate. He presented me with proposals from 3 different local agents, I accepted what I believed to be the best one. I had minimal contact with the agent as Chris handled the majority of dealings. The property sold in short order at a very good price, commission having already been negotiated at a good percentage & settlement was expedited which was a big concern as my aunt was paying a great deal in aged care until funds were available from the house sale. Could not be happier overall. Clearly the house clearance cost was considerable as it was a huge task (everything has a price) but the cost of engaging Chris as seller advocate was zero for me (or my aunt at least) as his fee was paid by the agent as part of their commission. I don't understand why anyone would buy or sell a property by themselves when distance or local knowledge is a problem when this service is available at no cost. Excellent service.

Engaging Matt as our buyer’s advocate was the best decision we made in the entire home-buying process. We simply could not have purchased our home without him. Matt took the time to really understand what our family was looking for and worked tirelessly behind the scenes, viewing countless properties until he found the one. His knowledge of the market, inside intel and strategic guidance were exceptional, and it quickly became clear why he comes so highly recommended. We are incredibly grateful for the dedication, persistence and care Matt showed throughout the whole process. Thank you, Matt — the result you achieved for our family is something we will always be grateful for.

10/10 experience with Matt and the whole Waterman team. From start to finish they were helpful, attentive and informative about what could be a very stressful process. My partner and I were able - thanks to Matt's help at every step - to identify a suitable property, arrange a building inspection and successfully bid on that property at auction. All less than a month after first meeting Matt and Chris. We have just moved in to our new place and couldn't be happier with it. Thanks again to Matt and the team, you guys were fantastic.

Very grateful to Matt O'Donohue of Waterman's for his expertise and guidance. The time and effort in searching, reviewing, visiting opens, accessing analytical reports and bidding saved a huge amount of time and stress. I secured a property at approx. $45k lower than I may have bid without his guidance and won. Highly recommend their help!

Matt O’Donoghue and the team at Waterman are consummate professionals where nothing is too difficult. Matt went far above and beyond our expectations and made the challenge of buying from another state with no real knowledge of Adelaide seem easy. We are so excited with our purchase. Could not recommend them highly enough and I would use them again in a heartbeat!! Just sensational!

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to Matt O'Donoghue of Waterman Property Advocates for his assistance buying our new house in Glenelg. We had never thought about using a buyers agent before, but after looking for a house to buy for years, and finding it increasingly hard to buy with increasing prices and border closures (we're from Victoria), we rang Matt and he gave us so much good advice on pricing and the current market. We engaged Matt to attend an auction on our behalf and we got the property, with thanks to his auction and real estate experience! Matt also took away all the usual stress of the auction for us and handled the paperwork. Thanks so much, Matt!

Matt O'Donoghue of Waterman Property Advocates provided me with amazing assistance when I purchased my first property. In an unprecedented time of rising house properties Matt secured me the house I was looking for within a budget I was comfortable with. Matt provided honest, reliable, and useful advice as well as procuring properties I had not yet considered. I would thoroughly recommend Matt to take away much of the stress of your next property purchase. Tessa H
