    Matt Redmond
    Director
    Matt Redmond - Area Specialist Director As a passionate real estate professional and proud local of Leongatha, South Gippsland. I have deep roots in this community, having been born and raised here, and completing both my Primary and Secondary education locally. For the past 9 years, I have been committed to the real estate industry in Leongatha, assisting clients through their buying and selling journeys. Recently, I took on a new role as Director within the Area Specialist franchise group, where I focus on covering South Gippsland and the Bass Coast. My background growing up on dairy farms for over 25 years has provided me with unique insights into rural and lifestyle properties. During this time, I actively participated in harvest seasons and developed a hands-on understanding of agricultural practices. This experience has been fundamental in understanding the value and specific needs when negotiating the sale of rural properties. Living in Inverloch with my partner, we share a passion for property and development. We have hands-on experience overseeing the construction of townhouses and renovating homes, further deepening my understanding of the industry. What I love most about real estate is the variety each day brings and the connections built with clients. I believe that small, strategic improvements to a property can significantly impact the sale price, and I take great joy in helping my vendors maximise their returns. Communication is key in this industry, and I aim to keep my clients informed every step of the way. I look forward to assisting you in your real estate journey!
