Head of Office Capital Markets & Investment Services | ACT
About Me
As a leader of the ACT Capital Markets and Investment Services businesses, Matthew specialises in the sale of CBD and Metro Office buildings, Strata Office, Retail and Premium Investment assets. Matthew has positioned himself and his team at the forefront of the Canberra market, achieving the dominant market share over the past 3 years and transacting over $2b in sales. His efforts earnt the Colliers Canberra team the title of REIACT Commercial agency of the year for 2017, 2018 and 2019 as well as REIA Commercial Agency of the year 2019. In 2020, as part of the Canberra agency team, Matthew and colleagues were inducted into the REIACT Hall of Fame. In 2021 & 2022 Matthew and his team facilitated over $1.3b in sales throughout the ACT and other National Metro Markets. Matthew was recently recognised as the ACT Commercial Agent of the Year for 2022 and REIA Commercial Salesperson of the Year for 2023.
Matthew collaborates as part of the National Investment Services team and is a key decision-maker within:
- Middle Markets Office initiative
- Strata Practice Group
- Premium Investments Practice Group
- Restructuring Property Services team (where he is the ACT team leader)
He values his investment in relationships, and partners with private and institutional clients locally, nationally and internationally (through local travel to Asia). This enables him to deliver enduring value to any property appointment acting with integrity and discretion.
Critical to his success is his ability to extract the maximum sale price for his clients, even in challenging market conditions. By combining the right expertise, market experience and connections, he has developed a strategy to maximise the potential of property to drive exceptional results.
