“Nothing beats the Bay! The small-town vibe, relaxed atmosphere and the
community, I’ve lived in the area my entire life and wouldn’t have it any other
way,” says Matt Stephenson.
Around four years ago, Matt received a scholarship to get up and running in real
estate, and he’s never looked back.
When asked what he loves most about real estate, he answers, “I love the stories
most of all. Hearing how someone came to be sitting in front of you and having
the chance to talk to someone about their family home is such an honour;
likewise, hearing about someone’s travels and life experiences is very humbling.”
A passion for the Bay community has seen Matt actively involved in numerous
events. Matt was also a contestant in Dancing for Life Ed and won the people’s
choice award with his dance partner Tammy!
When Matt isn’t busy with real estate; or crunching through numbers and
spreadsheets in his free time, you’ll find him spending quality time with family
or out exploring the beautiful Bay on his bike.
Now proudly part of the Property Brokers Whakatane team, Matt says, “It’s
great being on a team that has a heart for provincial New Zealand; the family
culture and passion permeates through every part of this business.” |
