Addition means McGrath can now look after you in Ballarat, out in the surrounding towns, on acreage or the farm<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ONE of the region\u2019s leading rural and lifestyle real estate agents, Matthew Edwards, has joined forces with McGrath Ballarat as a co-director.<\/p>\n

The announcement means that McGrath Ballarat now brings you even more knowhow to get you into your dream lifestyle home or match your property up with the right buyer when you\u2019re ready to sell.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of young families coming to Ballarat and they want space,\u201d Mr Edwards said. \u201cThere\u2019s a real demand for five to 20-acre lifestyle properties where people can have a few pets, ride a motorbike and do all the other great things that come with extra space.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m finding a lot of people are looking for that affordable lifestyle. For what you can get on the outskirts of Ballarat you can\u2019t in other places.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Edwards brings close to a decade of experience in the rural and lifestyle space, and with the region booming that means he can use what he knows to get the best results for both vendors and buyers.<\/p>\n

Acreage living and small-town life is more than just buying a block of land outside of Ballarat and Mr Edwards knows the fine details.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got town water verses tank water, bottle gas or mains gas, sewer and septic systems. You have to know more about all those things,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause a lot of buyers come from urban areas they are not used to having to deal with those sort of things to think about.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey want to flick a switch, but they\u2019ve never learnt about off grid solar. There can be a lot of fear that comes with a tree change, but I can point people in the right direction and give them more confidence in buying a property.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen there\u2019s the regulations, with six or seven different councils in the areas I cover there\u2019s a lot of things you\u2019ve got to be aware of. From land sizes to zoning, sub-divisions, it keeps you busy.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s more than just the ins-and-outs of owning acreage, the Goldfield\u2019s diverse range of landscapes is something Mr Edwards loves about his job.<\/p>\n

Regardless of whether it\u2019s a cottage in a picturesque town, large home on the rolling hills, out in big sky country on the plains, or a tree change in the bush, Mr Edwards knows the region like the back of his hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a really diverse mix,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s where I like working in the rural space, because everything is different. I can look at a house on a normal block in a little township and then later that day go and look at something on 1000 acres.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe variety is what\u2019s attractive to me and my personality is that way inclined as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like all the outdoor stuff; hiking, fishing, camping and that sort of thing. Because of that I think I resonate well with people seeking that same kind of lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGrath Ballarat co-director, Daniel Nestor, welcomed Mr Edwards to the firm.<\/p>\n

With McGrath being relatively new to Ballarat, Mr Nestor said the focus for him and co-director Sean Toohey over the last 12 months was to solidify the agency\u2019s place in the city and continue to build on the reputation the pair had fostered.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to make sure we got the standards, culture and people mix right in the office and everything humming before we made a decision on when it was time to grow,\u201d Mr Nestor said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always had Matt earmarked as a target to come in as a partner. What Matt does is very different to what Sean and I do. Matt is number one in rural sales and probably has been for the last couple of years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Edwards\u2019 professional but approachable style and personality match up well with rural and lifestyle clientele.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not trying to close all day, rather he seeks to treat people the way he would want to be treated, in an honest and respectful way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the type of people I interact with in the country areas,\u201d Mr Edwards said. \u201cThey are all genuine, down to earth, salt of the earth, kind of people that you can get along with and have a normal chat with.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a big sales pitch when I visit clients. People seem to be more relaxed and that\u2019s more my style. That\u2019s why I enjoy doing rural and lifestyle listings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet Team Edwards is more than just Matthew. Joining him at McGrath Ballarat is Jacqui Sfetcopoulos.<\/p>\n

While Mr Edwards is great at building relationships with vendors, Mrs Sfetcopoulos is all about matching buyers with their forever homes. Basically, they complement each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cJacqui has a strong following, people want to deal with the both of us,\u201d Mr Edwards said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been called Team Edwards ever since we started working together two years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the same standards, the same processes, now only better with McGrath.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs Sfetcopoulos started working with Mr Edwards in an office support role but quickly showed she was destined for bigger things.<\/p>\n

Her focus is on making sure buyers are matched with the right kind of properties whilst managing a variety of aspects of a real estate campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s become a buyer specialist,\u201d Mr Edwards said. \u201cShe gets a lot of testimonials on how she was the only person who was in constant, meaningful communication with buyers.<\/p>\n

\u201cJacqui knows the buyers intimately and knows what they are after. A lot of things we sell don\u2019t even make it to advertising because she\u2019s matching buyers to their ideal property immediately. As a result of this, clients are now wanting to sell with Jacqui due to her professionalism and work ethic.\u201d<\/p>\n

An experienced auctioneer, Mr Edwards will continue to take homes and land under the hammer at McGrath, as well as running charity and sporting auctions around the region.<\/p>\n

That willingness to support the community is a reflection on his commitment to the city. Mr Edwards has worked his whole professional life in Ballarat and knows the market intricately.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I first started out, for probably for the first two years I worked in residential and the last eight years has been country and lifestyle.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just gotten busier year-on-year, the longer I\u2019ve worked in the industry, the more people have returned to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Born and bred in Ballarat, Mr Edwards grew up in Alfredton, went to St Thomas Moore, then St Pat\u2019s for high school before entering real estate.<\/p>\n

With his wife Samantha and two children \u2013 five-year-old Sadie and two-year-old Chaz \u2013 he continues to build a life in the city he knows and loves.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like that my kids are going to grow up here and they are my motivation for joining McGrath Ballarat,\u201d Mr Edwards said. \u201cI want to give them the best of everything in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
