2026 AUSTRALIAN BUYERS AGENT OF THE YEAR – RESIDENTIAL | 2026 EXCELLENCE AWARD (RED ABAA)
Matt Spooner is one of Australia’s most respected buyers agents and the CEO and Founder of Buyers Market. Operating at the top end of the Sydney market, particularly within the Eastern Suburbs, he is recognised for strategic insight, discretion, and a level of access few in the industry can match.
In 2026, Matt was named Australian Buyers Agent of the Year (REB ABAA) and received the Excellence Award (REB ABAA). This back-to-back recognition places him at the forefront of the profession. Under his leadership, Buyers Market has secured more than $2,000,000,000 in transactions across Sydney’s most tightly held suburbs.
Matt’s edge is the work that happens before a property reaches the open market. He consistently uncovers off-market opportunities, navigates competitive campaigns with composure, and executes negotiations that deliver outcomes other buyers cannot access. His clients are high-performing individuals, families, and investors who engage him precisely because the result is rarely available through the standard process.
Every engagement is built around a client-first philosophy. Strategy is tailored to the buyer, not the listing. Each decision is intentional, each campaign aligned to a defined outcome, and each negotiation conducted with commercial discipline. The service is highly personalised, deeply considered, and designed to give clients a genuine advantage in a market that rewards preparation and punishes hesitation.
A lifelong Eastern Suburbs local, Matt was educated at Waverley College and the University of New South Wales. He is a long-serving and decorated Surf Life Saver, having held Director and Board positions at Club, Branch, and State levels, alongside operational roles as Duty Officer and Rescue Coordinator. He continues to support Surf Life Saving Sydney as a sponsor, and contributes to local schools including Clovelly Public School and Vaucluse Public School, as well as a range of junior sporting teams and community initiatives.
For clients seeking a real competitive advantage in Sydney’s prestige property market, Matt Spooner offers a rare combination of expertise, access, and execution, backed by a reputation built on trust, performance, and consistent results.
