About Matthew Rowe

Property expertise grounded in valuation, education and real-world experience

I am a qualified property valuer, property consultant and educator based in Sydney.

My work centres on independent property valuation and consultancy, helping property owners, buyers and professional advisers understand what a property may be worth, the evidence supporting that assessment and the risks that may influence an important property decision.

I also hold a NSW Class 1 real estate agent licence and am licensed to act in residential and commercial buyers advocacy. This broader experience gives me an informed understanding of property from both the valuation and transaction perspectives. However, independent valuation and consultancy remain the principal focus of my professional practice.

Professional experience

I have more than 20 years of experience across the property industry, including residential, commercial and specialised property matters.

My valuation experience includes assignments undertaken for capital gains tax and retrospective purposes, self-managed superannuation funds, family and related-party transfers, deceased estates, litigation and property settlements, financial reporting, pre-sale decision-making and general property advisory purposes.

Rather than approaching property from a sales perspective, I examine the available evidence, relevant market conditions, property characteristics and potential risks. My objective is to provide a considered and clearly communicated professional opinion.

Valuer and educator

Alongside my valuation practice, I have extensive experience teaching property, valuation and real estate subjects.

I currently teach within TAFE NSW and have previously lectured in a Bachelor of Property Valuation program. My teaching combines professional principles with practical examples drawn from the property market.

This combination of valuation practice and education allows me to explain complex property matters clearly, objectively and in language that clients, students and other professionals can understand.

Independent thinking. Clear advice. Practical education.

Property decisions are frequently affected by sales language, incomplete information and emotional pressure.

My approach is to examine the evidence, identify the relevant issues and communicate my conclusions in straightforward terms. I believe clients should understand both the conclusion reached and the reasoning behind it.

Whether I am preparing a valuation, providing property consultancy or teaching, my objective is the same: to give people greater clarity and the knowledge needed to make better-informed decisions.

Community involvement

Beyond my professional work, I am an active patrolling member of Queenscliff Surf Life Saving Club.

My previous voluntary roles have included Age Manager within the Nippers program, Youth Liaison Officer and carnival official. These roles reflect my longstanding commitment to community service, personal responsibility and supporting younger people.

Who I assist

I work with:

• Private property owners and investors
• Accountants and financial advisers
• Solicitors and legal practitioners
• Property managers
• Executors and family representatives
• Businesses and self-managed superannuation fund trustees
• Property students and aspiring professionals

Through my education platform, I also help students, property participants and everyday buyers develop a practical understanding of valuation, real estate and the NSW property market.
