I am not in the habit of writing reviews online. Until now. My review of Matt O'Donoghue from Waterman's has been done voluntarily. That's how impressed I've been. Living interstate and wanting to re-locate to Adelaide, looking for a suitable property at arm's length became virtually impossible. It took me a year of fruitless searching ,spending a fortune on air fares, not to mention the frustration, disappointment and stress to realise that I couldn't do it alone. Then someone mentioned using a Buyer's Advocate, and that's where Matt O'Donoghue came in. Suddenly I had someone on the spot in Adelaide representing me. All for a flat fee. No commissions, no vested interests. I can't begin to tell you of Matt's extreme professionalism, honesty, patience (he needed that!) and understanding, not to mention access to off-market properties and background information I'd never source myself. Then he found me my dream home! It went up for auction, with Matt bidding on my behalf and communicating with me by phone, every step of the way. I have never experienced negotiating skills like Matt's. And we bought it! What else can I say? Yvonne Grant, Sydney.

Buying property is an exhilarating experience, and with it comes many factors that can influence your buying process. Is the property presented as claimed, how does it compare to others on the market, is it correctly valued? Then when you know it’s just got to be yours comes the excruciating ordeal of negotiating an offer! These are just some of the many reasons why we put our trust in the professional expertise of Jess and Chris at Waterman & Waterman to take the pressure off and stress out of the buying process. We know for certain that without their valuable support we would not have secured the property of our dreams. Whether you are local, or as we are on the other side of the globe, we would not hesitate for a minute to engage their property service, which comes by the way with more than just a friendly smile.

Could not more highly recommend Chris Waterman and Jess Ellam at Waterman & Waterman. We recently utilised Waterman & Waterman’s Property Search & Buy Service to find and purchase property while living interstate. Their knowledge of the Adelaide property market was excellent. Jess was an absolute pleasure to work with in locating the property, and Chris went well above and beyond our expectations to help secure the perfect property at auction, and in very tight timelines. I felt very comfortable and confident with them as our eyes and ears on the ground for the whole process. They are knowledgeable, professional, approachable and achieved an outcome we would unlikely have reached through our own search/buy capacity. Thanks Chris and Jess!

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to Matt O'Donoghue of Waterman Property Advocates for his assistance buying our new house in Glenelg. We had never thought about using a buyers agent before, but after looking for a house to buy for years, and finding it increasingly hard to buy with increasing prices and border closures (we're from Victoria), we rang Matt and he gave us so much good advice on pricing and the current market. We engaged Matt to attend an auction on our behalf and we got the property, with thanks to his auction and real estate experience! Matt also took away all the usual stress of the auction for us and handled the paperwork. Thanks so much, Matt!

We had been searching for a suitable property for quite a while, when it was suggested we try Waterman & Waterman to look on our behalf. A property brief was presented to them (with specifications extra to standard housing), they accepted the challenge and only after two possibles, the third property met all the criteria of the brief and within four weeks. It was a pleasure working with Jess as she kept us informed of their progress, adhered to the building and location requirements and followed through with all the processes needed to complete the purchase on budget. The team there are highly recommended.

We sold our property through Chris late last year, and could not have been happier with the service throughout the whole process. We had an excellent result too. I have no reservations recommending Chris as a Seller's Agent. Chris has great experience, expertise and contacts. It was particularly good to have help selecting the the Real Estate Agent. It was also a pleasure to work with the entire team of people (agents, interior decorators, garden designers, painters, cleaners) who helped us to prepare for sale. Thanks Chris and Watermans.

We were searching for an Investment property in Adelaide from Melbourne and found the task difficult. We engaged Waterman and worked with Jess. From the outset Jess gave us confidence through her deep knowledge of the Adelaide property market. We received a weekly property report of houses that met the agreed criteria. We acquired a property and quickly had it tenanted via their property management division. The process was seamless and stress free for us. Great service all round! Paul and Marianne

Jess Ellam and Chris Waterman from Waterman Property Advocates have been outstanding in helping us find and purchase our new home. They offer a complete bespoke service and are very professional and approachable. Their knowledge of the industry and their ability to liaise with agents was a huge advantage for us; I would not buy another house again without their service, and I have already started recommending them to my friends. Thanks Jess and Chris, you have been amazing.

Matt O'Donoghue of Waterman Property Advocates provided me with amazing assistance when I purchased my first property. In an unprecedented time of rising house properties Matt secured me the house I was looking for within a budget I was comfortable with. Matt provided honest, reliable, and useful advice as well as procuring properties I had not yet considered. I would thoroughly recommend Matt to take away much of the stress of your next property purchase. Tessa H

Waterman have been so incredibly helpful acting as our buyers advocate. As we're based overseas, they have conducted numerous property inspections and arranged building inspection reports on our behalf. They negotiated the final sale for us and we couldn't be happier with our new home despite purchasing site unseen! We have complete faith in there service and will continue to use them in future to manage our rental properties. Thanks again!

We have successfully used Waterman Property Advocates to both sell our properties and to buy a property and also some land. They made the process so much more simple, their knowledge and advice was spot on and we believe we received a much better result when we sold and also saved a lot of $ on our purchases. We highly recommend them to our friends whenever they are about to sell or buy property.

Matt O’Donoghue and the team at Waterman are consummate professionals where nothing is too difficult. Matt went far above and beyond our expectations and made the challenge of buying from another state with no real knowledge of Adelaide seem easy. We are so excited with our purchase. Could not recommend them highly enough and I would use them again in a heartbeat!! Just sensational!

I recently worked with Chris and team to help guide us through selling a property. Normally they act as a buyer's advocate, but in our case they helped us select an agent and gave other guidance along the way. The result was excellent - both for choice of agent and also final result. It was my first time selling, and was great to have that depth of experience behind us.

recently bought a investmemt property through waterman property group and would recommend them highly. made purchasing the property an easier transition and felt more confident with there recommendations .jess provided suitable options and pros and cons for them and found here easy to deal with rather than a real estate agent who is just trying to sell the property

"I am very grateful to Chris and Jess for their expert help in finding my new home. I was very stressed about moving house, but they were very patient with my nerves. This gave me confidence and helped me focus. They also helped to efficiently negotiate a good price, and organise the documents. I am now extremely happy and excited about the process."

I just bought my first home on the market with the help of Jess from Watermans - her expertise was invaluable in securing the purchase and in the knowledge that it was a fair price. And then helping through the logistics of the contract and negotiating over details - well worth the investment! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Chris and the team were absolutely fantastc from the first time I picked up the phone through to the completion of the job. They accommadated one last minute change of plans with ease and got the job done on the day with no fuss and in super quick time. I would not hesitate in reccommending Waterman Property Advocates to anyone!

Waterman Property Advocates are some of the most information wealthy professionals in the Adelaide real estate industry. The Waterman team collectively has contacts in every pocket of the industry and know how to get the right result. What they don't know is not worth knowing!

Thank you Watermans especially Jess for finding me a great property and making the process so smooth. Jess was amazing, very patient with all my picky requirements for a new property. Looking forward to the next phase selling my property. Thank you Watermans especially Jess

We are very grateful to Kelly for finding a suitable tenant for our property. Her service was exceptional. Kelly went above and beyond to assist us, which was especially helpful when we live several hours away. We have no hesitation in recommending Kelly and her team.

Jess made the process of identifying the right area, scoping available properties and ultimately buying the right one smooth and simple for me. The post purchase rental team at Waterman have been great to deal with too and look forward to the next transaction!

Working with Jess from Waterman Property Advocates has been seamless. She has been a huge help in our buying experience, offering expertise and insights we would not have otherwise had, as well as streamlining the entire process.

Jess Ellam was patient and engaging in the process of my first property purchase. Jess showed her expert subject matter knowledge by answering questions I didn't even know I had. I could not have managed without her. Thanks Jess

I used Jess Ellman to help me find and purchase a property. I found her to be patient, particular, very transparent, full of great advice and highly tuned into the Adelaide market. I recommend anyone to use her services.

Big thanks to Jess for all her hard work and patience in finding my first investment property in Adelaide. As an expat, she made the process very easy and stress-free. I would recommend Jess and the Watermans’ team.

used waterman's to clean up and prepare for sale my parents home to finalise deceased estate. waterman's also helped choose the best local agent to sell with and got a much better than expected price

Brilliant! Knowledge and service above expectations. Led us through, what had the potential to be a train wreck, with aplomb. Nothing was too much trouble. Thankyou Chris and Jodi. Jackie and Linc

Booking for inspection cancelled very last minute, not ideal when you are already on your way to the booking, particularly having received a number of reminders about being on time.

So helpful and efficient in everyway. Great communication and follow up. Would highly recommend Waterman Property Advocates to take care of a deceased estate.

Really happy with the service of Matt and team. They found us the perfect property within 2 weeks and made the process easy!

Very happy with the service. Had some unforeseen complications at the end which were sorted out really well.

Top notch real estate guys. Can't go wrong.

Great team loyal and trust worthy
