Matthew Nolan

Dear Matthew & Suzanne,

I just wanted to express my thanks for all your help, support, and guidance throughout the sale of my family home. Being my first time selling a property, I truly appreciated your clear explanations and thoughtful suggestions.

Your honesty, integrity, and consideration made the process smooth and ensured the best possible outcome. I’m incredibly grateful for your thoughtfulness and professionalism every step of the way.

Thank you again!

Matthew, Suzanne and the team at Rich & Oliva achieved a sale outcome of our long term family home at a price in the upper range of our expectations. At all times they were thoughtful and considerate of the importance of the sale to us, as well as being focussed and professional. The campaign appeared to be well designed to generate momentum as the auction date approached. They kept us well-informed throughout the campaign and conducted and explained the auction process in a way that gave us confidence about the likely outcome.”

Thanks again

The campaign itself was incredibly well-run, and it was very clear your experience and strategy played a big part in its success. We appreciate your professionalism, transparency and clear communication throughout the whole process.

We would gladly recommend you to anyone looking to sell their home, you made what can be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable.

A huge thank you to Matthew, Suzanne, Brian and all the Team at Rich & Oliva for a wonderful job handling the sale

Matthew was able to guide us with his depth of experience and knowledge of the local market. He kept us

in the loop throughout the whole process from face-to-face contact, phone calls, and emails.

He showed great empathy and understanding to the process of selling the family home after so many years and remaining

calm in the lead up to the auction. His assurances and good communication skills made the task so much easier.

We would definitely recommend Matthew and the team

Matthew and Suzanne were prompt, efficient and proactive in the sale of our townhouse. Matthew was prepared with his wealth of knowledge about the area we were selling in. He continually communicated and updated me throughout the campaign and sale. Matthew's professionalism, attention to detail and experience supported me in my decision making process towards a sale we were really pleased with.

Rich & Oliva were our Managing Agents for many years and then handled the sale of our property. Matthew Nolan handled all the preparations to present the property for Auction and was in constant contact with us.The whole team were at the Auction and were so supportive on the day. And a fantastic price was achieved. Would highly recommend them.

On behalf of the family, I wish to convey my gratitude to Rich and Oliva Real Estate Agents and in particular Matthew and his team of Suzanne and Mikayla for the recent selling of our most cherished house at auction. Matthew's expertise in the market and strategic approach to the auction process resulted in a successful sale substantially above our reserve price. Matthew and team navigated the entire process with experience and professionalism . Matthew always gave us quick responses to calls and emails and kept us well informed during the sales journey giving us written updates on a weekly basis as to who attended the viewings and who he thought were the interested parties, showcasing his dedication. The valuable tips ,advice and marketing material he and the team provided were very instrumental in the successful sale of our property. Their personable approach made the entire experience very enjoyable.

I would highly recommend Rich and Oliva Real Estate Agents and their very dedicated and effective team should you be considering in selling or buying property.

Thanks again Matthew. Read More

Matthew and Suzanne as well as the rest of the team at Rich and Oliva did a tremendous job handling the sale of our property. They were across every detail, working tirelessly to secure a great result. They provided excellent advice on getting the house ready to go on the market, they kept us in the loop with information on all potential buyers and their performance on auction day itself was critical in getting the house sold. Their knowledge of the local market is top notch and they always behave in a forthright, diligent and professional manner to make sure they get the best result.

Matthew and Suzanne ran a very professional marketing and sales process, achieving a result we were very happy with. The advertising, open home inspections, potential buyer interactions and auction all ran very smoothly. From our first meeting to completion of the auction, we were kept up to date and received great advice about what was ahead and how to consider our options. We always felt like we were being very well taken care of and in expert hands. We are sincerely thankful.

We were thrilled with the result that Matthew and Suzanne delivered for us. Their experience and knowledge were evident at every stage and they took care of all details with professionalism and care. The marketing materials they created presented our property in the best light, and they pursued every lead to uncover the right buyer who met our expectations for price but was able to provide the long settlement we required. As a result we are in a strong position with ample time to find our next family home. Thanks Matthew and Suzanne!

Thanks a million to Matthew and the team at Rich & Oliva Real Estate. You've exceeded our expectations in every way possible. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. Well done to the team and congratulations to the new owners. We hope that they share as many happy memories there as our family has. Thank again for your wonderful service.

We would unreservedly recommend Matthew Nolan and the Rich & Oliva team to anyone selling their property. When we needed to sell our family home of over 50 years following the death of our mother, Matthew made the process easy from the very first meeting. He was very measured and factual at the initial meeting and answered all our questions clearly and patiently. Matthew was never pushing his past achievements or why we needed to go with him and his team. He was always professional and made you feel at ease. The strategy was clearly articulated and agreed upon and the campaign was well executed. His strong knowledge of the market in the local area was key to the overall strategy. The videos, photographs and social media were excellent and the communication from Matthew was faultless. In addition to weekly written campaign reports he would also regularly update us by phone and in person and was always willing to answer any questions we had. He patiently explained to us the auction process in a meeting the day before and he and his team made the auction day as stress-free as could be expected. He was always very empathetic and supportive in what was a very emotional time for us. We were extremely happy with the result that Matthew Nolan and Rich & Oliva helped us achieve. Thank you so much for your professionalism and compassion. Read More

I provide this testimonial in favour of Matthew Nolan. My family has resided in Burwood since 1975, and in that time Matthew and his father before him have had a strong presence on the real estate scene. As a result Matthew knows well the local property market, and has extensive contacts which he clearly fosters and uses effectively. Matthew recently sold our large Federation family home. In doing so he kept us fully informed and involved, and supported and advised us throughout the process. His approach was sensible, strategic, accommodating, timely and considered. The family, including my elderly mother still living in the house, appreciated Matthew's attention to all matters involving the sale and to his calm and reassuring demeanour. We had every confidence in Matthew throughout. As a result of his endeavours and keen negotiations, Matthew achieved a great pre-auction result for us. I have no hesitation in recommending him to any potential vendors. Read More

Marco was friendly, professional and approachable - very easy to talk to, delivered on promises, provided realistic and reliable advice and got us a great result. He was always available for any questions and returned calls quickly.We were very happy with the service from the whole team at Rich & Oliva, and were especially impressed with the quality of the marketing material they produced. Thanks so much Marco, Billy, Matthew, Suzanne and all the team at Rich & Oliva - we are happy to recommend you !

We have recently sold a townhouse with Matthew at Rich & Oliva. This comes the highest of recommendations and would not hesitate to list with Matthew again. The marketing and communication from Matthew were second to none. And the home was sold in a timely manner, for a price we were happy with. Due to circumstances, we were unable to be around for the sale of the home. Matthew went above and beyond what I am sure the duties of a Real Estate agent should be. Taking care of opening the home up for movers, running around getting quotes for repairs, organising the carpets and home to be cleaned, just to name a few. I can highly recommend Matthew from Rich & Oliva to sell your home in the most professional way. Read More

David and I are sincerely sorry we neglected to get around to sending you a testimonial -- we simply forgot, with the matters of life we have been engrossed in following the sale swamping our neurons! Anyway we are more than happy to provide the following to you for the Rich & Oliva website. We will also put it on Google & Facebook.Matthew Nolan was recommended to us by friends who previously had him as a selling agent in the local area. After meeting him we were reassured by his genuine and honest manner, excellent knowledge of the area and the market, and his communication style which was easy, relaxed, direct and balanced. He is a patient, customer focussed agent. Also after meeting the team at Rich and Oliva we were confident that the sale of our property was in the right hands. Matthew listened to us then supported and advised us throughout the process which he clearly explained from the beginning to end. He outlined a strategic process and attended to all our needs promptly. He regularly updated us, keeping us fully informed, feeling fully involved. A great captain of the ship in whom we had every confidence. We are very happy with the result that Matthew Nolan and Rich & Oliva achieved for us. Sincere thanks to Matthew and team for your honest professionalism and attention to our needs. Read More

Thank you Matthew, Marco, and your team. You work extra mile to help us smoothly from inspection to settlement. Selling and purchasing with you is surely in good hands. Happy to be your client now and in the future. Matthew, we are grateful to you from beginning till the settlement; excellent service.

Matthew was the vendor's agent on a property purchased by my elderly mother. Buying a house at her age was a daunting and stressful process for her and for the family. Dealing with Matthew was a pleasure. His professionalism, knowledge, common sense, and willingness and ability to address our needs and enquiries was of invaluable assistance. He was always approachable and available. His service and commitment did not concluded on exchange of contract. He has continued to liaise and provide support and information in the leadup to settlement. We felt comfortable and reassured in dealing with him, and would without hesitation recommend his services.

I chose the team at Rich and Oliva to sell my home based on their knowledge and experience in the local area. Matthew, Brian, Marco & Billy were great to deal with keeping me regularly informed throughout the sale process. On the auction day there was a huge crowd and they had the whole team there to help with the final result being above my expectations. I would have no hesitation in recommending Matthew and his team to anyone looking to sell locally!

Thank you Matthew, for your hard work, professionalism and commitment in selling our block of apartments. You were very helpful, attentive and responsive to all our questions throughout the whole selling process. our decision-making was made easier with your open communication, honesty and knowledge of the current market prices. You regularly updated us, keeping us informed as the process progressed and we were confident in your strategy in selling our property. We are very pleased with the final sale result and highly recommend you as a real estate agent. Thank you again Matthew!

Mathew made the selling process so easy and stress free. He kept me in the loop at every stage and the results were beyond expectations.

Selling my much loved home of forty years was always going to be a difficult and emotional time for me. Matthew Nolan, and the rest of the staff I dealt with at Rich and Oliva, worked hard to make the process as smooth and painless as possible. Communications were clear and consistent and I always felt I understood each stage of the operation I have no hesitation in recommending them to potential clients.

I have known Matthew Nolan & the team at Rich & Oliva for many years. They did a fantastic job with the marketing of our family home achieving an auction result well above our expectations. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking to looking to sell their home.

Matthew recently sold our house in Burwood. From the very start, Matthew was able to guide us with his depth of experience and knowledge of the local market. He kept us informed throughout the whole process and was very thorough at following up with all potential buyers and updating us. The thing that made the difference for us was Matthew’s trustworthiness and the fact that he really cared. He did everything he said he was going to do. We found him straightforward and easy to work with and are very happy with the final outcome. We would definitely recommend Matthew and his team for anyone looking to sell in this area

Sharing my experience with regards to the interaction I have recently had with Matthew Nolan from Rich & Oliva. The professional way the entire auction, sale process, was made extremely easy with Mathews guidance and suggestions, along with the complete team from their offices I was left with no doubts or unanswered questions throughout the process. I highly recommend having the premises professionally staged as it showed the property in all its benefits, money very well invested, Mathew is able to guide you in this way. Auctioneer was very diligent and ensured all bids were exhausted, the entire staff from Rich & Oliva were on hand to assist all bidders and onlookers. All in all an excellent result and extremely happy with the outcome of the sale. Read More

The result speaks for itself. Rich & Oliva were approachable, professional, organised, and their experience and knowledge showed with every detail taken care of. Marco and Matthew built rapport with both ourselves and buyers leading to a fantastic outcome. Your property sale is in safe hands with them

Dear Matthew, After the successful sale of our property last weekend, we would like to thank you and your team for the remarkable result and professional marketing campaign. Due to the zoning of the property, the campaign required a strategic approach to attract both developers and families looking for a home in close proximity to schools, retail, etc. You guided us through the process and provided advice to us based on your many years of experience and knowledge of the Burwood residential and commercial precincts. Most importantly, we value the relationship that we developed with you as our sales manager. You kept us constantly informed and communicated with us on a daily basis. This trust and honesty all lead to a record per sqm rate for the street on auction day. Thanks again and best wishes to you and your team for Christmas and the New Year. Read More

We recently purchased a home with the help of Matthew Nolan and our experience was outstanding.

Matthew demonstrated deep knowledge of the local real estate market and provided invaluable insights that guided our decision-making process.

We highly recommend Marco, Matthew and the team to anyone looking to purchase a home. Their professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail made our home buying experience both successful and enjoyable.

Matthew Nolan and his team were asked to make a representation to my family in order to market and sell a property that had been in the family for over forty years. Three other local agents were also asked to present to us.

We found Rich and Oliva to be the most welcoming and professional agents and they were successful in gaining our trust and our listing. They were realistic with their estimations and didn’t just tell us what they thought we would like to hear.

For the duration of the campaign Matthew has been respectful, professional and open and punctual with the information that he and Suzanne have shared with us.

The respect shown towards my 92 year old mother was first class and humbling and was of the level befitting his own mother or grandmother.

Both Matthew and Suzanne were accessible at any time of the campaign, day evening or night. A few conversations were had well after close of business and nothing was a trouble.

I found their approach on auction day to be comforting and friendly whilst maintaining a level of professionalism that is required in such a tense situation.

The entire team were fantastic and have given us confidence that we had the best possible outcome on auction day. Read More

From the beginning, Matthew provided us a road map of what would be involved in selling our family home, from

practical things to do when clearing out a home including linking us up with tradespeople and professionals, to the emotional side of what to expect in selling our longstanding family home, to the actual process of selling approach and strategy.

Throughout, he kept us updated and guided us as to what would be most helpful at different stages of the campaign. We were very happy with the result.

He’s a rare find as an agent in the Real Estate field!

Many thanks to you and your team for facilitating the sale of our house. Your expertise and knowledge of the area was of great benefit in achieving the sale, especially at short notice, and was done in a professional and friendly way by yourself and Susanne.

We were also very pleased that the property sold above the reserve price.

Once again, our thanks.

I am delighted to share my exceptional experience working with Matthew, Suzanne and the team at Rich and Oliva in the sale of our home. From the very beginning, they demonstrated unparalleled expertise, professionalism, and dedication.

Matthew provided invaluable insights into the market and helped me set a competitive price. He and the team created an impressive marketing strategy that showcased my home beautifully, attracting a lot of potential buyers.

Communication was always prompt and clear, keeping me informed every step of the way, from phone calls about potential buyers to weekly catch ups.

The entire process was smooth and stress free, I couldn't have asked for a better partner in this journey.

I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew Nolan, Suzanne Sulaiman and the Rich & Oliva office to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

They exceeded all my expectations and truly made a significant difference in the sale of my property.

Thank you Matthew & Suzanne for your exceptional service and dedication! Read More

I am incredibly grateful to Matthew and his outstanding team. Their service was not only professional but also efficient, they provided expert support and addressed all our concerns.

Thank you so much for your exceptional service!

Our family’s history goes back to close to 60 years ago when my parents purchased their first home together with Matt Nolan (senior) from Nolan’s Real Estate in Burwood.

Fast forward to 2024 and our mum transitioned to an aged care facility after a fall and decided it was time to sell her beloved family home. There was no choice in her mind as to who would sell the property. Enter Matt Nolan (Junior) who Mum had always exchanged pleasantries every time she saw him in the street. Mum could not have made a better decision in selecting Matt and the Rich and Oliva Team.

Sadly Mum was not to see her home sold as she passed away two weeks prior to the original Auction date.

The property was then withdrawn from the market for a period of time. We relisted the property again 4 weeks ago and on Saturday Mum’s wish was finally realised and her Burwood home was sold on a beautiful sunny winter’s day.

Words cannot express how grateful and appreciative my brother and I are to have had Matt as our agent. His support, kindness, professionalism and genuine care was constantly demonstrated during the last 7 months. Matt has shown honesty, integrity and a very strong understanding of the Burwood market hence our Auction day was a complete success as put our faith in his expertise and we achieved the desired result.

Rich and Oliva have an amazing team consisting of Suzanne, Brian, Mikayla, Marco and a huge thankyou goes to each and every one of them for being part of our journey in what has been a difficult and bittersweet time. Thankyou. Read More

I would like to thank Matthew Nolan and Suzanne Sulaiman for selling my house. Matthew and Suzanne kept me fully informed throughout the marketing campaign, they were very helpful and they are very knowledgeable about the local area. I would also like to thank the various members of the broader Rich and Oliva team which were involved at various times throughout the campaign such as during openings and during the day of the auction.

Besides the design and the carrying out of the marketing campaign, one thing that I found very useful was tapping into Matthew’s network of local tradespeople and professional people. While preparing the house for sale, I engaged people recommended by Matthew such as the painter and the stylist. Read More

A big thank you for delivering a great outcome for the sale of our property. We are very appreciative and impressed with the selling of our property only a week after the inspection first commenced.

You are such an amazing and professional team. Your responses to our questions are always timely. And we felt very informed of every step of the process throughout the time.

Thank you again!

I have known Matthew Nolan for over 20 years, initially from when he was working with his father in the family real estate firm of M J Nolan Pty Ltd and later, after his father retired, when the family firm was absorbed into Rich and Oliver Real Estate. Matthew oversaw for many years, in a most professional manner, the management of our family’s commercial property at Auburn.In this duty he ensured to our satisfaction that the conditions of the lease held by the tenant were strictly adhered to at all times. Later, at the time of sale of the property, he kept me informed during the marketing campaign with regular feedback on the response from advertising and the level of buyer interest.Through all his efforts we achieved a successful sale on the day of the auction. In all the years of association with Matthew,I have found him to be a person of integrity and upright character as well as becoming a most sincere and reliable friend. On the basis of all of this, I would have no hesitation in recommending Matthew to anyone looking to sell their home or investment property. Read More

We were referred to Rich & Oliva Real Estate by a friend who recommended we speak to them about selling our home which had been in the family for over 50 years. Our nerves were instantly put at ease by their professional approach and ability to make what seemed such an emotional time much easier. We were kept well informed during the marketing with Matthew & Marco providing regular feedback and guiding us through the sale. The result of their marketing campaign was more than 95 inspections over 3 weeks and a sale at auction well above what we expected. We would have no hesitation in recommending Rich & Oliva to any local family thinking of selling now, or in the future. Kind Regards, Maria

Dear Matthew, Thank you again for all your assistance & support throughout this whole process. We would like to thank you for your guidance & commitment in selling our property recently. From our first meeting your professionalism and transparency assured us that we would secure the best possible price. We have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone considering to sell their property in the inner west as we are sure that they will receive the same courteous and professional service you and your team provided to us.

We recently sold our house through Rich & Oliva and under the expert guidance of Matthew, Suzanne and the team. The entire experience end-to-end was brilliant. Matthew was relaxed (which kept us relaxed! ) and extremely professional throughout. He listened to our needs and gave us great advice along the way - this made the sale a very stress free experience. Highly recommend the R&O team if you are looking to buy or sell!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and Matthew for your professionalism in the sale of 8 Appian Way.

From start to finish, you both demonstrated exceptional sales skills, professionalism, and a deep understand of the real estate market. Selling a property can often be stressful, your expertise and strategic approach gave us confidence every step of the way. We were kept informed of every development, all questions were answered with clarity, which ensured we were comfortable with each decision. Attention to detail made a significant difference in achieving such a successful outcome. It is clear that you both truly care about your clients and gotabove and beyond to deliver outstanding results. I have no hesitation in recommending you both to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the future.

Kind regards

When it came to selling my home of 33 years, the choice of Matthew Nolan from Rich and Oliva could not have been better.

I felt comfortable with Matthew from the beginning. He had a clear timeline for getting the house ready for sale and suggested contractors I could use.

Matthew, together with Suzanne Sulaiman kept in contact with me regarding the marketing campaign to have everything in place.

Vicky Muscat was an excellent stylist who put the finishing touches to have the house looking it's best.

The whole process was much less stressful than it could have been.
