Richard Matthews Expands with Strategic Rent Roll Acquisition

Independent powerhouse Richard Matthews Real Estate has taken another major step forward in its growth strategy, acquiring the property management portfolio of Abode Real Estate — a move that strengthens the agency’s footprint across Sydney’s Inner West, South West and Hills District.

The acquisition sees a significant number of landlord clients transition into the care of the Richard Matthews team, led by directors Richard Baini, Matthew Everingham, and Vivek Tailor — a leadership trio that brings over 100 years of combined experience in Sydney real estate.

Described by the group as a “seamless” integration, the newly acquired portfolio adds considerable depth to the agency’s property management division while complementing its already strong sales presence in the Hills District.

The team’s in-depth market knowledge, local expertise, and long-standing commitment to service have been key drivers behind the brand’s continued success.

“This isn’t just about adding to our numbers,” said Baini. “It’s about elevating the experience for landlords and tenants.

The expansion of our rent roll is part of a broader vision to grow our footprint while remaining true to our core values of integrity, trust, and results.”

Everingham echoed that sentiment, reinforcing the team’s focus on a smooth transition and continuity of service.

“We recognise the trust landlords placed in their previous team and we’re committed to upholding and exceeding those expectations,” he said.

“Personalised service, open communication, and a results-driven approach have always been at the heart of the Richard Matthews brand.”

The acquisition further positions the agency as a go-to independent within the Sydney market, particularly in high-demand pockets where consistent rental yields and quality management are paramount.

Looking ahead, Tailor said the move is part of a sustained strategy of growth — but not at the expense of the agency’s values.“We’ve always believed every client is a client for life,” he said.

“That belief doesn’t waver as we grow. We’re excited to welcome the landlords from Abode Real Estate into the Richard Matthews family and continue delivering world-class service across every touchpoint.”
