Matt Gates

  • Director | Selling Principal | RWSC

Ray White Queensland’s Number 1 Agent (2020–2022) and Chairman’s Elite Performer since 2017, Matt Gates is synonymous with Sanctuary Cove real estate, having achieved over $1 billion in career sales.

Love and respect for people’s homes is in Matt’s blood. At just 18 years old, he began his career, receiving the very best mentorship under renowned real estate moguls, Andrew and Gregory Bell. With an enduring respect for integrity, peerless commitment to client service and unmatched enthusiasm, Matt rose to become Sanctuary Cove’s leading prestige property agent.

Matt sets a lofty standard with his diligence, determination and supreme negotiation skills. Possessing meticulous time-management and backed by the strength of Australia’s leading Ray White Office, Matt holds fast to his personal philosophy of never settling without trying for more, delivering value with every transaction.

For Matt, the key to success in Residential Sales is really listening to a client’s needs, applying creative marketing, thorough follow-up, courtesy and careful consideration when providing advice to clients buying and selling real estate. Over the years, he has built a trusted reputation for exceptional and genuine service, setting him apart in a profession often trademarked as being inauthentic.

Matt has broken every record house price across all segments of the Sanctuary Cove marketplace. But more importantly, at every turn, he has cultivated deep-seeded trust and loyalty that is unmatched in the Gold Coast’s prestige real estate market.
