About Matthew Smythe
Matthew Smythe stands as one of Sydney's most accomplished real estate principals, with a remarkable career spanning over two decades on the Lower North Shore. Since beginning his real estate journey in 2002, Matthew has built an extraordinary reputation, achieving over $1.5 billion in property sales and establishing himself as a consistent record-breaker across the most prestigious harbourside suburbs.
As Principal of Belle Property Mosman, alongside fellow award-winning principals Mark Jackson and David Benjafield, Matthew leads one of the network's most successful offices. The Mosman office has consistently ranked among the top performers across Belle Property Australasia and was recognised as the #1 Property Management Team in Australia in both 2022 and 2024—a testament to the team's exceptional service standards and market expertise.
Matthew's sales achievements are distinguished by his ability to set and hold price records in some of Sydney's most competitive markets. He currently holds the highest price per square metre record ever achieved in Cremorne Point and McMahons Point, and has set benchmark prices in Mosman, Kirribilli, and Cammeray. His record for the highest auction price ever achieved on the Lower North Shore demonstrates his exceptional auction skills and market positioning abilities.
Industry recognition has been a constant throughout Matthew's career. He was ranked in the Top 100 Agents in Australia at the prestigious REB Awards every single year from 2015 through 2023—a nine-year consecutive streak that reflects his sustained excellence and market leadership. He has also been honoured at the Real Estate Institute Awards for Excellence in Auction Marketing, highlighting his mastery of this critical sales method.
Beyond individual achievements, Matthew has demonstrated exceptional leadership in building high-performing teams. His Neutral Bay office, which he co-leads with Mark Jackson, was consistently ranked in the top 10 offices nationally between 2012 and 2020, and won the prestigious title of #1 Leasing Office of the Year nationally in 2019. This success in property management alongside sales excellence showcases Matthew's comprehensive understanding of the real estate industry.
Matthew's connection to Mosman extends far beyond professional expertise. He proposed to his wife at Balmoral Beach—one of Mosman's most iconic locations—and his children attend local schools, making him deeply invested in the community he serves. This nearly 20-year association with the area has given him unparalleled knowledge of the local market dynamics, property histories, and neighbourhood characteristics that distinguish each pocket of the Lower North Shore.
