About Me
Matt Clarkson is a driven next generation agent with youth and enthusiasm on his side. He believes that so many agents can talk the talk but not walk the walk, making promises yet under-delivering. Matt gives 100% to every sale, delivering a great client experience and living up to his word.
A licensed real estate agent, he is also an accredited auctioneer, a registered stock and station agent and a registered strata managing agent.
Matt embraces the latest technological innovations to increase exposure for his vendors’ properties and showcase the Stone brand in the marketplace. His own core values align with that of Stone when it comes to what constitutes a great agent: being respectful, showing humility, seeking growth and development and always working with intent.
As a proud local, he loves the area’s sense of community and lifestyle. With its strong first home buyers market, he understands that this demographic can approach him and feel comfortable, sharing information and making the process smooth and stress free.
Matt was initially drawn to Stone’s high-end digital marketing, industry leading technology and impressive brand and after learning more, the company’s culture and ethos strongly resonated with him.

What People Are Saying About Matt Clarkson
We recently purchased our property through Matt and found him to be highly professional and approachable from the first time we met him to the end of the buying process. We viewed the house on Easter Monday and I believe this shows how keen he is to make a sale and work outside traditional business hours. Matt was contactable at any time of the day and night to answer our many questions. Even though as buyers we knew that Matt had the vendors best interests at heart we felt that he wanted all parties to feel happy with the outcome. When it comes time for us to sell we will definitely be in touch again with Matt. Thank you!

Matthew was very professional and easy to deal with. He kept us informed and updated on a weekly basis and always called if he had questions for us. I would recommend Stone real estates for any sales or rental properties. A great team of people to deal with.
- Kath & Nick Vendor 30 Hickey St Cessnock
Working with Matt was fantastic!
He has a true passion for his work which is great to see! Continually touching base and being honest every step of the way. Matt went above and beyond with our campaign and it was great to feel like we had someone fighting to get the best for us rather than just getting it sold. Matt made himself available every step of the way, from quick private viewings to meetings with the bank for valuation. My first words were "Lets get it sold within the week" and he got it! And at a higher price than I was expecting!
We will definitely be getting Matt back the next time we sell a house!!!

Matt was professional, comforting and kind. He explained clearly his process for selling, marketing and open homes. He kept us informed with the progress at every stage.
- Julia Seller 123 Melbourne St, Aberdare
My husband and I are experienced buyers who have dealt with many agents. Bitter experience has taught us to maintain extreme scepticism at all times.
We can honestly say that our experience with Matt blew us away. We have never dealt with an agent so clearly knowledgeable, ethical and professional. We kept waiting for the all-too-common misinformation, negligence or unprofessionalism to be revealed but, for once, it was just plain straightforward and open. There is absolutely mothing we would change about our purchasing experience with Matt. It was so refreshing to find that the way he presented himself initially was exactly who he turned out to be. Not only that, but he's a downright lovely guy in general and we like him as a person.
We also want to do a shoutout to the lovely office staff at Stone, the vibe in there was always great. Matt isn't "one of our top recommendations". He's our ONLY recommendation and, given the choice, we wouldn't ever bother dealing with anyone else. Thanks again mate!

- Michelle – Seller 79 Ferguson St, Cessnock
We recently bought our dream home from Matt, he made us feel very comfortable, made the process smooth and was really helpful. Matt was actually one of the major selling points of the process given we felt he was trustworthy, have lots of information about the property and referred us to services we needed. Thanks Matt
- Kristy & Daniel – Buyer 79 Ferguson St, Cessnock
We first met Matt 12mths ago when he came to do a valuation on our property. We decided to hold on to the property for 12 more mths to see what the market was doing. We rented our house out through Matt’s office. 12 mths later we got 50k more then the valuation and 25k more then we were expecting!!! The house didn’t even go to market - sold straight from the database! Matt assisted us in finding a new property, answered our questions after hours! In the future, we won’t hesitate to contact Matt & his team!
- Wade & Chloe – Seller 27 Richard Rd, Rutherford
Matt has been extremely helpful throughout our whole experience. He’s friendly and humorous personality has guided us through what we thought would be a stressful time quite easily. He is very trustworthy and a man of his word. He has great knowledge of the local market and is really good at what he does. I would highly recommend Matt for anything real estate related. Overall fantastic experience.
- Kylie & Adam – Buyer 27 Richard Rd, Rutherford
We can not rate Matthew highly enough, after an inspection he spoke to us to see what we were looking for and said that he had a property not being advertised that we might be interested in. After viewing this other property an offer was made by us and accepted. Matthew always made himself available for viewings and questions, and always responded promptly. Was extremely helpful in contacting the vendor with our questions too. If we could give Matt 100 stars we would :)
- Jo – Buyer 30 Tomalpin St, Kearsley
I had been communicating with Matthew for a couple of weeks from where I lived in Penrith regarding 5 Starling Street Aberglasslyn, and through Matthews description the home appeared to be what we were looking for, an arrangement was made to see the home on the 19/09/20 and following several other home inspections, we met Matthew at 5 Starling St and his friendly approach and easygoing manner, along with his professional negotiations with the vendor sealed the deal for our purchase. We would have no hesitation in recommending Matthew and Stone Real Estate to any potential buyer looking for a stress free transaction. Thank you Matthew and Stone Real Estate.
- Tony & Jean – Buyer 5 Starling St, Aberglasslyn
Matt has great people skills, and he is very honest and professional. It has been a pleasure to deal with this fine young man.
- Phil & Grace – Seller 3 Blacks Rd, Paxton
We found Mathew has finger on the pulse of the realestate business and came across as a keen professional with loads of enthusiasm and personality.what surprised me was the amount of potential buyers on his database the reason for the fast sale of our property selling off market for more money than we expected In all the whole Experience was seamless and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mathew to anyone who wants to sell quick and for more.
- Kelly & Rob – Seller 8 Rawson St, Aberdare
Matt demonstrated a sound understanding of the market, he presented information very professionally and achieved our expectations. Matt was always up front and straight to the point, which was very appreciated.
