Testimonials
NTC worked with Matt Pedrazzini to undertake a property search and lease negotiation for our new Melbourne office.
Matt worked collaboratively with our team to apply his local knowledge of the market and orchestrated a competitive process to provide us with a compelling position to relocate our firm. Matt added real value in determining new footprint requirements rather than accepting that the existing size and format was fixed, and this resulted in a significant increase in quality of amenity while remaining within a very tight budget.
Without Matt’s responsive assistance and expertise, we would not have been able to negotiate the favourable lease terms that we have. We appreciated Matt’s knowledge, expertise and the professionalism he displayed throughout the process.
Graham Giannini | Chief Corporate Officer | National Transport Commission
Kao Australia worked closely with Matt Pedrazzini to help identify a new corporate head office premise in Melbourne. Matt deftly achieved our challenge of finding a more than suitable location for our technical relocation brief. Matt exhibited broad and deep commercial expertise and negotiating skills to deliver outstanding outcomes for our business. Matt was attentive, responsive and an invaluable sounding board to help achieve the best possible deal, including favourable signage rights. We are thoroughly delighted with the outcome and would not have been able to deliver such high levels of satisfaction to our staff and stakeholders without Matt's involvement. We would happily recommend Matt to other occupiers requiring real estate support.
Dora Ngov | Commercial Business Director | Kao Australia Pty Limited
We recently engaged Matt Pedrazzini to support us with the acquisition of our first media school in Australia. Matt’s market knowledge and experience with education (9b) users was invaluable when negotiating our lease documentation and managing our expectations. We found Matt’s willingness to provide market intelligence and offer support and advice throughout the project refreshing. United POP would be happy to recommend Matt to other occupiers looking to negotiate new commercial leases and will no doubt reach out to him for support on future projects.
Dominik Guyer | Head of International Student Recruitment | UnitedPop
Slater & Gordon required some temporary support on short notice and Colliers International responded quickly to place Matt Pedrazzini into the role of ‘Transition Manager – Head of Facilities and Administration’. With a background in lease management and a long history of working with occupiers Matt fitted in quickly and used his experience to attend to our immediate property issues. Not only was Matt able to drive the divestment program and support our FY19 budgeting, he was instrumental in bringing the full time replacement up to speed quickly. We would happily recommend Matt to other organisations requiring a true partner for national real estate expertise and robust strategic advice.
