International real estate network One Agency is thrilled to announce the addition of husband and wife duo, Matt and Ursula Smith, to its growing membership, celebrating the launch of One Agency Matt & Ursula Smith, on the New South Wales Central Coast. This strategic move empowers the duo to leverage the strength of the respected international brand to provide tailored real estate solutions to their community.
Principal and Licensed Real Estate Agent, Mr Matt Smith, brings over 20 years of industry experience to the new venture, which includes the successful operation of a previous family-run agency.
“Joining One Agency was a natural choice, both for the freedom the model provides but also the family feel that is evident across the network,” says Mr Smith.
Recently recognised as Agent of the Year for both Kanwal and Wyongah by Realestate.com.au, Matt is known for his straightforward communication and deep local knowledge. Business partner and Sales Agent, Mrs Ursula Smith, compliments this expertise with her reputation for five-star customer service and dedication to guiding clients through the significant milestones of buying, selling, and investing.
Transitioning to this new business model represents a significant evolution in how modern real estate professionals can operate efficiently and independently. Mr Smith highlighted the advantages of this transition, stating, “The One Agency model represents a fundamentally better way to operate our business. The flexibility it provides allows us to step away from the old, one-size-fits-all approach and truly tailor our business to the specific needs of our clients.”
Paul Davies, Founder and CEO of One Agency, welcomed the new addition to the network, emphasising the operational advantages of the platform. “We are thrilled to have Matt and Ursula join the One Agency family,” Mr Davies said.
“Their proven track record and deep commitment to the Central Coast community provides them with a strong foundation to grow their business. This is what our model was designed for—to empower agents like Matt and Ursula to build their own independent business while leveraging the support and strength of our international brand.”
The new agency will focus on core suburbs including Kanwal, Wyongah, Woongarrah, Lake Haven, Charmhaven, and Wallarah. Both Matt and Ursula possess a profound connection to the communities in this region. Matt grew up in the area, witnessing its evolution firsthand, while Ursula relocated from Sydney over 25 years ago. Together they support a range of initiatives that include local schools and the community-based, non-profit charity Her Cave — a local women-led support group aimed at strengthening community ties.
They understand the unique appeal of the Central Coast, guiding clients through a diverse property landscape that ranges from modern waterfront residences to classic coastal holiday homes.
“The region is becoming more and more popular with homebuyers ranging from young families to downsizers. When you consider the average price in Sydney compared to up here, it’s an attractive choice for many,” says Mr Smith.
The Central Coast property market is continuing to draw attention for its unique combination of affordability, lifestyle appeal, and growth potential. With rising property prices in urban capitals pushing home buyers to seek alternatives, the region stands out as a prime destination.
Recent data highlights the Central Coast as one of three affordable local government areas (LGAs) in New South Wales[i], offering significant value compared to Sydney while maintaining proximity through accessible transport links through train and freeway. Particularly compelling is the strong economic underpinnings, including a lower unemployment rate of 3.7%, compared to the state’s 4%, and impressive rental yields, matching Sydney’s 2.7% for houses and exceeding it for units at 4.7%.
Combined with the increasing prevalence of remote work, homes boasting water views in suburbs like Lake Haven and Charmhaven, which would command multimillion-dollar price tags in Sydney, become incredibly attractive for buyers looking to secure a superior lifestyle without foregoing connectivity to the city.
