Matthew has always shown an interest in the property industry and Barbers has helped nurture this passion. He began working part time for Barbers in 2008, before graduating from The University of West of England with a BSc (Hons) degree in Property Management & Investment in 2012 and becoming full time. Now, Matthew is an experienced Residential Sales Valuer and provides clients with professional advice and assistance in deciding how best to market their properties for sale.
