Buying his first property at only 19, Managing Director Matthew Hughes has a long-standing passion for wealth creation through property investment.

Like many buyer’s agents, Matthew began his career as a selling agent only to realise quite quickly that his passion lay in working in the best interests of the buyer, rather than for the seller. Matthew has been working exclusively with buyers for over 12 years, guiding them towards achieving their objectives through sound and unbiased strategies.

CPA represents the culmination of this experience and Matthew’s passion for working as an independent adviser, providing the highest level of personal service. Matthew initially meets with all new clients, then coordinates with his experienced team to ensure every client need is met, including but not limited to:

  • Review of existing assets, finances and client risk profile

  • Home buyer brief or investment strategy development

  • Property research, search, due diligence and acquisition

  • Ongoing reviews, advice and support to ensure continuing and responsible management of risk and cash flow.

Matthew has also founded and operates the following companies as part of the CPA Group:

  • Capital Lending Advisory – National Finance & Mortgage Broking Team

  • Matte Black Real Estate – Perth and Victoria-based Property Management Services

  • Hunter Capital – Residential Property Development Firm

Outside of property, Matthew is a dedicated husband and father with a passion for tackling difficult challenges – each year he sets himself a new goal, in previous years having completed marathons, ultra marathons, Iron Man triathlons and even competing in a boxing match – often aligned with and raising much-needed funds for various charities along the way.
