Knight Frank strengthens South East Queensland Valuation & Advisory team
16 September 2026
Brisbane, Australia – Knight Frank has strengthened its South East Queensland Valuation & Advisory capability, bringing together commercial and residential valuation services together under an expanded and streamlined team.
Led by Partner, Head of Valuation & Advisory, Queensland Matthew Ryan, who has nearly 20 years’ experience in the industry in Queensland, the team will provide valuation and advisory expertise across commercial, industrial, retail, residential and specialised property sectors, including accommodation and hospitality assets.
The team has extensive expertise in commercial valuations and advisory services, with a long-standing track record including Townsville and Mackay, and residential valuations in South East Queensland.
The move will see an expansion in services to include commercial valuations in the region, which had previously been provided by another licensee.
With a growing team of valuation professionals across South East Queensland and an established network throughout Queensland, the business is positioned to deliver local market expertise supported by Knight Frank's national platform and global reach.
Mr Ryan has been with Knight Frank since 2006 and is a Director of Knight Frank Townsville, Knight Frank Mackay and Knight Frank Residential and Commercial Valuations South East Queensland.
Mr Ryan said bringing commercial and residential expertise together under a single leadership structure would provide clients with broader market insights and enhanced service capabilities.
"This expansion marks an exciting new chapter for our valuations business in South East Queensland," he said.
"We have built a strong residential valuations platform across the region and are now expanding our capability to include commercial valuation and advisory services under the one team.
"The result is a broader, more integrated offering that combines expertise across commercial, industrial, retail, residential and specialised property assets.
"South East Queensland continues to be one of Australia's strongest growth markets, supported by population growth, infrastructure investment and strong business confidence. Our expanded team is well positioned to help clients navigate these opportunities and make informed property decisions.
"What differentiates us is our combination of local knowledge and ownership with the backing of Knight Frank's national and global network, allowing us to provide connected insights across markets and asset classes."
Knight Frank's expanded valuation capability comes at a time when South East Queensland continues to attract strong investment, driven by population growth, major infrastructure projects and increasing national and international interest in the region's property market.
Knight Frank Managing Director Queensland Justin Bond said the strengthened Valuations & Advisory team reflected the firm's long-term commitment to supporting clients across one of Australia's fastest-growing regions.
"South East Queensland continues to demonstrate exceptionally strong fundamentals and remains a key growth market for property investment and development," he said.
"The combination of residential and commercial expertise in our highly experienced Valuations and Advisory team provides valuable market intelligence across the full property spectrum and ensures we can continue delivering the high-quality, consistent advice our clients expect from Knight Frank.
"With significant infrastructure investment, continued population growth and the lead-up to the 2032 Olympic Games, Queensland is exceptionally well placed for long-term growth, and our expanded valuations team is ready to support clients as they capitalise on these opportunities."
