McDonald Upton's professional, personalised
almost 2 years ago
McDonald Upton's professional, personalised

McDonald Upton recently helped us with the sale of my mother's Essendon home, a home that had been in the family for almost seventy years. Our initial meeting was with Paul McDonald. He wasn't the only agent approached. Like most of the others interviewed, he showed a professional enthusiasm for the task and a keen understanding of Essendon's Real Estate climate. Unlike the others, his approach was low key, straightforward and for want of a better word, honest. Akin to a trusted family retainer. In other circumstances you'd be happy to call him friend. As the campaign progressed we were continually kept in the loop and it was clear that he, Rhys and the team behind them were hard at it. This was borne out when, on the day of the auction, half of Melbourne turned out for the event. The result was very satisfactory, both for ourselves and, I believe, for the purchaser. Smiles all around. And it must be said Rhys Afford is a very smart young man, he having chosen such an astute mentor. Thanks again McDonald Upton. Job well done.

I had the pleasure of working with Rhys Afford from McDonald Upton, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience.

Paul was excellent to deal with. His communication was perfect keeping us updated with every development. Always optimistic and assisted us with the stress in selling our family home. I would not hesitate to recommend Paul & the team at McDonald Upton to sell your home.

What Sets Her Apart - Market Knowledge, Professionalism & Communication Skills

I recently had the pleasure of working with Georgie on the successful sale of one of my investment properties located in Essendon. From the beginning, her extensive market knowledge of the suburb was evident. Georgie provided detailed valuable insights into local trends and sales results, which guided and supported any decisions I needed to make along the way. Georgie's communication skills are exceptional. I was always kept informed throughout the campaign, with all questions answered promptly. Whether by phone, email or in person, Georgie always made herself available demonstrating a high level of professionalism and a positive attitude at all times. Georgie is an efficient real estate agent, always well prepared and brings a great level of energy with her! I highly recommend Georgie to anyone looking to purchase or sell as her impeccable professionalism, communication skills and market knowledge truely sets her apart.
