Excellent result Once again

This was our 5th property that we have sold through McDonald Upton Real Estate. We have continued to return because of the professionalism, advice and service we have always received. No other agent can match this. As a vendor, it is a complex process looking through the maze of Real Estate Agencies to come up with one that we can both trust and suits out needs. This is why we continue to deal with McDonald Upton Real Estate. Paul has always been honest. At no time did Paul attempt to inflate the valuation of the property to secure our business. Instead we were given a realistic range in this everchanging market. Paul gave us a detailed professional presentation of the marketing plan but also listened to any of our ideas or concerns. Without a doubt, the personalized approach from Paul was most valued by us. We always felt confident with any discussion and negotiation. We were fully informed on the attendance at the open for inspections and were fully briefed as to who were prospective buyers. Thank you once again for working hard to successfully sell yet another of our family properties.

Couldn’t be Happier

Rhys Afford was very professional representing McDonald Upton Real Estate. He shared his extreme knowledge with me in many ways, including recommendations for trades that I required. He always made himself available and gave me his time if I required further information etc. Rhys was very easy to communicate with and would listen to my thoughts as well as sharing his own. He always rang me straight after an inspection with details of how it went and I felt confident my property was being looked after by the best possible person. Best decision ever having Rhys Afford from McDonald Upton Real Estate to look after and successfully selling my property.

Rhys was a pleasure to work with on the sale of our apartment in Essendon. He was professional, personable and made us feel at ease throughout the entire sale process. We would highly recommend Rhys and the entire McDonald Upton team.

Not just an agent but an all round legend

Working with Joe was effortless, dedication was immeasurable. Always supportive and knowledge and work ethic was a true testament of his success. He was understanding, a great listener and did everything he could in the process to ensure a sale was made that was reflective of the market and our property. The whole Team at McDonald were like a family lending helping hands when required. Would recommend Joe and his Team to friends families and strangers!!
