Understands the market and reads the market conditions

Joe was a pleasure to deal with during the sale of our house. He kept us informed the whole way during the process and his experience enabled him to read the market well and secure a great outcome for us. At all times he our best interests at heart. We would have no hesitation in recommending Joe to anyone selling their house.

Julia's accurate initial appraisal of the property and time frame to sell demonstrated her thorough knowledge of the local area and understanding of the current market. She kept us informed throughout the sale process and was always available for any questions that we had. I would highly recommend Julia and the team from McDonald Upton. Thanks again Julia

On the first meeting with Simon he advised us to get busy preparing the house for sale, then to give him a call. On our second meeting he gave us an accurate appraisal and explained in detail, the terms and conditions of the sale. From then on it was all plain sailing. Simon generated trust through his professional manner and his efficient process. In all, it was a stressless experience.

Kathy and I are both very happy with Julia's contribution to our recent property purchase.

Julia has shown expert market knowledge and advice, on our decision to find the best property for our particular needs. We began our search towards the end of last year. Julia has been very supportive, informative, and encouraging throughout this journey. We thoroughly recommend Julia, and McDonald-Upton both for the sale of our previous property, and purchase of our new property.

MAGNIFICENT RESULT

We engaged Simon to sell a deceased estate property in Essendon by way of auction. There were many inspections followed by the auction which was well attended and attracted good bidding. The price achieved was well above expectations and a grand result in a sporadic market. Simon’s advice along the way was excellent. Strongly recommend!
