Great experience with Paul, fortunate to get a strong sale in the current environment

Great experience with Paul, fortunate to get a strong sale in the current environment

We had used McDonald Upton for letting our property and we continued to use their expertise for selling our property in Coburg. We had a lot of communication with Paul leading up to the house going on the market and the place looked fantastic. We were concerned with the Covid-19 restrictions but Paul and Rhys guided us through and managed to quickly find some interesting buyers. We sold at a price we were happy with and were very happy with the service provided.

A great experience!

A great experience!

Paul was fantastic to deal with when we sold our first property! He walked us through the process, was always available for queries if we needed and kept us very well informed throughout our sales campaign. We were very pleased with the outcome of the sale and do not think we would have had the same result if Paul wasn't our agent. I would highly recommend him, and absolutely use Paul again if we were to sell our property.

5 star service

Julia sold this property to me originally and I was impressed with her service so when I decided to sell this property again I decided to go with her and she did not disappoint. She was really prompt with her response and nothing I asked of her was too much. She is a lovely individual and I feel that she looks out for both the seller and the buyer which is great. I highly recommend Julia. Thankyou so much for your help and professionalism. Much appreciated!!!!!

Outstanding service and professionalism

We couldn't speak more highly of Rhys. He is approachable, friendly and very efficient. Rhys was always easy to contact and had outstanding knowledge of the property he was selling. He made the whole process from first inspection to settlement a breeze, and we are now very happy home owners! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rhys to anyone looking to buy or sell property.

Rhys is competent, diligent and hardworking.

Rhys wasn't my primary contact for the sale of our property, but he was persistent and with Simon they got the job done. I was very impressed with Rhys, he seems like a genuinely nice bloke.

Sheryl Upton - A professional and friendly agent.

Sheryl is the complete professional! She is always clear and easy to understand even when addressing complex areas of real estate. She covers all aspects of the experience for you, the easy and the difficult. Her manner is friendly but respectful, informed and informative. She relates well to visitors to the property and is meticulous in keeping you informed of the progress of the sale process. She is always available to answer questions. Very impressive!

McDonald Upton are a boutique agency in Essendon that I first had dealings with renting the property I have just sold . I was very happy with my experience then and even happier now with the professionalism of Paul McDonald. Paul was always there to answer questions and made us feel very comfortable throughout this whole journey. He had a very down to earth manner and was approachable at all times . Will definitely use this agency again !

Joe is the best of the best.

Joe is the best of the best.

We have listed and bought multiple properties with Joe, the reason for this is we know we are looked after from the beginning right through to the end. Selling is and can be a very daunting, stressful and emotional time in your life, but with Joe and his expertise in Real Estate (and his compassion in understanding the emotion that comes with selling a family home), we are completely at ease and comfortable in the knowledge that he will do his utmost best for us, which he has proven time and time again. He guides you from the beginning to the end and is upfront and completely honest from the beginning. Initially our instinct told us he was genuine and that proved to be right. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you for everything Joe.

Simon was excellent and on the spot in his appraisal.

Simon was professional, honest and provided good feedback through-out the whole process of selling our mother's home. He was there at everyone opening and gave us constant feedback. I would strongly recommend Simon Cookson and Paul McDonald when considering selling your home.
