Exceptionally Easy and Successful Sale Process

Exceptionally Easy and Successful Sale Process

Simon is a Subject Matter Expert in the Real Estate industry. He understands people, and how to create relationships and trust, and has a great long term reputation in the industry. His market knowledge is up to date and he has an excellent instinct for a houses value. We were very happy with the Upton McDonald sale process and Simon’s role in helping us negotiate what is always a difficult time.

PROFESSIONAL AND CARING.

We found Paul to be not only very experienced and knowledgeable(particularly in our neighbourhood ) ;but also genuine,down to earth and very easy to get along with. We were expecting the sale of our home to be very stressful but with Paul's guidance it was a positive experience and a great result! Everyone in the team /office were extremely professional and we felt very comfortable interacting with them.

True craftsman at his trade

Jo is always happy to go the extra mile and help you with whatever you need, he has lots of contacts to get your house ready for sale and also help with getting a new place to live. Jo is quick to respond to calls and messages and is very professional and positive in his manner and demeanour. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Jo and would highly recommend him as he knows the area of Essendon extremely well.

Perfection from Start to Finish

Perfection from Start to Finish

It will be hard to put into words just how incredible the selling experience was with Julia Murphy as our agent. The entire process from start to finish was handled flawlessly and with so much care, attention to detail and professionalism provided throughout. From the moment we met Julia she provided us with so much comfort and confidence. Her knowledge of not just the area and market but the buyers could not have been more spot-on. Julia's planning of the entire campaign was done to absolute perfection and the end result a testament to the amount of hard work she put into every fine detail. I simply have no doubt without Julia we would not have achieved the result we did. I honestly cannot recommend Julia enough. If you are looking for a Sales Agent that knows her market and buyers, an agent that puts attention into every little detail of the campaign, one who is honest and builds rapport with not just you but her buyers then there simply won't be any better. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you, and what you achieved for us and the life this will provide for our young family.

I can only speak with the highest regard about the service that Julia provided for the sale of our property. Throughout the whole process she was incredibly impressive, professional and a delight to work with. She gave us an honest appraisal, marketed our property to the highest standard, nurtured interested buyers and achieved a stunning result. I am sooo glad we chose to go with Julia and cannot recommend her more highly. Thank you Julia!

Simon Cookson Review

Simon Cookson was professional, reliable and helpful. He kept me in the loop at all times and provided high quality feedback after each and every 'open for inspection'. Simon was also efficient and effective, particularly on the day of the auction where he was able to gain a bid on the house well above the reserve price. I am very happy with my decision to choose Simon as my real estate agent.

Complete professional - fantastic result.

We couldn’t be happier with the service Rhys provided. From the appraisal he provided early in the piece right up until auction day Rhys made selling our property an easy process. We loved the level of communication after each open for inspection, the regular updates, check ins and feedback were really helpful and we felt at ease with so much transparency and communication. We had absolute faith in Rhys on auction day and as auctioneer he really delivered. We were thrilled with our result would absolutely use Rhys and the team at McDonald Upton again in the future.

Couldn't recommend Joe highly enough, was fantastic on all levels of communication, and his knowledge of the area and the real estate industry is amazing. Nothing was too hard for Joe so easy to deal with, very friendly he made us feel realaxed and we had confidence in him right from the start and he made the sale of our property stress free and achieved a fantastic result which we are very grateful. The whole Mcdonald Upton team were great to deal with.
