A patient and straight talker

Simon was very patient in what turned out to be a sluggish market for my home. He always gave realistic and attainable suggestions for improved presentation in a home that had to be lived in during the sale period, which took longer than expected. Appropriate price reductions were suggested when the proposed price range did not attract sufficient interest.

Milo / Joe and staff at McDonald Upton handled the sale of our property with professionalism and attention to detail throughout the process of selling our home. Always keeping us informed along the way. Having experience and local knowledge at the top end of the market was important to us and Milo and Joe certainly didn’t disappoint. Thanks again to all at McDonald Upton in particular Milo, Joe, Georgie and Karen. Regards Anthony & Oh

Experience of selling my home

Experience of selling my home

I chose McDonaldUpton Real Estate to sell my home due to knowing Paul McDonald through selling my previous home and Paul’s long experience in understanding the Essendon area. I was very fortunate to be able to work directly with Paul who was ably supported by Rhys at different phases in the campaign. The experience of preparing for and selling my home spanned over a period of 12 weeks and involved a gamut of emotions and strong commitment. Paul was extremely aware of the stress and angst that ebbed and flowed during the process. Paul was instrumental in supporting me in managing the mix of these emotions. His ability to openly communicate on a regular basis either calling or making a time to meet to discuss where things were at helped me to manage the unknown and from this my trust of Paul grew during the process. Paul’s communication skills, knowledge of different real estate scenarios, ability to share information in a calm manner, willingness to listen and the all important ability to advocate on my behalf, were attributes I valued enormously. The final outcome was very positive and I was much relieved when I sold my home. Thank you Paul and Rhys for your positivity and supporting me through the process.

I didn't think twice in engaging Simon to sell my second property 19yrs later. A true professional who kept me informed and reassured me every step of the way. His marketing team and strategy delivered a result exceeding my expectations.

Rhys exceeded our expectations as our real estate agent! His professionalism was evident from the start, and he consistently kept us informed at every stage of the sale process. What truly stood out was his honesty and transparency about the likely outcome, which helped us make informed decisions with confidence. Rhys's dedication to ensuring a smooth and successful sale was commendable, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend Rhys to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy real estate agent.
