Donovan Murphy

It was a pleasure to deal with Donovan Murphy and his assistant Amelia Hearl when selling our house. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they made the process of selling easy. Donovan is honest and hard working and got us a great price. He even took calls from us while on his annual vacation. I would unreservedly recommend Donovan to everyone. It was a pleasure doing business with him and Amelia.

Excellent service

We first came across Donovan in our search for a new home. As a buyer, we were very much impressed by his professionalism, his positive energy and trustworthy opinions that we decided to appoint him as our agent when it came to selling our existing home. Throughout the selling process, Donovan not only provided us with invaluable advice around the selling strategy and kept us well-informed at each stage of the campaign, he also responded promptly to all our questions and see that our requests were met. In addition, he and his associate Amelia brought great energy and enthusiasm to the selling process, which further helped put our minds at ease as a seller. The brilliant result obtained for our property far exceeded our expectations even in the current buoyant market, and it would not have happened without the hard work that Donovan and his team put in for us. Having experienced Donovan's services as a buyer and a seller, we would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to sell their property on the lower north shore.

Professional and Personable

It was a pleasure to deal with Donovan Murphy and his team. They were up front and forth-coming with requested information and readily available to answer any questions I had in relation to the subject property. I believe Donovan acted with a high standard of professionalism and integrity and in the best interest of his vendors.

Thanks to Piers and his team

Thankyou for the professional way you and your team assisted us in selling our home in December 2014. From start to finish, your honest advice and feedback, and negotiation skills, ensured the home was sold in the time frame we wanted. Also, your advice on the purchase of our new home, which was with another agent, was also invaluable. We would not hesitate in recommending Piers to any prospective client. Regards, Jodie Adams and Gary Lazzarotto

Sale of our House

Donovan and his assistant Amelia worked tirelessly to sell the place having had upward of 80 groups through during the open house period. I would recommend Donovan to any of my friends that I know are selling. The only disappointing thing was we did not get more bidders on the day to achieve a better result.

The result was my primarly motive when selling my property

Donovan outlined a framework for the sale, implemented it and successfully exceeded my optimistic expectations. For those selling on the Lower North Shore, appointing Donovan is a successful strategy.

Outstanding professional service

8 December 2014 To whom it may concern Re: Sale of 2/35 Bay Road Waverton 2060 A week ago, my wife and I settled on the sale of our townhouse of the last 14 years. From the moment we made our decision to sell, Donovan Murphy ensured that the process ran smoothly and to plan. Competently assisted by his CSM, Amelia Hearl, it is difficult to imagine how our experience could have been better. We had taken care to observe Donovan’s style over the course of several Open Homes he had hosted in Waverton and surrounds. We were impressed by his knowledge of the property market in our suburb and, upon our commission of his services, by the way he tailored our own sales campaign accordingly. We found him to always be as good as his word; if he said he would do something, he delivered. We quickly realised that we could relax, knowing that he was on top of his game and that we were in safe hands. His personable manner was also thoroughly professional and genuine, with detailed attention to every aspect of the sale. He was unfailingly confident and realistic; characteristics that were not misplaced. On the basis of our very successful experience and welcome outcome, we would recommend Donovan Murphy without hesitation or reservation. Yours faithfully Dr Edward White and Dr Julie Winstanley

Testimonial

The first time we met Donovan Murphy of McGrath, we already knew that he is the man whom we can trust. His team which included Peter Chauncy explained to us very clearly about their commitment as well as ours before we signed the agreement with them. They also gave us quite an accurate and realistic estimate about how much our apartment would be. At that moment we were sure that we had chosen the right agent. Donovan is a man of extremely integrity, very friendly and exceptionally hard working. He always returns our calls at his earliest convenience – this is a very important issue to the clients. He gave us a very detailed report right after each open house inspection about the feedback from those who came to the open house. With his outstanding professionalism, extraordinary experience and excellent knowledge in this market trend, he and his team, i.e. Peter Chauncy and Amelia Hearl, sold our apartment at a very satisfactory price just within 2 weeks since it was on the market. We are fully satisfied for what they have achieved in this respect. We appreciate whole heartedly the tremendous efforts the team has put in to sell our apartment within such a short time. Donovan, you certainly deserve to be one of the brightest agents in this field. Needless to say, we will highly recommend McGrath to our friends whoever has the intention of buying or selling their properties. G & G Chan

Can Do Agent

In simple terms Donovan delivered. Constant and concise communication through the whole process and achieved a result for us that was above expectations. Walked us through the process with respect and consideration for both myself and my wife and kept us up to date and informed each step of the way. His experience and capability was assuring. I have already recommended him to a friend and will do so in the future. Thanks Donovan

my views on Piers van Hamberg

I have dealt with Piers, both buying and selling, and I have always found him to be the ultimate professional and a totally honest man to boot. You will find plenty of Real estate agents who are not as good but not too many of pier's quality.
